This one would be a stretch, I think. But it's great they're being so thoroughly vetted, and the committees know we're paying attention.

Funny ****! Nobama himself was NEVER vetted. He's the biggest ineligible fraud of the whole Dim bunch...

Yes but OBAMA was supposed to have a "thorough vetting process", Remember those 50 page questionaires the media hyped up that Obama was supposedly using? His "vetting process" should have caught this stuff before they were nominated.....

This should have been addressed before they were nominated, not having it all dug up during confirmations.

Once, I can understand. Twice is dubious. Three strikes and you're out. And now there's a possible fourth one?

Financial and tax issues with his nominees. Granted this one is a stretch, but it's also the fourth time one of his nominees has had questionable financial dealings, the fifth if you count Hilary and that foundation.....

Disclosures are now "questionable"? I guess that is why previous administrations believed in black box politics... one never knew what was happening behind the walls. May be the American populace doesn't really deserve a more open governance. Sad.

Disclosure or no disclosure, some of these guys were delinquent on taxes that were more than double the total annual income of an average American, and they did not pay until they were nominated. That cannot be forgiven.

This particular one wouldn't concern me too much under usual circumstances but this is the fourth offense.....

What is the offense with this case? You didn't clarify last time I asked.
