You really want to go there, dems?

Remember way back when it was "Russia Russia Russia" 24 hours a day from all the left wing new outlets?

It's not any more. Now we're wading into campaign finance issues and boy do democrats live in a huge glass house. Led by Adam Schiff and Gerald Nadler, democrats are wetting their collective pants over the dream of Trump facing jail time.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Sunday said that President Trump might "face the real prospect of jail time" after prosecutors indicated last week that he directed illegal payments during his 2016 presidential campaign.

"There’s a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him. That he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time," he said on CBS's "Face the Nation." Schiff's comments come after federal prosecutors said in a legal filing Friday that referred to Trump as "Individual-1" that Trump during the 2016 campaign directed his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, to make illegal payments to two women claiming they had affairs with Trump. It was the first time prosecutors made those accusations against Trump.

Trump contend that it was merely a financial transaction.
Trump said on Twitter that Democrats were wrongly targeting “a simple private transaction.” Court filings last week drew renewed attention to six-figure payments made during the 2016 presidential campaign by Trump’s personal lawyer to two women so they would not discuss their alleged affairs with the candidate.
Nadler was once again breathless over the news:
U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler, who will lead the Judiciary Committee when Democrats take control of the House of Representatives next month, said on Sunday that if the payments were found to violate campaign finance laws it would be an impeachable offense.
What Russia?

As I said, dems live in a very large glass house. The obama campaign was hit with a $375,000 fine in 2013. Then we have to issue of hush money paid out by the government. Between 1997 and 2017 $17 million was paid out in 268 instances of sexual harassment. Who pays for this?

Taxpayers. Once a settlement is reached, the money is not paid out of an individual lawmaker's office but rather comes out of a special fund set up to handle this within the US Treasury -- meaning taxpayers are footing the bill. The fund was set up by the Congressional Accountability Act, the 1995 law that created the Office of Compliance.
But the biggest violation of all was committed by the Clinton's. After a personal visit to Vladimir Putin's house in 2010 Bill Clinton was paid $500,000
Bill Clinton is paid $500,000 for a speech in Moscow by a Russian investment bank with ties to the Kremlin that assigned a buy rating to Uranium One stock.
This transpired while hillary clinton was Secretary of State. It screams violation. The Clinton's were Putin's lobbyists. Review it at the link.

And remember, they could not make it stick to John Edwards.

Mark Penn notes that the plea deals are simply concocted efforts to enable nailing Trump:

Democrats have nothing to fear from Democrats. “News” or not.

We actually have an authority who has already weighed in on what an impeachable offense is:

"An impeachable offense is an abuse of Presidential power designed to or with the effect of undermining the structure or function of government, or undermining constitutional liberties."

Who wrote that, I wonder?

In 2017 Chuck Schumer was accused of sexual harassment. Release the names.

This has already been fed back to him and its basic response is the time-worn classic; "That was then, this is now!"

What was then:

We didn't do anything when the Democrats, the Media and the RINOs kept a felon in the White House.

What is now:

The Democrats, the Media and the RINOs are trying to remove a duly-elected President from the White House.

This time, the long-suffering Deplorables are going to do something.

Somewhere, I heard Schiff would be taking some time off to have eyeball reduction surgery.

I think the campaign finance issues are DOA already. They are moving the goalposts again and saying even though the payments were committed before the president became president, they were committed in the service of fraudulently obtaining the office.

But the biggest violation of all was committed by the Clinton's.

This is one of the reasons why I don't read blogs -- illiteracy.

If we read this the way it was written the biggest violation was committed by some inanimate object owned by the Clintons.

I’ve had that surgery, at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota.

I had the same surgeons who did it for Mrs Barbara Bush.

It changed my life.

Eyeball or eyelid?

I see there is blepharoplasty, but I think that is eyelid or baggy eyes.

My eyes looked far worse than Schiffs.

Dr Geraity and two other surgeons performed decompressive eye surgery, which they had just developed. I was about the 860th patient, with one of the earlier patients beings Mrs. Barbra Bush.

It was about a 4 hour surgery, with them going behind my upper lip and then up — opening two sinus cavities so the swollen tissue around my eyes had a place to go, instead of pushing my eyes forward.

There’s more to it, but that’s the jist of things, and the results have been spectacular.

You would never know that my eyes were nearly falling out of my head. Other doctors have made scientific measurements of the results, and everything falls in the normal range.

I thank God for the American health system.
