Maxine Waters (Another Democrat) to Face Ethics Charges

It appears the “swamp” Shrieker Nancy Pelosi promised to drain is still producing ethically challenged democrats. Maxine (a/k/a MARXine for wanting to socialize the oil industry)Waters, a democrat from California, is the latest to face charges of ethics violations.

The House Ethics Committee is expected to announce today or tomorrow that it has formed an “adjudicatory subcommittee” to try Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters on charges of ethics violations.

The committee’s announcement will make Waters the second Democrat to face an ethics trial this fall, creating a distraction for the Democratic Party as it heads into the midterm elections.

The 10-term lawmaker from Los Angeles has been under investigation since 2009 for assisting a bank to which she had personal connections in getting federal bailout money.

In 2008, Waters organized a meeting between Treasury officials and executives from OneUnited Bank, where her husband was once a board member and had large investments. The bank received $12 million from the federal government’s Troubled Asset Relief Program. Waters, who serves on the House Financial Services Committee, has defended her request for the meeting as part of her efforts to advocate on behalf of minority-owned businesses. SOURCE.

Judge Denies Blagojevich’s Motion to Subpoena President Obama – May Reconsider

Rod Blagojevich

U.S. District Court Judge James B. Zagel denied former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich’s motion to subpoena President Obama.

From cbs2chicago:

In denying the motion, Zagel said the defense motion “falls very short” of presenting enough evidence that Obama’s testimony would be relevant to the charges against Blagojevich.

“The testimony of the president is not material to this case,” Zagel said.

But the judge said he would be willing to reconsider his decision later if evidence is presented that would make the president’s testimony relevant.

Culture of Corruption: William Jefferson Sentenced to 13 Years

After being found guilty on 11 of 16 counts, former Lousiana democrat Rep. William Jefferson was sentenced yesterday to 13 years in prison by Judge T.S. Ellis III. Judge Ellis commented that Jefferson’s conduct was a:

“a cancer on the body politic.” SOURCE

Jefferson had $90,000 in cash in his freezer when the FBI executed their search warrant.

Doesn't everyone use their freezer to store $90,000?

I Must be Un-American because I am the Mob.

So you want Socialized Medicine?

In this morning’s  USA Today, dumbocrat Shrieker of the House Nancy Pelosi and her lackey, Steny Hoyer claim:

Now — with Americans strongly supporting health insurance reform, with Congress reaching consensus on a plan, and with a president who ran and won on this specific promise of change — America is closer than ever to this century-deferred goal.

A recent Rasmussen Poll indicated 54% of Americans favor middle class tax cuts over new health care spending. A separate Rasmussen Poll released today revealed that only 32% of Americans favor a single-payer health care system. 52% believe a single-payer program would lead to lower quality health care. While it is subject to debate whether or not Americans strongly support health insurance “reform”, I would submit to Madam Shrieker and Stinky Hoyer that the majority of Americans who voiced opposition to your plan are opposed to health care destruction.  H.R. 3200 clearly destroys their freedom to choose and select their health care providers.

These disruptions are occurring because opponents are afraid not just of differing views — but of the facts themselves. Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American. Drowning out the facts is how we failed at this task for decades.

What “facts” does the Shrieker and Stinky rely on? H.R. 3200 begins:

To provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans and reduce the growth in health care spending, and for other purposes.

Here are a few “facts” contained in the bill which they want to drown out:

• Sec. 122, Pg. 29, Lines 4-16: rations health care available to you. (Rationing can certainly affect the affordability of your health care)
• Sec. 123, Pg. 30: a government committee will decide FOR YOU, what treatment and benefits you get. (A bureaucrat who makes these decisions can certainly reduce health care spending. You dying from a lack of treatment will inevitably reduce future health care costs.)
• Sec. 152, Pg. 50-51: health care is provided to ALL NON-US Citizens. (i.e. illegals who are not “Americans” receive treatment that Americans tax dollars pay for).

From Newsmax:

On Friday [July 19, 2009], Democrats moved one step closer to giving free health insurance to the nation’s estimated 12 million illegal aliens when they successfully defeated a Republican-backed amendment, offered by Rep. Dean Heller, R-Nev., that would have prevented illegal aliens from receiving government-subsidized health care under the proposed plan backed by House Democrats and President Barack Obama. [emphasis added]

The House Ways and Means Committee nixed the Heller amendment by a 26-to-15 vote along straight party lines, and followed this action by passing the 1,018-page bill early Friday morning by a 23-to-18 margin, with three Democrats voting against the plan.

