On this one I am with Trump. Those close to the President clear unless really damning stuff is there and then they should be charged.

When you elect a President you get the whole package. And if the President supports you that is it.. If you cannot trust the President to select his close advisers don't elect him. But when you do then you must.

If there is a real problem I am sure a senior advisor can bring it to the Pres. But if he wants them that ends it.
Jarad should not even be in Trumps admin.
What would you say if Obama had many brothers and he appointed them many high level positions under him?

No conflict of interest there.

This is evident and obvious to anyone that cares to looks. Don't kid yourself, this will have major repercussions for all of us down the road. Trump and his henchmen have begun to dismantle our national security apparatus - and the fools that continue to support this guy don't seem to have a clue about the significance.

Thus his penchant for secrecy.

Trumps house of cards is built upon lies.

I can see that as a potentially good thing.

A business only responsibility is to themselves and their shareholders, not the country.

And this, is why they should be nowhere near our government.

We know what they want when they go to DC.

oh the drama! the whole security clearance system has become a joke, they hand them out like penny candy, millions have them that don't need them, Kushner having one is no big deal. People that clean the trash have them.

If all the Democrats wanted to do was make up lies to stop trump from appointing a justice, why didn't any women come forward against Gorsuch? Nobody made up anything. Kavanaugh's own record was the issue.

Kavanaugh is a disgrace. His behavior in that hearing was appalling. If you were on trial and heard the judge about to decide your fate screaming about conspiracies and acting with such disrespect, how good would you feel about how fair your trial would be?

It's done. There is nothing you can do.
I want every single rock turned over and the slime underneath exposed. THAT'S what can be done to ensure everyone KNOWS who they are electing in 2020. Well, unless they are deaf, dumb, and blind.

people accused of things they didn't do get mad, just as Kavanaugh did. He'll be a great Justice for the next 40 years.

I get mad about things all the time. If I acted that way at work I'd be fired. Ever hear of judicial temperament? Adults are supposed to be able to control themselves.

Still doesn't answer why the Dems didn't pay women to say Gorsuch raped them if all they wanted to do was stop trump from appointing a justice.
