This is what is know as the circle jerk prosecution. Produce a video (or have a âfriendâ tape/whisper etc.) a âtheoryâ, then use that âtheoryâ to bring a case citing said theoryâŚnothing is ârightâ, nothing is âfactualâ but by GOD someone leaked it and the GOPper in charge will use it to âproveâ they are âcorrectâ. Uh huh.
At least twice during last Tuesdayâs hearing, House Republicans cited Wikipedia to assert their arguments as to why impeachment proceedings for Koskinen should go forward.
Can I edit the Constitution and the United States Code on Wikipedia?
The only thing scandalous about the whole âIRS scandalâ is that they approved blatantly political Tea Party groups for special tax statuses reserved for non-political organizations.
Who the fnck uses a Blackberry?
I was only gone for a minute, and now itâs 2002?
ummmm
the Pentagonâs cutting edge technology is still 8" floppy discs⌠they probably have to use 360 MB plate disc packs tooâŚ
From the article:
âIt bore a closer resemblance to a campaign attack ad than to the sort of the evidence typically provided in a congressional hearing.â
And I am forced to say,
Well no shit!
Chaffetz is just another tea party pig wallowing at the trough of public money to power political inquisitions. We need to get this disease out of Congress stat!
Chaffetz real forte is prostitution scandals. Why is is wasting his talents with this nonsense? Chaffetz knows prostitution, fair market prices, merchandise quality, the whole enchilada. Why mess with that kind of track record? Beyond that the guy has David Vitter on speed dial.
Doesnât there need to be an actual crime in order to impeach?!?!? so whatâs his crime? AWD [Administering while democrat]? SUO [Serving under Obama]?
âI found the video to be very artistic. ⌠I would say it was professionally produced,â Johnson mused, which Chaffetz called a âhuge compliment.â
UmâŚwill someone please tell the clueless Congressman that wasnât a compliment. Itâs actually questioning the evidentiary import of said video.
Whereâs the outtake reel, the bloopers, the shot of Chafetz in a directorâs chair wearing riding jodhpurs and shouting directions with a megaphone? Thatâs the artistic creation America wants to see.
Guilt by accusation and accusation only. This is what this panel is attempting to do.
That they have violated decorum and all dignity expected of such a group is of no consideration. Let them bamboozle.
FWIW, I work for the government, and anytime somebodyâs computer is replaced, the hard drive must be destroyed. Not formatted, not overwritten with zeros, but taken apart and smashed. Thatâs the rule. We have a collection of the powerful neodymium magnets from them around the office, theyâre pretty cool.
So the chair of the House Oversight Committee doesnât know the procedures of the agency of which he is investigating? Hmm?
