Whatever your opinion on Tucket or his "reporting", the NSA has been suspect for years now. I think Rand Paul is merely using this as an opportunity to demand some much belated transparency, and less cares about defending Carlson.

lol sure

I knew Tucker being involved would make it a hard sell.


But Rand Paul is a standup guy, if he thinks the NSA needs looking into, that has to mean something.

He's one of the most honorable Senators there are, I think both sides will agree on that.

Wait, was Rand Paul the third party candidate who got like 11% of the vote?


...I got Rand Paul confused with Ross Perot..

Shit.

I really did get him confused with someone else.


Not sure it's even perot though. Who was the libertarian guy? Or whoever it was that didn't trust any governmental organization, and was aghast at Prism I think, and supported Wikileaks..?

Is Ron respected?

Interesting question. So what I'm gathering here is that you don't have much idea of who any of these people are, yet your justification for taking this seriously was...



...yeah, this is definitely not about Tucker Carlson or anything.

Nooooo..

Republicans voted no on a bipartisan investigation into the Jan 6th attack and insurrection and have done their best to block other attempts, but now they want an investigation into the NSA because Tucker Carlson says so?

More respected than Rand. Rand is no better than any other Republican.

Rand is more mainstream whereas Ron was a more principled and a niche meme, mostly.

Having said that, Ron was only a congressman, Rand is a senator. I wonder who is more respected by the government, I mean swamp.

Thank God for senators like Paul... and especially thank God for patriots like Tucker Carlson.

Tucker's defense is basically: "Tucker is just a clown and any reasonable person would not take him seriously."

Oh snowflake lefties lol.

Pretty much.

Think of it this way: The opinion section of the newspaper is held to a different standard than the news sections. All pundit are "opinion".


Or that's the standard defense.


Which I won't say slander charges can't stick though, we shall see.

Tucker>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Blakey, Robbie, and pooty COMBINED.

The "'general tenor' of the show should then inform a viewer that is not 'stating actual facts' about the topics he discusses and is instead engaging in 'exaggeration' and 'non-literal commentary.' "

"Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes."

Ps. Omg, would you stop keylogging me I'm very aware of the consequences of my actions. I have better interpersonal skills than anyone on my case

Alexis Toon demands that Rand Paul get ****ed.

It was found out that Tucker did have his name released from the NSA when they were listening in to conversations.........

So the NSA can absolutely listen to calls made to foreign countries that are of concern BUT they are not supposed to release the name of US citizens in said call.

So yes the NSA did absolutely breach the protocols meant to protect US citizens apparently Tucker was trying to get an interview with Putin.

It wasn't an investigation, Tucker tried to reach putin for an interview, it flagged the NSA which then intercepted his call. That's a tried and true practice it's legal. What's not legal is releasing the name of the US citizen that made the call, calling for an interview isn't illegal, NSA capturing the call isn't illegal, NSA releasing the name of the US citizen isn't legal.

Yes, you often are confused. Maybe you should seriously cut back on the booze, bozo.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul waited more than a year to disclose that his wife purchased stock in a company that makes a COVID-19 treatment, an investment made after Congress was briefed on the threat of the virus, but before the public was largely aware of its danger.

The Republican filed a mandatory disclosure Wednesday revealing on February 26, 2020 that Kelley Paul purchased somewhere up to $15,000 worth of stock in Gilead, which makes the antiviral drug remdesivir. Under a 2012 law called the Stock Act, which was enacted to stop lawmakers from trading on insider information, any such sale should have been reported within 45 days.

Word of the looming danger posed by the coronavirus began to spread through Congress in late January 2020, after members received the first of several briefings on the economic and public health threat that it posed.

The disclosure, made 16 months late, adds Paul to a growing list of lawmakers who have drawn scrutiny for their stock trading during the outbreak, which was declared a pandemic in March 2020.

Paul, however, is unique in some respects. The first senator to catch COVID-19, he has repeatedly railed against mask mandates and other public health tools to stop the spread of the virus.

