Chuck Schumer Threatens Supreme Court Justices

[Steelworth]

Well, yeah. Senator Gorsuch and Senator Kavanaugh. Duh.

 

[BLITZ]

But I remember Obama criticizing the Supremes during his first State of the Union address. Rules are not for Dems.

Didnt like thier music? Strange

 

[Tim Steelersfan]

Response from his office is utter BS, saying his comments were directed to Senate Republicans.

As Ted Cruz pointed out, his spokesperson/people should be heavily reprimanded for their terrible spin. As he said, there is no confusing this. There is no spinning this to say that he really meant that "Republicans" would face the backlash...not when Schumer specifically said YOU Gorsuch....YOU Kavanaugh. The threat was directed specifically at those two justices.

Shameful.

“I want to tell you Gorsuch. I want to tell you Kavanugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price!”

And nary a word from resident Liberals. As...expected.

Because they agree with it. Instead of condoning this threat, they'll deflect and bring up where a Republican said something threatening during the Kennedy years or some ****. They can never muster up a shred of humility, leave politics aside, and take the moral high ground. If Trump would have said this I would completely and utterly called his *** on the carpet. It's wrong on so many levels. make me sick.

 

[Super Dave]

But.....He is from Brooklyn....He is a tough guy from a tough neighborhood who uses tough language. He is misunderstood and chose the wrong words..

The noose is closing and they know it.

Hillary is only a step away

Hillary Clinton must testify in email case, judge rules

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/02/hillary-clinton-must-testify-in-email-case-judge-rules.html

but don't hold yur breath.

Good luck deposing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She’s as slippery as an eel and twice as devious. She’ll figure out a way to circumvent the truth. It’s her greatest skill set. There will be no softballs lobbed at Clinton when she is deposed by lawyers for Judicial Watch. But if past is prologue, she will be a shifty and amnesic witness. Beyond remembering her name and date of birth, Clinton will feign total memory loss akin to acute dementia.

I am absolutely shocked. I'm sure Hildabeast will say I don't recall or I have no recollection at least 50 tumes.

What gangsters that party is just overflowing with. They'd sell us all down the river in a flash and it looks like they already have.

 

[Sarge]

I don’t think she was Hillary Clinton’s spokesperson.

 

[43Hitman]

I don’t think she was Hillary Clinton’s spokesperson.

yeah I couldn't find anything about that either, although I didn't look very hard. I did find this though.

[h=1]Former State Department Employee Pleads Guilty to Conspiring with Foreign Agents[/h][h=2]Defendant Admitted Receiving Tens of Thousands of Dollars in Benefits From Two Chinese Agents in Exchange for Internal State Department Documents


