It’s required. They just didn’t do it.

So it isn't required only suggested by the law. :)

I saw a suggestion somewhere today that the felonies were set aside because of the good intentions of the perpetrators. It's laughable what these smug self-aggrandizing soulless idiots think they can put over on others.

I remember a Congressman Bustamante in California got caught and they cried that even though he was guilty they should forgive him because of all the good things he did.

Well if you don't do it and there is no penalty, doesn't that mean it isn't required?

Mosby: I have no idea where the Pakistani guys are but radio show hosts have said that at least one is still working for the Democrats.

Having Rep. Maxine Waters on the House Intelligence Committee is like having Jeffrey Dahmer as a Boy Scout leader.

She is dumb as dogcrap and is one of the biggest security risks in Congress due to her stupidity and big mouth.

One problem, unless Congress got smart and corrected flaws in their security procedures, Congresspersons usually don’t have to go thru security clearance background checks unless they are on a specific committee and HANDLE/SEE classified materials.

That said, there are more security risks in Congress today than I have seen since the late 60’s, early 70’s. Conyers, Danny Davis, Rosa DeLauro, Schakowsky, Waters, possibly Sinema, Judy Chu, Sanders, and many other members of both the Congressional Progressive (i.e. Marxist) Caucus and the Black Congressional Caucus. Both groups have direct ties to Communist Cuba. many of their members have long communist/Marxist ties to many domestic communist groups from the Communist Party USA, to the old Socialist Workers Party (Trotskyite), and the Stalinist “Workers World Party” fronts (ANSWER, IAC, Peoples Power Assembly, etc).

You can find a lot of this thoroughly documented in the book “The Enemies Within: Communists, Socialists and Progressives in the U.S. Congress”, 2013-2015 edition, Trevor Loudon, www.pacificfreedomfoundation.org as well as at the website www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org run by David Horowitz.

The new Loudon documentary “The Enemies Within” also has people talking about a lack of real security checks on Congressmen (who had demanded that they not have to go through them in order to be elected. That is why there are so many reds and pinks in the Democrat Party, and that included a couple with ties to the KGB, DGI and Sandinista Secret Police - Ted Kennedy, John Conyers, the late George Crockett Jr, the Burton brothers, Don Edwards, Chris Dodd, Tom Harkin (Hanoi, Managua contacts), John Kerry, and Ron Dellums, etc).

One former Democrat congressman, Bob Filner (D-PA), later the deposed mayor of San Diego, had two parents who were Communist Party organizers. Bella Abzug was though to be a KGB asset if not actual agent, and there were others. Today, John Conyers has the longest record of communist ties and front affiliations of anyone in Congress, and he was the head of the House Judiciary Committee for years.

One of his major jobs was the destruction of the House Internal Security Committee in 1975 and sealing their records for 75 years, not 25 years which was the normal records retention/sealing time. And this red bastard is still in Congress, blabbling like a demented old red/democrat (in his case, the same thing).

Unless the rules have changed, congresspersons are not subjected to security checks when they run for office and only if they handle classified materials, which shows you how stupid and ineffective this procedure is. A number of past congressional staffers hired by Conyers, Kerry, and others had direct ties to Cuba, the El Salvadorean reds, the Sandinistas, and Hanoi, Maurice Bishop’s communist Grenada (one of Ron Dellum’s key staffers was screwing him) and possibly Red China.

The Pakistani brothers is only the latest security problem among congressional committees/staffers. Once the East Germans had a man on a Senate Intelligence Committee and I believe a Cuban agent was on another though some congressional staffers for commie congressmen acted as the go-betweens to foreign Marxist governments, esp. Cuba.

President Trump needs to completely overhaul our internal security systems throughout the government especially if the old policies are still in effect.

When a schmuck like Sandy Berger, Clinton’s foreign affairs advisor, can get away with stealing and destroying classified documents held in the National Archives, then “America, you have a problem”.

Well, among the penalties are that the FISA act give Flynn standing to sue each person involved, in their individual capacity [not as employees of the government], for actual damages or statutory damages of $100 per day, whichever is greater, punitive damages, costs and attorneys fees [this last is the really expensive one].

And then there are the criminal penalties (10 years for each violation). People who are vulnerable would include Lynch and Sally Yates since both were attorneys general with specific statutory duties, a lot of other underlings in DOJ, and then the IC to the extent they were involved.

If they impeached a judge, they may not be successful, but they sure would change the narrative. I don’t expect the Congress to do anything to help Trump, however.
