The FBI served a warrant on Senator Richard Burr tonight and seized his cell phone.
Next?

Any reason why you don't think Feinstein should be next? Or does that "D" after her name give her blanket immunity for everything?

These people, if guilty, deserve severe and public punishment. And that gal in GA who says only her advisers make moves, but they sold airline and energy stocks and bought stocks in companies that sell technology to people that work from home. Gimme a break.

I hope they are looking at all of them, I have to imagine that Trump's crew i pushing them to get the dems if there is evidence. If Feisntein and others truly are in a blind trust as claimed and there is no evidence they contact (or can't prove) they contacted the person managing the trust, then it is a harder case to prove. The Burr case seems a bit more obvious that he dumped stock, as did family members if I recall.

They prob. looked at Feinstein and the other 3 also. What exactly did Feinstein do though? The woman in GA's case can easily be defended against if there is no contact between her and her broker. Plus Burr is the only one who got secret briefings. I think Burr was one of only a few Sen. to vote on a law baring Sen? from owning or buying/selling stocks.

'What exactly did Feinstein do though?'

The same thing Burr did, probably.

"Plus Burr is the only one who got secret briefings."

Wasn't it everyone on that specific committee? And senators don't talk to each other?

The republican woman in GA, if she really had no contact and her advisers dumped airlines and energy and bought CITRIX, they are the greatest stockpickers in the history of the world. Contact is as easy to hide, as telling a staffer to tell someone else to contact the broker. Her husband is/was the president of the New York Stock Exchange.

Agreed, it's a safe bet that Trump isn't telling the DOJ to focus on Republicans.

I've told you a # of times, Feinstein didn't make the sale (1), her husband did. He (she) is one of the richest Sen. and what they sold is a tiny % of their wealth compared to Burr's sales/wealth.

Agreed, it's a safe bet that Trump isn't telling the DOJ to focus on Republicans.

Which likely means whatever they have on Burr is pretty obvious, it seems....

And it's not possible, that she told him to do it. Burr's brother sold stock, most people take that as evidence of guilt.

Martha Stewart went to prison for practically pennies. The uber wealthy can be funny with their money.

Correct, likely he was the one dumb enough to not cover his tracks.

He was also dumb (egotistical) enough to not have it in a trust which would be a good CYA....

This escalation is worth watching closely—because while Burr’s pre-pandemic stock sales look totally rotten, this investigation also raises questions about Barr targeting the one powerful Republican who authenticated the Russia investigation and is working on the final report in his committee’s 3-1/2 year long Russia probe. The goal has been to get it done and released in next couple months.

He also was seen as leading the effort to subpoena Donald Trump Jr. a year ago. Going after the mob boss’ family is a bad career move, and can get you made into a public example as a message to anyone else thinking of breaking ranks.

And it's not possible, that she told him to do it. Of course it is possible.Burr's brother sold stock, most people take that as evidence of guilt.

Martha Stewart went to prison for practically pennies. The uber wealthy can be funny with their money.

The point is that Burr sold a larger share of his holdings after receiving a confidential briefing that the other Sen. did not receive. Feinstein's husband sold the 1 stock, not her. He made his wealth founding/owning an investment company. Burr's sales all were perfect.

And that is why politicians of both parties called out Burr but not the other 3 - even while mentioning them. The others all have believable stories - burr not so much.

In 2012, Congress required lawmakers to disclose stock market activity and prohibited them from acting on intelligence they learn from their privileged positions.

The law passed the Senate 96-3.

Among the three senators to vote no was Burr.

Apparently he thinks he’s immune

Feinstien's spokesperson said that she was already questioned by the FBI. We'll see what comes of all this....

The noise you hear is a draining swamp

The noise you hear is a draining swamp

yup...

The former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine "1000%" misled Congress during last year's impeachment hearings when she claimed she didn't know much about the controversial Burisma Holdings company and the Justice Department needs to investigate, Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., says.

Zeldin reacted Thursday after documents published by Just the News earlier this week showed Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch met with a Burisma representative, received correspondence from the Ukraine gas company that hired Hunter Biden and received a detailed briefing on the matter during the 2016 election.

Yovanovitch, testifying before the House Intelligence Committee's impeachment inquiry last fall, said that she knew little about the company, especially as it pertained to the Bidens. She testified most of what she knew was from a briefing before she headed to run the U.S. embassy in Kiev and from news reports.

Here we go again but but bidens son

Still waitng on Rudy to testify.. Scott do you recall all your. Emails and their content? And if i recall Bidens son wasn't the one being investigated and still isn't.

Or is it to far from the election to start it?

Since the title is corrupt politicians and Ambassador Yovanovitch was a career employee, not a political appointee.
Pompous is a political appointee.
The House has discovered that the fired State Dept. IG had mostly completed an investigation into Mike Pompeo's widely criticized decision to skirt Congress with an emergency declaration to approve billions in arms sales to Saudi Arabia last year.

you 1st

Trump admitted today that he fired State's Inspector General because the political appointee the IG was investigating asked him to do it. That's important if you care at all about the rule of law.

The rule of law states that it was perfectly legal for Trump to fire the IG.

Did history do that to Bill Clinton?

Bet Tweety’s won’t say this, in addition to being impeached.

