What is the matter with this drooling moron? Dropped on his head as a child? Too many swirlies at school? Concussion from bully punches? How does a person even get that messed up?

Sometimes a lawyer is just a lawyer...

Gorelick represented Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of Donald Trump, as he considered a possible role in the White House. She had advised Kushner, who has sprawling financial interests in a multi-billion-dollar global real estate empire, on how he might comply with federal ethics and anti-nepotism laws. She has argued that although officials leading federal agencies are barred from hiring relatives, the White House is not an agency and thus exempt.

I wouldn't say Trump lies that much: a lie being defined to saying something one knows to be untrue. I believe, in almost all cases, the now-President Trump believes what he says to be true when he says it or tweets it.The problem is that he has a tendency to go off half-cocked, or perhaps has a propensity to shoot from the hip. It should be curbed but it's not the same as lying. He should have the evidence at hand, or a direct trail to it, when he makes a charge.

“Lifehacker has really gone downhill.”

It’s owned by Gawker after all.

For experts on lying, refer to Bubba Clinton.

Trump spent his time actually creating things.

Bubba spent his time raping things.

Gorelick is an advisor to Ivanka’s Trust. Don’t know about Jared’s Trust.

This is about ETHICS of the WH. She is going to be advising them about the legal pitfalls, etc. on an ongoing basis.

You don’t see a problem with that????

I guess there are no other lawyers who could do the same thing in DC.

Another born again truth virgin who is suddenly concerned about the virtues of politicians.
The end justifies the means is a core value of the left.
Lying and propaganda is core strategy for the left to effect their values.

(and not just the 'Gorelick wall' fiasco)

And ironically enough, Obama tore down that wall with his EO as he was going out the door.

Letting them get up a full head of steam, and then out comes the evidence and will make them look like idiots. Again.
