I called his office to enthusiastically congratulate him and urge him to keep it going!
This sounds like contempt of congress to meā¦
Surely, they knew that they were going to be asked about these conversations and they didnāt get a legal justification for not answering them? Huh??
Those two rendered themselves unemployable after we get rid of Trump.
What you feel isnāt relevant
One more time for all the diaper-filling anti-anti-Trump pundits!
@tstmauro Their legal justification is the rarely invoked āI DONāT WANNA!ā
I saw that exchange and I was very heartened that Sen. King was NOT in the mood for f*cking around.
The White House Counsel in question is a Ouija Board and a Magic 8 Ball.
āIām not sure I have a legal basis,ā
Then you need to respond. Itās pretty much that simple. āThe truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.ā
Ultimately, the refusal to answer is an answer. If there had been any way that they could have denied the allegations without running afoul of perjury or lying-to-congress liability, they would have done so. Itās like finding a guy standing over a body with a gun, and at trial they take the 5th instead of saying āI didnāt do it.ā
Watched the show. It was an Olympic stonewalling event!
King had them looking guilty and foolish. Thank you sir, for at least exposing that (for whatever reason) they are choosing to protect donnie rather than give the public the truth. F*ck them for not fulfilling their oaths. I hope they pay for it.
Might it also be that these three may be interested in any criminal charges that might be compromised by Kingās grand-standing?
One can only have great respect and admiration for Angus King, heās fearless, hence the āIā by his name!
Agreed. That was to me the highlight of the otherwise disheartening hearing.
One personās āgrand-standingā is another personās ferreting out the truth.
McCain getting Coats to say the info in the WP āis still classifiedā which I took as confirmation of the WPās contentsā¦
āI would like a legal justification for your refusal to answer,ā King said.
The honest answer?
āLoyalty to my party matters more than loyalty to my country, my oath to uphold the Constitution, the armed forces I put in harmās way by refusing to answer, the People of the United States for whom I show utter contempt by my reckless dereliction of duty, personal integrity, or any reputation that I once had but now have permanently and irrevocably trashed,ā
Angus King looks like Central Casting sent him. Not to mention the name.
