-Lurid Crime Tales-
Why Democrats fear voter fraud investigations
[WASHINGTONTIMES] As President Trump’s Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity met on Tuesday in New Hampshire to discuss voter fraud, the usual liberal suspects cried wolf.

During last year’s election, the president voiced what we know ‐ that voter fraud exists. The only question is to what degree, and that’s the mission of the commission.

For anyone who dismisses concerns about voter fraud, the unhinged reaction by the left at investigating it should, at the very least, make a logical person wonder what they’re so concerned about.

After all, if you believe the issue is false, or at the most an irrelevant factor in end results, you should welcome confirmation of that fact. Unless, of course, one fears the actual outcome may prove how voter fraud impacts local and state races to the point of shifting the balance of power in Washington, D.C.

Kris Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state and vice chairman of the president's commission, has already caused quite the stir. In a Breitbart article, Mr. Kobach revealed that out-of-state voters may have changed not only the outcome of the New Hampshire U.S. Senate race, but also could have impacted who won the state’s presidential contest.

Mr. Kobach’s assertion is quite simple and demands an investigation, which is exactly what the commission will do. He noted that New Hampshire is a state with same-day voter registration, which eliminates the ability to determine the eligibility of those voters. He said that last year there were 6,540 same-day registrants with out-of-state driver’s licenses.

The Dems are not concerned about actual voter fraud and its effects, they are worried about voter fraud investigations.

#5  Both parties have a great deal to lose. Any serious investigation will result in a loss in public confidence in the system.

Lawyers plea to keep ‘weak’ and ‘sick’ Carlos Danger out of jail
[NYPOST] Anthony Carlos Danger Weiner
...aka Hot Dog Tony, the remarkably offensive sex maniac six-term New York congressman who resigned in 2011, then decided everybody had forgotten by 2013, when he decided to run for mayor of New York City...
’s lawyers cast him as a "weak man" in a "self-destructive spiral" when he exchanged "sexually explicit" messages with a teenage girl, who they described as "profit seeking," according to a new court filing.

A sentencing memorandum filed late Wednesday hopes to keep the disgraced congressman out jail, claiming he was "the depths of an uncontrollable sickness" in 2016 when the underaged sext session took place.

"This crime is a product of a sickness," the memo read. "No one can dispute that Anthony’s operatic self-destruction, of which the instant case has been but the final act, was born of deep sickness."

#2  Alexander Litvinenko disease ?
Posted by: Besoeker || 09/15/2017 6:53 Comments || Top||

#3  The lawyers are blaming the victim? That is why lawyers are disliked. Come to think of it, lawyers occupy the halls of power and their likability ratings are in single digits.

Did the police and Feds ever release anything about Carlos Danger's computer "insurance file." Could be he is suffering from Alexander Litvinenko disease.

#4  Carlos Danger's kind of "weak" and "sick" is exactly what jails are built for. To keep these kinds of folks from harming the rest of civilized society.

#5  Weiner’s Lawyers Say Teen Sexting Partner Wanted to Influence Election

One excuse for the Hildabeast that even she wouldn't touch.

#6  The late Alexander Litvinenko's case officer was a man named, yes, very good guess.... Christopher Steele. According to the BBC, "the handler" visited him in the hospital, where he would have seen Litvinenko in agony.

Dreadfully bad cricket at MI6, permitting one's source to be terminated on the order of Vlad Putin. Additional motive was certainly available.

Dick Morris and Eileen McGann spell it out in 'Rogue Spooks - The Intelligence War on Donald Trump.'

Obama’s Top Campaign Ad Firm Got Nearly $60M In Federal Contracts
[DAILYCALLER] Former President Barack Obama
Jedi mind meld...
’s presidential campaign advertising agency received nearly $60 million in federal contracts after he took office, according to an analysis by The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group.

The gravy train for the Washington, D.C.-based agency, GMMB, hasn’t slowed since President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s inauguration, the analysis found. The liberal Democratic communications powerhouse was awarded nearly $15 million in a new contract in June, after Trump entered the Oval Office.

GMMB received a total of $58.4 million in federal contracts from 2009 to 2017, according to USASpending, which tracks federal spending through contracts, grants, loans and other forms. GMMB’s annual revenue is an estimated $32.6 million, according to D&B Hoovers, a private business research and rating firm.

Trump says immigration deal must include wall
[IsraelTimes] President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
says that, "ultimately," funding for a border wall with Mexico must be part of any immigration deal. But he says that funding can come at a later date.

Trump tells news hounds in Florida that: "We have to have an understanding that, whether it’s in the budget or some other vehicle, in a fairly short period of time, the wall will be funded."

He says, "Otherwise we’re not doing anything."

Trump and Democratic leaders talked Wednesday night over dinner about what to do with the hundreds of thousands of young immigrants colonists brought to the country illegally as children.

Democrats Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace...
and Chuck Schumer
Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower. Senate minority leader as of 2017.
announced they’d reached an agreement with Trump that does not include wall funding. But the White House says that’s premature.
So much for the fuss about President Trump's betrayal.

#1  Ann Coulter and the legions of doubting Thomas' and never Trumper's should simply stuff it and move on.

#2  Hope he knows what he's doing. Difficult to trust the likes of Schumer and Pelosi.

#3  You're going to round up and deport everyone who's here illegally around the same time the 'other team' is able to round up 300 million guns in private hands.

First deal with those who aren't suppose to have guns already - ie felons, which is also a start to dealing with the illegals who are convicted felons.

And, yes, I don't trust scorpions regardless of what they say.

He does. It's that his base doesn't know what he's doing.
