TAPPER: If Obama pressured a foreign leader to look into Don Jr, would you not find that inappropriate?

MNUCHIN: What I find inappropriate is Biden's son doing business in Ukraine

T: So it's okay for Don Jr & Ivanka but not for Biden?

M: I really don't want to go into details

[elleng]

1. No 'details,' PLEASE!

2. Different rules for them.

[LiberalLovinLug]

18. You know that is what they are thinking

I wish one of them would just come out and admit it.

[brush]

3. They all got the repug talking points memo and will be all over...

the weekend news shows spewing them. The Biden son story was debunked back in May but the repugs will continue to try to turn a trump scandal into a Biden scandal.

trump is a traitor and they're all complicit which makes them traitors as well.

16. They got the talking points but some didn't have time for rehearsal before they hit the talk shows.

5. FFS Mnuchin...

Really? REALLY???

[malaise]

6. Fuck Jake Tapper

Biden's son has done not one thing like the Con's children. Fuck this shit.
The only issue here is that a Whistleblower's report ha been blocked by the President and his Justice Department illegally. Tell Tapper to deal with that and cut the crap.

10. Mnuchin tied to Jeffrey Epstein

Steven Mnuchin’s Mysterious Link to Creepy Epstein Model Scout

The Treasury secretary’s name shows up on official records for a company formed in the 1980s by Jeffrey Epstein’s close friend, the model scout Jean-Luc Brunel.

In the late 1980s—before he was a member of Donald Trump’s Cabinet, or even a high-rolling hedge-fund manager—Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin served in an official capacity for a business run by one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most infamous associates.

In official records, Mnuchin is listed as the official state point of contact for Next Management Corporation, a company formed in 1988 by modeling-industry insiders Jean-Luc Brunel and Arnaud Brunel. At the time, Jean-Luc Brunel had just been the subject of a 60 Minutes documentary accusing him of drugging and raping at least three models. Later, he would be accused by two women of supplying girls to Epstein to be sexually abused. (Brunel has denied the allegations.)

Records accessed by The Daily Beast list Mnuchin as the New York Department of State process for Next Management Corporation. According to department officials, the DOS process is the person who files a company’s registration papers and receives lawsuits and other official documents on their behalf—usually a lawyer or some other legal representative.

Snip...

Mnuchin’s office did confirm that he was longtime friends with Faith Kates, the owner of the Next modeling agency. The Brunel brothers co-founded the Next agency with Kates in 1989, and their company, Next Management Corp., owned a 25 percent stake in the agency for several years. The address listed under Mnuchin’s name in the state department records is the first address for Kates’ company, Next Management Company.

11. We know...

NUCH.

[Evolve Dammit]

13. Hypocritical jackass. Trumps appointments have all been the antithesis of each agency's purpose.

All of them, and by design and malice of intent. Just like the packing of the courts. Total authoritarian power grab. And no accountability. Wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross, just as Sinclair Lewis predicted. This will not end well. Hope I'm wrong.

14. It's okay if you're a Republican-ism strikes again.

15. Details are where the truth is

Let's get the details.
