    Boom sent me his files when he was banned.

    Interesting thing is, he sent it from his work email.

    Failing to disclose his relationship with Cohen was wrong.

    Why did Boom get banned, again?

    She's famous. She doesn't hold an office and isn't seeking one, which makes Mitt Romney more relevant to this discussion than she is. She's Colin Powell. We're not talking about Colin Powell.

    Now I have a long drive to make, so you won't have to worry about saving me again for a few hours.

    Small-government Hannity using HUD loans to buy low income apartments. Hypocritical grifter. Fucking welfare queen.

    We might be if: 1) great swaths of the country considered him something of a President-in-exile; and/or B) he was out promoting a book in which he ... explains ... his loss to the current occupant of the Oval Office.

    Not sure if you are asking in an ironic way, a rhetorical way, or out of genuine interest, but he was banned for yanking people's chains a few too many times.

    I understand vaguely that that's kind of the gist, but that seems like an overreaction. There's no way he'd get banned today for that, I don't think. For the most part, you're OK as long as you don't get belligerent with people Ragu likes.

    Why?

    It was an informal relationship, where he simply asked for legal advice from a friend.

    He never received a bill. But, because it was legal advice, the conversation is still privileged.

    And, anyone who's listened to his radio show knows that he's friends with Cohen. He's talked about the friendship numerous times.

    Meanwhile, a number of journalists have used the same lawyer (Bob Barnett) as Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and George W. Bush. Should they disclose this every time they report on one of his other clients?

    If Mitt Romney or Colin Powell was falling down, and breaking a bone, or suffering a concussion, every two weeks, while pretending nothing else was wrong with them, I bet we would be talking about them.

    People want to infantilize Hillary Clinton, and protect her from all scrutiny, while also telling us how talented she is, and how she should have been elected President. It's an odd way to treat someone.
