A former Commerce Department official in the Trump administration was sentenced to a five-and-a-half year prison term after pleading guilty to possession of child pornography, federal prosecutors announced last week in a court filing. Under the terms of his plea deal, Adam Hageman was also sentenced to five years of parole after release and a mandatory requirement to register as a sex offender.

Hageman was arrested in November of 2020 after he was found to be a member of an online group chat dedicated to sharing images of child sexual abuse.

The site’s name on which the discussions allegedly took place has not been publicly disclosed, but according to an affidavit filed by prosecutors, Hageman shared with members at least one video of a child being molested, claimed to have sexually abused a child as young as 15, and indicated that he wanted to sexually assault children between the ages of 12 and 16 years old. Prosecutors asserted that they found “dozens” of child sexual abuse videos on Hageman’s phone after federal authorities executed a search warrant against him.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Is Taking Steps to 'Get Ready' for a Potential 2024 Presidential Run

A 2024 presidential run could be in the works for former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

"We've got a team in Iowa, a team in New Hampshire and South Carolina. And that's not random," Pompeo, 58, said during a fundraising event in Chicago on Tuesday, Politico reported. "We are doing the things one would do to get ready."

Pompeo, who was appointed director of the CIA and, later, secretary of state under former President Donald Trump, also took a swipe at his onetime boss. "Unlike others, if I go down an escalator, no one will notice," Pompeo joked, referring to Trump's famous ride down the Trump Tower escalator after announcing he was running in 2015.

"We are trying to figure out if that is the next place for us to serve," Pompeo continued, according to Politico. "If weconclude [running for president] is, we'll go make the case to the American people of why that is. And in the end, the American people, I pray, will make a good decision about who's going to be their next leader."

Speaking of old friends, two are running against a Democrat and each other in Montana: Ryan Zinke and John Lamb.

https://dailymontanan.com/2022/09/30/zi ... ents-lies/

Thursday night, Zinke, Tranel and Libertarian John Lamb debated in front of roughly 265 people at Montana Technological University in Butte who mostly heeded the “no cheering, no jeering” rule moderators requested. Lee Enterprises and Montana Public Radio hosted the forum among the candidates running for the state’s new western district.

New book coming from Pompeo! Can't wait

This might be the most hilarious book blurb I've ever seen.

Really embarrassing
@mikepompeo
couldn't find ANYONE else to praise his book.

[Kendra]

Americans are safer because we didn’t label Saudi Arabia a pariah state. I never let the media bully me. Just b/c someone is a part-time stringer for WaPo doesn’t make their life more important than our military serving in dangerous places protecting us all. I never forgot that.

I remember when she did standup before the TV show. I saw her (Tonight show, I think) and she was funny. I enjoyed her standup comedy; hated the show.

A former campaign manager for both of Kentucky's U.S. senators, who was convicted on criminal charges in 2016 and pardoned by President Trump in late 2020, is facing more federal charges.

Jesse Benton has been indicted on multiple counts, including conspiracy to solicit and cause an illegal campaign contribution by a foreign national, the Department of Justice said in a statement Monday.

Benton is accused of "conspiring" with Roy Douglas “Doug” Wead of Florida "to solicit a political contribution from a Russian foreign national."

Wead told the foreign national he could arrange for them to meet with a 2016 presidential candidate "in exchange for a payment," the Justice Department says in court documents.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/17/politics ... index.html

A Republican strategist was sentenced Friday to 1.5 years in prison for facilitating an illegal contribution from a Russian businessman to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016.

Jessie Benton, who worked for the pro-Trump super PAC and was a longtime aide to former GOP Rep. Ron Paul, was convicted by a federal jury in November on several charges, including conspiring to solicit an illegal foreign campaign contribution.

Both the Trump campaign and Trump himself were not aware of the scheme involving Russian money, the Justice Department has said.

According to evidence presented at trial, Benton helped a Russian national secure a ticket to a Republican National Committee event in 2016, where he would have the opportunity to meet and take a picture with Trump. The Russian national paid Benton $100,000 to get the ticket, prosecutors said.

