Former Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker made an unnerving claim
No he didn’t.
He made a politically motivated statement that lacks factual grounding, puts his stupidity and toadiness on full display, and is probably one of those laughable GOP ‘talking points’ discussed on the calls between the WH and GOPers on Capitol Hill.
I’m going to be catty here and just say it: Whitaker is one of those unfortunate people who aren’t just stupid, as in really, honestly stupid, he’s so goddamn stupid that it’s stamped on his face where you can read it like a street sign. He looks like the big stupid palooka he is. But in case you ever wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, he opens his mouth and boom, sayonara doubt.
His fulsome bellicosity has all the look and feel of a MAGA hat Night time rally with AR14s Tiki torches and ‘Jews will not replace us’ chants.
Ah yes. The flavor of American fascist aesthetics for that audience of one.
If there are no sanctions for breaking a law, it’s perfectly rational for someone to assert committing (fill in the blank) isn’t illegal. Trump can’t be prosecuted for a crime, nor will the Senate remove him from office. So, whatever he does for all intents and purposes is lawful.
Oh Dirt bag Extrordinare You don’t get to comment about anything
How apropos Palooka indeed
“Whitaker convinced shooting friend in ass not crime. Friend better now. Ass not so good.” Huh huh huh huh.”
He warned that a possible future Republican majority in the House could seek “payback,”
This is laughable. What sort of information vacuum would viewers have to exist in to not know that this is exactly the slash and burn behavior House Repubs have exhibited for the past two Democratic administrations.
Oh yeah…Fox and rightwing nut job radio.
Yeah…" acting " would be the operative word here,this disingenuous dolt could never have been confirmed even in the stacked GOP whack job Senate…of course they did manage to get the equally corrupt Barr past logical deliberation so…as we are seeing…ANYTHING goes.
I disagree.
A mob boss who has cops, judges and reporters on his payroll and avoids prosecution is still breaking the law.
I believe in their little reptilian brains that they do think “abuse of power” is not a crime, but abuse of process is.
Why have we seen no leaks of exculpatory testimony from the GOP committee members? Um, because …
If you jump off a building and float to a safe landing, it’s perfectly fine to acknowledge gravity exists, while taking solace in the fact you are somehow immune to its consequences. You might even be emboldened to brag to others gravity can’t hurt you.
And if you fall off the roof of the garage and break a leg? Well, sucks to be you. You’re not special, like that other guy.
Which is why we have the problem we have. Trump is the sole owner of Trump Org., his father and mother were the partners in the business that Trump renamed Trump Org.
Are there any Republicans in today’s top echelon that were CEO’s of non family or sole proprietorship businesses?
It’s not a crime. It’s a high crime.
Which is an important point, since we always have to keep in mind that impeachment and removal from office is NOT a judicial procedure. This is not about “crimes” in the judicial sense. The impeachment process does not put Trump in jeopardy of judicial punishment, only of removal from an office of public trust. It’s more like a job performance review than a criminal trial.
If Trump is ever indicted for his many crimes, that’s when the full weight of due process and rules of evidence will apply. And that is when he will face judicial punishments like fines or imprisonment.
Because they respect the process too much to… “Bwaaahaaahaahaaa! <snort! >…”
Weew, almost carried it off…
Depends? Very large Depends.
Another inane comment from a bullet-headed, sycophantic fool. He was unqualified to be Acting AG. And he’s as disreputable as any of this gang. https://www.businessinsider.com/matthew-whitaker-controversies-mueller-probe-patent-scam-2018-11
The stupid. It burns.
