(TPM’s comment editor keeps making a hash of the cut-n-paste from Wikimedia Commons, so I had to do some manual HTML fixing, sorry about the churn.)
Also:
“Naw, I wouldn’t call it a chewing out. We had a lively discussion, and Gen. Patton did all the talking.”
I think Patton tried to get Mauldin fired from the Stars and Stripes on more than one occasion, and at least once, it went all the way up to Eisenhower. (Ike, to his credit, basically said, “the men like him, and he stays.”)
I would say that if the text messages on these two mook’s phone were saved from 2020 through to J4th, but not those afterwards than something ain’t kosher in DHS.
On the June 23, 2022, at House Select Hearing with the witnesses former Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, former Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, and former Assistant Attorney General Steven A, Engel, Rep. Liz Cheney told us that Ken Klulowski was brought into the DOJ by Ken Cuccinelli to help Jeffrey Clark. She also told us that while working at the DOJ Klulowski helped John Eastman by writing a letter to Georgia regarding the fake electors.
Before coming to the DOJ Mr. Klulowski was Senior Counsel and Director for Strategic Affairs, First Liberty Institute and he was known as the lawyer defending clients who sought to deny business services to LGBTQ customers. However he is known for his work on the GLAAD Accountability Project. I believe he was put in the DOJ to get as much information as he can about certain things because the Southern Poverty Law Center has the GLAAD Accountability Project listed as a hate group. If you go to GLAAD Accountability Project’s webpage you will find it an interesting gathering of the nation’s who’s who of those who belong to the worst pile of shit you will ever see.
It looks like the DOJ needs HAZMAT to help clean up some messes.
So… you know… when people who’ve been briefed on the consequences of participation in obstruction of justice go ahead and commit obstruction of justice, you can, in fact, just go ahead and assume that they calculated the potential cost of obstruction to be smaller than the potential cost of getting caught in the crime they are covering up.
At the risk of attracting yet another [deserved] scolding from @glowgirl, Id like to reiterate my call to just summarily execute the entire Trump [mal]Administration; it is not great stretch to conclude that they were, in fact, levying war against the United States, its people, and its Constitution. (There’s not much question that the Oat Eaters and the Pounded Bois were not in the Capitol on the 6th to hurl insults at Nancy Pelosi.)
When Benedict Arnold was leading the forces of the King against his former compatriots in Virginia, among his prisoners was a certain plucky and witty officer, who, in answer to Arnold’s question, “What will the Americans do with me if they catch me?” replied, “They will cut off the leg which was wounded when you were fighting so gloriously for the cause of liberty, and bury it with the honors of war, and hang the rest of your body on a gibbet.”
…and “a Gibbet” … is?
A gibbet is any instrument of public execution (including guillotine, executioner’s block, impalement stake, hanging gallows, or related scaffold), but gibbeting refers to the use of a gallows-type structure from which the dead or dying bodies of criminals were hanged on public display to deter other existing or potential criminals. Occasionally, the gibbet was also used as a method of execution, with the criminal being left to die of exposure, thirst and/or starvation. The term gibbet may also be used to refer to the practice of placing a criminal on display within a gibbet. This practice is also called “hanging in chains”.
Right about now it seems that this should be on the list of options for the mendacious MR.TRUMP
So-called ‘conservatives’ like to point to a rise in crime but they need look no further than themselves and the officers they promote to locate its most probable cause.
“Our government teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.” ― Louis D. Brandeis
USSS already claimed that texts aren’t covered under those rules. I don’t know about the DHS heads.
Why they didn’t just claim this right off the bat, we’ll never know. But it makes me think that they’re lying. Again.
I half expect TFG to call on thousands of his supporters to cross state lines and rob a bank, so that the DOJ gets even more bogged down.
By now, the word “mystery” ought not modify any deviant and/or malicious behavior on the part of anyone associated with the former administration. “Expectedly” might be a better choice.
