Your Republican Party -- Hypocrites of the Swamp. Anyone believe McCarthy had nothing to do with the federal contracts? Has there ever been a more corrupt political party in American history? A company owned by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy's (R-Calif.) in-laws was awarded more than $7 million in federal contracts based on McCarthy’s brother-in-law's disputed claim of Native American identity, according to a Los Angeles Times investigation published Sunday. thehill.com/homenews/house/411342-company-owned-by-mccarthys-won-millions-in-federal-contracts-from-dubiousThose ethics watchdogs questioned whether the blossoming of the in-laws’ business in McCarthy’s political backyard was a coincidence. They called on the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate whether McCarthy exerted any influence over the contract awards and to determine what he knew about his brother-in-law’s participation in the minority contracting program. Following The Times’ inquiries, the designation of Vortex as a Native American-owned company also was removed from the SBA’s public database. SBA officials declined to say who made the change or why, or to answer other questions. www.latimes.com/local/california/la-na-pol-mccarthy-contracts-20181014-story.html

www.nytimes.com/2018/10/18/us/politics/fbi-headquarters-building-trump.htmlWhen Emily W. Murphy, the administrator of the General Services Administration, appeared in April before a House subcommittee, she dodged questions about whether Mr. Trump or anyone at the White House had been involved in the discussions about the F.B.I. headquarters.
Ms. Murphy, a Trump appointee, said the F.B.I. had “wanted to put the J. Edgar Hoover site back into play,” and requested that her agency consider renovating the existing headquarters. Her agency did not like that idea, so it suggested demolishing the building and constructing a new headquarters on the site instead.
In fact, the White House had been involved, at least between the decision to kill the original project and the announcement of the new plan, according to the review by the General Services Administration’s Office of Inspector General in response to Mr. Connolly’s request.
In December 2017, five months after the decision to cancel the original project, Ms. Murphy and another official from her agency met with the White House chief of staff, John F. Kelly, and the budget director, Mick Mulvaney, about the F.B.I. headquarters.
In January, she met at the White House with Mr. Kelly and Mr. Mulvaney, along with Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, and Christopher A. Wray, the F.B.I. director. Then the group met with Mr. Trump in the Oval Office.
Precisely what transpired in that meeting is unclear. But according to the inspector general’s report, an official at the General Services Administration sent an email a few days later that referred to “what POTUS directed everyone to do” and “POTUS’s orders.” Another official from the agency wrote in an email about delivering “the project the president wants on the timetable he wants it done.”

Coming for ya, Don the Con . . . A federal judge on Friday denied President Trump’s request to stay a lawsuit alleging he is in violation of the Constitution by doing business with foreign governments, a decision that paves the way for plaintiffs to seek information from his business as it relates to his D.C. hotel. U.S. District Judge Peter J. Messitte in Greenbelt, Md., denied the Justice Department’s request that he pause the case in order to allow a higher court to intervene. And he sharply questioned the president’s position that his business does not improperly accept gifts or payments — called emoluments — as defined by the Constitution. By Trump’s analysis, Messitte wrote, the term emoluments is the subject of such “substantial grounds of disagreement” that payments his business received from foreign governments could not qualify. The judge did not agree: “The Court finds this a dubious proposition.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/judge-denies-trumps-request-for-stay-in-emoluments-case/2018/11/02/aa87611c-dec8-11e8-b3f0-62607289efee_story.html?tidr=a_breakingnews&hpid=hp_no-name_rhp-breaking-news%3Apage%2Fbreaking-news-bar

In the past 24 hours it’s been revealed that Matt Whitaker is under FBI investigation, illegally dodged a subpoena, prosecuted a gay man for his politics, stole money from disabled veterans, and cheated on taxes.
The chief law enforcement officer of the US was a paid advisor of a company that scammed people out of tens of millions of dollars and is currently being criminally investigated by the FBI. Why would anybody in there right mind make this guy the acting AG?
Oh..
