Trump Cesspool

Excellent piece in the NYTIMES:



"In a sane world, the fact that the president’s former lawyer produced evidence that the president knowingly and deceptively committed a federal crime — hush money payments that violated campaign finance laws — is something that even members of the president’s own party would find disquieting. But not today’s Republican Party."



_______________



"Republicans on the committee tried to destroy the credibility of his testimony, not because they believe that his testimony is false, but because they fear it is true."



_______________________




"This is what some of us who are conservatives and who have been lifelong Republicans have warned since Mr. Trump began his quest for the presidency — that his corruptions would eventually become theirs."


"It didn’t take long."

Huckabee the Scam Artist

"It is not reasonable for a campaign to raise $91,825.00 in contributions to retire a campaign debt of $35,161.09."



"It is not reasonable for a campaign to use funds raised pursuant to debt retirement to pay off political expenses which do not directly relate to debt retirement."



"In May 1995, the campaign reported receiving contributions of $34,195.17, just less than the total  1994 campaign debt of $35,195.09. The review showed that only $4,500.00 was paid in May to retire the campaign debt. The remaining expenditures went to post-election administrative costs."



"It is not reasonable for a campaign to incur large administrative costs in connection with debt retirement and pay for these costs before retiring the campaign debt."



Ethics Commission scolding Huckabee for one of his scams.....

Rightwingers Devoid of Integrity

When right wingers are characterized as unethical, unprincipled, and just damned vicious and dishonest, there is a reason.

Any lying is fine if it gets liberals out of office.
