Comey announced yesterday that he had a secret twitter account.

Gizmodo then reverse-engineered his poo poo, plus information from his family and likely found the account.

Canadian, conservative. Served in the W Bush White House as a speechwriter, now considered a heretic for being anti-trump and being pro-socialized healthcare. Was a member of the American Enterprise Institute, a Republican think tank, until they purged him in 2010 for being unclean about Obamacare.

This is not true?

If you break laws that are governable under the UCMJ regardless of whether you are on duty or not, they can punish you. Its just a matter of whether or not what he did was a violation of a UCMJ code/law.

See Article 2, UCMJ.
He's a reservist, so only when he's on active duty or inactive duty training.

Sanford lied to his wife, children and citizens, used their tax money to fly to South America and slept with his down under girlfriend for like three months. And he got elected. So what the christ does Trump think he's gonna be able to do

The story is a thing of beauty. It was only like a week though

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporary_disappearance_of_Mark_Sanford

quote:

From June 18 until June 24, 2009, Republican South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford's whereabouts were unknown and there was media coverage of what was described as his disappearance. Subsequently the Governor reappeared and admitted that he had been in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a woman with whom he was having an extramarital affair. He stated that in 2001 he met and became friends with this woman and that they started having a sexual relationship in 2008. His wife, Jenny Sanford became aware of the relationship in January 2009, and it was later revealed that two weeks prior to June 24 Sanford and his wife had begun a trial separation. The woman was later identified as Maria Belén Chapur, an Argentine journalist.
http://www.politico.com/story/2009/06/sanford-was-in-south-america-024131

quote:

“I don’t know how this thing got blown out of proportion,” the governor told The State newspaper of Columbia, S.C., after he landed at the Atlanta airport Wednesday morning.

I would kill to find out who had what dirt on Jim DeMint that he just walked away from a US Senate seat and presidential frontrunner status to fall off the face of the earth. That was effectively a lifetime appointment, the last incumbent senator from SC to not be reelected was in 1931.

Even straight up kidfucking would probably have been survivable for him.

I doubt very few people are going to be sentenced for anything. Just having public testimony destroying corrupt politicians careers will be enough for me. Who said that Flynn flipping will redeem him again?
