NEVER MIND THAT SHIT! HERE COMES MONGO!


Unfortunately, these and numerous other avenues of inquiry were not completed during the last Congress.  Now, in the 116th Congress, the Committee’s investigation will focus principally on five interconnected lines of inquiry, beginning with these incomplete or unexamined investigative threads:

(1)    The scope and scale of the Russian government’s operations to influence the U.S. political process, and the U.S. government’s response, during and since the 2016 election;

(2)    The extent of any links and/or coordination between the Russian government, or related foreign actors, and individuals associated with Donald Trump’s campaign, transition, administration, or business interests, in furtherance of the Russian government’s interests;

(3)    Whether any foreign actor has sought to compromise or holds leverage, financial or otherwise, over Donald Trump, his family, his business, or his associates;

(4)    Whether President Trump, his family, or his associates are or were at any time at heightened risk of, or vulnerable to, foreign exploitation, inducement, manipulation, pressure, or coercion, or have sought to influence U.S. government policy in service of foreign interests; and

(5)    Whether any actors – foreign or domestic – sought or are seeking to impede, obstruct, and/or mislead authorized investigations into these matters, including those in the Congress.

So what is it  Virginia Democrats, power or principle ?

So, what is it, DimBulbWard?

Morality or silence?
Josh checks in with SILENCE.

In other words, you continue to have nothing to say about the ongoing lies of this administration about how many children they have detained and their continual excuses for why they cannot or will not follow the court's orders from 7 months ago to return them to their families.

You are a revolting amoral hypocrite.

#3 is established. Trump was repeatedly lying to Americans about not having business in Russia when Putin knew he had a $300 million tower deal in the works. That’s leverage.

And while it goes to the heart of Trump’s near treasonous actions, Josh is right, not even the worst issue in play.

Talk about projection. The GOP chose Power and Party over Principle a long time ago, even before Trump proved on an almost daily basis that Republican claims to the principles of good governance were total bad faith bullshit. Just as you do with your own silence here on the corruption of his administration and it’s rank immorality. But look at this gas price!

Ive said Northam should step down. As the allegations against Fairfax look more credible, so should he. I don’t think the AG should resign over a confession that he wore blackface once in college. But I know why this is fun for you.

I find it funny that there are just 2 on this forum that feel Northam has not shown he is a racist.  And thus should not resign

Dems seemingly want to eat their own though - should be interesting.  (Al Franken redux?)

I was the first in here to defend Northam... and then he went and fucked up an easy mea culpa.
Fairfax is in too deep and also mishandled the secondary revelation.
Herring got out front of his shit and can legitimately blame bro culture at UVA forty years ago.

The two who feel Northam hasn’t shown he is racist have firmly established they’re racist as fuck. Have a seat.

I wanted to reserve judgment on Northam as a racist, but found his handling of the situation to reveal incompetence as a politician.  The latter could be reasonable grounds to replace him that people of all partisan affiliations could agree on.

I am a little confused, though, by the logic there.  If Herring can blame bro culture, does this mean others can, too?

Yes. Blackface in undergrad forty odd years ago at UVA? Casual racism was the reality of the era.

I doubt anyone in Virginia could make an impeachment case solely on the grounds of bad crisis management. And I doubt that the House of Delegates will impeach on any grounds given the mess that would result  trying to seat the Lt. Governor.

I was more asking where one can draw a line.  40 odd years + undergrad is okay, but 30 odd years + grad school not okay?  I am not making that argument, just saying you beg that question.  I guess the main difference is Herring was upfront and out in front, where Northam got freaked and started eating his own foot.
