After questioning Spicer, Democrats want to depose Priebus about election night activities

Source: Politico




By MATT FRIEDMAN 12/29/2017 04:40 PM EST

Fresh from interviewing former White House press secretary Sean Spicer over what he was doing on the fifth floor of Trump Tower on election night, Democrats now want to interview former Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus.

Spicer’s presence that night has caused some unease among Republicans because the expiration of a 35-year-old settlement, or consent decree, barring the RNC from engaging in ballot security operations may depend on it. The fifth floor, POLITICO has reported, was the nerve center of then-candidate Donald Trump’s poll-watching operations.

Spicer, at the time, was the RNC’s communications director and chief strategist.

The Democratic request to interview Priebus may be the last gasp in the party’s quest to keep the consent decree alive.

I thought you were a Texas gal.


The Indians used to run along side them and jump on the their backs and break the spine... of course if they missed that might piss them off a bit.

...driving into town I saw two really big badgers... I stopped the car memorized. They were either fighting or courtin'. I had never seen them in the wild before. It was like "Holy shit, Badgers." One of them stopped what it was doing and looked me straight in the eye and gave this look like "What the fuck are you staring at." Even though I was surrounded by steel, I involuntarily floored it and got the he'll outta there.

They are indeed scary looking creatures and these were "bigguns." They looked like A couple of furry short legged coffee tables.

While I wouldn't stick my hand under the front porch if one were living under it, they are for the most part docile as I came to later learn in life and mainly eat worms and grubs and such.

Happy New Year to my favorite DUer. No one makes me laugh out loud as much as you.

Best.

Walker and his minions better be careful, too. They have been angering the badger for a long time. The badger does not like the bad name they are giving his state, or the bad things they are doing to his state.

The badger may begin to fight back soon, and it won't be pretty.
