John Hawkins writes at Townhall: "Boehner Resigned? Good. Go Cry, Drink And Surrender Somewhere Else."
Well, Boehner's resignation is far too late for me and especially far too late for the Fast and Furious investigation that he derailed because the FBI was blackmailing him. Long-time readers will recall that when the Issa committee got around to noticing the fact, uncovered by this blog and FOX News' William La Jeunesse, that the middle men who the ATF agents were forbidden by their superiors from following (the ones who actually transported the weapons across the border) were the Miramontes brothers who were paid FBI informants, that Boehner intervened and used every bit of his influence to choke off further inquiry.
In fact, this may have played a role in Boehner's decision to resign. Caveat lector: I have only a single source for the following statement but it is a source that has proven reliable in the past. In the meeting with conservative members of his caucus the day before, Boehner insisted that he wasn't going to fight for the defunding of Planned Parenthood. The meeting then turned stormy, with promises to have a vote to "vacate the chair." Boehner, according to this source, was still defiant until someone threatened to "tell what they knew about Fast and Furious and the FBI blackmail." Boehner, according to this source, "turned ashy white under that fake tan" and "looked stricken." He got "deathly quiet" and then changed the subject. Again, this is a single source statement, and I would put it in the class of rumor except for where it came from. The reader is invited to use his or her own judgment on that. I am simply reporting what I was told by a single source that I trust
It’s old news, nothing here, we need to move on, and so on.
Only think new is Boehner resigned. It is soooo Bad he finally was backed into a corner. Resign or be removed. Either way he will no longer have power to protect the O_tard.

And if someone knows a felony is being committed, then what is that someone guilty of?
Bingo! Also surrender yourself!
That was obvious.
.
Back to the thread.
""It is my serious suspicion that Clintons server was hacked. - The Iranians, Chinese, and Russians have all sorts of stuff that implicates Clinton and Obama in fishy activities.
""That is why Kerry and Obama were so adamant that the Iranian nuke deal was secret and contained such a big payment to Iran.
""They have the goods on the State Dept., and the POTUS.""
Thanks, anon...
I would watch for a presidential pardon for Boehner to complete the game
I’m sitting here just shaking my head.
Really agree: one of the best in each genre.
Denny Hasteret is one of many;remember the FBI files the scum from AR stole?
The whole point of storing your metadata is to store your history. Years later, when your political star is on the rise, there is mountains of data stored about you.
Where you serf on the Internet
Who you talk with
Where you go
Your infidelities
Your weaknesses
For most people, your smartphone is your constant companion. It’s also a constant voyeur of your life.
Storing your metadata is the same as storing a blow by blow on your life. It’s all there, ready to be picked apart if you should someday rise up as a political opponent.
I’ve ran for local office, more than once.
After the second time, I received a call from a prominent financial backer. He told me that he had received an interesting call and was asked to speak with me about it.
1. It was obvious that I wasn’t going to easily give up being involved with politics.
2. I was being watched. Everything I said, everything I post online; it’s watched.
3. If I learn to play ball, there’s a place for me in the system.
4. If not, the best way to keep up and comers down is to never let them come up in the first place. If I choose not to learn how the game is played, then my political opponents will always out fundraise me by at least 5:1.
5. A team player is worth spending tons of money to keep.
6. A non-team player? It’s much cheaper to spend them into the ground.
7. Choose wisely.
Now, I’m a political nobody. I’m not paranoid, per se. What I think about the above conversation is that if it was made to me, then it’s a very common device used by the power players. I appreciated the touch of using somebody they knew I would answer the phone and listen to in order to make the pitch.
Elián González!!
Interesting.
Yes, I really like Ted Cruz too.
Yes, I remember well what Slick was capable of in the 1980’s.
I spent a lot of time in AR. Businessmen there were livid about Slick’s antics.
Yes, I have been to Mena, many times. But never to Nella.
Well, as you can see, I obviously haven’t learned how to play ball. I’m a hardhead I guess.
