So … Parscale is “firewalled” from his wife? Sounds awkward.

Argument by stout assertion and aggrieved tone. Classic move.

There is obviously a lot of money to be made in being, or promoting, terrible people.

Sound like heaven for the wife.

The problem is where to situate a scandalous breach of PAC rules in the scandal and law-enforcement landscape. The situation is so chaotic, the collapse of House oversight so complete, that at this point there is almost nothing to be done about any of it. Once you have made it clear–as Pelosi, Neal, and Nadler have–that the breakdown in the constitutional and political order is acceptable to the so-called party of opposition, everything and anything goes. There’s almost no point in reporting this stuff.

This is one of the things Benedict Donald is dragging Andy McCabe & his wife for, so it’s gotta be a really big deal.

I wish you were right. Name me one effective and proportionate use of the House’s oversight powers. One instance when the flagrant law-breaking has met with an appropriate response. Seriously. I can’t think of one.

Citing campaign finance records, ABC News reported that the pro-Trump super PAC America First Action has paid Red State $909,871 with much of that money spent on midterm congressional candidates ahead of the 2018 midterms.

If they don’t want to concern themselves with the ethics and dubious legality of the situation, they should at least care about losing a whopping 41 House seats in 2018. Mazel tov, Mr. Parscale! Oh, and you too Mrs. Parscale. It’s so refreshing these days to see families doing things together.

What do you call a person who will do anything–including breaking the law–for money? It ain’t “mercenary.”

This guy is toast. He’s been caught stealing Trump’s money, just like Christie did for the transition.
