And this was all foreseeable back in 2003-2004, when Sandy Berger stole classified documents, smuggling them out in his pants then destroying them. Berger was a long-time associate of the Clintons, and the papers he stole had to do with the investigations into the 9-11 attacks. Yet another person willing to go to jail for the Clintons. Why? And yet Berger received only a light sentence. And yet no one at the FBI could make the connection between examples of delay and destruction of evidence like that, and what Hillary did a little later with her secret e-mail server.

These people are gangsters.

Glad I looked in on this thread.

Your name Yankee, has been mentioned recently.

The question was whether you were, or saw yourself as, a primary season Trump-first and only man, or whether you were not.

There is no prize for answering and no penalty for whatever the answer might be.

It was merely a question of how many, if any of NeoCon’s regular visitors, might have been ardently pro-Trump in preference to all other contenders.

[I hope this was a fair, representation of the matter.]

I know a CPA with an impressive resume longer than my arm. Her parents were aging and needed her care, so she moved to Florida near them and took a state government job. Immediately, she had a slew of ideas as to how to make things in her department more effective and efficient. Not only was she shot down by her supervisor on every one, but she quickly became a pariah around the office with everyone else.

Creativity and productivity were strictly discouraged by the workplace culture.

Accepting illegal behavior done by the powerful (and now, much richer) weakens “rule by law”.

Those unwilling to resign, so far all of them, are weasels.

If I were there, younger than 65, I’d be a weasel too–which is why I wouldn’t be there.

That is the problem, the remedy is unintended consequences.

DNW,

Is that a less bitter, shrill comment? I wait for your approval..

Please, please, please pat my squirmy puppy dog belly.

People with integrity are willing to stand for something when standing for something is hard.

The best example of this is the Saturday Night Massacre, during the Nixon Administration.

On a personal level, I remember a time when the director of my division in a large company was planning to implement a plan that was unethical. I put him in a position where he had to personally make the pitch about the new plan to our entire group. And that was when I publicly told him and my manager why it was wrong and that I, as the project leader, wouldn’t do it. One by one, the rest of team, without any prompting, agreed that they wouldn’t do it either. Sometime later, the director and that manager left the company to pursue other opportunities.

Sad, but true. Someone I’m close to was offered a position w/either the CIA or FBI, but in his association w/the government couldn’t stomach the waste of taxpayer money that he witnessed. Story-after-story. Wanted no part of it.

You are on target about the greenback. As the world’s reserve currency it is all that keeps the wolves from storming the ramparts.
