Just to be clear. A spokesman for a Republican is whining about a special interest group that doesnât disclose its donors.
Newest addition to the donnieâs VP listâŚ
âIrony can be pretty ironic sometimesâ
WIlliam Shatner, Airplane II
Oh Boy! Possible illegal insider trading. Heâll be perfect as a VP for Donald âthe draft dodging cowardâ Trump.
So, it appears to be OK for a Senator to profit on insider knowledge of a stock, unless the stock is being manipulated by other forces as well. Got it.
âA politically motivated special interest group"
Isnât that the benghazi committee?
ÂŽ? TPMâs regular copy editor must have called in sick.
âItâs not Senator Corkerâs fault for not reporting his assets and income properly. Itâs the fault of public interest groups in finding this out and disclosing it!â
trumpfâs going to seize on this. Murderer will seem tame next to what he and his people will spew.
Probably because heâs a Strong Christian or sumthinâ
One, two, three - cue in the whining from the Republicans!
Looking is one thing, doing something about what they find is another.
I donât remember the last pol that was actually jailed for such things other than Blagoyovich and that wasnât exactly the same thing.
All these politicians get rich while in office when they live off an easily accounted for fixed income. If they were such investment geniuses, then why werenât they scoring such big windfalls before they were in office?
Just investigate them all on an annual basis no matter how they file. If they fail to disclose, penalize them-hard. If they are cheating, then prosecute them, absolutely and every time.
The mass exodus and the new political landscape would be a sight to see.
A politically motivated special interest group that refuses to disclose its donors continues to make baseless charges against Senator Corker, and we know that any effort to examine his actions will result in their smear campaign being discredited,â Johnson said in a statement provided to Politico.
But
He revised several yearsâ worth of disclosure reports after the WSJ inquired about the inconsistencies in his finances.
Once again, those âsmearsâ must have been based on those pesky liburl facts and propagated by that terrible WSJ well known for itâs liburl leanings.
Well, now we know why he may be on Drumpfâs short-list for VP.
I love how Corker is so âinnocentâ but Terry McAuliffe being investigated by the FBI is âguilty!â before t hey even find anything. Uh huh.
âHe is rumored to be the short list for Donald Trumpâs vice presidential pickâ
The fact that this story is out there, is a pretty good indication that its not just a rumor. The process of vetting him is what made this public.
I suspect the same thing with regards to McAuliffe.
Exactly my thoughts! When I read âA politically motivated special interest group that refuses to disclose its donors continues to make baseless charges againstâŚ" I thought they were referring to Roveâs Crossroads and other dark PACs.
âŚand in other news⌠
Are you saying that Corker isnât a Republican?
