StrangeSox Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Trump Nominees Financed Senators Deciding Their Fate Five of Donald Trump’s nominees collectively donated $106,000 to senators on committees conducting their confirmation hearings http://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-nominees...fate-1484076076 Five of Mr. Trump’s nominees—Sen. Jeff Sessions, Reps. Tom Price, Mike Pompeo and Mick Mulvaney and former Sen. Dan Coats—have collectively donated about $106,000 to senators sitting on the committees conducting their confirmation hearings, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of Federal Election Commission data for the past six years. The donations were made through the lawmakers’ leadership PACs, committees created most often by current and former members of Congress to help them raise their profiles and curry favor with their colleagues. The donations aren’t without precedent—John Kerry, President Barack Obama’s nominee for secretary of state in 2013, had previously chaired the Senate committee tasked with confirming him and donated to its members. Still, they show the potential for conflicts as confirmation hearings begin. [...] “When you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do,” Mr. Trump said of politicians in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in July 2015.

Soxbadger Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Jan 10, 2017 -> 01:17 PM) I know I know the leaked emails claiming the sabotage are just complete and utter bulls***. I never claimed their was voter fraud in the primaries, voter suppression OTOH, absolutely. Also I never said Sanders should have been the nominee, I just simply said to have the primaries without shenanigans. I know the numbers back up Hillary won but to some it's a giant asterisk. As for the Trump bit, his supporters are extremely resilient if you haven't noticed; they were going to vote for him no matter what. He got his base so fired up that he could have said anything f***ed up during the campaign and the supporters would have believed he never said that. That's some grade A charisma right there. Listen the DNC can do whatever shenanigans they want as it's their party but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't clean up their act if there are more red victories in the future. They are under a giant microscope now. Care to actually provide any of these emails showing "sabotage?" I will gladly take a look, I just dont really feel like digging for the information. As for an asterisk, to some there is an asterisk to everything, I dont believe many people who are informed in the process will agree with that asterisk, but again, there are people who think that the moon landing has an asterisk, because according to them, we never actually landed there. As for the DNC, everyone always looks worse the day after they lose. 6 Months ago the narrative was that the Democrats may take the President, Senate and possibly gain in the House. Now according to some the Democratic party is in disarray. Its nothing more than knee jerk reaction. At the end of the day, the Democrats/progressive will be fine. They have time on their side. The facts are simple, the US population is growing more diverse by the day. That being said, history is filled with "2 steps forward, 1 step back" moments. The US has for the most part avoided this, but even France had Napoleon after the French Revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Donald Trump’s ‘first attempt to ignore the law’ WAPO: From what you have seen of his efforts, do you think Kushner is going to be able to get around this law? CLARK: In your question, you asked is Kushner going to be able to get around this. And I want reframe the question: Is Trump going to be able to get around this, because I see this as Trump’s first attempt to ignore the law, act in violation of the law, and he’s going to see if he can get away with it. We have a statute that names the president, that names the son-in-law relationship, that Congress identified a problem and enacted a statute prohibiting a president from hiring a son-in-law. President-elect Trump, in my view, is testing the waters to see if he can get away with violating what I would call this government ethics provision. And whether President-elect Trump gets away with this depends, it seems to me, in part on the public response as well as the congressional response.… We’ll see whether President Trump is required to follow the law or not. And so, I think this is enormously significant, because it’s an initial test of whether — we’ve seen as a candidate, Donald Trump has violated norms, and now we’re going to see whether he also plans to violate the law. .... WAPO: The Trump team and Kushner believe a 1993 D.C. Circuit Court decision gives them a way to make this happen, but you’ve noted that the section in question is “dicta.” Can you explain that? CLARK: The crux of that decision was that the presidential spouse is a de facto officer or employee for purposes of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. And then, after [Judge Laurence] Silberman said that, he added dicta where he said, "We doubt Congress intended to include the White House under the anti-nepotism statute." Judge [James L.] Buckley on the D.C. Circuit concurred in the judgment, but refused to concur in the opinion, and specifically called out that passage and objected to it. So that part of the opinion, on which I suspect the Trump advisers will be relying, is absolutely dicta, and it’s, as I said, rejected by Judge Buckley.
