From what little reading I have done Adam Schiff (D-California)
got a mortgage on a house near DC and got it at a good rate because he said it would be his primary residence.
MEH maybe it was his rimary residence. Or maybe it was a slick lawerly definiton of “primary residence.”
+++++ VERY DIFFERENT STORY WITH FED GOVERNOR LISA COOK+++++
According to the criminal referral Dr Cook (a Berkeley educated economist who was appointed Fed Gov by Joe Biden)
bought two houses in two different states within two weeks of each other
falsified mortgage documents by claiming each of them was her “primary residence,” then
promptly placed one of them up for rent-paying tenants.
.
Does a criminal conviction exclude someone from holding office? Why can’t that question be answered without referring to Trump? Pretend he doesn’t exist.
I think clearly she can be removed for cause.
So, i her case yes.
As for Donald Trump he was impeqached twice (beat the rap both times)
He was indicted in 4 diffent states on four differnt charges .
He was excluded from the balot in three different states.
IOW a legitmate crime vs smear tactics reminscent of the worst tyrants the 20th century ever produced
In this case:
I not only think his (ahem) “conviction” is evidence that the Democrats should be kept from office,
they are the biggest reason I voted for him.
First there was Shifty, then Letitia, now we have this new dingbat thinking she is above the law. Speaking of Shifty, he’s lucky. He’s being “investigated” by republicans. The democrats operate like it’s the Salem witch trials when a republican is involved. The accusation comes in, the investigation, the indictment and the conviction all in like a week. The republicans in the other hand have two gears, first gear and neutral. And they typically spend months in neutral…talking. And talking. Then after that, a little more talking. Then they usually just quit. Anybody expect anything different this time?
This is like the third one. Luckily they’re being investigated by republicans. They do investigations like they’re constipated. It takes them a while to get finished.
Is she being investigated by republicans? They do investigations like they’re constipated. It takes them a while to get finished. She might retire before they wrap it up.
You lost that argument in November. But sure, have at it. Beat that dead horse.
Convicted of a real estate crime, by Trump haters that was invented just for Trump. Here you have three real estate crimes I (including Letetia) and you seem to be fine with that
Not what I said.
He was obviously politically persecuted.
So the comparison is apples to organges. It should be worded
"Does the existence of a McCarthy style witch hunt mean we should always and everywhere allow bon fide criminals to serve in office (inclusive of alloweing those who comit bak fraud to serve in bank policy positons on the Fed)?
Well that is the thing.
Dems engage in McCarthy stye witch hunts and ry to get things wrapped up at the outset of elections. Real justice sometimes takes longer.
