This is another stupid loving angle the Republicans keep trying to get soundbites for during these open hearings, along with "I've seen no evidence"

Shouldn't every reporter out there shove a microphone is his damp gob and ask "How may times have the Russians contacted you and your campaign?"

By claims, I assume you mean tapes, with the transcript published in the WaPo last week, right?

Yep, Ryan's flak denied that the "Everybody hush about the treason" incident happened when asked. The reporter then read off of the transcript and he said it was a fake. Then the reporter mentioned that he heard the recording and the story changed from "It's a fake" to It's a joke"

Haha, get it? There's also talk that the person who recorded it was Evan McMullin.

Yesterday Clapper testified under oath that he warned the entire gang of eight (which is Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Devin Nunes, and Richard Burr on the republican side) was told last August about this and about how serious a problem was . Their public stance has been "I see no need for a special investigation at this time" So it pretty obvious they care more about money and power than they do about our country.

They were cool with it up until one conservative group got sick of him and releaked that he had that creepy poo poo in his past. Then suddenly they found their consciences. If it had just been on the downlow and only non-conservatives were calling attention to it there would have been no issues whatsoever.

They were bandwagoning behind those Bundy fucks until he started lecturing about "the negro" Sometimes there are still a limits to the madness.

I get Zuck is a terrible candidate and speaker with no experience but so was Trump and welp here we are.

After 4 years of Trump I could easily Zuck get the primary Nod if he promises the world like Trump did. Just the left version of it. So instead of banning Muslims, building walls, lock up Hillary and opening the coal mines again. Zuck promises UBI, free weed, tons of wind/solar, and locking up Trump yea he could easily get the Nod of liberals who are desperate like conservatives were in 2016.

The flaw in this reasoning though would be that maybe Zucky would be about as good a president as Trump. So even if he did win by some miracle, we'd be stuck with another idiot.

Perhaps you missed the point in my post where I said he shouldn't run, and that I think he is a bad candidate, and that I was simply responding to the point he isn't intelligent.

Intelligent - yes. Candidate - no.

If he is so intelligent, he wouldn't be thinking about running for president.

People need to just keep bringing up Ted Nugent. Like, I have never cared one bit about Kathy Griffin but every time someone brings up her name the response should be "I'll condemn her if you condemn Ted Nugent and Donald Trump for celebrating him." It won't win any debates because no one on the right will do it, but it will immediately shut down the argument.

INVESTIGATIVE SUMMARY
Findings Concerning Improper Hiring Practices, Inappropriate Interactions with Subordinates
and a Contractor, and False Statements by a Senior Executive with the
Executive Office for Immigration Review

The Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated an investigation
of a senior executive with the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) based on
information it received from DOJ that the official engaged in inappropriate hiring practices,
used non�]public information to benefit friends, solicited and accepted gifts from subordinates,
maintained inappropriate relationships with subordinates, and participated in an inappropriate
quid pro quo scheme with a contract company.

The OIG found that the executive engaged in improper hiring practices when, on seven
separate occasions, the executive disregarded merit system principles to hire close friends and
associates as DOJ employees or DOJ contract personnel over applicants with superior
qualifications for the positions. The OIG also found that the executive initiated and approved
the promotion of a friend before the individual was eligible for promotion, nominated a friend
for a monetary award without sufficient justification, and promoted a friend who lacked
qualifications for the position. The OIG further found that the executive disclosed to friends
and acquaintances non�]public information about job opportunities on a pending DOJ contract,
and advocated for increasing contractor salaries in support of friends. The OIG found that this
conduct violated federal statutes, federal regulations, and DOJ policy.

In addition, the OIG found that the executive maintained an inappropriate personal relationship
with a subordinate, and solicited and accepted gifts and donations from subordinates, in
violation of federal statutes and regulations, and DOJ policy. The OIG investigation further
concluded that the executive engaged in an inappropriate scheme with a DOJ contractor in
which the executive sought employment and training from the contractor for personal friends
in exchange for the executive actively participating in the creation and awarding of a purchase
agreement of substantial monetary value to the contractor, in violation of federal statutes and
regulations.

2
Lastly, the OIG found that the executive lacked candor and provided false statements to the
OIG in relation to the executive�fs conduct in the above�]described matters, in violation of federal
statute and regulation. Prosecution of the executive was declined.

The OIG has completed its investigation and provided this report to EOIR for appropriate action.

The OIG also referred to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel its findings that the executive
retaliated against employees who refused to hire the executive�fs friends.

No doubt. But at the same time he could answer questions as to Trumps request of him for the Russian investigation. Either way it could be a huge testimony. (It will probably be nothing major)

Kinda wish Comey would fire back some questions of his own. "Last time I sent a letter to Chaffetz about Hill's email, he leaked it. Why? Also, what the gently caress is up with Nunes trying to scuttle the house investigation." "What's the deal with airline peanuts"
