[mardi59]

Do they need a building to fall on them? IMPEACH THE THUG-N-CHIEF!

[Venturer]

King hell ,Obama doesn’t think he is King, he has god complex.

He has his sticky fingers into everything crooked going on in Washington.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm!

I hope Rush picks this up. I’ve sent it to Drudge.

Nixon and Clinton were impeached for far less offenses

[End Times Sentinel]

I don’t know if impeachment is the road to go. He’s going to be out of there on his own before we can remove him from office. I doubt it’d get through the Senate anyway.

I DO think he ought to be prosecuted. And no Pardon. Yes, it’s an ugly thing to have a former President imprisoned, but apparently the ethos right now is that some people are untouchable. Give proof that they’re not.

[mosaicwolf]

This shouldn't surprise anyone. He learned these methods from the Chicago Mafia. (Read: democrat party)

[DuncanWaring]

Nixon wasn’t impeached.

[dforest]

Chicago thug crooks, all of them.

They are ripping us off.

[Nachum]

“Impeach!!”

Impeach, my butt. Throw him in jail and toss the keys over the border into mexico.

[vanilla swirl]

You can’t impeach someone who’s not elligible anyway ;-)

[Madame Dufarge]

In April, Grassley asked Genachowski to hand over all records of communications, including emails between Falcone and the FCC, and LightSquared and the FCC. Genachowski declined to turn over those records.

Whoops, time to put the shredders at the FCC into overdrive.

This happens more often than is generally thought. Back in Clinton time during the tenure of the Hon. Togo west as SecArmy his office did everything it could short of issuing a direct order to get the Army to sign on to the Boeing Prime Contractor concept for the AH 64 Apache. The PC concept was supposed to reduce cost by shifting virtually all maintenance and support below unit level to the airframe manufacturer. The problem was the Boeing numbers were cooked so badly that the AMC reviewers could never even figure them out. The organic support numbers always came in lower if anybody but Boeing did the accounting drill. The back and forth between AMC and DA Staff and SecArmy went on for months hanging up long term planning and budgeting for Apache support. Finally Sec Army got told in some fashion that the numbers it kept pushing would never be signed off on and the only way Prime Contractor was going to
happen was for the Hon. Togo to issue a direct order. He was a hack but not a really dumb one so that ended the PC Apache saga. Someone at DA staff had the guts to stand up to the hacks maybe at the price of his career.

Falcone, his wife, and the CEO of LightSquared, Sanjiv Ahuja, have ....given more than $90,000 to the Democratic causes.... since they applied for the license.

..and the drumbeat of "pay to play" beats louder and louder.