Clinton left office with the highest end-of-office approval rating of any U.S. president since World War II, and has continually received high scores in the historical rankings of U.S. presidents.

You said the asterisk was for getting impeached. Now you're moving the goalposts.

You are right, Clinton still is very popular. A predator of women who kicked millions off welfare to pay for capital gains tax cuts (which worked marvelously).

Pete, what would you say today, about a POTUS who was a serial abuser of women, who wanted to give capital gains tax cuts (which disproportionately benefits the wealthy), and pay for it by kicking millions of people off welfare? Would such a person be well-received today? Or would you start 10 threads a day telling us that this person was going to kill us all?

You dodged my question. Gee, I wonder why??

I'm not defending his tweets. I asked, since you defended Bill Clinton, what you would say about a modern-day POTUS who was a serial abuser of women, who had ties to admitted segregationists (I left that out last time), and who advocated cutting social services to fund capital gains tax cuts?

Any particular reason why you cannot answer that?

If your beliefs are so flimsy as to render you helpless in the face of such an obvious question, maybe it's time to question your beliefs.

Early on, Trump took one step to try and curtain the virus, he restricted travel from China. Your side was almost unanimous in saying that he over-reacted, that the virus wasn't serious enough to justify that. So please tell me, by what logic could anyone assume the death count would be lower if Hilary had won, or if Biden was running things? Safe to say that they would have done even less than Trump early on. So how would you presume we'd be better off? How many died because the Village Idiot Gov Cuomo forced nursing homes to admit covid-positive patients? Is that Trumps fault?

"Clinton ain’t Trump* not even close "

YOU, not me, said that your asterisk for Trump was due to getting impeached. Clinton was also impeached. So using your criteria (impeachment brings with it an asterisk) they are indeed the same.

OK, I asked three times, you dodged three times, we all know you aren't going to answer, we all know why.

"Democracies begin to die when a leader starts to destroy the limits on his power, and his faction decides that he is more important than the republic.

Welcome to that moment."

So the courts no longer exist to keep the POTUS in check? He did away with the courts? I slept through that I guess. Also, isn't there an election in a few months, in which if enough people agree with you, he goes bye-bye? Or did he cancel the election, and I slept through that announcement as well.

To recap...

Pete: The asterisk is for impeachment.

Jim: Clinton was also impeached, do you give Clinton an asterisk?

Pete (head on verge of exploding): Clinton was popular, and Trump is a dictator, he's taking a wrecking ball to all of our institutions, and he's mean!!!

So the asterisk has nothing whatsoever to do with impeachment, it's just because you really don't like Trump. Which of course comes as a shock to all of us.

"Trump saved America"

Who said that?

"he is not responsible for the deaths of 90,000 Americans."

He is responsible for the effectiveness of federal strategy, as governors are responsible for state strategy. The Gallup poll showed that 60% of Americans approve of the way Trump is handling this. you must have LOVED reading that poll.

"It’s the Democrats’ fault that we shut down the country; but it was Trump who saved millions by shutting down the country. "

Again, who said that?

How about responding to what we are actually saying, instead of pretending that we said crazy gibberish.

The pandemic was the worst thing that ever happened to America; but it was an over hyped scam.

The two notions, if understood as intended, are not incompatible.

He asked Dr. Brix if anything worse ever occurred in America and she said no. (They were discussing the pandemic and that it would have been worse than the 1918 flu pandemic except that we are far better able to handle it better today for various mostly technological reasons, and that we would have actually had more deaths now than during the 1918 pandemic if we had the same resources as we had then.)

And he has correctly referred to the notion that he is responsible for the outbreak here as a hoax. And there have been differing opinions, by the same "experts", at different times whether it was over hyped. Early on "experts" as well as Dems were saying that it was not as serious as what they said later on. Trump was even accused by Dems, early on, of over-reacting.

It’s the Democrats’ fault that we shut down the country; but it was Trump who saved millions by shutting down the country.
Trump* and Trump*

Again, the two notions are not incompatible. And did he say the shut down was the Dems fault, or that various Dem governors overdid it? And many have said he may well have saved millions by taking the advice of Drs. Brix and Fauci to do the quarantine.

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”

—George Orwell, 1984
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”

—George Orwell, 1984

In a more complete definition, Orwell defines doublethink as, "To know and to not know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic…" I doubt that you would consider Trump capable of being "conscious of compete truthfulness." so can't conceive of how he would even be capable of doublethink. Nor do I think that he considered his opinions to be lies, but believed they were true.

So here we are. TrumpWorld insists that we believe:

Trump saved America; but he is not responsible for the deaths of 90,000 Americans.

These are not contradictory opinions, so are not Orwellian doublethink.

The pandemic was the worst thing that ever happened to America; but it was an over hyped scam.

These are not contradictory opinions since "it" (the scam) does not refer to the pandemic, but to the Dems blaming Trump for it. So, again, it is not Orwellian doublethink.

It’s the Democrats’ fault that we shut down the country; but it was Trump who saved millions by shutting down the country.

Again, not contradictory opinions since the reference was not to the same "shut down" in each. One, the Dems "fault," I'm guessing, referred to various Dem governors' excessive enforcement. The other was Trumps call for a national quarantine at the request of Birx and Fauci.

Are you, as in part of Orwell's above definition, "conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies" when you fabricated the above "contradictions"?
