It should cost him his seat in congress, and his freedom. His sorry butt should be behind bars.
Let him sweat. He deserves to.
I don’t think that he will run again for Congress, but he will be replaced by another moonbat Democrat. It’s a “safely Democratic” Congressional seat.
What a novel thought: Holding Democrats accountable for their actions.
Hello, Baghdad presidential palace? This is Congressman McDermott. When Saddam steps back in, please tell him his old buddy called, and could use some help with . . . . oh, damn!
The Liberal Mafia will be forced to waste $1 million bailing this creep put. That is $1 million less to injure the USA.
Happy Memorial Day!
Curious, the PU didn’t happen to mention the trouble McDimwitt got himself into for trying to hide his assets (principally real estate) in order to frustrate efforts to collect on this obligation.
Oh well, what do you expect from a rag who considers this traitor a “moderate national profile”?!
This is the same Pelz who just got the Wa state dem party to support the cowardly refusal of Lt. Ehren Watada to deploy to Iraq with his Stryker unit. The actions of all three are despicable.
I never understood how those two people got to see him without an appointment.
Didn’t McDerbutt visit Sadamn only weeks before the coalition invasion in Iraq?
I forgot about this phone conversation being recorded from a police scanner. Can someone explain this to me? Are phone calls nor secure? How about cell phones?
“The cell phone conference call was recorded by a Florida couple, John and Alice Martin, who stumbled onto the conversation while listening to a police scanner.”
BS
These were Dem operatives spying on the option. Nixon had to resign for the ramifications of this sort of activity.
It’s a little known fact that Indian tribes can donate unlimited amounts of cash and there are no reporting requirements.
McDermott just pushed through recognition for the Duwamish tribe, in West Seattle, and they will have a Casino beneath the W. Seattle Bridge within 5 years.
It was all hush hush and now it’s a done deal.
Nobody is asking him how much money the tribe gave him to get this done.
I’m betting he will write one check to pay off this bill and it will be “new money” from the tribe.
As an aside, the snobby liberals in W. Seattle are the ones who return McDermott to office every two years and they will be supremely pissed when this casino plan is divulged in the press.
But they will no hold him accountable in the least.
Between McDermott, Berger and William Jefferson the dems have done an excellent job stonewalling the media and the public as to the extent of their corruption and treasonous behavior. It really is discouraging to see these criminals in power.
I don’t think I read anywhere in the entire article that what McDermott did was illegal and that he should have been thrown in jail.
Just like Sandy Berger.
If he raises money for his legal fees isnt he liable for the taxes on all that money?
...The Martins gave the tape to McDermott, who at the time was a member of the House Ethics Committee. McDermott provided the tape to reporters for The New York Times and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"The most recent decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia seriously undermines the First Amendment protections guaranteed by the Constitution, and we continue to review the significant constitutional issues involved," McDermott said
This POS has the unmitigated gall to speak of the first amendment being undermined when he was the one who violated just about every ethic in the book concerning the right to privacy and broke several laws to boot.
I forgot, only democrats have to right to privacy