Benton created a fake invoice suggesting he had received the money for consulting services, donated $25,000 of that money under his own name to the RNC to get a ticket to the event and pocketed the remaining $75,000.

[Phoenix520]

Roseanné’s mental health issues used to be common knowledge. Every time she’d whack out in public the press would excuse her. ‘She went off her meds’. Do they mention it now?

Of course she’s MAGA. She and MTG are the queens of trailer park trash.

Foggy's talk of death metal bands made me check in on Eurosupremacist Varg Vikernes, murderer, stave church arsonist, musician, author, filmmaker, a real Renaissance man. As of 2021, and his wife are up to their seventh child. Gotta keep the race going. I didn't realize they had books on Amazon. Several. More than listed here.

Paganism Explained: Part I: Thrymskvida
Paganism Explained, Part II: Little Red Riding Hood & Jack and the Beanstalk
Paganism Explained, Part III: The Cult of Mithra & Hymiskvida
etc., etc., etc.
by Varg Vikernes

The Secret of the She-Bear: An unexpected key to understand European mythologies, traditions and tales
Marie Cachet
etc.

I won't be buying them.

[Kriselda Gray]

He has done so much to damage the names of Norse Paganism and. Heathenry. It's terrible that he's got a platform through books to spread his poison.

Whatever happened to Jedi Pauly? His website is still up with his last article being him putting someone on notice. He really was one of the weirder of the weird birthers.

[Sam the Centipede]

I had completely forgotten about Jedi Pauly (real world name Paul Guthrie), self-described as "The World's Leading Scientifically-Correct Obama Ineligibility Challenge Expert".

As you say, his last bit on the front turd of his webshite (www.jedipauly.com) appears to be a "Remove Obama Now Notice" of November 2016, so 6½ years ago. There is a sole bit of nuttiness after that in his 2019 forum archive: "Lost Science of the Elohim", some srt of mystico-mytho-theo-numero-illogical crap.

So who knows where he is now? I didn't bother trying to access his Facebook page.

Perhaps he's fumbling his way through reality? Perhaps he's incarcerated for some misguided acts brought on his anger and delusions of adequacy? Perhaps he has found the love of his life who has said "lay off that nonsense Pauly"?

I am mildly curious but it's difficult to care about such a minor racist asshole.

[Foggy]

Jedi Pauly was writing a book about how Obama was ineligible.

He suddenly realized that if Obama found out, he would have Jedi Pauly killed.

So he flew to London and tried to claim asylum as a political refugee.

They threw him in a prison for immigrants for about 6 weeks, and flew him back.

True story, broseph.

I imagine he was living cheek by jowl with more brown people (illegal immigrants to the UK) than he had ever done before, and I'm hoping the experience may have improved him in several ways.

He seems to have disappeared. Can't find any information on him anymore. I think youtube banned him as well as his youtube channel doesn't seem to exist anymore or the link I had is dead.

[Foggy]

Yeah, well ... when he flew to London and was thrown in immigration prison, nobody cared except us Obots, and we laughed.

And when he came back, nobody cared at all.

Even his wife took him back in, like nothin' happened. "Oh, hi."

So obviously, as with so many birthers, he died because he was too stupid to live.


Lotta that goin' around lately. Sad.

Jedi Paul may have been an alter ego, located this on Oldbow in the Bundy thread

Paul Guthrie - aka Jedi Pauly - flew to London and tried to get political asylum on the ground that President Obama was going to have him brutally murdered for writing a book about his tremendous wins in the two birther cases he lost. They threw him in an immigration prison for about 6 weeks and deported him back to Indiana. Lunatic.

I'd forgotten about that hilarious episode! The Brits were nonplussed by the jedi's jolly jerking.

Oh for those happy days when right-wing idiots merely provided harmless entertainment,, before they decided that violent insurrection could be better idea (it wasn't).

And the fun of the Incontinental Marshas trying to spring someone from the pokey with their fake badges. Optimistic numbskullery. Tresa Haywood or a name something like that??