YouTube suspended Paul for seven days on Tuesday and removed a video he posted that claimed cloth masks do not prevent infection, saying it violated policies on COVID-19 misinformation.

It is the second time this month that one of Paul's videos has been taken down by YouTube for breaking its rules about misleading content. Paul called YouTube's decision a "badge of honor" in a Tweet.

In other words, this ******* has been lying about masking and vaccines, so people would be end up hospitalized and treated with remdesivir, to drive up the manufacturer's stock price, so he could cash in.

Hmmm, I wonder why she tried to hide that her husband made close to $500K from a 'consulting' gig.

Because prior to her being elected to Congress, he was making $32,000 a year. Then suddenly, he is making $478,000 a year for the company of a donor whose industry she supports in Congress.

A federal grand jury has indicted Representative Jeff Fortenberry on charges of lying to federal investigators about his campaign contributions

The federal grand jury charged him with one count of scheming to falsify and conceal material facts and two counts of making false statements to federal investigators looking into illegal contributions to his 2016 campaign, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California.

The nine-term Republican accepted illegal campaign contributions funneled to him from a Nigerian billionaire, then lied about it to the FBI.

In a YouTube video posted Monday night, Fortenberry said he was "shocked" and "stunned," and asked his supporters to rally behind him. Knowingly making false statements to a federal agent is a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison.

Two weeks ago Fortenberry issued a vaguely-worded money beg claiming that he is being persecuted by the Biden administration. He recently revealed that he had pressed the panic button in his Capitol hill office multiple times just to "test" the response time of Capitol Police. Fortenberry was also among the 126 House Republicans who signed an amicus brief in support of overturning the election.

Claims of being persecuted and playing the victim, do these Rightwing clowns have no other tactic?

This is the guy Jeff Fortenberry accepted illegal campaign funding from: Lebanese-Nigerian Billionaire and Two Associates Resolve Federal Probe into Alleged Violations of Campaign Finance Laws

Former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens improperly tapped his state campaign fund to help pay for his current bid for the U.S. Senate.

In a complaint filed Thursday with the Federal Election Commission, Washington-based Campaign Legal Center, a nonprofit focused on campaign finance laws and ethics, said the Republican spent more than $100,000 from his Missouri account to finance the start-up costs of his political comeback attempt.

The unlawful spending included payments to a longtime aide who is now his Senate campaign manager, as well as to public relations firms and media consulting firms, and for digital media costs, the complaint noted.

After Republican Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina dumped more than $1.6-million in stocks in February 2020, a week before the coronavirus market crash, he called his brother-in-law, according to a new Securities and Exchange Commission filing. They talked for 50 seconds. Burr, according to the SEC, had material non-public information regarding the incoming economic impact of coronavirus. The very next minute, Burr's brother-in-law, Gerald Fauth, called his broker.

In the filings, the SEC also revealed that there is an ongoing insider trading investigation into both Burr and Fauth's trades. It had previously been reported that federal prosecutors had decided not to charge Burr. Burr's spokesperson did not immediately respond to questions. Fauth's lawyer and the SEC did not respond to questions. Fauth hung-up on a reporter.

There are tapes. That is the news from a recent filing in federal court in the case against indicted Representative Jeff Fortenberry, whose defense team acknowledged that the government made at least two recordings of the sitting congressman over the course of its investigation surrounding illicit campaign contributions from a Nigerian-Lebanese billionaire.

According to the report, the mountain of evidence against Fortenberry is so vast that the prosecutors have asked the judge to delay the case just so the defense can catch up.

Greitens, Burr and Fortenberry need to lose their seats. They're unfit to serve, bunch of criminals.

According to the report, the mountain of evidence against Fortenberry is so vast that the prosecutors have asked the judge to delay the case just so the defense can catch up.

Representative Jeff Fortenberry of Nebraska was convicted late Thursday on charges that he lied to federal authorities about an illegal $30,000 contribution to his campaign from a foreign billionaire at a 2016 Los Angeles fundraiser.

