The not so honorable Dick Durbin
Powerline ^ | January 14, 2018 | Paul Mirengoff

Posted on 01/15/2018 9:06:28 AM PST by yoe

Today ( Chuck Schumer tweeted this) about his comrade-in-arms, Dick Durbin:

"To impugn @SenatorDurbin’s integrity is disgraceful. Whether you agree with him on the issues or not, he is one of the most honorable members of the Senate.

Actually, Durbin is one of the slimiest members of the Senate. And that covers lots of territory.

[snip]In addition to making stuff up, Durbin is willing, if not eager, to impugn the integrity of those who deserve better. During the Bush administration, he (he compared) American soldiers to Nazis, Soviets, and Pol Pot.

Durbin’s word would meant nothing wihout his buddy Linda (Lindsey) Grahamnesty backing him up.

He gave all the Network and Cable News shows the claim that “Senators of ‘both’ parties confirmed that Trump made racist statements” at the meeting.

Why did Trump meet with those two anyway?

Why was Trump golfing and paling around with Graham?

Anyone with common sense would have known that Graham would stab him in the back.

Once again Grahamnesty gets completely off the hook for it.

Disgraceful? No. Futile, as Durbin has no integrity. And never has.

The surname Durbin originated in Languedoc, in southern France.

Filing an ethics complaint in the Senate is the very LAST thing that will "....Get it out in the open...."

If a complaint were ever filed, it would go behind closed doors for private hearings, sometimes for months or years, and we would never hear of it in public again.

A complaint will never be filed for a "he said, she said" moment in a private meeting when there are no videos, audios, transcripts, nothing other than what people recall.

Supporters of the president heard it one way. Lying, sack-of-sh*t Durbin heard it his way.

Durbin performed well for his party. He has a long reputation for being the go-to guy for the democRATS when they want to plant a hornet's nest into an otherwise normal situation to politicize it.

Or as they say nowadays, to weaponize it. Durbin weaponized the alleged derisive remark made by Trump, to further the Left's goal to destroy Trump.

This is how both houses of congress address their member's unethical behavior. They don't air their dirty laundry out in the open.

Seems to me that Schumer was ahead when he kept his mouth shut;especially when talking about certain other politicians.

From what I heard the criticism was not that we don’t agree with him on the issues but rather that he lied about what the President said publicly put undiplomatic words in the mouth of the POTUS. To the detriment of the country. .
. . . which not only would be wrong if it was a lie, but equally egregious, if not more so, if it were the truth.
