Government Corruption
CNN's Acosta clashes with Trump's former DHS chief over election 'lies'
[THEHILL] CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
anchor Ace Newshound Jim Acosta
...CNN's showboating White House correspondent...
clashed with former acting Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf on Sunday over his claims of election fraud.

The exchange quickly became heated as Acosta pushed Wolf, who served under former President Trump, to say whether President Biden justly won the last election.

"Who won the 2020 election?" Acosta asked after Wolf expressed concern over voter fraud and irregularities.

"Obviously Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem mschine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family...
is president," the former HHS secretary responded.

"No, no, no," Acosta retorted. "Do you believe that he won that election fair and square?"

Wolf again answered the question indirectly.

"Joe Biden is president," Wolf said, adding that he didn’t have all of the evidence needed to conclude that Biden’s victory was legitimate.

Wolf cited Wisconsin’s use of drop boxes to back up his claims of fraud, noting that polling consistently shows a lack of confidence in election security among Americans.

"There are a number of irregularities, illegalities and fraud," Wolf said before Acosta interrupted.

"Not enough to alter the outcome of the election," the CNN anchor shot back.

Acota slammed Wolf, accusing him of undermining democracy and leading Americans down a "path of lies."

"It sounds like you’ve watched one too many conspiracy theories on the 2020 election," Acosta said as the segment came to a close.

#1  ...formerly the "Cable News Network", now who know what it might stand for...

We called it the 'Clinton News Network' back in the day. Perhaps that hasn't changed.

#2  Nobody knows how.much fraud and irregularity there was, Jim, you least of all.
Posted by: Bobby || 08/22/2022 7:57 Comments || Top||

#3  "Not enough to alter the outcome of the election," the CNN anchor shot back." An admission that it wasn't the cleanest, fairest, most just election in American history? Or that all elections were worse?

Either way ifs the first chip in the monolithic narrative.
Posted by: ruprecht || 08/22/2022 7:58 Comments || Top||

#4  "Not enough to alter the outcome of the election,"

That is actually quite a walk-back from the original "No evidence of widespread election fraud". NPR has been hitting the election integrity theme pretty hard lately, with frequent mentions of "Trump's Big Lie" and the phrase "election denier".

Traffic analysis would suggest they are worried about something.

#5  I prefer the Kari Lake solution to CNN appearance opportunities.

#6  A Ukrainian soldier put on trial by the Russians has a better chance of getting fair treatment than a pro-Trump Republican has on CNN.
Posted by: Matt || 08/22/2022 12:50 Comments || Top||

#7  "Widespread" fraud is a strawman. Who said 'widespread'?

Cook County (Chicago) was sufficient to put Kennedy in the White House in 1960.

#8  All the Dems really had to do in 2020 to make the steal was mail-in ballots; everything else was icing on the cake.

#9  ^^ And if they didn't quite get enough, truck in a few more after-hours.

Mar-a-Lago mess: How Merrick Garland can regain the public's trust
[The Hill] In a three-minute presser following the FBI raid on Donald Trump
...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
’s Mar-a-Lago home, Attorney General Merrick Garland cut a defiant figure, condemning critics of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI: "I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked." He then left the stage without taking questions or answering that criticism.

It was a signature moment for Garland, who often responds to controversies with belated, rote remarks. His brief comments had all of the substance of a Hallmark card that read, "Trust us, we’re the government." Yet trust has to be earned, not simply demanded.

#1  He can't. His only concern with satisfying his fellow travelers in the bubble.

#2  /\ Is this the "bubble" you are referring to P2K. I believe you may have mentioned it in a comment just yesterday.

#3  Seppuku would be a good start.

#4  Never had my trust.

#7  Full confession, then Seppuku.
Posted by: Angstrom || 08/22/2022 10:11 Comments || Top||

#8  Another vote for seppuku.
Posted by: Rob Crawford || 08/22/2022 11:12 Comments || Top||

#9  His brief comments had all of the substance of a Hallmark card

The writer gives him too much credit.

Garland and Wray need to come clean on everything. Who's pulling their strings?

#10  If he wants trust again he should review the Crossfire documents seized and arrest the perpetrators of the illegal actions by the deep state.
Posted by: airandee || 08/22/2022 11:22 Comments || Top||

#11  I was gonna say resign but seppuku is clearly the winner of this thread.
Posted by: Abu Uluque || 08/22/2022 11:46 Comments || Top||

#12  The problem is that would require that he still has a little bit of honor.
Posted by: Abu Uluque || 08/22/2022 12:03 Comments || Top||

#13  A President is the ultimate authority on document classification, so if Trump declassified all he was taking with him while he was still President then possession of classified documents could not be an issue, right? But what if Biden ‘reclassified’ them? If it was a law that changed it would not be valid, but it’s essentially an EO so. …?

#14  His only choice is self-darwination...in preference by the Brazen Bull method.
Posted by: Silentbrick || 08/22/2022 12:22 Comments || Top||

#15  The problem is that would require that he still has a little bit of honor.

That is why he wouldn't get a second to cut off his head before the pain became unbearable.
Posted by: DarthVader || 08/22/2022 12:27 Comments || Top||

#16  in preference by the Brazen Bull method.

Or the Brazilian Wax method which is reputed to be slower and much louder.

#17  Our govt is too large how about ...
president:
ministry of interior:
immigration:
law enforcement:
parks & monuments:
coast guard:


ministry of exterior
defense:
foreign ministers:

retire all gs-13 and above.
new constitution with these amendments
.freedom of association
.right to keep and bear arms
.right to equal opportunity

what say you?

#18  Long walk off short pier?

#19  Never. There is a special place in Hell for these players.

#20  If there isn't a special place I daily pray for one both in the Christian and Viking Hells. Viking as my family > 1000 years ago took care of one of Thor's holy groves.

Ex-principal gets $187K DOE gig despite 'pattern of dishonesty'
[NYPOST] A city principal convicted of car insurance fraud kept her employment with the Department of Education — and even got a fat raise — despite what school Sherlocks called her "pattern of dishonesty."

The DOE gave Oneatha Swinton, the former acting principal of Port Richmond High school in Staten Island, a sweetheart deal to stay on despite the criminal rap along with findings that she improperly funneled $100,000 in school funds to a vendor, and "failed to safeguard" 600 DOE computers, printers and laptops which vanished under her watch.

Instead of terminating Swinton, 43, as recommended by the Special Commissioner of Investigation for city schools, the DOE gave her an unspecified place in its Office of Safety and Youth Development with a $187,000 salary plus health and pension benefits — $25,000 more than she made when arrested in 2018 for insurance fraud. Officials refused to give a title or description of her new gig.

#1  She doesn't look too entitled, does she?
Posted by: Raj || 08/22/2022 8:40 Comments || Top||

#2  It would be interesting to see how she characterized her frauds on the bullets of her resume. Maybe I have been going after this employment game the wrong way.
