DOJ: We’re Not Equal Under the Law
No, people are not equal under the law. Just look at Trump. But will the DOJ allow Trump to somehow buy his way into their 60-day rule, too?
Trump Lies for Ratings. Again.
Who here would be surprised and shocked — shocked! — that Donald Trump lied to us? Hands? Anyone? Yeah, me neither. With all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea… — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 22, 2017 …whether there are “tapes” or recordings of my conversations with James Comey, but I did not make,...
Trump and the Electoral College
President Donald Trump speaks at press conference in the Rose Garden at the White House on June 9, 2017. (Erie News Now) Oh, Lordy. Trump still feels inadequate about his election. Again. Why can’t he act like most conservative Americans? Donny. Just go out and buy yourself some big pistol, maybe an assault rifle. Fondle them a bit, load and unload, then swagger in manly...
Liar
Yesterday, James Comey called President Donald Trump a liar. He did this in sharp,, specific detail. He cited his contemporaneous documentation and the people he spoke to at the time. Comey was specific, detailed, and damning. Today, Trump responded to Comey’s accusations, saying everything Comey had said was a lie. Trump wasn’t especially specific about his counter-charges. And yet Trump (and his sleazy lawyer) were...
Abuse of Position and Power
This Oct. 11, 1991 file photo shows University of Oklahoma Law Professor Anita Hill testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington. HBO says that Scandal star Kerry Washington will play Hill in a film about the 1991 Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Clarence Thomas. (AP Photo) Lots of people have compared the Republican questions for James Comey yesterday to the 1991...
Off His Meds?
The Comey testimony had so many bombshells it’s hard to summarize it, but I wanted to touch on Sen. John McCain. He was listed as an ex officio member, which means he isn’t a voting member, but they let him ask questions. He was the last questioner. The most charitable interpretation I’ve got is that the GOP leadership shipped him in to tar Comey. I’m...
Trump denies… oh, who really cares?
I love the word ‘fabulist’. When a reporter asked President Trump whether he urged Comey to ease up on the Flynn investigation, Trump denied that he ever asked then-FBI Director James Comey…. Oh, who really cares what new version of his personal fantasies he’s spewing out this afternoon? Even when he’s telling the truth, if feels like he’s lying. It’s always an act, miming feelings...
Republicans Frown Sorrowfully
Making frowny faces at the TV cameras is not the same as ‘action’. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC). With the recent revelations about Trump, Republicans either reiterated their bland responses, or simply stopped answering questions. “We could do with a little less drama from the White House on a lot of things.” — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky). The intelligence sharing...
