Alex Griswold...
“Comes was pressed by Meghan McCain on The View this morning, who noted that J. Edgar Hoover "didn't write a tell-all when he left." bit.ly/2qGnmPd
That... would've been difficult.”
Susan Hennessey...
“In case this is too subtle, J. Edgar Hoover died in office.”
If one, on national TV, is going to try and “get” your guest with a “gotcha” question at least take the time to know what your talking about. Otherwise instead of making your guest squirm, you look stupid.

“Investigation finds that Jim Bridenstine, Trump’s pick to head NASA, led a small non-profit into big financial losses. Some of the losses involved the use of the non-profit’s resources to benefit a company Bridenstine co-owned and in which he’d invested.”
Hmm for anyone who works in the trump administration those qualifications sound about right.
The Hill..
“Senate narrowly advances Trump's NASA nominee after Flake switches vote to break a tie hill.cm/0q6YkP6”
Well of course they did.

trump.... “There is a Revolution going on in California. Soooo many Sanctuary areas want OUT of this ridiculous, crime infested & breeding concept. Jerry Brown is trying to back out of the National Guard at the Border, but the people of the State are not happy. Want Security & Safety NOW!” Listen you dumb ass the only way this country will have security and safety is when you are no longer president. Signed one of “the people” who is happy with what Governor Brown is doing in this State. Is Trump really talking about immigrants as being crime infested and breeding? He makes it sound like an infestation of cockroaches instead of human beings trying to better their lives. He is a hateful and disgusting person.

Of course they do. That is why instead of investing in fossil fuel and trashing the country and building oil crap around low income kids schools this country should invest in clean renewable energy.
Elections have consequences.

Trump campaign staffer accused of sexual harassment tapped for VA postBY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 04/18/18 02:27 PM EDT The White House has chosen a former Trump campaign staffer accused of sexual harassment as acting chief information officer at the Department of Veteran Affairs, Politico reported Wednesday. Camilo Sandoval, the former director of data operations for President Trump’s 2016 campaign, was already working in the VA and has been mentioned in several media reports for repeatedly clashing with former VA Secretary David Shulkin. ** A former Trump campaign employee, Jessica Denson, sued Sandoval for $25 million last year, alleging that he harassed, slandered and sexually discriminated against her while working on the campaign, according to Politico. Denson states in the lawsuit that Sandoval threatened to fire her and started rumors aimed at undermining her credibility, including claims that she was behind a leak of Trump’s tax data. Sandoval previously worked at the Treasury Department before moving to the VA, but was reportedly required to work in a basement office after battling career staffers.Not much more at link: thehill.com/policy/defense/383788-trump-campaign-staffer-accused-of-sexual-harassment-tapped-for-va-postJust one more honest classy dt employee....... this is becoming a lesson to repeat to our children, you are known by who you associate with.

Since when did you care about an entity being “cheated and treated so badly”? I mean you, as a businessman” have a long history of cheating and treating your vendors badly. I understood that taxes are paid on Trump products in only 2 states. And on another note, was is Secretary of State Pompeo, meeting with North Korea before he is confirmed (or even before confirmation hearings began)? There is nothing normal, ethical or appropriate about this adminsitration.

“The White House has appointed an acting VA information chief who repeatedly clashed with career staff at two agencies and was accused in a recent lawsuit of sexually harassing a fellow employee on Trump‘s presidential campaign, Politico reports.”
No surprise, fits right in.

