Trump Activist Charged with Securities Fraud
Remember when the rumor was floated that Robert Mueller was going to be swept up in a sex scandal? Remember when it went nowhere? Remember when rumors floated about Pete Buttigieg that also died on the vine? Meet Jacob Wohl, a young smartass from California, cut from the same cloth as James O’Keefe, another young smartass who’s become known for botched stings and false reporting on Democratic politicians.
If it’s even possible, Wohl is worse than O’Keefe (or at least more criminal). He has partnered with a shadowy 53 year old political operative named Jack Burkman whose checkered past goes all the way back to the Clinton impeachment. He claims that Don McGahn, Trump’s former WH counsel who spent 30 hours with Mueller, introduced Burkman to Wohl. McGahn told the Washington Post he’s never met him OR Wohl. Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s on staff advisor liar, warned the Post to watch out for Burkman.
Like all dirty tricksters, truth doesn’t matter to Wohl and Burkman, so they have been cooking up all kinds of fake scandals to attack Trump enemies, but they’ve all been botched, including doing a “press conference” on the fake Mueller scandal with Burkman’s fly unzipped. LOL.
And it gets better – Wohl, who started his career as a securities salesman, has been trailed by financial scandals and investigations the last several years. On Wednesday, he was arraigned on felony securities fraud for selling a fake real estate fund. The charges stem from an investigation of the fund from 2016 leading to the charge this week.
The lesson keeps repeating itself. Dirty tricksters like Wohl and O’Keefe base their entire existence on lies for political gain. Those lies often land them in scandal at minimum, and sometimes criminal charges. Amazing that many on the side that claims morals and family values have devolved into supporting lies and criminality in their tribe. Worse, there are some who are neck deep in it. It’s a head shaker.

1It’s almost as if there isn’t an honest Repuglican anywhere. On second thought…..
2Of course, of course.
3“devolved”???? It has ever been thus. Remember the first ‘family values’ candidate was Ronald Reagan who left his first wife because his mistress (Nancy Davis) was preggers. Family values, indeed.
4The boy is a few cards short of a deck, bless his heart.

I hate to dredge up ancient history, but you should read up on the campaign and administration of Warren G. Harding a century ago. The RNC had to buy up love letters he’d written to at least a dozen women (pre-email) and send one ex-lover on a world cruise. His mistress and their daughter moved to DC after he won. Then the corruption began, at a level trump would envy if he ever heard about it. They’ve been preaching morals and acting like Roman emperors for a long time.
6Trump’s Use of Pentagon Cash to Prop Up Scottish Resort Latest Example of Why He ‘Must Be Impeached’: AOC
Politico details how the House Oversight Committee is investigating why a military flight to and from Kuwait stopped at the resort—and how that incident is part of a broader pattern of military spending in and around the Scottish resort.
The inquiry is part of a broader, previously unreported probe into U.S. military expenditures at and around the Trump property in Scotland.
According to a letter the panel sent to the Pentagon in June, the military has spent $11 million on fuel at the Prestwick Airport—the closest airport to Trump Turnberry—since October 2017, fuel that would be cheaper if purchased at a U.S. military base. The letter also cites a Guardian report that the airport provided cut-rate rooms and free rounds of golf at Turnberry for U.S. military members.
Taken together, the incidents raise the possibility that the military has helped keep Trump’s Turnberry resort afloat—the property lost $4.5 million in 2017, but revenue went up $3 million in 2018.

7Pick something from the vast choice of high crimes and misdemeanors buffet and GO FOR IT you gutless House members.
8Quite appropriate that this story followed the Paxton posting. If there was a list of scandalous and illegal activities by the GOP types, it would take whole mega roll of toilet paper!
9Well Hallelujah Dead Dick Nixon!
I don’t care if this folds up like an upper berth on the Silver Streak. Pelosi, Schemer, Hoyer and the other corporate moderates must have run out of Depends this weekend.

With a majority of House Democrats now supporting an impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump, the House Judiciary Committee is expected to vote on Wednesday on a resolution that would establish parameters and procedures for future hearings.
According to Politico, the coming resolution was discussed by committee Democrats during a Friday conference call, and a draft is expected to be released on Monday.
CNN also reported that the resolution will cover how Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler will conduct the possible hearings and how the panel might deal with secret grand jury information and closed door sessions.
The number of House Democrats calling for an impeachment investigation has grown to 134, a majority, with most putting aside whether or not the move is politically advantageous.

10When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do
Fate is kind
She brings to those to love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Like a bolt out of the blue
11Fate steps in and sees you through
When you wish upon a star
Your dreams come true.
As you say, neck deep. So they’d better not shake their heads too hard or they’re likely to get some of that swamp Trump is draining right into his cabinet in their mouths.
12Along with their feet.

Well those hearings had better be public!
Dick Nixon was reelected in a landslide AFTER the House began investigations. But they were held behind closed doors and, even though the WaPo was diligently reporting on them, no one in the press and certainly among the public was paying attention.
It was after the PUBLIC hearings began that people began to sit up and take notice and it was only after the people began demanding that the Senate do its job that Nixon saw sense and resigned rather than wait for the axe to fall.
Trump won’t resign, of course. Because he believes he’s infallible and his base will never desert him. And he’s probably right about his base, at least.
But even Mitch McConnell will act once the pressure is on — because he likes his cushy job far more than he likes Trump. Or anyone else on the planet, ftm.
