In most democracies Nunes would have resigned already, along with Mulvaney and a plethora of others caught up in this madness.

(12,712 posts)The guise of "draining the swamp" was a cover or ruse for installing a septic tank chock-full of floating crime turds, then.
I don't like the smell of that

(33,484 posts)They have Barr's Dirt Services (formerly DoJ) and the Justice Beer Bong Weenie Waver gang in the SCOTUS, they have Moscow Mitch and they have Traitor Trump. I'm sure that some believe that if they just tough it out, elections can be rigged enough to let most of the Gangsters Of Putin stay in power.
We have to chip away until their idols crumble.

(269,217 posts)and their charm always fails - just when they think they are in control.
Never rule out the impeachment of some of these judges because if ReTHUGs love ém, there are crimes and other unethical goings on to be discovered.
The system is stronger than these two bit crooks

(4,450 posts)I mean, REAL trouble. Like, resign and prepare to enter the Federal prison system trouble.
As it is, though,he's got nothing to worry about. RICO? Who cares? RICO is for Democrat chumps. Nunes is a Republican, IOKIYAR, and besides the Kavanaugh court will save his ass, or Trump will pardon him if it ever comes to that.

(165 posts)You wouldn't think that all of those conservative fellows would be so united in defense of the current resident. Makes me think the powers that be have something on every one of them. Or maybe it was just a simple kiss on the cheek. It is bizarre. We live in interesting times.
