“Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill defended his law license at a nearly week-long disciplinary hearing. It featured 26 witnesses, hours of testimony and dozens of pieces of evidence.
It stemmed from allegations he groped four women last year. Rep. Mara Candelaria Reardon (D-Munster) and three legislative staffers – Samantha Lozano, Niki DaSilva and Gabrielle Brock – say Curtis Hill groped them at a party in March 2018.”

“The State Department is preparing to recommend that the Trump administration’s top representative for Iran policy receive disciplinary action for his role in politically motivated firings of employees at the department, according to two government sources involved in carrying out the investigation.
The department’s inspector general has been investigating Brian Hook and other State Department officials for their involvement in layoffs and other personnel decisions that impacted individuals who were thought to have perceived loyalty to the Obama administration. Several whistleblowers raised allegations against Hook and others, prompting the inspector general to analyze emails and other documents as part of the probe. The recommendation for Hook is set to be outlined in a new report by the inspector general. It is due out within the next several weeks.”

Money, Voting and Bearing Arms. How do you think the GOP and NRA would respond if suddenly all eligible democrats legally registered for and obtained weapons? It’s their constitutional right. Why not? Would
The republican narrative change more people exercised that right?
What motivates swing voters to come out in droves to vote? Wanting a change.
No one can throw stones, everyone who should needs to just repent, turn away from the bs, and move forward with wisdom and sanity.

President Donald Trump’s political appointees inappropriately retaliated against a career civil servant at the State Department in part because of her ethnic background, her perceived political views, and the fact that she was in government during prior administrations, a federal watchdog says.
In a report to be released publicly later this week, State Department Inspector General Steve Linick recommends that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo consider disciplining officials found to have violated policies that require they use merit-based factors in determining where to place career staffers.
The report has been in the works for more than a year. It covers five cases, and overall its findings are mixed, in part because the inspector general says he was "unable to obtain essential information from key decision-makers."

Unsurprising since Verma worked for the state of Indiana and one of its biggest contractors at the same time.
this is revolting, absolutely revolting. good friend was agency head - more senior than Verma - and would have never done this, both the billing and the burnishing. House committee - commerce? - needs to go after this stat.

Don't forget Steve Wynn. GOP leadership went crazy about Dems returning Weinstein money but did jackshit nothing about Wynn money to RNC.
