Earlier on Tuesday, Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Pat Roberts (R-KS), who oversees USDA nominations, told Politico that his plans to hold Clovis’ confirmation hearing on Nov. 9 has not changed.
“I don’t think he’s a target of any investigation,” Roberts said.
That you know of…
I don’t think anyone else could fill Clovis’s shoes. Or pants.
You’d think a White House press secretary would be fast enough on their feet to offer an answer like “I haven’t been told otherwise”, which would be (1) true (2) fair and (3) letting somebody else step on that flaming bag of poop, but Donald Trump is definitely not sending his best.
I can’t wait for Sarah’s perp walk…
Clovis is no scientist. Disgusting that he even is considered for this position.
Putin: I like Nom.
Trump: Me too. He is in.
Sara Sanders’ hideous eye make-up on tee vee today is testament to the tackiness the current WH chooses to represent POTUS. Those eye lashes, look like tarantulas, spiders…something crawly and creepy. These people are so sloppy clueless, out there and, as I said tacky. She can’t even give a cogent answer, an auto-moton blurting out. Sean was at least colorful, well, she is too in a goolish sort of way. Being Halloween I suppose makes it is ok? I don’t know.
Willful ignorance, the complete story of the GOP.
The Trump administration is not inclined to nominate someone who is NOT under investigation so it doesn’t really matter.
They’re all gonna get called to testify and most of them will be indicted.
I am going way out on a limb and predict that Sam Clovis is about to decide he wants to spend more time with his family.
According to Politico, Clovis has already turned:
Shorter headline: “Jowly McJowly supports Jowly MacJowleyer for USDA”
There simply wasn’t a bus big enough to throw him under…
What? Do you really expect Drumpf to appoint someone for a position who is actually qualified for that position. That might mean that he or she would would know more than our dear alt-president. A low bar I grant you, hence the appointment of grossly incompetent and inexperienced nominees.
Russia and Papadopoulos aside, Clovis should be investigated for Fraud for trying to pass himself off as a scientist.
Not to the FBI he hasn’t. He’s been a cooperative witness to the Senate Intel Commitee according to Pat Robertson, the Republican Chair of the Agriculture Committee, a totally unbiased observer… /s
Comrades, nothing to see here. Situatsia normashka.
If they stood behind him, no one would be able to see them.
Full on Tammy Faye Bakker.
