We all saw what Comey did.
Like Trump said, Comey letting Hillary skate was akin to tossing a stick of dynamite into the Justice Dept.
Prosecute the sailor who took a selfie on an SSN and send him to Leavenworth, but let Hillary skate.
BAH!
This is a bitter pill for the good cops
The Seventeenth Amendment (Amendment XVII) to the United States Constitution established the popular election of United States Senators by the people of the states. The amendment supersedes Article I, §3, Clauses 1 and 2 of the Constitution, under which senators were elected by state legislatures.
16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Federal Income Tax (1913) ... Passed by Congress on July 2, 1909, and ratified February 3, 1913, the 16th amendment established Congress's right to impose a Federal income tax.
If you haven’t seen this yet, it’s VERY interesting reading ....
More indications Intel assessment of Russian interference in election was rigged
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3552928/posts
A couple of key paragraphs:
Hand-picking a handful of analysts from just three intelligence agencies to write such a controversial assessment went against standing rules to vet such analyses throughout the Intelligence Community within its existing structure. The idea of using hand-picked intelligence analysts selected through some unknown process to write an assessment on such a politically sensitive topic carries a strong stench of politicization.
I also note that FBI Director James Comey said in testimony to the House Intelligence Committee the conclusion that Russia tried to affect the outcome of the election to help Trump win was based on logic, not evidence. So we now know this was a subjective judgment made by a hand-picked group of intelligence analysts.
One has to ask how these hand-picked analysts were picked. Who picked them? Who was excluded? I am also concerned that the conclusions of these hand-picked intelligence analysts were later vetted and approved by Clapper and three other intelligence agency heads.
A major problem with this process is that it gave John Brennan, CIA’s hyper-partisan former director, enormous influence over the drafting of the ICA. Given Brennan’s scathing criticism of Mr. Trump before and after the election, he should have had no role whatsoever in the drafting of this assessment. Instead, Brennan probably selected the CIA analysts who worked on the ICA and reviewed and approved their conclusions.
Looks like in Maine to win pubbies would have to concentrate on pubbies and indys,lots of independents up there.
So no confirmation from McConnell himself, just a former staffer? I doubt McConnell would be stupid enough to confirm this. I want to hear it from the horse’s mouth or some other orifice.
Just so you all know, I will be putting up the links to the shows later on but might be a bit late.
My son-in-law just called and told me my daughter didn’t even ask to see my granddaughter today. But my granddaughter desperately wants to see her mother so he’s taking her. Has to lie about her age because the current loony bin daughter is in have to be 16 to visit.
Why is she in the loony bin? This is what...the fourth or fifth time THIS YEAR!
And nobody notices this?
Anyway, going down to see my niece, who also has nobody on Mother’s Day as her son is in Florida. So might be late tonight but I will put up the links and snark soon as I can.
Were they? oh well its a mute as it is not a requirement of office or of employment.
It is Personal information and not public.
You know what my tax returns say?
I suffered under OBAMA
Put that in the publics pipe if they need something to smoke!
I gotta tell ya just in normal surfing I find so much jeopardy for Comey. He was a classic screw-up. He was involved in everything and most of it was messed up.If you needed 20 or 25 good reasons to fire him they are all there.
what i was getting at was Congressman Mike Rogers and how he would be as FBI director.?
Exactly no question.But if you are Rove its probably hard to get over.....
I don't know really don't have a lot on him. Its why I'm asking now.
Indeed. For further proof see what Clapper said about Trump on CNN this morning.
Now that is beginning to make sense,I figured there was something I was missing here's one thing already.
That's how we do it, but maybe GOTV could be driven harder. If the R voters were convinced victory were possible.
I don't know the exact recent numbers of R turnout.
NO question,IMHO Trump is the best potus we have had since Reagan.
That's true, but my point is Rogers, as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, was charged with investigating the adequacy of security at the Benghazi compound prior to the Sep 11, 2012 terrorist attack and his wife was the president and CEO of the company that was contracted by the State Department to provide intelligence based and physical security services for U.S. diplomatic posts around the world.
This was not only business as usual and crony capitalism, but a hugh conflict that should disqualify Rogers from anything to do with the FBI and any of it's investigations.
They've become like an all caps letter with no paragraph breaks.
Unreadable noise.
see #156
“I think the Senate majority leader thinks that’s a fantastic idea”.
Just fake news to stir the pot. Clearly, McConnell did not say this-someone else did.
The propaganda machine out of the DNC and the Rats is in full gear and on display. They are Masters at this-the Republicans are not.
I’m guessing but I don’t think Maine fits the bray mold for going after pubbies only. I think you would have to go after indys there as well.Bray would know.