A federal jury in L.A. deliberated about two hours before finding the nine-term Republican guilty of concealing information, and two counts of making false statements to authorities.

Fortenberry was charged after denying to the FBI that he was aware he had received illicit funds from Gilbert Chagoury, a Nigerian billionaire of Lebanese descent.

Fortenberry, 61, was charged last October with three felony counts, including one count of scheming to falsify and conceal material facts, and two counts of making false statements to federal investigators.

"After learning of illegal contributions to his campaign, the congressman repeatedly chose to conceal the violations of federal law to protect his job, his reputation, and his close associates," U.S. Attorney Tracy L. Wilkison said in a statement.

Fortenberry is scheduled to be sentenced on June 28th. Each charge carries a statutory maximum penalty of five years in federal prison, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.

Fortenberry's conviction could mark the end of the nine-term Republican's political career. A Nebraska congressman with little name recognition outside of his state, he would still be eligible to run for and serve in Congress as a felon, though a resignation is likely, given the threat of expulsion.

Republican Representative Lauren Boebert paid rent and utility bills with campaign funds in violation of federal campaign finance laws, new filings with the Federal Election Commission show. Representatives for the congresswoman could not immediately be reached for comment.

Each of the four payments in question (two for $2,000 each and another two for $1,325 each) were amended to show payments for the same amount, description, and on the same days to John Pacheco, whose address is the same as Shooters Grill in Rifle, which Boebert owns. Pacheco's relationship to Boebert was not immediately clear.

An investigation has revealed that Lauren Boebert was an unlicensed, paid escort through SugarDaddyMeet.com. Text messages show she was bankrupt, and looking for "side income." She described her work as "pay-to-play."

She was hired by a Koch family member, who subsequently "introduced" her to Republican Senator Raphael "Ted" Cruz in Aspen, Colorado. Cruz encouraged her to run for Congress, and donated at least $136,250 to her campaign.

Boebert, however, did not disclose a $70,500 donation from Cruz, even though he disclosed it in his Federal Election Commission filings. Oops.

Boebert also had an abortion in Grand Junction, Colorado when she was 18, and she had another one five years later at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Glenwood Springs, Colorado "due to her 'work' with a SugarDaddyMeet.com client."

On May 10th 2020, Boebert was driving an off-road vehicle under the influence of alcohol in Moab, Utah and caused a crash that endangered her minor son, and nearly killed her sister-in-law, who had to be MedEvac lifted from the scene.

This was two weeks before her primary, and she paid to keep her sister-in-law quiet. She is currently being investigated for the cover-up, in addition to reckless endangerment and driving under the influence.

so on top of everything she's a literal whore, and by her own definition, a 2-time "baby killer". sure she'll fall out of favor immediately with "family values" conservatives........right?

Boebert should be worried, because she was one of the people texting and Tweeting the locations of legislators, and she is likely going to lose her seat next year due to non-partisan redistrcting, so she will be an easy sacrificial lamb for them.

They hired her off a talent agency website for wannabe models in the first place, paid her business debts, and gave her sex-offender husband a high-salaried job in exchange for being an empty-headed puppet for them.

She has served her purpose, and they are going to dispose of her.

Garfield County Sheriff's deputies decided to let neighbors of Republican Representative Lauren Boebert settle a dispute between themselves and the congresswoman's husband after he reportedly threatened them and destroyed their mailbox.

But 9-1-1 calls from the incident show just how upset and nervous the neighbors were over their run-in with Boebert's husband, Jayson Boebert.

The calls also provide additional context into what the neighbors, in Silt, said amounted to excessive speeding, property damage, drunk driving, and threats made from a man whose family openly and regularly carries their firearms.

Lauren Boebert's husband exposed himself to underage girls at a bowling alley back in 2004.

Just a matter of time until one of these Boeberts severely injures or murders someone.
