Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan Introduce Articles of Impeachment for Rosenstein
If I had ever been inclined to take these people seriously before (not that I recall that I ever was), that ship has sailed. Clowns. They should be honest and put on the makeup and big floppy shoes, because that’s all they are.
The Republican party is such a joke. And the only people who bother to stand up and declare what nonsense this all is? People who are retiring anyway.
[Cross-posted at The Jury Talks Back.]
Donald Trump has driven this party completely and wholly insane.
Patterico (cff84e) — 7/26/2018 @ 9:17 amToo many GOP “Leaders” have assumed the GOP rank and file in insane. So they aren’t going to give up their career to oppose what the “Leaders” “know” to be the Id of their base.
I wish somebody — a Ted Cruz type, not the usual moderate who gets assigned this duty, would start telling some truths to their voters, and even risk getting voted out of office. But there isn’t much of a career path for the old fashioned politician who just wants the government to work in a somewhat constitutional fashion. They are all people pretending to be the loud guy in the bar with all the self-confident opinions.

Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan are putting in a Congressional pretext to fire Rosenstein or have him ‘resign in protest’, let’s not pretend they don’t know exactly what they’re doing, having learned from how the Democrats operate. They know that the feeble rejoinders of “CLOWNS!!! RED-NOSED MISCREANTS!!!” from the cheap consultant seats are rather the opposite of convincing.
Paul Ryan will be remembered mainly for losing quite badly to Joe Biden in what should have been an easy debate, his first gigantic loss against Team Clown and a convincing case to start accrediting Clown College degrees for future reps.

Colonel Haiku (207293) — 7/26/2018 @ 11:48 amFace it though, it lines up well for a timed voluntary or “involuntary” resignation circa 2022 and handoff until 2032.

31 people indicted, one currently on trial for up to 300 years, 5 guilty pleas. Looks pretty good for 16 months work, especially compared to the 18 years between Whitewater, Scooter Libby, and Iran Contra.

narciso (d1f714) — 7/26/2018 @ 2:06 pm(continued from #32) Patterico, you say Trump has driven (the GOP)… insane.
I tend to agree to the limited extent that filing an impeachment bill is an obvious overreaction which is likely to backfire. Yet, the bill’s sponsors are certainly to be commended for taking bold steps to force DOJ and FBI stonewalling front and center.
Congress has legitimate constitutionally mandated oversight responsibilities which are unambiguous and require the timely production of necessary documents. It is the blatant slow walking, stonewalling, and excessive redactions which are at the root of GOP (and voter) frustration with Rosenstine’s campaign to obstruct Congressional investigations into malignant political corruption at the very top of DOJ, FBI, CIA, and State Department under the control and direction of Barack Obama and his co-conspirators in the WH Oval Office.
This criminal conspiracy both before the election (Uranium One and whitewashing Hillary’s multiple felonies at the State Department) during the election (sabotaging the Sanders campaign and obstructing justice by destroying evidence) and after the election by using the institutions of the Federal government to conceal their crimes and frame Donald Trump for manufactured crimes.
If Rosenstine was pulling any of this sophomoric crap on a real Attorney General, he’d have long ago been perp walked out of the building in handcuffs and into a waiting paddywagon.
BTW: Did it ever cross your mind that when Strozk mentioned an insurance policy to Lisa Page – he may have been referring to Jeff Sessions?

““It’s one of the outstanding questions that we have for the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. We’ve had that question out to them for pretty much three months now. They have not answered it yet,” Nunes told The Hill’s Buck Sexton.
“Is it your belief it is likely that there was activity going on in advance of the start of that official FBI investigation?” Sexton asked.
“I will just tell you we wouldn’t be asking those questions if we didn’t think we had some suspicion of that,” Nunes responded. “The problem with this is, running informants into political campaigns, or political campaign actors on the counterintelligence side especially, is a major problem.”

