Fox 5 News ^ | August 21, 2018

SAN DIEGO — Rep. Duncan Hunter and wife, Margaret, were indicted Tuesday on charges related to the misuse of $250,000 worth of campaign funds for personal expenses and the filing of false campaign finance records.

The charges of wire fraud, falsifying records, campaign finance violations and conspiracy were the culmination of a Department of Justice investigation that has stretched for more than a year, during which the Republican congressman from California has maintained his innocence.

Conservative Republicans demand more of our politicians.

By that logic, Trump should resign now, whether he did anything wrong or not.

The important thing is that we hold ourselves to a higher standard.

A San Diego County representative...
who is an Iraq War veteran...
who, the day after the September 11 attacks, quit his job and joined the United States Marine Corps...
who said the United States Navy was overworked and spread thin....
said that if a U.S. war with Iran becomes inevitable, which he "sure as hell" hoped wouldn't happen, the American response should be a "massive aerial bombing campaign"...
said that the culture of Middle Easterners made them unreliable negotiating partners...
said that President Obama would be breaking the law if he bombed Syria without a Congressional mandate, and that it should be considered an impeachable offense...
opposes women in combat...
pro-life (0% NARAL rating)...
pro-gun (93% NRA rating)...
was among the first to be openly pro-Trump during the Primaries...
supported DOMA (against gay marriage)...
calls for the repeal of ObamaCare...
strongly anti-amnesty...

Again, representing SAN DIEGO CA...

(And this investigation started in APR 2016)...

And some idiots here want him to go to Hell.

If this is Sessions’ plan, it’s a really stupid plan.
————
The Plan is to indict everyone around Trump then Mueller write a report to congress saying they committed all these crimes at trumps direction. TRUST ME. That is the Plan.

President Trump came to us as an imperfect man, honest about his past, honest about his desire to save the country. He doesn’t even collect his salary. How can you compare him to people who steal government and campaign money and lie about their social values?

He's been in Congress for almost a decade, after his father held that seat for almost 30 years.
You find plenty of entitled pr!cks with an (R) after their names in Washington these days.

He quit his IT analyst job on SEP 12, 2001, the day after 9-11, joined the Marines, and served in Iraq.

He served as a field artillery officer in the 1st Marine Division after the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He completed a second tour in Fallujah, Iraq, serving in Battery A, 1st Battalion, 11th Marines, participating in Operation Vigilant Resolve.

In September 2005, Hunter was honorably discharged from active duty but remained in the Marine Corps Reserve. He then started a residential development company.

In 2007, he was recalled to active duty and deployed to Afghanistan in support of the War in Afghanistan, for his THIRD tour of duty.

Hunter was honorably discharged from active duty in December 2007, but continues to serve in the Marine Corps Reserve. Hunter was promoted to major in 2012.

You're the pr!ck.

Some won’t be happy until a Liberal Democrat is filling that SD Co CA seat.

“The Plan is to indict everyone around Trump then Mueller write a report to congress saying they committed all these crimes at trumps direction. TRUST ME. That is the Plan.”

Spot on. Mueller will definitely use all the indictments against Trump associates in his impeachment report to infer that Trump is guilty by association.

I hope everyone is prepared for the inevitability that Mueller is going to bring this country to a constitutional crisis. It’s a fait accompli thanks to Jeff Sessions.

to infer that Trump is guilty
———-

Its actually worse since Cohens plea today specifically said under oath that he committed the crime “at the direction of the candidate”.

I dont want to depress you but there are no 40k sealed indictments. The PACER court system automatically and erroneously classifies everything as a sealed indictment. Every piece of paper.

This really disappoints me..I've donated to him in the past but not recently..

I will not donate to any one in the Republican party because of how the GOPe and RNC has treated a sitting President of their own Party...I'm truly ashamed of half of them...

It is time for the AMERICAN PEOPLE STAND UP AND BE HEARD...Roar like a Lion, we did it in 2016 and in the past two years we have seen the true hand of the PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS and they are disgusting...so lets vote for the RED, WHITE, AND BLUE...DJT AND HIS TEAM.

It is as if the biggest, strongest kid on the block just stands there whimpering, sobbing, doing nothing as the littlest pipsqueak repeatedly kicks him in the shins.

Or worse yet...
Elsewhere.

Micah 7:3-4 KJV

3 That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge [asketh] for a reward; and the great [man], he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.

4 The best of them [is] as a brier: the most upright [is sharper] than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen [and] thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.

News coming out soon that may show you were filled with bad kaka on Duncan. He may have had some difficulties but what’s happening to him is very heavy handed because he blew a whistle on something extremely threatening to the United States, the Gultainer Deal which most everyone is unaware of.

See Webb here (1-minute video):
https://youtu.be/1ZMOqUHToh0?t=64

Looks like Duncan is a guy we want in our corner and needs our support against the a-holes who single out conservatives for infractions that they do themselves.
