...John Conyers III, son of disgraced former Rep. John Conyers Jr., allegedly body-slammed his girlfriend and then spat on her during a domestic dispute, according to a new report.

 

Conyers Jr., who resigned on Tuesday after a flood of sexual harassment allegations against him, has said that he wants Conyers III to run for his empty seat...

I have no idea how they teach math in Oklahoma, but here's how I add this up. I think examining the integrity of our electoral process is important, and I couldn't give a shit who falls in the process as long as it sheds light on WTF is going on behind the scenes. It will cost a few $million and obviously Trump supporters don't like it because it puts their golden haired monarch in danger. 

 

Corporate tax cuts and deregulation is a failed economic strategy that's caused three recessions in the past and has pushed 90% of America's wealth up to the top 1% of the population. Trump's Christmas gift tax cuts will cost $1.5 trillion (that's 18 zeros kido) and I don't like that because it puts Social Security and Medicare (that I've fucking paid for) in danger and straps my two kids future with more than $1,000,000.00 of dept. 

 

Please fill me in on how the FBI investigation into Russia's influence in the 2016 election is opposition research. Are we saying Peter Strzok is bias and that's why Mueller gave him the boot in July, or that he's the master operative behind a fake DNC Russian conspiracy to throw the election? I don't know about you a.d. but I think all the crazy shit that went down during the 2016 election was seriously fucked up. I want to give Mueller all the latitude and resources Starr got in his investigation of White Water and Bill Clinton's sex life.

Comey, Mueller Bungled Big Anthrax Case Together

 

The third and most important factor tempering my enthusiasm for the new special prosecutor is that Comey and Mueller badly bungled the biggest case they ever handled. They botched the investigation of the 2001 anthrax letter attacks that took five lives and infected 17 other people, shut down the U.S. Capitol and Washington’s mail system, solidified the Bush administration’s antipathy for Iraq, and eventually, when the facts finally came out, made the FBI look feckless, incompetent, and easily manipulated by outside political pressure.

 

This, too, was an enormously complex case. But here are some facts: Despite the jihadist slogans accompanying the mailed anthrax, it had nothing to do with Saddam Hussein or any foreign element; the FBI ignored a 2002 tip from a scientific colleague of the actual anthrax killer, who turned out to be a Fort Detrick scientist named Bruce Edwards Ivins; the reason is that they had quickly obsessed on an innocent man named Steven Hatfill; the bureau was bullied into focusing on the government scientist by Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy (whose office, along with that of Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, was targeted by an anthrax-laced letter) and was duped into focusing on Hatfill by two sources — a conspiracy-minded college professor with a political agenda who’d never met Hatfill and by Nicholas Kristof, who put her conspiracy theories in the paper while mocking the FBI for not arresting Hatfill.

 

So what evidence did the FBI have against Hatfill? There was none, so the agency did a Hail Mary, importing two bloodhounds from California whose handlers claimed could sniff the scent of the killer on the anthrax-tainted letters. These dogs were shown to Hatfill, who promptly petted them. When the dogs responded favorably, their handlers told the FBI that they’d “alerted” on Hatfill and that he must be the killer.

 

You’d think that any good FBI agent would have kicked these quacks in the fanny and found their dogs a good home. Or at least checked news accounts of criminal cases in California where these same dogs had been used against defendants who’d been convicted — and later exonerated. As Pulitzer Prize-winning Los Angeles Times investigative reporter David Willman detailed in his authoritative book on the case, a California judge who’d tossed out a murder conviction based on these sketchy canines called the prosecution’s dog handler “as biased as any witness that this court has ever seen.”

 

Instead, Mueller, who micromanaged the anthrax case and fell in love with the dubious dog evidence, personally assured Ashcroft and presumably George W. Bush that in Steven Hatfill the bureau had its man. Comey, in turn, was asked by a skeptical Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz if Hatfill was another Richard Jewell — the security guard wrongly accused of the Atlanta Olympics bombing. Comey replied that he was “absolutely certain” they weren’t making a mistake.

