Bull Phucky
And we’ve arrived: He had a right to do it, but he didn’t.
And the lie again wrapped in truth: he didn’t tell Barr to do anything. He told someone who told someone, so no, he never talked to Barr or anyone else at the DOJ, how dare you suggest that? Even though he could have if he wanted to.
And it mattered to some of them when they found out he was.
But they’re all dead now.
(Never mind.)
ETA: Bill Cohen and Harold Froehlich?
Ahhhhhhhhhh…bless their lyin’ little hearts…oh well…everything will be ‘forgiven’ at the next prayer breakfast I’m sure.
Even worse, I checked Wikipedia. His first name is John, Hogan is his middle name. He actually preferred Hogan Gidley over John Gidley.
There was a time people joked only filthy rich folks have two last names. I guess Hogan makes him sound like he comes from old plantation money.
Well, technically, his name is John. The news used to ID him as J. Hogan Gidley, but I guess they’ve just dropped the J. So Hogan’s his middle name, which I guess he thinks makes him sound badass?
And…sniped… @thebigragu
I doubt they actually needed to say anything. Barr was on it as soon as he got done his speech about how prosecutors need to push for max sentences (seriously).
It you’d follow the other coverage that’s all over the net you’d realize that if she follows the guidlines, the repugs are going to scream bloody murder, and if she sentences him to less, the democrats are going to.
He’s put her in a terrible place. She has a lifetime appointment, but who’s going to pay for the bodyguards? The idiot MAGAts certainly include a high percentage of nutcases (100%?). Would you want to run that risk?
I’m not sure if Judge tampering is an actual crime, but that’s exactly what this was (among other crimes).
Now THAT’S a lying dog-faced pony soldier if ever I saw one.
Oh how I have longed for a return to the fine art of sharp-witted name calling that strikes lethal blows without the recipient knowing until he/she falls to the ground with the slightest look of shock on his/her face. Thank you for fulfilling my wish, fine sir!
I enjoy speculating but offhand, it being a slightly busy day, I don’t have a goddamn clue why anyone in this wide world would prefer to be called “Hogan.” He likes to shoot possums with a pistol so maybe he’s a suburban boy who aspires to be seen as a redneck. It’s beyond me, seriously.
You’d think the sumbitch would have tried to expunge his middle name on the day of his eighteenth birthday, but it never occurred to him, I’m sure.
He presumably has his parents to blame for “John” and “Hogan” (and “Gidley”). I can imagine that there could be a desire to get away from John given that statistically he would have grown up with 2-4 other Johns (using the tried and true Internet rules for statistics), but resorting to Hogan seems like an extreme measure.
A question for the ages: if his middle name had been “Matthew,” would he still have wound up as a sniveling little rat-weasel? He couldn’t do anything about the face, but trying to go through childhood (presumably) with the name Hogan couldn’t have been a treat.
The name “Matthew” usually signifies a whole bouquet of virtues but not always. Matt Gaetz comes to mind. This guy, now, he would have been a sniveling weasel if his name were Jack Armstrong, because the weasel is strong in this one.
