George Mason and Original Intent

 

 Every fact bearing upon the character and service of the statesmen whose genius created a model form of human government should receive a warm greeting from those who are proud of the growth, progress, and prosperity of the republic. The harmonious working of the component parts which enter into the life of the country is to-day the result of the intelligent labors of a small group of men over a hundred years ago. Like the rays of the sun which give light to the world, a government which proves capable of maintaining the purpose for which it was established, and protects the liberties of its citizens, should be hailed and imitated by mankind in every clime.

Giuliani: Cohen 'lies to fit the situation he's in'

 

Rudy Giuliani on Sunday blasted Michael Cohen as "pathetic" and a habitual liar after the longtime Trump associate said he violated campaign finance laws at President Trump's direction.

 

"The man is pathetic... He’s a lawyer. He’s the guy you depend on to determine whether or not you should do it this or way or that way," Giuliani said on ABC's "This Week."

Giluiani, who represents Trump in the Russia investigation, said that Cohen had previously indicated on a number of documented occasions that he acted on his own in paying off women during the 2016 election and was reimbursed by the president. He argued that Cohen lacks credibility because he secretly taped conversations and because of his changing explanations.

The Perfectly Legal Corruption No One Cares About

 

The buzz this week in the news was all about corruption. OK, it was about one very specific type of corruption – the President paying women to not go public with allegations of affairs they say happened 12 years ago. But this is Washington, DC, sex scandals are only the tip of the corruption iceberg. Only, unlike anything involving Donald Trump, most of them are perfectly legal and the media has little to no interest in reporting on them.

I don’t know what Trump did 12 years ago, he wasn’t President at the time so I don’t care. I also don’t care if he paid women to keep quiet either because he’d had affairs with them or because it was easier just to throw some money around to make them go away and avoid the hassle. (I covered the reasons why in Thursday’s column here.) I’m not married to him, nor am I responsible for his choices or for those making the allegations.

Corrupt Deep State Players in Obama’s FBI and DOJ Worked Overtime and Even Sundays to Setup and Frame the Incoming Trump Administration

 

Normally when salaried employees work overtime and on Sundays to get their job done they would be considered super achievers. But not so with the Deep State FBI and DOJ – their overtime efforts were all in an effort to overthrow the incoming Trump Administration.

 

The Deep State actors in the attempt to overthrow the Trump Administration were corrupt and criminal but they weren’t lazy. Before President-elect Trump’s Inauguration, these corrupt employees of the Obama Administration even worked overtime and on the weekends to usurp the will of the American people.
