A Girl’s Dreams Come True
I thought one of the happiest days of my life was in 2018 when Democrat Colin Allred handed a severe case of electile dysfunction to Texas Republican congressman Pistol Pete Sessions.
Pete packed his bags and moved to a new district that’s more Republican and has announced that he’s running there because the people you represent is just incidental to you being in damn congress.
Okay, here’s the smiling part.
WASHINGTON—Two Soviet-born donors to a pro-Trump fundraising committee who helped Rudy Giuliani’s efforts to investigate Democrat Joe Biden were arrested late Wednesday on criminal charges of violating campaign finance rules and are expected to appear in court on Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter.
Okay, so these evil doers formed a political PAC and threw major money around like it was beads at Mardi Gras. A couple of days ago The Daily Beast predicted what was going to happen.
The more than $3 million that the group, America First Action, spent supporting former Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) included huge ad buys that appear to have pushed the boundaries of laws restricting super PAC coordination with political campaigns, according to a Daily Beast review of federal campaign finance and television broadcasting records. And they could severely complicate the former congressman’s attempt to win back office in 2020.
If the kids at The Daily Beast have a magic ball, we need to get one because it worked like a $50 hammer on a greased nail.
So, these Giuliani puppets spent $3 million of illegal money trying to get Pete Sessions reelected and he still lost. And somebody is in handcuffs over it – somebody who’s liable to scream loud and long.
First Rick Perry gets butt deep in this Ukraine mess and now Sessions. While I could not argue that they both are useful idiots, I also believe that they both knew the real intent, other than making big money for their friends, was to hurt a leading Democrat. Hurting the Democrat was icing on the cake.
Here’s the whole indictment. Pistol Pete is referred to as Congressman 1.
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
But seriousl, my first thought when I read about the arrests was “are they coming for RudyColludy next?”
Geez, I hope so.
May they all get flushed together.
1Between the Nats winning yesterday and waking up to this news this morning, I am having too much fun!
2[Apologize for the OT, but imo this is momentous news, copying my comment on another thread; delete if you must JJ]:
Utterly damning evidence that we have a Russian puppet as President of the US. And the Republic Senators, Congresscritters, staff, officeholders everywhere, MAGAots, all of them support this traitorous son of a bitch to the max.
Three weeks ago Putin, Erdogan, and Rouhani [Iranian leader and ISIS facilitator!] held a summit in Turkey about Syria.
They specifically discussed the ‘Kurdish problem’ in northeastern Syria and the problem of American armed forces there [a very complex topic, y’all look it up]. Let that sink in…
A short time later SOBOTUS Trump gets a call from Erdogan [and perhaps Putin?] and within days orders US forces withdrawn, leaving our erstwhile Kurdish allies to be slaughtered, and effectively unleashing ISIS.

” What was Trump doing during the Trilateral Summit? He was bellowing about the drone/missile strikes on Saudi Arabia’s oil processing facility and blaming Iran for it which is all but forgotten now.
None of it makes much sense unless you accept the fact that Putin is calling the shots. Everywhere. “
3I look for it to get even crazier soon. Appears that Putin realizes liddle donnie may be in big trouble here politically and legally – so he’s pushing for more chaos quickly. You have to use your useful idiot hard, before he goes down in flames.
4Of course they are from South FloriDUH.
TPM reports they were instrumental in the pushing the Biden fiction in Ukraine and bribed a Nevada legislator to change the
5marijuana dispensary laws after they missed a key application deadline……. Didn’t Scarface warn about using your own products?
And the two Russians were arrested at the airport trying to do the bid skeedaddle. And John Dowd is their attorney – you know they’re in deep cow daps!
6Bring me the weasel net, I don’t want to get bit.
Law Professor’s Advice to House Democrats: Arrest Rudy Giuliani
“The answer is unlikely to be found in a courtroom,” writes law professor Josh Chafetz.
The White House has repeatedly refused to answer subpoenas and on Tuesday afternoon, as Common Dreams reported, announced in an eight page letter that the administration will flatly refuse to cooperate in the inquiry, a move that could set up a constitutional crisis.
“There is no legal basis for Trump’s position,” NBC analyst Katie Phang said on Twitter Tuesday. “Hard stop.”
House Democrats need to think outside the box, Chafetz argues.
“The House should instead put back on the table the option of using its sergeant-at-arms to arrest contemnors—as the person in violation of the order is called—especially when an individual, like Rudy Giuliani, is not an executive branch official,” Chaftez writes.
Chafetz acknowledges that the move was extreme, but said that the net benefits of taking things to that level would outweigh the possible negatives of such an action and allow for the House to open the door to other punitive actions seen as less radical.
“The House arresting someone would be explosive and clearly should not be undertaken lightly,” says Chafetz. “But the very explosiveness of it would be a way for the House to signal the seriousness of White House obstructionism to the public.”
