How to say in Latin that our Secretary of State is pompous and dishonest as it gets? Oh yea – if one says “quid pro quo” in English, it never happened. These unbelievable stupid excuses for denying what is plainly true – that Trump extorted dirt on Democrats from Ukraine by withholding military aid – is insulting as they are treating us like “chumps” to paraphrase Leon Penatta. But even more insulting is this:
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo fiercely criticized the House impeachment inquiry, saying his department is being treated unfairly as Democrats seek to remove President Donald Trump from office … “They’re not letting State Department lawyers in the room … they have not let State Department lawyers be part of these hearings,” Pompeo said. “That’s unheard of … I haven’t seen you all report that.”
First of all, we do know that the brave members who served the State Department honorably have turned down Pompeo’s lawyers in lieu of bringing their own so this last sentence of his is a lie as this fact has been reported on. Secondly, Pompeo is whining that HE is being treated unfairly. Look Pompeo is clearly a mobster style criminal – hence my reference to Al Capone. Can you imagine a grand jury investigation of a mob boss where the mob boss gets to send his own lawyer into the testimony before the grand jury? Witnesses might be reluctant to appear out of fear that the mob lawyer would tell his client who to knock off. Pompeo is all about witness intimidation as he fears the truth. And yea – I bet Pompeo and his boss (Trump) would stoop to killing anyone who dares to stand up to their treasonous crimes.
Nah, they’re cowards, they’d never give the order to have someone hit. They want to think they’re tough guys but they’re creampuffs, they’d crumble at the first sign of real danger.
Well .. it’s a strategy. Lawyer for a mob boss being probed by a grand jury doesn’t do much good by whining to the press about “They’re treating my client unfairly.” Lawyer for a president whose deeds are being considered by the House can make that argument and hope it will sway voters who will pressure Congressmen to let the guy go. Just keep shouting UNFAIR and maybe the odds will improve. Maybe some other distraction will stave off action. Maybe an election will change the makeup of the House/Jury. Maybe the courthouse will catch on fire.
We aren’t dealing with the strict letter of the law here.
