House Republican staffers, lying, not remembering, changing their stories? Just like the House Republicans they work for! What a surprise!

The House is using the separation of powers to resist a court issued subpoena, under the same theory that allows the White House to conceal documents subpoenaed by Congress or the courts. Wait, no…

This issue will soon be moot once Senator Chuck Grassley continues his investigation of the leak and issues a subpoena from the US Senate. I’m sure he’s even more outraged now that he’s learned it was his own branch of government instead of the Executive branch that abused the public trust.

I don’t see what the problem with insider trading is especially since nearly everyone in Wall Street, the banksters, and at the major financial institutions has been doing it for a while now.

Besides, money is free speech and all that insider traders are doing is talking to each other. The R-A-T-S on the Supreme Court have decreed that money is free speech and by this argument bribery, insider trading and price fixing should be legal. These are non-violent and victimless commercial activities, no? Finally, we know that conservatives are religulous and jesus-loving and are incapable of crimes.

We now have a much clearer picture of why exactly Chairman Camp has been asking for the IRS’s head on a platter. To save his bacon.

Sophisticated smoke and mirrors game being played.

Sutter’s no dummy.
He knows he perjured himself during his initial interviews and is changing his testimony to fit the evidence already obtained.

Sutter is an ambitious,unethical, lying hypocrite!
But he’s no dummy.

Like when closeted holy-rollers loudly gay bash, I think it’s pretty clear that whenever these right-wing creeps tend to accuse others of some “sin” it’s usually something that they themselves are secretly doing.

In fact, isn’t that a Karl Rove specialty: take your weakness and accuse your opponent of it, so John Kerry, the decorated vet, has to defend his military record against draft dodger Bush Jr.

…when telling the truth, the story never changes.

Hope College

Anyone acquainted with Hope College would realize that the problem begins here. That place is a civilized version of Liberty University, a hotbed of right wing religionist dogma with all the associated trimmings. That he attended there is a strong statement about his motives, his behavior, and his attitudes, none of them particularly estimable.
