Hmmmmmā¦no wonder Spankee is freaking out.
Iāll bet his best buddy Rosemary from Deutsche Bank gets orders from her higher-ups (HQ) to make nice with the investigations or else. Theyāre reeling from other scandals and are trying to clean up the bankās reputation. What Iāve read is that they were totally freaked out when they discovered the last round of loans to Spankeeā¦
One of the true-isms of working in public service is that āconservativeā people are always saying that we need to run our organizations like businesses. We would be in prison if we did.
Is this the same Rose Mary who gave us the 18 minute gap in the Nixon tapes? s/
Again, Bannon perplexes me, as he sent over āthousandsā of documents. What side of the street is this guy working?
Ha, Iād missed thatā¦!
What a hoot. Karma is laughing, I suspect.
His own. Heāll mow down anybody who gets in his way. Or just for fun.
Iāll be around all day to accept the apologies from the folks who have been screaming about Nadler being useless, that heās making responses to his committee optional, that heās taking too long, etcā¦
If theyāve requested a subpoena, by all means please accomodate them.
It occurs to me that not everyone in the WH in a position to hand documents over to Nadler is a fan of Trump.
Oh, Iām sure there will be some holdouts. But the folks who donāt have the personal backing of the WH are likely to fully cooperate here to hope to avoid any troubles of their own. And it sounds like thatās what has happened.
And since the requests really overlapped, Nadler will likely find most of the materials from the holdouts anyway (since e-mails tend to have a sender and a recipientā¦).
Volunteerism is nice, but I simply donāt understand why Nadler or his contemporaries in the House do not start with a subpoena and skip the Kabuki theater which is a DC hallmark.
Are we serious about this or not? This era of the 'sternly worded letter is a sad joke.
I presume these are thousands of non-incriminating documents, and the others will not be forthcoming absent a subpoena and a search warrant.
Naw. Deliberately withholding would just get them into a deeper stew. And since multiple people got requests for the same documentation, itās highly likely that Nadler gets what he needs from one of the others, then goes after the person who withheld it.
Bannon might be a jerk, heās not an idiot.
In ordinary times, Iād think so. But I donāt know if anything holds true in criminal proceedings related to this president. Itās like a contest of stupid. Though Iāll grant you, Olā Skinbags there is not the dumbest among them by a long shot.
I think everyone involved is looking at Manafort. And the fact that heās been in prison for the last 9 months already, with no pardon.
Naw, theyāll be looking after their own skin. Had Trump pardoned Manafort, different ballgame.
*Note that this doesnāt apply to the Trumps/Jared.
Very good point. Letās hope it convinces them to deliver all the goods that will cook their respective geese thoroughly, stat.
Because he just got tens of thousands of documents in two weeks.
If he started out with subpoenas, by the time those ran through all the legal proceedings and inevitable court challenges and whatnot, it would be several months at least before he would get anything.
There still will need to be subpoenas for the folks who either didnāt cooperate in this round, or withheld.
But this way the committee has a lot of material to work with while they go chasing things, rather than nothing.
ā¦some who have requested a subpoena from the Committee before they are comfortable supplying the information requested.
Surely, we can give the people what they want, eh?
Ever the showman, DT should appreciate that.
IMO part of his theory of overload, same thing that happened when donald was first in office. Just bury the committee with a literal ton of stuff to have to go through. Kind of like the MO of donaldās style āBaffle them with bullshitā
and so I donāt infringe their copyright, hereās a link to their advertisement so you can get it on a shirt, or any saying you like. hmmmm, just letting you know.https://keepcalms.com/p/keep-calm-if-you-can-t-dazzle-them-with-brilliance-then-baffle-them-with-bullshit/
Bannon piles up junk, wastes the time to go through it, he has complied and thus is off the hook. Isnāt it a win for him? Just his style as I see it.
