REMINDER: IRS Commissioner John Koskinen is Major Democratic Donor

Koskinen also resembles a particular B class actor of the 40s...don't know his name, but you'd see him in Nazi movies. Both of these guys had/have that same smarmy, smug look on their faces, that you want to slap so hard into oblivion.

Anonymous donations?

Hmmm...

Love Trey! But that Koskinen bastard is one arrogant lying SOB. As a lawyer, I just love watching Gowdy. One of his great skills is not letting the witness control the conversation or grandstand. He cuts him off right away after getting the answer and has the backbone to speak forcefully enough to stop the witness from trying to filibuster. If we had 20 Trey Gowdy’s in key committee positions, we might just be able to wrestle the government back from the bastiges in DC.

Thanks for the ping...

[GOPJ]

My feeling too...

[GOPJ]

He’s creepier than most liberals... which says a lot...

[Lacey]

Don’t forget the esteemed journalist Judy Woodruff assured us on FNS that she’s known him a long time and he’s a great guy.

[smoothsailing]

Trey Gowdy is rapidly becoming one of my heroes! :)

Yes. Anonymous donations. You can’t sell your influence unless you know who the buyer is and what he wants. It would also force candidates to state their positions on a wider range of topics, so donors would know who they wanted to back.

But anyone revealing a donor’s identity or a candidate seeking to discover it should go to jail. Do not pass “GO”, do not collect $200.00.

Just why is it that lawyers in particular, who can easily make $300-500,000 a year are so hot to get elected to $170k jobs, unless there’s a huge upside?

The people who hold the whips in any tyranny are inherently going to be the worst of the worst.

[nascarnation]

How old IS this guy?

I had his brother as a college prof and I’m OLD.

[GOPJ]

He was given the position, so that he could sit there and say “I wasn’t here at that time.” It seems every scandal in this administration ends up with retirements and promotions. They need to subpoena some of the lower rung people who are involved that don’t have a golden parachute or great job prospects.

That's where a good team of reporters needs to start too... at the bottom - working their way up.

[GOPJ]

You’re right. Thanks.
