| Hillary's Headhunter: Sleazeball Ken Salazar | |
| 2016-08-18 | |
| [Michelle Malkin] The Loathsome Cowboy rides again. Ken Salazar, President Obama’s disgraced ex-interior secretary and former U.S. senator from Colorado, was named Hillary Clinton’s White House transition chair on Monday. The pick confirms that a Clinton presidency would not only be Barack Obama’s third term ideologically, but also culturally. As in the Democratic culture of corruption.
At issue: How rancher and reported Salazar business associate Tom Davis profited handsomely from the Bureau of Land Management’s Wild Horse and Burro Program. Not long after Salazar took office, Davis paid $10 each for more than 1,700 federally protected horses who roamed on public lands. He then turned around and sold them for slaughter near the Mexican border for $154,000, despite signing a contract prohibiting him from doing so. When Gazette reporter David Phillips (now at The New York Times) asked about the controversy at an Obama election night event in November 2012, Salazar snapped: "You know what, never do that. This is a -- this is the Obama -- You know what, if you do that to me again, I’m going to punch you out. OK? Don’t ever, ever, from the Gazette or anybody else do that to me again. Set me up. You know?" Caught on tape by Philipps and another witness, Knuckles Salazar issued an "apology." But neither he nor Davis, who said he had previously hauled cattle for Salazar for years, ever answered for their actions. An Inspector General determined Salazar’s department "failed to follow its own policy of limiting horse sales and ensuring that the horses sold went to good homes and were not slaughtered." No penalties, no prosecution, no nothing. Ken Salazar is a liar. He trampled the rule of law, defied court orders, and doctored scientific conclusions in the name of environmental protection. Have you forgotten? After the BP oil spill in 2010, the Obama White House imposed a radical six-month moratorium on America’s entire deepwater drilling industry. The sweeping ban -- inserted into a technical safety document in the middle of the night by Obama’s green extremists -- cost an estimated 19,000 jobs and $1.1 billion in lost wages. | |

| #4 Given as how the media seems to be working overtime to prop up the walking dead presidential candidate, methinks things are looking work for Shillary than the MSM wants to admit... |

| #2 I was hoping this sleaze ball dropped dead of a stroke. Too bad he is still kicking around. But he is in good, corrupt company with Hillary. |
