Coss Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 "The issue of whether a sitting US president can be indicted is unsettled. Those who know Mueller believe that he's less likely to pursue a prosecution than to send Trump's case to the US Congress to consider impeachment. Trump loyalists have already started fighting that battle, with bitter pre-emptive counterattacks issuing from top congressional Republicans like US House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, and even Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Charles Grassley. They've made it clear that they're more interested in discrediting Mueller than in learning about what happened between the Trump camp and Russia. Trump, if caged, will lash out furiously. Maybe he'd try to fire Mueller and issue pardons for his family and friends. He'd rally his hardcore supporters, urging them to protest against the threat to him. Thus it's impossible to envision a peaceful resolution like the one that occurred in 1974, when Nixon was forced out to avoid impeachment. "At the end of the day, Richard Nixon was found to have a sense of shame," Watergate prosecutor Richard Ben-Veniste notes. "It remains to be seen whether anything can shame Donald Trump.""

cavanami Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 This is long overdue.... Pentagon To Undergo First Ever Audit Amid Missing Trillions ‘Starting an audit is a matter of driving change inside a bureaucracy that may resist it,’ says former DHS official After decades of waste, overpayments, trillions of missing or improperly accounted for dollars, and most recently losing track of 44,000 US soldiers, the Pentagon is about to undergo its first audit in history conducted by 2,400 auditors from independent public accounting firms to conduct reviews across the Army, Navy, Air Force and more - followed by annual audits going forward. The announcement follows a May commitment by Pentagon comptroller David Norquist, who previously served as the CFO at the Department of Homeland Security when the agency performed its audit. "Starting an audit is a matter of driving change inside a bureaucracy that may resist it," Norquist told members of the Armed Services Committee at the time when pressed over whether or not he could get the job done at the DHS. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-12-10/pentagon-undergo-first-ever-audit-after-decades-sloppy-accounting-and-missing-trilli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixon hadn't planned Watergate, and the break in made no sense, since he was knocking the socks off McGovern in the polls. Even the Hollywood "Rat Pack" turned out to campaign for him. (Nixon carried every state but Massachusetts. McGovern couldn't even carry his own state.) But Nixon lied to protect "his people". Then he lied and lied again, instead of dropping them. Bill Clinton had no such loyalty and would have said, "I had nothing to do with it. Throw the book at them!" Different times and different people. Trump would just point and say ... "You're fired."

Coss Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 White House: Trump's immigration policies could have prevented New York attack The White House on Monday said President Donald Trump’s immigration policies against so-called chain migration could have prevented a suspected terror attack in New York City, blaming Democrats in Congress for blocking his plans. https://www.politico.com/story/2017/12/11/white-house-trump-immigration-prevented-new-york-attack-290499 What next?

Coss Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 And Democrats are to blame for letting in Germans anyway. And Hillary let in so many Germans, unbelievable, the biggest German migration in history. Just proves that decision to move Embassy to Jerusalem is the best, the most popular decision ever! Every one is very happy, all the Jews are saying Merry Xmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 So the women who accuse Trump of being a pervy,sexist/harrassing grope artist, are now redoubling their efforts on the televisual extravaganza. Sarah Huckery Sanders has said, that these allegations are historical, and that Trump has been elected to the President's office, since then, so the people have had their say. Is that a finding of not guilty?, Oh wait it's not an investigation or a court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An act to provide for the relocation of the United States Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and for other purposes. The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 is a public law of the United States passed by the 104th Congress on October 23, 1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
