[NEWSDAY] Former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver had extramarital relationships with two women, one who lobbied him for clients with state business and the other whom he helped get a state job, prosecutors alleged in documents released Friday in federal court.
The lobbyist lobbied Silver "on a regular basis," the government claimed in a motion filed before Silver’s trial last year, and the other woman was recommended for a job "over which he exercised a particularly high level of control."
The names of the two women were redacted, but prosecutors said they had a recording of a conversation between Silver and the female lobbyist in which they discussed "both State and private business" and spoke "quietly and in whispers" about how to hide their relationship from news hounds.

Tools of the trade. Simply tools of the trade. Let's move along shall we ?
[FRONTPAGEMAG] When I studied Russian I had several instructors who had escaped the 1917 (and later) festivities. One of them walked all the way across Siberia. They experienced Revolution™ up close and personal. Occasionally we'd see the rotting eggs necessary to make the Vietnamese omelette, too.

If I knew the the trunks would hold Congress, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat before the.
That said, we have a 10% chance of a Mattis nomination, he would win the general election (Yes I did) in a landslide.

Sanders wouldn't even go after Clinton over the email scandal. He's more a Trotsky with the Revolutionary Zeal ad all but he'll be erased by those with the willingness to violence.

No he hasn't and yes he hasn't held a real job in his life and has always been a "Worker of the people" aka, government office holder sucking of the taxpayer teat.
[THEHILL] Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Walter Q. Gresham ... was booed at Thursday night’s Democratic presidential debate after she defended raising money from Wall Street by arguing that President B.O. had done the same.
"Make no mistake about it, this is not just an attack on me, it’s an attack on President B.O.," Clinton said, provoking jeers from the Brooklyn crowd.
"Let me tell you why -- you may not like it, but let me tell you why," the former first lady responded.
"President B.O. had a super-PAC," she continued. "President B.O. raised tens of millions of dollars from campaign contributors, and President B.O. was not at all influenced when he made the decision to pass and sign Dodd Frank, the toughest regulation on Wall Street in many a year."
Her primary rival, Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... , began the exchange by attacking Clinton’s judgment, saying she could not possibly be committed to overhauling the nation’s banking system because she’s influenced by tens of millions of dollars the industry has given to groups supporting her campaign.
"This is a phony attack designed to raise questions when there is not evidence or support to undergird the insinuations he’s putting forward," Clinton said.

It looks, from reading the entire article through, that this wasn't against any particular Candidate. It was a clusterfuck all through where massive mistakes were made by the Colorado GOP in reference to voting id-numbers of the delegates.
In those instances where something like that happens, it's usually the person with the Ground Game present to correct the mistakes that comes out on top. You can tell from the testimonies that the Trump delegates were left floundering with no guidance from Campaign officials.
So basically the article is confirming Trumps ground game doesn't exist, and that Party Officials screw up. The former made sure the later didn't get fixed in time for TeamTrump.
Which is a perfect example of why Manafort has been brought in to desperately put something together on-site for Trump.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
