another criminal we need to DEAL with!

If I suddenly told you I was hiring Johnny Cochran to be my attorney, you’d think – well, first of all, you’d think it was peculiar, since Johnny Cochran is dead. Maybe I’m looking to save some money. But, assuming I mean the metaphorical Johnny Cochran, you’d be pretty sure I’m in some kind of really serious trouble.
Or if your wife mentioned she had hired a lawyer, and you found out the attorney specializes in . . . divorce. You’d probably start checking some apartment listings.
Which brings us to the strange case of President Obama’s decision to hire Neil Eggleston to be his new White House Counsel.
Eggleston is the kind of guy you go to when someone tells you, “time to lawyer up.” He’s a veteran at cleaning up ethics messes for politicians, most notably Bill Clinton, whom he aided during the Whitewater probes and the Monica Lewinsky affair, double entendre intended.
But that’s not nearly all. He represented Rahm Emanuel during the scandal surrounding former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, as well as Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) and George W. Bush political director Sara Taylor when scandals touched them, Clinton Cabinet members Federico Pena and Alexis Herman during corruption probes, and various business people involved in “complex criminal investigations” according to the New York Times.
Which begs and pleads the question, is Obama looking for more protection for the White House from the various GOP congressional probes, or is he aware of the possibility that something much, much worse could break?
I would too....
if it was coming out that I was providing aid, comfort, and supplies to the enemy that led to the deaths of American personnel, including one ambassador
it’s time for him to rot in prison
He should have saved his money, as the opposition is too busy opposing the Tea Party and hiding from MSM.
Oh wait! My bad! He didn't have to save his money, it's ours.
vaudine
UGH makes me ill just to think about that.
When Humpty Dumpty falls off the wall, all the kings horses and all the kings men won't be able to put him back together again.
Not a smidgen!
How many meetings again was it the head of the IRS had at the White House?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
To that I say AMEN!
Two words:
Arpaio and Zullo.
“How many meetings again was it the head of the IRS had at the White House?”
I believe it was over 200. But we were assured by the man himself that it was for Easter eggs rolls and social Tea and Crumpet gatherings.
This isn’t as much fun as hoping Obama has specific troubles in mind, but this guy is a natural pick. He already is part of the criminal cabal, knows many of its secrets, and has a track record of keeping them. Bringing him into the administration seals his lips and prevents others from using him. It does reveal that Obama expects the Dems to loose the Senate and for the post-election Republicans to get some backbone (and replace its Big Government leadership).
Rumor has it that Barry heard the term “Lawyerin Up” and thought it had a nice rung to it...
The writer is correct to ask such questions. Too bad the mainstream media isn’t doing its job, and is ignoring this. Thanks for posting it.
Your abject defeatism is duly noted.
Wars are lost with such attitudes.
acknowledging that the media is going to cover for him in addition to realizing that the Democrats will defend him to the death is not the defeatism. When the s*** hits the fan I will do my part I’m doing my part now. Believing that the media can somehow be changed or that the Democrats will somehow develop a sense of shame and honor is extremely unrealistic and self-defeating because you’re hoping for something to happen it will not happen. We need to rely on ourselves and we need to fight in every way we can. But I don’t believe in fairies and I don’t believe in Pixie Dust.
Your feeble excuses for your abject defeatism are duly noted, along with your unwarranted scorn for anyone not sharing your abject defeatism.
Grow up. Deal with the real world.
Is that a “Reggie Bar” between his cheek and gum??
When Humpty Dumpty falls, a lot of the kings’ men will fall with him.
I can’t wait.
