What If Comey Was Fired Because Of This?

Suppose, during the fall of 2016, before the election, Donald Trump's campaign offered Jim Comey, our former FBI director, a gratuity in exchange for publicly reopening the investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton's emails on her private server? What if Comey, during a moment of weakness, accepted this bribe, thinking the investigation would not go any further than any of the numerous previous investigations of the same matter? Then, after another investigation leading to no actual wrongdoing or crime on Secretary Clinton's part, was threatened by Trump's goons, and by Rudy Giuliani, to "earn" the bribe he had taken? Could this be the reason he made the announcement on October 27 that arguably threw the election?

What if the "payment" was not only to throw the election, but to actually find or manufacture false evidence against Secretary Clinton? Could that be the real reason Donald Trump decided to tell Jim Comey, via an announcement on national television, that he was fired?

It's possible.

County Attorney In Kansas Hates The First Amendment

Laura, you never cease to amaze me. Seriously. And I don't mean that as a compliment, either.

When someone has a relative who brings weed into his home, and the homeowner goes up on charges for it, what does his job as a journalist, his appearances in TV documentaries, and his previous ownership of a local newspaper have to do with his case? And why do those things mean he should serve a longer sentence?

How's the farm, Laura?

Minnesota Murderer Cop Finally Charged

Jeronimo Yanez, the Minnesota pig who, in July, opened fire on Philando Castile and killed him during a traffic stop for no reason, has finally been charged with something called second degree manslaughter. His girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, streamed the incident on Facebook, for the entire world to see. Yanez not only was completely unconcerned about the innocence of Castile and Reynolds, he also did not care about the safety of Reynolds's four year old daughter, who was also in the car and watched the shooting.

While manslaughter is not as serious of a charge as first or second degree murder, there have been problems in the recent past in gaining convictions of these police officers who feel that a badge is a license to commit murder. For that reason, it was probably a better guarantee of accountability for for a black victim's life to charge the killer with a lesser charge, and at the same time, a better guarantee that this defendant will never prowl the highways as a police officer again.

Above is Jeronimo Yanez, who kept the peace by committing a murder in front of a woman and a child, in his police get-up; and Philado Castile, who, unfortunately, crossed the path of a racist cop who felt like pulling the trigger for no reason.

The Policeman Still Made Facebook Threat

Chance Hartner

hey adkins how about i kill you if you get on my computer again

You know, Marshall County, Kansas; the Facebook page can be hidden, the link destroyed, or the account cancelled, but the police officer you pay to maintain balence and peace still made the above quoted threat on a social media website, and threats of violence are still against Facebook's policy. They should be against your policy, as well.

 

San Francisco Catholic Priest Drives Drunk

Christian clergy can be an interesting lot. One of the most curious things about them is the fact that so many of them scream and cry over American politics and law, flipping out over things like equal rights for gay Americans, while at the same time, abusing children and producing kiddie porn! Today, there was some media attention drawn to a Reverend Salvatore Cordileone, whose ability to drive while intoxicated is about the same as a lay person's ability to drive while intoxicated. He is the Roman Catholic bishop of San Francisco, and he is about to be promoted, on October 4, to archbishop. The Vatican apparently has no problem with one of their bishops driving drunk, here in the United States, just as it has no problem with bishops and priests who commit sex crimes. This is one thing about Christianity that is never gonna change: the clergy will always carry on as if it existed above the law.