https://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/07/26/gop-and-democrats-triple-h-2b-visa-workers-to-almost-200000/
“The GOP-run House appropriations committee voted to help business owners on Wednesday by tripling the resident population of wage-cutting H-2B workers to almost 200,000.
The H-2B visa-worker program imports roughly 66,000 seasonal workers each year, allowing seasonal companies to lower wages for American seasonal workers and for year-round staff and supervisors.
The new amendment will allow CEOs to hire H-2B workers from the two prior years without counting them under the 66,000 annual cap. That legal trick will give CEOs a population of up to 198,000 H-2B workers to help lower wages for a larger number of Americans — even though wages are climbing very slowly in the current good economy, and many younger Americans are far worse off than their parents.
The proposed H-2B population is huge — it is roughly equal to the number of new jobs added in a good month.
“The cheap-labor lobby never sleeps,” said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “The only solution is the elimination of the [H-2B] category.””
Indeed. We beat the cheap labor lobby for a few generations in the aftermath of the Civil War, but memories are short and rich people are always looking for an excuse to lord it over people for pennies on the dollar.

Grab your colludescope, Red: Look! It’s Halley’s Comet!
Any Trumpskite who keeps trolling for Traitor Trump– from the decks of Trawler Red Fox; on blogs, on editorial boards, in White House press briefings, cowering weakly around Cabinet tables, in Congressional cloak rooms, in bars, bed or otherwise- is essentially complicit; enablers– Russian colluders all.
Traitor Trump will not be allowed to distract from this. It’s commands repeating this to the Red Colonel and Trumpskites over and over, – as is their hunger for a daily dose of Traitor Trump’s ‘modus operandi:’
Traitor Trump, strode on to the global stage in Helsinki, Finland, stood just five feet from Putin, a trained KGB agent, dropped his pants, and sh!t on every American citizen in front of a worldwide audience, then to Vlad’s utter delight, wiped your azz w/t U.S. flag.

narciso (d1f714) — 7/27/2018 @ 4:48 amHeh. Almost as funny as Trump asking in faux outrage what kind of attorney secretly tape records his client’s phone calls. Well, the sort of attorney that has Trump for a client. Other Trump lawyers have a strict policy of never talking one-on-one with Trump because without a witness to the conversation Trump has a bad habit of “misremembering” what was said and what was agreed to. And you might notice Trump frequently mentions incredibly fantastic things people have said to him or about him in private conversations – and I mean “incredibly fantastic” in the sense of totally unbelievable, like claiming Orrin Hatch told him he was the greatest president ever. (“I said, ‘Does that include Lincoln and Washington?’ He said ‘Yes’ I said, ‘I love this guy'”) You gotta laugh to keep from crying.

Basic law office management: A bad client will walk into your office. Don’t take him on in the first place is the best course, but he might fool you initially. If you do take him on, follow the rules scrupulously, charge him your maximum rate for every minute of your time, and the minutes he breaks the rules, asks you to break the rules, or doesn’t pay you, fire the sonuvab!tch.

It has been reported that Cohen didn’t mention his new claim when he testified to two Congressional committees last year, and a person knowledgeable about Cohen’s House Intell Committee testimony told CNN (yay!) that Cohen said nothing at that time as to whether or not Trump knew of the 2016 meeting.

narciso (d1f714) — 7/27/2018 @ 6:29 am#147 — Did anyone ask Cohen a question that would have elicited an answer (or should have elicited an answer) at those hearings? I could see him invoking privelege (based on his claim that he’s Trump’s lawyer), or nobody thought to ask the right question.

Blago is a folk hero to many and is often lauded for his refusal to raise State sales and income taxes whilst in office.

He also said that he will run against Trump and defeat him in the 2020 election if the Democrats don’t find “a street fighter”.

Dave (445e97) — 7/27/2018 @ 7:32 amIf you’ll consider that New York state’s top attorney got his rocks off by beating the women he was having sex with, and the third one back had to resign from Governor because he was engaged in interstate prostitution, Cohen might be as good as it gets for New York lawyers. Giuliani was considered a slimeball, too, kind of an olive-oil drenched, swarthy Roy Cohn, when he was the US Attorney there.

All those denials by him about a meeting with Putineers and about hush money were all lies.
