Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) will reportedly return campaign donations from two known associates of Rudy Giuliani who were arrested Thursday for violating campaign finance laws, Vice reports.


The House minority leader and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) both received considerable donations from Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, a pair of Ukrainian-American businessmen.

Parnas and Fruman were reportedly helping Giuliani, President Trump's personal lawyer, put pressure on Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.
The duo were arrested and indicted Wednesday on charges of funneling illegal campaign contributions into a pro-Trump super PAC.
Parnas and Fruman also gave money to other Republican candidates, including $50,000 to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
McCarthy received $2,700 directly and an additional $11,000 went to Protect the House, a joint fundraising committee of which both McCarthy and the NRCC were beneficiaries, according to the news source.
"These contributions were made ahead of events sponsored by Protect the House, a joint fundraising committee that McCarthy helped form last cycle," McCarthy spokesman Matt Spark told the Hill in a statement.
"The deception documented in today's indictment has no place in our country and as a result, McCarthy plans to donate amounts received to a local charity."
A local charity has not yet been recommended.

"One of the reasons why propaganda tries to get you to hate government is because it's the one existing institution in which people can participate to some extent and constrain tyrannical unaccountable power." Noam Chomsky.

From today's first article on NPR:

>> President Trump deputized lawyer Rudy Giuliani to run a shadow foreign policy for Ukraine outside the State Department, witnesses told Congress this past week - and the White House said people should "get over it."<<

Thank you Mick Mulvaney. You alone will convert more republicans from trumpanzees than anyone. This is the biggest, clearest push for an honest understanding of what happened yet. We are criminals. So is everyone, get over it. While I agree that the GOP has participated in trumps personal enrichment as he sold out the country for too long to ever stop and criticize him without needing to defend themselves from the same criticism, politics demands this. Mulvaney just delivered it.

Trump's the biggest traitor in American history. A walking stain. A ball full of hate, greed and ignorance. The greatest threat to our national security, and the most corrupt politician ever. He's unfit in every way. He should be impeached, removed, arrested and thrown in prison.

I watched with no surprise how the house republicans tried and failed to censure Adam Schiff. "It will be said of House Republicans, when they found they lacked the courage to confront the most dangerous and unethical president in American history, they consoled themselves by attacking those who did,"

That up the GOP complicity.

They are pathetic.

Mitch McConnell has "no recollection" of Trump's perfect phone call. This was Trump's attempt to bring McConnel into a defensive posture with him in the same way that he tarred Pence with the "perfect" phone call. Moscow Mitch went very public with his denial. Foreshadowing.

We are truly living in bizarro-world. The same Democrats who want Trump crucified for his phone call with the Ukranian President do not give a single shit that the DNC sent Alexandra Chalupa to meet with the Ukranian embassy in 2016, seeking dirt on Donald Trump. Democrats want to nail Trump to the cross because he may have done something that Biden clearly did do, based on his own admission. What about Hillary paying a law firm, who paid a Brit, who paid Russians for fairy tales about Trump? These are the reasons nobody takes Democrats seriously.

Keep not taking trump's own admission serious. Keep calling the "process" a deprivation of the rights afforded to those in criminal cases as if impeachment was the same. Never acknowledge the substance until you have to and then present a false equivalence like this.

This is what desperation looks like. Had Trump been a Democrat, this phone call wouldn't even have raised an eyebrow.

The vaguer the accusations against Trump get, the crazier his accusers have to get. Combine that with the fact that the Durham investigation is expanding its scope and has shifted to a criminal inquiry and you can expect to start hearing some shrill ass shit from the left.

No sniper, a Democrat would have been impeached for far less. An Army officer is testifying today that he was deeply concerned and reported trump's call for a foreign government to investigate a US citizen and political rival in exchange for military aid that it desperately needed (and had been approved by Congress).

That's tyrannical, and should not stand in a free society. Now you may love the sense of power that trump has given you temporarily, but you and the blind faith trumpists will be remembered badly by history.

Democrats would have been impeached for far less? Like putting guns in the hands of Mexican cartels, so they can shoot and kill American border patrol? Like weaponizing the IRS to go after your political opponents? Like covering up a terrorist attack, blaming it on a YouTube video, because it wasn't convenient for your re-election campaign? Like secretly dropping off pallets of cash to the mullahs in Iran? Okay, LOL.

I've already provided enough examples of Democrats doing the same or worse. There are more. The three Democrat Senators who sent the letter to Ukraine, threatening Ukraine, while telling them that they better help with the Mueller investigation.

I'm good with this impeachment effort. The Democrats don't have a choice at this point but to move forward with it and it will backfire on them. Democrats see the Durham investigation moving forward with criminal inquiries and they see how weak their primary candidates are, so they are desperate. They know none of those candidates can beat Trump. They can't rely on an election to remove him from office.

eh, like getting a blowjob?

Kinda not as big a deal, brah

Zzzzzzz.. Zzzzzzz.. Braaaaaapp!

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

Still about Benghazi? lol

But yes, I agree, the BJ is a much bigger issue.

-------------------------
I was right.

Nobody got impeached for getting a blowjob or for sticking cigars in a fat intern's vag aka the ole Arkansas Tobaccy Packy.

Clinton was impeached for perjuring himself and directing subordinates to perjur themselves in the sexual harassment case brought by Paula Jones. The case resulted in Clinton losing his license to practice law, Clinton paying Jones $850,000, and Clinton being impeached for perjury.

Now you have the rest of the story...

The TRUTH is that it's a partisan effort meant to overturn the 2016 presidential election.

It's been going on since the DAY Trump was elected with PROOF to back that statement up!

FACT!
