Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) said Monday that Speaker of the House Paul Ryan was “cowardly” for announcing that he would not defend Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, and would not campaign for his election. Ryan made his announcement on a conference call with fellow members of the Republican caucus on Monday morning, just hours after Trump had turned in a strong debate performance against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in St. Louis on Sunday night.
“Leaders are supposed to stand firm and solid in moments of crisis,” Rohrabacher told the Orange County Register. “Instead, he’s in a panic. It’s not good leadership. … I think the Republicans who are backing away are gutless. We don’t have to just be concerned about saving House seats. We have to be concerned about saving the United States of America.” Other Republican congressmen from Orange County have been critical of Trump’s comments but none has withdrawn their political support.

Thank you, Dana R. With Ryan bucking I felt this weekend something like William Wallace seeing the hood pulled up to reveal Robert the Bruce working against him.
The wife and I just called Rep Ed Royce office and told him support Dana Rohrabacher’s statement of calling Ryan a coward. The are both Orange County Republicans.
We have a very good descriptive word for the GOPe Ryans in our congress!
It starts with a p and ends in y, and it has 5 letters.
The 7 letter plural version ends with ies and replaces the y.
Ryan is a reckless idiot, but what do you expect from someone who rushed to pass Obama's budget so he could move on to dealing with "conservative" issues. He is so conceited that he thinks he can fool the public.
No he is in the midst of planned self-sabotage. He is cluelessly conceited with not an idea of what is actuallly going on politically. Where does he think he is when the basket of deplorable think him more despicable than any democrat.
Those Tea Party Patriots can change their party affiliation and force the republicans into a minority then they would have some leverage, but they won't.
+ Dana
That’s my guy! Good to hear he’s not one of “those” congresscritters.
I actually debated him on Twitter once. A sitting Congressman! For that alone he has my respect.
Rohrabacher gets 60%+ in his elections.
He doesn’t have to worry about reelection.
Other Reps do.
Actually, many of the most vocal never Trumpers are in safe seats. Charlie Dent, Lindsay Grahamnesty, etc.
Rancid Preubus just sent me a survey and I blasted him and RINO Ryan a new asshole... The GOPe is dead! ...
A talented fund-raiser and behind-the-scenes power broker, [Khaled] Saffuri [see KASHOGGI] built bridges to politicians in both parties by generously contributing to their election campaigns, from California libertarian Rep. Dana Rohrabacher in the GOP to Rep. Cynthia McKinney, the hard-left Georgia Democrat. He has worked to get President Bill Clinton to intervene in Bosnia. He has taken members of Congress on trips to Arab countries. He has lobbied hard but quietly against pro-Israel legislation. In 1998, along with Republican activist Grover Norquist, Saffuri established the Islamic Institute in Washington with the stated purpose of promoting free-market ideals in the Muslim world and of bringing American Muslims into the Republican Party. ------- Saffuri's Ties to Terror Suspects Insight ^ | 2-23-2004 | Kenneth R.

To: blueplum -- So girlygirl has been at her lobbying for some time. -- Some "new," and some "old."A new complaint filed by investor Bill Browder with the Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control alleges that California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher and his staff director, Paul Behrends, violated US sanctions when they accepted anti-Magnitsky Act material from the Russian prosecutor's office and used it to try to undermine the legislation in Washington.Dana Rohrabacher slams Bill Browder for complaint - Business Insider - Jul. 25, 2017
Browder, who spearheaded the passage of the Magnitsky Act in 2012, said Rohrabacher's anti-Magnitsky efforts amounted to providing a service to Russia's deputy prosecutor general Victor Grin, who was sanctioned as part of the Magnitsky Act and would benefit from its repeal.
Rohrabacher's spokesman, Ken Grubbs, responded to the complaint Tuesday morning, characterizing Browder's OFAC filing as an attempt to obfuscate Russia's side of the story and slamming the wealthy investor as "a billionaire tax exile." ...
Reached for additional comment on Grubbs' statement, Browder said that in spite of seeing "documentary evidence showing that Sergei Magnitsky was murdered," Rohrabacher "has been knowingly spreading false information from the Kremlin that Sergei died of natural causes in order to assist certain sanctioned Russian individuals who want to get off the Magnitsky list." Browder, who called Rohrabacher's actions last summer "brazen" violations, added that is behavior is "not consistent with his role as a US Congressman" and needs to be "examined thoroughly and fearlessly."
US authorities have been going after the alleged perpetrators and beneficiaries of the fraud since Magnistky died in 2009. The court filing made by Prevezon, led by businessman Denys Katsyv, alleges: "Browder and his agents engaged in a series of misrepresentations to execute the fraud, to distance themselves from it, and to pin it on the Russian officials investigating Browder for a separate tax fraud his companies committed."Accused turns accuser against Bill Browder's claims of corruption | The Independent | 9 Dec 2015 Veselnitskaya has been involved in the Prevezon case for a few years.16 posted on 7/28/2017, 11:21:28 AM by Cboldt [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 14

see what I mean? Rohrabacher was one of the two identified Reps, McCain being the other. I’d have to check my old posts for the exact wording but he had said girlygirl left him ‘official Russian’ (info/propaganda/briefing) regarding the Global Mag Act. (I remembered that because it was almost the same wording as the accusation against Don Jr.- that girlygirl had given him ‘official’ Russian (whatever)
But not a peep or a squeek about a single Dem meeting or a single one that received the same ‘official russian’ (whatever) girlygirl was handing out to whoever she could.