SE Cupp: The White House response to Haley is pure sexismBy SE Cupp Updated 1:29 PM ET, Wed April 18, 2018 Editor's Note:SE Cupp is a CNN political commentator and the host of "S.E. Cupp Unfiltered," covering contemporary issues on HLN. The views expressed in this commentary are solely hers. (CNN)I'm not prone to cry sexism, and I don't do it often or lightly. But there's no other word to describe the way President Donald Trump and his advisers have treated a woman who is arguably his strongest, most competent and effective Cabinet official. Nikki Haley, US ambassador to the United Nations, was not only hung out to dry by the Trump administration, she was then dismissed and head-patted by an old boys' club Trump adviser who thought he could. And it was shameful. ** Clearly, Haley didn't invent this idea out of thin air. In fact, the White House reportedly told surrogates Saturday that sanctions were coming. "We also intend to impose specific additional sanctions against Russia to respond to Moscow's ongoing support for the Assad regime, which has enabled the regime's atrocities against the Syrian people," said a document distributed by the Republican National Committee. And the Russian newspaper Kommersant published a report that Sunday claiming Jon Huntsman Jr., the US ambassador to Russia, had also delivered a formal letter to Moscow warning of impending new US penalties over "support of the Syrian regime," according to NPR. And yet Monday came and went with no sanctions. So, when it came time for White House officials to answer for this, instead of shouldering the obvious blame for poor communication with one of Trump's top officials, or admitting they had simply changed their minds, they threw Haley under the bus. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said the administration was "considering additional sanctions on Russia," but that a decision hadn't yet been made. And two senior administration officials told CNN on Tuesday that Trump had not signed off on the new sanctions and suggested that "Haley must have walked away from a Friday White House meeting about the sanctions having misunderstood how firm the plans were." Then came Larry Kudlow, Trump's top economic adviser. "She got ahead of the curve," he insisted before offering, "She's done a great job, she's a very effective ambassador. There might have been some momentary confusion about that."** The whole spectacle was not only embarrassing for spotlighting the lack of organization among the men running Trump's bumbling White House, but for its naked attempt to deflect that by making it all Haley's fault for getting, like, confused and stuff. Fortunately, Haley was quick to put Kudlow and the rest in their place: "With all due respect, I don't get confused."It was the perfect rebuttal, only I'd have left out the respect bit. They don't deserve hers because she clearly doesn't have theirs. More at link: www.cnn.com/2018/04/18/opinions/nikki-haley-white-house-sexism-opinion-cupp/index.htmlNot my favorite person but she sure responded well! She said ‘All due respect’ they aren’t due any respect so they won’t get any. That phrase is like ‘bless your heart’ it can be taken both ways.

New York seeks authority to prosecute despite presidential pardonsBY BRETT SAMUELS - 04/18/18 04:27 PM EDT New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) on Wednesday asked state lawmakers to amend the law so that prosecutors can charge individuals who have benefitted from a presidential pardon. New York’s existing law states that if an individual pleads guilty or is convicted of a federal crime and then is pardoned by the president, prosecutors cannot bring charges for violating state laws because of a double-jeopardy rule that stipulates a person cannot be tried for the same crime twice. Schneiderman wrote to Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and leaders of the state legislature to argued that as a result of the current policy, a “strategically-timed pardon” could protect individuals who have violated New York state laws. As a result, Schneiderman is asking that state lawmakers change the New York statute so that double-jeopardy protections do not apply to cases involving presidential pardons. “New York’s statutory protections could result in the unintended and unjust consequence of insulating someone pardoned for serious federal crimes from subsequent prosecution for state crimes — even if that person was never tried or convicted in federal court, and never served a single day in federal prison,” Schneiderman wrote. More at link: thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/383811-new-york-seeks-authority-to-prosecute-despite-presidential-pardonsI did not know this. We had discussed this some time back that they could always be charged by the state? Maybe not so.......

This is the guy who was the vice-chair of dt's voter fraud commission. There were not meetings and he refused to give any info to the other members of the commission. The Sen from Maine sued for the info...... Kobach held in contempt in voter registration caseBY MAX GREENWOOD - 04/18/18 05:29 PM EDT A federal judge held Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) in contempt on Wednesday for repeatedly skirting court orders related to a blocked state voter registration law. In a court order, U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson tore into Kobach, an outspoken proponent of stricter voting laws, for failing to send postcards notifying thousands of voters of their registration. Those voters had previously been blocked from registering under a Kansas state law Kobach had pushed for because they were not able to provide proof of citizenship during registration. Robinson blocked that law during the 2016 election. ** Kobach, a candidate for Kansas governor and a former vice-chair of President Trump's voter fraud commission, is among the most ardent advocates for laws tightening voter registration processes. Opponents of such laws argue that they unnecessarily restrict people, particularly minority voters, from casting ballots, and have failed to prove that voter fraud is a widespread problem. As part of the contempt ruling, Robinson ordered Kobach to pay the attorneys fees of the plaintiff in the case, the American Civil Liberties Union. thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/383828-kobach-held-in-contempt-in-voter-registration-caseHe must be thrilled to have to pay the ACLU fees!!