[/h]Candace Marie Claiborne, a former employee of the U.S. Department of State, pleaded guilty today to a charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States, by lying to law enforcement and background investigators, and hiding her extensive contacts with, and gifts from, agents of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), in exchange for providing them with internal documents from the U.S. State Department.
The announcement was made by Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers, U.S. Attorney Jessie K. Liu of the District of Columbia, Assistant Director in Charge Nancy McNamara of the FBI’s Washington Field Office and Deputy Assistant Secretary Ricardo Colón, Domestic Operations, U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service.
The plea took place before the Honorable Randolph D. Moss of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
“Candace Marie Claiborne traded her integrity and non-public information of the United States government in exchange for cash and other gifts from foreign agents she knew worked for the Chinese intelligence service,” said Assistant Attorney General Demers. “She withheld information and lied repeatedly about these contacts. Violations of the public’s trust are an affront to our citizens and to all those who honor their oaths. With this guilty plea we are one step closer to imposing justice for these dishonorable criminal acts.”
“Candace Claiborne broke the public trust when she accepted gifts and money from foreign officials, and then lied about it to State Department background investigators,” said U.S. Attorney Liu. “The United States will continue to seek to hold accountable those who abuse their positions of trust.”
“Candace Claiborne was entrusted with Top Secret information when she purposefully misled federal investigators about her repeated interactions with foreign contacts which violated her oath of office as a State Department employee,” said Assistant Director McNamara. “The FBI will continue to investigate individuals who fail to report foreign contacts, which is a key indicator of potential insider threats posed by those in positions of public trust.”
“Our close working relationship with the FBI and the Department of Justice resulted in the conviction of Candace Claiborne who violated the public trust and damaged our national security,” said Deputy Assistant Secretary Colón. “Diplomatic Security will continue working with our law enforcement partners to vigorously defend the interests and security of the United States of America.”
According to the plea documents, Claiborne, 63, began working as an Office Management Specialist for the Department of State in 1999. She served overseas at a number of posts, including embassies and consulates in Baghdad, Iraq, Khartoum, Sudan, and Beijing and Shanghai, China. As a condition of her employment, Claiborne maintained a TOP SECRET security clearance. Claiborne also was required to report any contacts with persons suspected of affiliation with a foreign intelligence agency as well as any gifts she received from foreign sources over a certain amount.
Despite such a requirement, Claiborne failed to report repeated contacts with two agents of the People’s Republic of China Intelligence Service, even though these agents provided tens of thousands of dollars in gifts and benefits to Claiborne and her family over five years. The gifts and benefits included cash wired to Claiborne’s USAA account, Chinese New Year’s gifts, international travel and vacations, tuition at a Chinese fashion school, a fully furnished apartment, a monthly stipend and numerous cash payments. Some of these gifts and benefits were provided directly to Claiborne, while others were provided to a close family member of Claiborne’s.
In exchange for these gifts and benefits, as stated in the plea documents, Claiborne provided copies of internal documents from the State Department on topics ranging from U.S. economic strategies to visits by dignitaries between the two countries.
Claiborne noted in her journal that she could “Generate 20k in 1 year” working with one of the PRC agents. That same agent at one point tasked her with providing internal U.S. Government analyses on a U.S.-Sino Strategic Economic Dialogue that had just concluded.
Claiborne, who confided to a co-conspirator that the PRC agents were “spies,” willfully misled State Department background investigators and FBI investigators about her contacts with those agents, the plea documents state. After the State Department and FBI investigators contacted her, Claiborne also instructed her co-conspirators to delete evidence connecting her to the PRC agents. She was arrested on March 28, 2017, following a law enforcement investigation.
Judge Moss scheduled sentencing for July 9, 2019. Claiborne, of Washington, D.C., was ordered detained pending sentencing, but will self-surrender for said detention on June 5, 2019. The statutory maximum penalty for a person convicted of conspiracy to defraud the United States is five years in prison. The maximum statutory sentences are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes. The sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the court after considering the advisory Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
The FBI’s Washington Field Office is leading the investigation into this matter. The case was prosecuted by Thomas A. Gillice and investigated by John L. Hill, both Assistant U.S. Attorneys in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, and Deputy Chief Julie A. Edelstein and Trial Attorney Evan N. Turgeon of the National Security Division’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section.

there is a big difference between trump saying he doesn't like a decision and schumer telling unelected judges with a lifetime appointment that they're going to ''pay the price''.

 

[Super Dave]

They are trying to construct the old both sides do it argument, with the medias help, comparing Schumurs attacks, to Trumps comments about Ginsburg and Sotamayor which were direct rebuttals to their comments about Trump.

That is not apples to oranges, that is apples to orangutans.

The Democratic Party Is Wounded and Dangerous

Beware the wounded animal. In pain and desperation, it will do violent things. It seems to me no coincidence that Joe Biden's big win on Super Tuesday was followed by Democratic senator Chuck Schumer threatening conservative members of the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Joe Biden is hardly Lancelot to President Trump's dragon. The Democrats and the Deep State needed a first-class warrior; instead, their best option is a walking advertisement for Alzheimer's awareness. In his best days, Joe Biden was the political equivalent of Jack McCall, shooting his adversaries in the back. When he wasn't using his position of power for financial gain or stealing other people's words, he was helping his family line their own pockets. Today, he's a disoriented and stumbling shell of an unimportant political hack who looks on in confusion while his wife does his fighting for him. If you've ever wondered what happens to the shriveled soul of a lifetime liar and Democratic swindler, just cast your eyes upon Old Joe. He's a walking, talking effigy of Democratic corruption and amorality. He's what the Democratic Party usually keeps far off the main stage for the back-alley entertainment; now he's the main event, but no amount of stick-prodding by Donna Brazile or Tom Perez is going to turn Joe Biden into Fred Astaire. He's a freak-show carnival attraction at best, amazing onlookers by his ability to occasionally jumble audible words together into a sentence. The Democrats needed a man who could command a movement; all they got was a man who can barely control his own.

I am awaiting the torrent of harsh - indeed, SCALDING - criticism and backlash from Tibs, Trog, etc. Hoo-boy, it's going to be nasty.

Just you wait.

Still waiting.......................................................................................

 

[Tim Steelersfan]

Still waiting.......................................................................................

...and keep on waiting. When a Denver city councilwoman suggested people infected with COVID-19 go to Trump rallies and infect other Americans, the little Liberal response we got was simply whataboutism.
