#2  How does Rod Rosenstein have this authority? He should be in jail as well
Posted by: Frank G || 12/16/2018 8:00 Comments || Top||

#3  #2. I am way past putting them in jail.

#4  That alone says where Rosestein is with the deep state.

Hang 'em all.

#5  The GOP is OK with this or Rosey would have been shitcanned and replaced a long time ago.

So be sure to support your local GOPe drone,

It's important.

#6  All the more reason to call them to testify. Under subpoena
Posted by: Injun Bucket8891 || 12/16/2018 13:29 Comments || Top||

#7  Call Both of them to testify under subpoena at the same time in the same place. Under oath. Send the Federal Marshals, and the Marines from the garrison at 8th & I if necessary, to enforce their appearance.

#8  Let the Judge call them both to review what he said given the claim the dog ate their homework they lost the original 302. The judge has the discretion to jug one or both for up to 179 days for contempt.

#9  Joe can’t testify until he is done typing up the ‘original’ 302.

At Last, Congress Overhauls Its Awful Sexual Harassment Policy
[Huffpoo] WASHINGTON ― Congress passed a bill Thursday to overhaul its embarrassingly bad policy on sexual harassment, an update that will finally require lawmakers to pay out of pocket ― instead of spending your money ― when they get sued by staff for groping or other lewd behavior.

It took months of negotiations, but House and Senate lawmakers struck a deal Wednesday on what, exactly, the new Capitol Hill policy should look like. The final bill sailed through the House and Senate on Thursday by unanimous consent. All that’s left now is for President Donald Trump to sign it. (The irony is not lost on this reporter.)

The new law "will focus on protecting victims, strengthening transparency, holding Members accountable for their personal conduct, and improving the adjudication process," reads a statement by Reps. Gregg Harper (R-Miss.), Robert Brady (D-Pa.), Bradley Byrne (R-Ala.) and Jackie Speier (D-Calif.), top House negotiators on the bill.

Lawmakers agreed to get rid of some outdated provisions. Under the current law, which has been in place since 1995, Capitol Hill staffers who claim they’ve been harassed or discriminated against have to undergo counseling, mandatory arbitration and a 30-day "cooling off" period before going to court. They won’t have to do any of that anymore.

#1  ...It can't have been that easy. There's a catch somewhere - damned if I can figure out what it is, but it's there.
