100% of the time.

After all, they already sold any honor by declaring as (r)epugliCon.

Released them to help them....

Every last cock roach motel has suddenly sprung open and every rock has been overturned, each revealing not one, but dozens of toxic snakes.....

The scale of this corruption is beyond ones imagination, and the vast number of people iinvolved is absolutely mind numbing.......

And a large segment of the American people are still unable to see beyond the end of their collective noses.......

WASF

"Drain the swamp"? And dump it onto the American people.

I go to bed dreading what will be done the next day. It is like the Chinese water torture, on gallon drips at a time......

WASF

I am stealing that one!

We have representatives who can speak for their constituents. In a republic, a rep's constituents rely on the representative to know things that the general population doesn't know, or doesn't want to know, all with the assumption that the rep will take care that they will act in a way that reflects the position of his/her constituents.

In a pure democracy, it's essential for the entire population to know about all issues and, through direct voting, approve or disapprove of actions, policies, or laws. We don't have a pure democracy. Ideally, we would all be as informed as top government officials. But we aren't, and that's why we have representatives.

It's sure exposing a large part of this country I didn't know existed. Horrified to learn it exists, but I suppose not knowing is worse in the long run. I sure AF hope some good comes of this and we put in the proper measures to keep most of this shit from happening again in the future. I'm not naive enough to think we can fix all of it for perpetuity. But as Obama said, "better is good."

we haven’t been able to achieve all we are capable of.......we had no idea of the human magnitude of pure black evil we were dealing with.....

Sounds like an STD.

Legal repercussions?

"How I cowered when confronted by Trump's screaming ridicule."

Deals with rising upwards to the level of incompetence, not sinking down to a level of deepest depravity.......

It appears tRump has assembled quite a team of similar plumbers himself and perhaps just as ruthless.

KY......... ......

of course the repuglicons have a small but very deep barrel to dig down to get the the worst of the worst.

to be just as bad AND have questionable backgrounds and history. Looking back at his history of picking associates, I think picks from a random lottery would have produced better results. I remember that W didn't do much better.

Quite indicative of a corrupt, psychopathic, criminal mind.

Reagan administration

HWBush administration

WBush administration

AND they are still all out there somewhere in the shadows of all this mess.....

Their wet dreams all coming to fruition......

He was all CYA.

briefly mentioned Rosenstein. He essentially said that it was well known that Rosenstein was a capable guy doing his job well, but Rosenstein doesn't do anything unless his ass is covered.

Wish I could remember the when, where, why of this interview. But that is the only statement he made that stuck with me all these years. I guess it was a relatable comment because during my own career I've had colleagues who were just like that. I'm sure we all have.
:hi;

Thank you. I bookmarked it.

why did I get sucked into his appearing half way decent??

Are we saying that's not the case?

Rosenstein acts like a scared little weasel that tries to stay in both lanes because he knows that Trump is a crook, but don't want Trump's vitriol aimed at him. He's anything but a loyal public servant

... I'm guessing it's plenty.

as a good guy who did some wrong, I think he is a weak guy who did some good. I don't think they needed anything to hold over him. He didn't have the courage of his convictions when it counted most.