The Democratic plan will embrace Obama’s vision of bringing free government medical care to more than 45 million uninsured people in America – a significant portion of whom are illegal aliens.

Democrats and those who support this debacle under the guise of “reform” are out to destroy your freedom. That Madam Shrieker is  un-American.

Shrieker Pelosi: The Real Villain

Dude, Where's My Botox?

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is one of the most despised political figures in the country.

And, frankly, she doesn’t give a damn.

“No, I don’t care,” Pelosi told POLITICO last Thursday, laughing heartily as she walked beneath the Capitol dome and plunged into a crowd of tourists.

Last week’s Public Strategies Inc./POLITICO poll brought grim news for Pelosi, revealing that only a quarter of Americans trust the San Francisco Democrat — putting her in the basement with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio).

Mention of the “trust” question halted the click-clack of Pelosi’s heels against Rotunda marble, and she turned to face the reporter who posed the question.

“I don’t know about ‘trust’ — I think I’m trusted,” she said.

“I certainly want to be trusted. I’m not particularly concerned if I’m liked.”

But month after month of polling shows that the speaker is neither trusted nor liked by the general public — even as she emerges from one of the most productive legislative periods any speaker has ever enjoyed.

Pennsylvania dumbocrat John Murtha again comes under the culture of corruption spotlight as defense contractors associated with him are under investigation.

This time the names include Mountaintop Technologies which received $10 million in earmarks and Kuchera Industries which got $9 million in earmarks in 2008.  The Pennsylvania representative allegedly used his seniority and position on the U.S. House Appropriations committee to secure the earmarks that he passed on to companies with whom he had relationships.

Donations from executives of Mountaintop to Murtha’s campaigns amounted to $40,200 while employees of Kuchera kicked in $89,000. SOURCE.

Americans Favor Cheney over Pelosi

In a recent USA Today/Gallup Poll (May 29-31), Americans have a 37% “favorable view” of former Vice-President Dick Cheney. Madam Shrieker, Nancy “The CIA lied”  Pelosi’s “favorable view” is at 34%. She currently registered a 50% “unfavorable” rating.

Pelosi: The Silent Shrieker

Now San Fran Nan, the dumbocrat Shrieker of the House, invokes her right to remain silent on the specious claim the CIA misled Congress about waterboarding.  At today’s press conference, Madam Shrieker said:

“I have made the statement that I’m going to make on this,” she told reporters at a Capitol Hill news conference. “I don’t have anything more to say about it. I stand by my comment.”

This is the same politician who tried to distinguish between being “informed” but not “briefed”.

Shrieker Shuffle

I was not briefed…I was just informed

Nancy Knew in 2002

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

REP. NANCY PELOSI, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, R-CALIF.: The CIA briefed me only once on enhanced interrogation techniques in September 2002 in my capacity as the ranking member of the Intelligence Committee. The only mention of waterboarding at that briefing was that it was not being employed.

Five months later, in February 2003, a member of my staff informed me that the Republican chairman and the Democratic ranking member of the Intelligence Committee had been briefed about the use of certain techniques which had been the subject of earlier legal opinions. I was not briefed on what was in that briefing. I was just informed that the briefing had taken place.

He said that the committee chair, ranking member and appropriate staff had been briefed that these techniques were now being used. That’s all I was informed, that they were being used and that a letter was sent.

Let me say this. Of all the briefings that I have received, at this same time, there were misinforming me earlier. Now, in September, the same time as the briefing, they were telling the American people there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and it was an imminent threat to the United States. I — to the limit of what I could say to my caucus — told them the intelligence does not support the imminent threat that this administration is contending.

So it’s on the subject of what’s happening in Iraq, whether it’s talking about the techniques used by the — by the intelligence community on those they are interrogating, at every step of the way, the administration was misleading the Congress. And that is the issue. And that is why we need a truth commission, to look into that.

QUESTION: Madam Speaker, just to be clear, you are accusing the CIA of lying to you in September of 2002.

PELOSI: Yes, misleading the Congress of the United States.

QUESTION: And also…

PELOSI: Misleading the Congress of the United States.

QUESTION: And doing it again now, as they’ve released this list of briefings that says you were briefed on the interrogation tactics used.

PELOSI: I’m saying — I’m quoting what the head of the CIA said. This is — we don’t know if this information is accurate that he’s talking about. What they briefed us on — and perhaps they should release the briefings. I would be very happy if they would release the briefing, and then you will see what they briefed in one time — in one time and another, House and Senate and the rest.

