    Certainly supports YF's drumbeat here that we need to keep looking into the Clintons!

    But they were young voters, right? The whole thing was relitigated, again, during the most recent election cycle, in which they cast a vote.

    A lot of young voters see Hillary, see Trump, read a couple things on the internet, and they vote.

    Not everybody has a laser focus on rehashing Bill shit from 20 years ago, like some Rainmen here. This board is NOT a cross section of the country.

    You vacillate between being a voice of reason and a real dick. And no, I'm not explaining that one to you, either.

    Politico says that the new strategy under consideration in Alabama is for Luther Strange to resign his seat and trigger a different primary to replace him.

    These guys are feeling desperate.

    Taxpayers pay legal bill to protect Trump business profits

    "Taxpayers are footing the legal bill for at least 10 Justice Department lawyers and paralegals to work on lawsuits related to President Trump's private businesses.

    Neither the White House nor the Justice Department will say how much it is costing taxpayers, but federal payroll records show the salaries of the government lawyers assigned to the cases range from about $133,000 to $185,000.

    The government legal team is defending President Trump in four lawsuits stemming from his unusual decision not to divest himself from hundreds of his companies that are entangled with customers that include foreign governments and officials.

    In the cases, Justice Department attorneys are not defending policy actions Trump took as president. Instead, the taxpayer-funded lawyers are making the case that it is not unconstitutional for the president's private companies to earn profits from foreign governments and officials while he's in office.

    The government lawyers and Trump's private attorneys are making the same arguments — that the Constitution's ban on a president taking gifts from foreign interests in exchange for official actions does not apply to foreign government customers buying things from Trump's companies. The plaintiffs, including ethics groups and competing businesses, argue the payments pose an unconstitutional conflict of interest.


    The Justice Department for weeks refused to answer questions about how many employees were working on the cases and for how long, falsely saying the agency doesn't track such information. USA TODAY identified the government legal staff who are defending Trump’s business profits using the agency's own internal case-tracking database, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