 

Such certitude seems to be Comey’s default position in his professional life. Mueller didn’t exactly distinguish himself with contrition, either. In 2008, after Ivins committed suicide as he was about to be apprehended for his crimes, and the Justice Department had formally exonerated Hatfill — and paid him $5.82 million in a legal settlement — Mueller could not be bothered to walk across the street to attend the press conference announcing the case’s resolution. When reporters did ask him about it, Mueller was graceless. “I do not apologize for any aspect of the investigation,” he said, adding that it would be erroneous “to say there were mistakes.”

Scientist Is Paid Millions by U.S. in Anthrax Suit

JUNE 28, 2008

 

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department announced Friday that it would pay $4.6 million to settle a lawsuit filed by Steven J. Hatfill, a former Army biodefense researcher intensively investigated as a “person of interest” in the deadly anthrax letters of 2001.

 

The settlement, consisting of $2.825 million in cash and an annuity paying Dr. Hatfill $150,000 a year for 20 years, brings to an end a five-year legal battle that had recently threatened a reporter with large fines for declining to name sources she said she did not recall.

 

Dr. Hatfill’s lawsuit, filed in 2003, accused F.B.I. agents and Justice Department officials involved in the criminal investigation of the anthrax mailings of leaking information about him to the news media in violation of the Privacy Act. In order to prove their case, his lawyers took depositions from key F.B.I. investigators, senior officials and a number of reporters who had covered the investigation.

 

After Dr. Hatfill came under suspicion in the anthrax case in 2002, an F.B.I. surveillance team began following him everywhere, and a small motorcade sometimes trailed his car around Washington.

 

In May 2003, an F.B.I. surveillance car ran over Dr. Hatfill’s foot in Georgetown as he approached the car to take the driver’s picture. He was given a ticket for “walking to create a hazard” and was fined $5.

How were corporate tax cuts made of the rate is at 39%. Tax breaks yes, but the debt ?? Going to add another 10T over the next ten anyway , calculated. Adding 1 more isn't a problem , the idea again is to increase spending, investment and repatriation of Private money to increase revenue for paying off debt. Only hope, nothing from confused Dems.

 

Were paying for a lot of shit we will not receive.

Al Franken's selfish, damaging resignation speech

The senator squandered an opportunity to do good, and offered a master class in what not to do when accused of sexual misconduct.

 

He did not apologize. Instead, he gave advice on running for office, focused on his own struggles rather than those of survivors, and seemed to take back the apologies he had already offered. In his speech, Franken squandered an opportunity to do good, and instead offered a master class in what not to do when accused of sexual misconduct.

 

Once Franken knew he would resign, he had a choice. He could do so in a way that helped a cause he claims to care about — protecting women from men’s abuses of power — or he could preserve some of his own reputation at the cost of harming that cause. He chose the latter.

Bombshell: Roy Moore Accuser Beverly Nelson Admits She Forged Yearbook

 

“Nelson admits she did make notes to the inscription,” ABC News tells us. “But the message was all Roy Moore.”

 

“Beverly, he signed your yearbook,” ABC News reporter Tom Llamas says.

 

“He did sign it,” she replies.

 

“And you made some notes underneath.”

 

“Yes,” Nelson says.

 

And then, after a woman admits to forging a document used in a campaign to destroy the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in Alabama, ABC News quickly moves on as though it is not news of extraordinary consequence.

 

Llamas also fails to ask any follow-ups, such as “If the explanation is this simple, why wait all these weeks to offer it.” Or, “Why did you lie?”

Watch! If Moore wins in Alabama, Franken will take that as justification to retain his seat. Kinda takes the moral high ground out of the dems', "Well, at least Franken had the good grace to resign!" argument!

AMEN! That's what so cool about these sexual harassers crashing and burning! Most of 'em are career politicians! Conyers had 50+ years, Bill and Hillary each had 40 years, Anthony Weiner had a decade in office - GOD! so many long-term, career politicians who would never have retired are now being forced out by their own perversions!!! The swamp is on self-draining mode!!!
