Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) demanded that the Justice Department investigate acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell over his undisclosed foreign consulting business in a letter on Wednesday.
Barr to Schumer: “No”
Fingers in ears, we can’t hear you.
This is a really dumb comment, but I have to make it.
Schumer needs to invest in either eye surgery or bifocals (maybe trifocals). Looking over the top of his glasses just looks weird, maybe elitist.
OK, not really a comment on someone’s looks but sort of close. I am mercifully done.
As far as actually vetting Trump’s new golden boy, not going to happen unless the Republicans demand it - so not going to happen.
He concluded the letter by adding that “any illegal activity would obviously disqualify [Grenell] from serving as Director of National Intelligence or in any other position of public trust.”
Schumer better be careful. Trump might appoint Brittany from Mrs. Bardwick’s Home-Ec class as acting head of DNI.
No problem with Grenell.
He is about his Father’s (Trump) will so it would be mean to hold him back.
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
Obviously “little” doesn’t apply to our man Barr, but hey, I didn’t write the poem.
NONE of WHAt cryin’ lyin’ SCHumer says WOULD happen. Putin TOLD truMP so.
So, Schumer demands a probe. What happens if one doesn’t occur? I know that it’s just a word that headline writers like to use (Trump demands that SC Justices recuse themselves, for example) but it’s interesting to me that we so often see it used in situations where the person demanding really doesn’t have the power to make it happen. We know that Schumer doesn’t have the power to make this happen, and Trump has no power over the SC Justices. It’s really a ploy to create a public issue of something. I realize that you couldn’t put that in a headline, but it’s annoying just the same. (And don’t get me started on “vows” as in “Schumer vows to…” It’s pretty clear that vows, oaths, and other forms of promises mean nothing to people in DC, so it;s galling to see it as a descriptor.)
Did Coulter just make an “inverse endorsement” of Warren?
he may be subject to potential civil and criminal liability as well as vulnerable to blackmail
Isn’t that the theme of this administration?
No, Chuck, we didn’t say you’re “important”, we said you’re “impotent”. (you can stop with the hollow demands anytime now)
Trump Regime Hiring Process and Policies:
Ace loyalty test!
Ace lying test!
Appoint Criminals/Corrupt Trumpbots!
BTW, if Flynn was indicted for NOT registering as FARA, will Grenell be indicted too now that the AG is NOT the Racist-Sessions but the Criminal-Coverup-Barr?
Barr says ok, and then opens investigation into Josh Kovensky…
Barr to Schumer: “Nein.”
That Kovensky guy –I question his loyalty.
How does he know all this stuff about the Ukraine connections… He’s probably parnas’ contact.
You can actually get progressive reading glasses for under $100. That was the big bonus from cataract surgery – I was paying big bucks for my glasses but now I’m 20/20 for distance, so I can actually afford multiple pairs. Readingglasses.com is da bomb.
Or some 21-year old skinhead that catches his eye at CPAC. He apparently likes that kinda thing.
