He expected a different answer.

I'm not sure he did.

Sometimes I am ashamed that people require pristine characters as a believable platform to accuse others. Harkens back to "what was she wearing (to provoke the attack), or the accuser has a prior record, so disregard... If we wait for anyone from the WH with a Lilly-White reputation to reveal all t...

I think there is at least a chance that she signed an NDA with the campaign, "Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.", but did not sign the NDA that Kelly offered her. Just a guess... (Did she actually work in the campaign?) Would an NDA with the campaign cover her time in the White House also? I thin...

I know of an attorney experienced in this sort of thing.

it has baffled me since day 1 he hasn't inserted himself yet.

She may be too smart to hire him.

Her best bet is probably to ignore the arbitration demand and force them to sue to compel arbitration. That will give them the opportunity to argue that the arbitration clause is unenforceable as a matter of public policy.

Or have a significant enough swing in domestic politics to ratify the relevant existing treaties. I can not see any political swing catastrophic enough to do something like that. Sovereign nations do not hand over their citizens to such courts unless they have either lost a war or collapsed and hav...

I'll believe anything Omarosa says, as soon as she releases the actual tapes that prove it.

You're pretty stupid, aren't you? We don't have to lose, or even have, a war to finally come to our senses and then bring people to justice. Ahm.. if we are talking about bringing americans up on charges of warcrimes in an international court, yes, the US would have to lose a war. Or have a signifi...

OD, we don't disagree that much. I expected her to come across as clueless and I didn't see that. Does she have an agenda? Sure. She sees Kelly as the bad guy because he booted her out. I just hope she has lots of recordings. :dance: So do I. Because it requires recordings to make anyone involved i...

Sure, but I for one would like to know how many anti-Hillary texts were sent by other FBI agents.

I bet the number is far from zero.

And that too. Also.

And if the anti-Hillary texts were being sent on government phones, there should be appropriate discipline.

When I had a government job that included a government phone, they were very clear that the consequences for deliberate phone misuse included termination, especially if the misuse involved conduct that was shady in an of itself. (There were a bunch of rules we had to acknowledge and at least one tra...

Not sure where I stand in this one. On the one hand, it's probably a politically-motivated firing, and that's bad. On the other hand, using government-owned electronic devices to exchange political texts with ones lover isn't exactly the height of good judgment, and consequences were probably in ord...

I can't see it going to court either.

But I also don't see the limitation you're referring to.

Created at the direction of the President or under the control of, might be the salient bits. Here's the bit I was looking at: The term “Presidential records” means documentary materials, or any reasonably seg­regable portion thereof, created or received by the President, the President’s immediate ...

My first reaction is that it's a bullshit take. But my second reaction is that it's probably going to be a good idea to look at the definition of Presidential Records. BRB... Whadda ya know - I think he's right. Not going to cut-and-paste all the definitions over here, but based on the definitional ...

FWIW, I went to law school with Ing's wife. He's a good guy, and I consider him a friend.

It's a reasonable choice, IMO. Given that commercial flights between the cities have a gate-to-gate schedule of under an hour, the flight time for a supersonic fighter doing an intercept in the air is likely to be substantially shorter. (GG is the expert; I'm not going to opine on precise times.) An...

I saw it over at Quatloos.

And, yes, I'm still here.

No.

When the hell are the idiots hanging out with him going to get bored and go home?

Depends on how desperately boring their lives are at home.

No chance. They're too focused on purity, and lack the insight to notice that they've just cut off their own nose to spite their face.

The district is R +11; has elected 1 Democrat since mid-1930s.

That it's this close is amazing. And, whoever wins, this race gets re-run in 3 months anyway.

So? I don’t think he was charged with that, was he? Nope. I suppose it might be relevant to show that Manafort was so hard up for a loan from Federal Savings Bank that he was trying to curry favor, but I don't think it rates the "BOOM." Little of what the Krassenstein brothers write does, IMO.

BREAKING From the Manafort Trial Just now: Prosecutors reveal email sent from Manafort to Gates: "We need to discuss Steve Calk for Sec of Army." Calk wrote a loan to Manafort. Manafort emailed Gates, who was on Trump's transition team to get Calk a job in exchange. BOOM! So? I don’t think he was c...

I'm still not completely convinced that Q isn't the new nom de plume of Squeeky Fromme girl reporter.

That might very well be the case. It would amuse me more than it would surprise me.

I kinda want it to be Biden.
