And, After All, Mussolini Made The Trains Run On Time
Senator Orin Hatch says that Trump does, too. No, I am not kidding.
When the retiring Hatch – oh, and thank God for that small favor – was asked if he thinks that Trump committed any crimes …
“No because I don’t think he was involved in crimes but even then, you know, you can make anything a crime under the current laws; if you want to you can blow it way out of proportion you can do a lot of things.”
When told the federal prosecutors were making the allegations, Hatch said: “OK but I don’t care; all I can say is he’s doing a good job as president.”
And by “good job,” I’m pretty sure Hatch means, “Hell, I’m getting richer and there are no scary black people in the White House. That’s good.”
Poor Orrin! I can only hope that when I am his age I am not in the throes of do-lally land.
1Last night on CNN John Dean made the remark that he and Hatch were about the same age and he thought Hatch might be “slipping” a little.
2Hatch needs to be reminded that when he bargains with the Devil, Old Scratch ALWAYS gets paid. McConnell needs to be refreshed on that as well.
3Linda Phipps, are you saying Old Scratch McConnell isn’t the original? Should be entertaining as the evil ship Dotard45 sinks watching him try to maintain “order” amongst his thin snacilbupeR margin.
As for ‘orrible ‘atch, he took those missing “H” to solidify his hold on hypocrisy. Only thing ‘slipping’ on him is the once very thin veneer he held over his hypocrisy.
4In a response to Hatch’s recent remarks a commenter on Morning Joe said as a Utah voter, going from Hatch to Romney was like going from a Pinto to a Ferrari.
5I just have to wonder what one of these old white dudes would say if one of their wives was caught paying money to cover up an affair. Would it be a crime, then?
6“You can make anything a crime under the current laws”? This guy spent decades helping to write the laws, and they’re pretty damn specific about what is a crime and what isn’t. Trump has spent his life flouting the law, while people like Hatch let him get away with it because they benefited in some way. Goodbye, Orrin, and good riddance.

8@Texas Trailer Park Trash: Orrin Hatch is 84; John Dean is 80. I agree with John Dean. On the other hand, Jimmy Carter is 94, and smarter than both of them put together.
9Hatch speaks Drumphenees!
10@8, Linda Phipps, you should watch the “Night Gallery” episode “Professor Peabody’s Last Lecture”.
Carl Reiner plays Professor Peabody, who reads from an ancient occult text, with the blackboard behind him listing many old names of the debbil, as a huge storm closes in. One of the students he calls on is a geeky Lovecraft. A big lightning bolt and Peabody turns to a creature.
It’s one of my favorite programs of all. Reiner plays the professor like a wound-up preacherman, it’s hysterical parody.

14 8d “Professor Peabody’s Last Lecture” Jerrold Freedman Jack Laird November 10, 1971
11A professor (Carl Reiner) gives a lecture on ancient cults that turn out to be real.
**you know, you can make anything a crime under the current laws; if you want to you can blow it way out of proportion you can do a lot of things.**
OMG, Orin seems to have gone to Trump U. where they teach specialty courses in Trump Grammar. He obviously got his PhD in the subject. And he’s putting his ejumacation to good use, too.
It’s the, “you can do a lot of things,” that puts it over the top.
