[Daily Caller] Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein refused to say on Wednesday whether the FBI paid for the infamous Trump dossier.
Rosenstein, who was grilled by the House Judiciary Committee, suggested that he knew the answer to the question, which was posed by Florida Rep. Ron DeSantis.
"Did the FBI pay for the dossier?" DeSantis asked.
"I’m not in a position to answer that question," Rosenstein responded.
"Do you know the answer to the question?" the Republican DeSantis followed up.
"I believe I know the answer, but the Intelligence Committee is the appropriate committee..." Rosenstein began.
DeSantis interjected to assert that the Judiciary panel has "every right to the information" about payments for the dossier.
Congressional Republicans have long questioned the Justice Department and FBI over whether payments were made for the Trump dossier, which was written by former British spy Christopher Steele and funded by the Clinton campaign and DNC.

And yet the GOP pussies refuse to demand firings and or imprisonments. An honest man would start with Comey.
Republicans are morally down to the core. Apparently obvious treason isn't a gander raising item. Calling them cowards is to kind. In my opinion the White Star Line J. Bruce Ismay might be a better comparison to these Nellies.
Much in the fashion of bending over for an up the arse celebration over Obama funding Iran. Yup funding a Nuclear jihad.
So when the deep state attacks our anti corruption President, the Repunks pretend outrage. A choice of cowardice fitting for their spineless path to hell.

Because the GOP pussies are complicit up to their eyebrows, not to mention compromised six ways to Sunday. Everyone of them has to go, burn D.C. to the ground, fire every Federal employee and start over.

There should be a law that any government official refusing to answer questions about their job be tried for it and upon conviction, forever barred from government employment, loss of all retirement pensions, priviledges, and spend no less than 10 years in prison, with voting and gun rights forever removed. I'd prefer they hang on the white house lawn like the traitors they are but I'd settle for 10 years in general population of prison.

Well, my preferred method would really be a modern take on the "Boats" form of execution, only with glass boats and shown on CNN from 8-9pm daily. With IV's and modern medicine used, I'll wager they might live more than a month before their bodies fail.

Nother nail in Mule'rs coffin. Russian Pres Puton tells ABC interviewer the Russian meddling tail is cooked up by the Trump oppositiom to undermine Trump and America. Praises 1st year in office and refers to American stock market performance as proof.

Boats?
Oh you mean SCARPING, where the criminal is force fed honey and milk and then smeared with honey and tied spread eagle in a boat. The combination of diarrhea and insects attracted to the honey lead to a very gruesome death...slow and very very painful.
I like it but I still think impaling in a public square leaves a more profound impression.

The system of checks and balances has broken down; they is no transparency and no accountability. The MSM has abdicated its role which is necessary for a free society. Justice has been made a farce. I don't think these apparatchiks appreciate the dangers they have created for themselves. They have not yet experienced the wrath of a really ticked-off populace who look around and see nothing but corruption and lies. They feel they are not respected and have lost their voice and representation.

Ah yes, scaphism.:)
Make sure their families and close associates have to watch; and then send them the bill, like the Chinese do.

It gets to point where these pencil-pushing bureaucrats are impeding justice rather than furthering justice. It is difficult to watch these hearings. Congress should have some legal recourse to be able to fulfill their Constitutional function without having to swim throuh Swamp mud. I suppose they could slash agency budgets biggly. That might stop this game-playing B.S. by agencies.
BLUF:
[Breitbart] Jones made no mention of Alabama’s white majority, whom exit polls showed voted against him by more than two to one. The same polls showed more than 95% of black Alabamians voters chose Jones.
Jones also downplayed the importance of his opponent, Roy Moore, to the race. "It’s never been about me. It’s never been about Roy Moore. It’s been about every one of you and your sons and daughters," he told supporters, thanking his own staff and volunteers.
Moore had been the central focus in most coverage of the campaign since a major scandal over his fitness began with a Washington Post piece featuring a woman claiming Moore touched her sexually when she was 14-years-old.
Jones only briefly spoke about policy, urging his soon to be U.S. Senate colleagues to reauthorize funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) before he takes his seat. Some Democrats in Congress have demanded amnesty before this can occur.
Closing with an oft-cited Martin Luther King Jr. quote about the moral arch of the universe bending towards justice, Jones told the crowd, "You helped bend that moral arc a little closer to that justice ... you sent it right through the heart of the great state of Alabama."
[The Hill] President Trump's son Eric Trump on Wednesday dismissed calls by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) for his father to step down from office in the face of sexual misconduct allegations, waving her off as a "distraction" from policy priorities.
"I remember Kirsten Gillibrand when she came into his office every three days to ask him for money and ask for major campaign contributions," Eric Trump told WABC radio's Rita Cosby. "There is no one who wanted to get into his office more than Kirsten Gillibrand."
"It’s amazing how convenient it is that he’s doing incredibly well there ‐ a minute away from finalizing, maybe the most historic tax cut to our nation and here she is," he added. "She follows the whole Schumer playbook. Again, it’s a shame, but it’s a distraction. I think we’ve gotten pretty good at tuning out distractions."
The younger Trump's comments came after the president lashed out at Gillibrand on Twitter Tuesday, calling her a "lightweight" and a "total flunky," who would "do anything for" him to donate to her campaign.

Allegations are not charges. If these ladies have anything, file a complaint and take these to court. The person who the complaint is against has the right to face his accusers in court. If you don't have anything, STFU and quit libeling the person by accusations and innuendo. Enough of these out of court lynchings without proof.
[IsraelTimes] Minnesota’s governor Mark Dayton chose Lt. Gov. Tina Smith to fill Sen. Al Franken’s seat until the November election, and she will run in that election to complete the final two years of Franken’s term, a Democratic operative told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.
Smith’s appointment was widely expected soon after Franken, under pressure over allegations of sexual misconduct, announced last week that he would step down. The appointment won’t change the balance of power in the Senate; both Franken and Smith are Democrats.
