To quote Republican Dan Quayle:

"What a waste it is to lose one's mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."

This is rich
He's never been in the CIA
Yet according to EB he says he was a CIA agent
He is obviously lying yet EB absolutely trusts him
I'll leave it at that :-)

Oh and he's a 3 time loser for the House.


That is like somebody saying, "I am a traffic expert because I wrote hundreds of speeding tickets in the NSA"....

I have no clue who that guy is, but as the CIA does not serve warrants or even have law enforcement power domestically, I find that hard to believe.
.


I misspoke, he was a New York City Cop for six years and a secret service agent for 11 years. Secret Service agents are
"Authorized to execute warrants issued under the laws of the United States;". He also has tons of contacts in both the Secret Service and the FBI.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Rand Paul is trying to absurdly throw a lifesaver to Trump. He want the espionage act repealed. Unbelievable. Crazy. This ain't going nowhere. Right up there with some Republicans demanding the FBI be defunded. Insanity
https://www.yahoo.com/news/rand-paul-calls-repeal-espionage-115011151.html
"Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky called for the repeal of the Espionage Act after it was revealed that the Justice Department is investigating if former President Donald Trump potentially violated the Act."

RENO, Nev. – A Nevada homebuyer literally got more than she bargained for after ending up with an entire swath of lots in a subdivision in the west-central part of the state – while buying a single-family home.

The buyer was originally purchasing a single-family home in Sparks, Nevada, valued at $594,481. However, the Washoe County (Nevada) Assessor and Washoe County Recorder’s Office had records showing the buyer gained not just the property she was buying but also 84 extra house lots – and two additional parcels – in Toll Brothers’ Stonebrook development just northeast of Reno.

the poor guy was trying to say the United Negro College Fund motto. At the time I was pretty sure he came off a plane snockered

I think one reason these VPs wind up sounding so stupid is their job is so boring they start cocktail hour about 8 oclock in the morning

You meddle in an out of state election of course you will be investigated. Even Senators are not above the law. Kudos to the judge

Trump's own DOJ won a case against the NYtimes in 2018. It included this statement:

Quote:
"wrote the Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in its decision against the Times. "Because declassification, even by the President, must follow established procedures, that argument fails."
