Ethics violation at the White House? No, surely not.

[Darrin]

head spent 8 years sealing off the Exec branch, including papers of past presidencies, under bogus "executive privilege" and to protect "national security".

Nary a peep from extreme partisan/petty anklebiter Yoni.

I think Cheney and George W. Bush should be in prison for mis-using military force, killing Americans and Iraqis by the thousands, and lying before Congress in the lead-up and making the decision to go to war in Iraq. Yes, Yoni isn't the most unbiased person, but a broken clock is right twice a day. Should we stall this investigation because the previous Administration was worse? How about about we debate the merits of this, comment on the merits of it, and not say "it's not so bad, and you were against it when it was your guy!"

[Darrin]

so basically this means that anyone who is employed with the fedral govt cannot offer anyone anyone a job in the exchnage for a vote. if anyone was stupid enough to do this then they deserve to lose thier job. while against the law, does this require an inquisition?

let me guess..this all obama's fault..

Rahm Emmanuel and his deputy were mentioned in that questionaire, not President Obama. Read the Politico article above--it states the scope and goals of the inquiry.

[Darrin]

Hey, I asked a question and it got answered. I seriously did not know.

As much as you fantasize about me, you should know that I actually want answers to the questions I ask. You wouldn't know that because you run away and never answer them.

Now we get to the point of whether any accusation can be proved.

Good luck with that.

They have a member of the President's party going on National Television telling them that it happened, he stated it, he stands by it, and if you listen to him, he pivots to whatever the issue he wants to talk about afterwards, dismissing it as politics as usual. This isn't Eric Massa--this is someone defending this Administration. That's very damning.

I fully expect to see some person fall on the sword for this f*ck-up of... well, not monumental proportions, but pretty decently sized.

It's bribery and this is the problem with running a national strategy as the morally-superior party. We screw up and resign. They screw up and stall and deny and parce and obfuscate until the drum-beat dies down. Who cares if they are hated after that? I hate George W. Bush to this day. He still finished out his full two-terms as President.

This isn't just about the bribery act itself; IMO.

It could also rumple some Senator's feathers; this is Executive attempting to (illegally) affect a race in the legislative - separation of powers could rile up someone like Byrd, IMO.

I'd settle for an investigation...and, a prosecution, if anyone is found to have violated the law.

Funny, I said that a lot during the 2001-2008 time period.


(but for some reason, I can't seem to remember you saying the same, wonder why that is...)

You're a smart guy, but dang man, you come into a politics forum with a very marked partisan agenda, then wonder why people don't always buy what you are selling.

[Ignignokt]

damn, Chump and DMX7 still have trace DNA in their molars from Obama since his inauguration.

I didn't think anyone would surpass boutons and Nbadan on being such obama defenders. Notice how they have been absent in this thread?

I don't defend Magic Negro. He's been extremely disappointing. Try reading, then GFY.

Boutons part corn _part deuce, it's hard to figure out your true position since your post are littered with filth only found on a Kazaa file describing the type of porn it contains.

Exactly what wasn't investigated, between 2001-2008, by Congress, special prosecutors, District Attorneys...etc?

And, what resulted from those investigations; aside from Scooter Libby getting convicted of perjury over a scandal that wasn't.

@iggy: cross-search 'sandcastle' with my username, follow the instructions you find there, inserting the words 'White House' wherever you find 'minaret' or 'ivory tower.'

Enjoy!
