Trump Official At Center Of Census Imbroglio Departs Justice Department | Talking Points Memo

The Justice Department said there is “no basis” for “speculation” that Gore relied on the Hofeller ghost-written draft and denied claims that he was misleading in his testimony.

So the DoJ’s Inspector General combed through all of Gore’s communications? They looked at his official email, his personal email, his personal email that he hides from his wife, his gov’t phone, his personal phone, his burner phone that he uses to conduct GOP shenanigans, and the burner phone his wife doesn’t know about-more shenanigans.
So who specifically in the DoJ vouched for his ethicacy?

This administration has an astounding number of “coincidental” departures.

Slightly OT but it looks like McCabe has the receipts:

Smell ya later, dude.

I’m sure he’ll pop up again in some new diabolical scheme or dumpster fire somewhere in the future. These fuckers never just go away and die. You need a silver stake to kill off these bloodsucking creeps for that to happen.

I hope that no one will hire him…but there is always someone that will hire these pieces of scum

Not to be picky but how long does TPM get for a lunch break? Two and half hours for lunch during the workweek is a nice perk if you can get it. Wish I had a job like that when I was still working.

OK, I’ll shut up.

Trump gets away with hiring illegals. People ought to be screaming about that.

For years, their ranks have included workers who entered the United States illegally, according to two former members of the crew. Another employee, still with the company, said that remains true today.

President Trump “doesn’t want undocumented people in the country,” said one worker, Jorge Castro, a 55-year-old immigrant from Ecuador without legal status who left the company in April after nine years. “But at his properties, he still has them.”

Castro said he worked on seven Trump properties, most recently Trump’s golf club in Northern Virginia. He provided The Washington Post with several years of his pay stubs from Trump’s construction company, Mobile Payroll Construction LLC, as well as photos of him and his colleagues on Trump courses and text messages he exchanged with his boss, including one in January dispatching him to “Bedminster,” Trump’s New Jersey golf course.

This may be one of my favorite OT posts ever.

(Cue schadenfreudish laughter.)

Yeah, isn’t there just a quality of doom about it? McCabe obviously did what Comey did—he knew what he was dealing with and kept notes so he’d be ready. Cops know how to deal with criminals. They do it for a living. Heh. Stay tuned, sports fans.

There does seem to be slow spell most days. Maybe they go out for tee martoonies every day. I feel like I need to just reading this stuff.

that the departure “had nothing to do with the census litigation.”

Had nothing to do with letting the King down.

Another slot for him in the Trump Campaign. Maybe he has extra tricks up his sleeve to require that every city where Trump has a rally has to pay him advance

I wouldn’t doubt it. I am only disappointed that McCabe didn’t legally go after Trump.
Even stuff as simple as the FBI acknowledged a full day of termination leave for McCabe on his last day March 16- Sessions announced after the fact that he fired McCabe at 10 pm Mar 16.

McCabe is a smart guy. The nitwits thought they could get away with it. Not so, I hope.