And perhaps with the intense interest that this has generated because of the distraction that the Republicans want to cause with this, then you can make a judgment yourself about what you think these briefings were. But I’m telling you that they talked about interrogations that they had done and said, We want to use enhanced techniques, and we have legal opinions that say they are OK. We’re not using waterboarding. That’s the only mention, that they were not using it. And we now know that earlier, they were.

So yes, I am saying that they are misleading — that the CIA was misleading the Congress.

And now they’re trying to say, Don’t put the spotlight on us. We told the Congress. Well, they didn’t tell us everything that they were doing. And the fact is that anything we would say doesn’t matter anyway.

QUESTION: You said very clearly, We were not told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used.

PELOSI: That’s right. I meant we. We in that — in that — in that meeting.

QUESTION: OK. OK.

PELOSI: In the briefing that I received, we were not told that — in fact, we were told that waterboarding was not being used.

No, I wasn’t — I was informed that a briefing had taken place. Now, you have to look at what they briefed those members. I was not briefed that. I was only informed that they were briefed, but I did not get the briefing.

CIA Says Pelosi Was Briefed on Use of ‘Enhanced Interrogations’

By Paul Kane
Intelligence officials released documents this evening saying that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was briefed in September 2002 about the use of harsh interrogation tactics against al-Qaeda prisoners, seemingly contradicting her repeated statements over the past 18 months that she was never told that these techniques were actually being used.

In a 10-page memo outlining an almost seven-year history of classified briefings, intelligence officials said that Pelosi and then-Rep. Porter Goss (R-Fla.) were the first two members of Congress ever briefed on the interrogation tactics. Then the ranking member and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, respectively, Pelosi and Goss were briefed Sept. 4, 2002, one week before the first anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The memo, issued by the Director of National Intelligence and the Central Intelligence Agency to Capitol Hill, notes the Pelosi-Goss briefing covered “EITs including the use of EITs on Abu Zubaydah.” EIT is an acronym for enhanced interrogation technique. Zubaydah was one of the earliest valuable al-Qaeda members captured and the first to have the controversial tactic known as water boarding used against him.

Response to Pelosi’s Press Conference

Pelosi’s waterboarding denial: She Knew in 2002

Afflicted with CLD (Congenital Liar's Disease)

PELOSI KNEW IN 2002

The collagen and botox must be seeping into Shrieker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s miniscule brain. Watch her stutter through the claim that she did not know about waterboarding:

Joby Warrick and Dan Eggen wrote:

In September 2002, four members of Congress met in secret for a first look at a unique CIA program designed to wring vital information from reticent terrorism suspects in U.S. custody. For more than an hour, the bipartisan group, which included current House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), was given a virtual tour of the CIA’s overseas detention sites and the harsh techniques interrogators had devised to try to make their prisoners talk.

Among the techniques described, said two officials present, was waterboarding, a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill. But on that day, no objections were raised. Instead, at least two lawmakers in the room asked the CIA to push harder, two U.S. officials said.

NSA Wiretap and California Dumbocrat Jane Harman

Culture of Corruption

CQ Politics recently reported that Jane Harman, (DUMBOCRAT) from California, was overheard on an NSA wiretap:

telling a suspected Israeli agent that she would lobby the Justice Department reduce espionage-related charges against two officials of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee, the most powerful pro-Israel organization in Washington.

Harman was recorded saying she would “waddle into” the AIPAC case “if you think it’ll make a difference,” according to two former senior national security officials familiar with the NSA transcript.

In exchange for Harman’s help, the sources said, the suspected Israeli agent pledged to help lobby Nancy Pelosi , D-Calif., then-House minority leader, to appoint Harman chair of the Intelligence Committee after the 2006 elections, which the Democrats were heavily favored to win.

Seemingly wary of what she had just agreed to, according to an official who read the NSA transcript, Harman hung up after saying, “This conversation doesn’t exist.”

Shrieker of the House

Chris Dodd lied, AIG bonuses died.

It was recently reported that Sen. Chris Dodd (DEMOCRAT),  accepted more than $103,000 in the 2008 election cycle from AIG and that Dear Leader Chairman MAObama (DEMOCRAT) received more than $100,000 from AIG for his presidential campaign. Turbo Tax Tim Geithner, the equally inept Treasury Secretary, was the central figure in the decision to bailout AIG last fall while serving as the president of Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

The dumbocrats fingerprints are all over this debacle. This is exactly what happens when omniscient government bureaucrats intervene in private business. Had AIG been forced into bankruptcy last year, these contracts could have easily been modified by a bankruptcy judge. Watch Sen. Dodd”ge” attempt to explain his  ”change” in recollection to Communist News Network reporter, Wolf Blitzer.
