What’s that saying about “cover ups” and being “what get you?”

Oh, no, this cannot be. He’s a Republican. Only Democrats commit voter fraud. I know this for a fact, because I’ve heard several Republicans say it------repeatedly.

Seems like the wrong ACORN got driven out of business back a few years ago; the one that really needed, and needs, to be taken down was “Asshole Conservatives Organizing to Re-elect Nazis.”

Lock. Him. Up.

Seriously. He knew or had reason to know that his staff was committing election fraud, and he personally intimidated a witness and tried to prevent further investigation. Oh, right, it’s OK if you were a SEAL and now you’re a republican.

It won’t hurt him after all he is anti immigration, women, gay, abortion, voting, black, livable wage, worker rights, and pro Evangelical to boot!

Apologies to any TPMers who this may describe, but between Greitens in MO and this guy, it almost seems like ex-special forces guys are trained/habituated to undertake forbidden clandestine activity.

Gosh, how weird. Maybe we shouldn’t elect people who we train to be good-guy snakes.

Scott Taylor had plausible deniability (it was just an overzealous campaign employee), but now looks like he’s jumped in the deep end with witness tampering and obstruction of justice. I hope he draws judge cranky in his trial but he’ll probably plead out with a resignation and no jail time.

And this is what passes for competent Representation?
And Scotty sits on the Appropriations Committee, TG that he’s not on the House Intelligence Committee.

What is behind all these former Navy seals taking the crooked path to elected office? Are they unable to swim in a straight line?

Yep, that sure sounds like the behavior of an innocent man to me.

Now, let me tell you about the great deal I just got on a bridge…

I’m so impressed. A real involved congressman who even conducts neighborhood patrols AND calls his constituents, personally.

That’s the “comment of the day” on this topic. It also reminds me that the current occupant of the WH isn’t the only villain in our political system right now - the GOP has been setting up for an illegal, unethical “President Trump” for a long time.

Trump is much more the symptom, the end state, than a cause. He is the natural conclusion of the right-wing war on fact, a war we have been fighting for at least two decades, and maybe more like four.

Are there any Republicans who can manage vocabulary beyond the level of, say, the third grade? Taylor tweeted that the “onerous” is on the VA SBE to verify signatures.

Memo to Taylor: the word you wanted was “onus” you illiterate asshole!
