helicopterer of subpoenas

For weeks, Donald Trump held America hostage with his tweet threats to former FBI director James Comey that MAYBE he has “wire tapps” of their conversations with each other, so Comey better tell the truth about how much justice Donald Trump tried to obstruct. (ALL OF IT, KATIE.) Some people (yours truly) are like PFFFFFFT FUCK OFF, Trump has no goddamn tapes. Other people (your Wonkette editrix Rebecca) are like PFFFFFFT YOURSELF, maybe Trump himself didn’t record those conversations, but one of his weirdo surveillance goons might have! So we still don’t know, not for sure.

Rep. Adam Schiff, ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, would like to know for sure. In fact his committee had ordered the White House to please turn over any “recordings, memoranda, or other documents” that might exist, and said to please turn in that homework by last Friday. Trump’s tweet official White House statement that he didn’t have any tapes came the day before. Did Trump say that because he really doesn’t have tapes, or did he say that to shut Adam Schiff up?

If so, his little plan failed, just like all of Trump’s little plans fail. Schiff is ready to stand up straight and helicopter his great big subpoenas into Donald Trump’s throat. (DO YOU GET IT? BECAUSE “SUBPOENAS” SOUNDS LIKE “PENIS” AND HELICOPTERING IS A THING GUYS DO WITH THEIR PENIS, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE ADAM SCHIFF, ALLEGEDLY.)

God, we are idiots on Fridays:

Reps. Mike Conaway (R-Texas) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said in a joint statement the White House needs to clarify whether it has “recordings, memoranda, or other documents” — adding that they will consider using a “compulsory process” to ensure a satisfactory response. […]

The White House later sent Conaway and Schiff a letter referring them to Trump’s Tweet.

But the two lawmakers now say that’s not enough. […]

The pair said in their joint statement they have sent the White House a letter asking that it “fully comply” with their request.

Ooh, Mike Conaway is ready to play helicopter with his subpoenas too! We didn’t know Congressional Republicans were willing to do that to Republican presidents, but hey, it’s 2017, anything goes!

Mike Conaway also has huge subpoenas, allegedly.

So! Will the White House comply with their request now? Or will they wait for Adam Schiff and Mike Conaway to take Trump furniture shopping, with their subpoenises?

No clue, we just wanted to make a bunch of dick jokes about Adam Schiff’s subpoenas.

Subpoenas.

Penis.

THE END.

        I was in a Barnes and Noble last December, doing Christmas shopping, and I saw a kid’s book titled, “The American Presidents,” or some such. It had all their portraits laid out on the cover, ending in Trump. Seeing it laid out like that broke my heart.

  • calliecallie

    Sorry to nonsequitur such a glorious dick joke celebration, but just had to share that I saw an official communication from USDOT this week – logo and everything – that used the phrase “skin in the game” in it. As in, states and locals need to have more “skin in the game” when it comes to infrastructure investment. This is just not how official federal information is written, folks.

I’d call and extra $80B over the next decade having in the game skin, hair, nails and…is that a jaw bone? I think there’s even a tongue in there. what do they want? dick pics?

    • everstar

      Don’t state and local governments already pay for the majority of infrastructure work? How, precisely, would they get more invested in it? (I take your point about them not being able to write for shit as well, but I also just don’t understand what they’re saying.)

    Top Democratic operatives have offered to pay millions of dollars for unaired footage of Donald Trump on the set of “The Apprentice,” hoping to unearth another unscripted moment like the one that surfaced Friday from 2005, when Trump said he would grab women “by the pussy.”

    But it’s not just videos they should be looking for. “The Apprentice,” executive produced by Mark Burnett, had a transcript service. And on some occasions, transcribers captured moments that didn’t end up on air, according to multiple sources involved in the show.

    It’s not clear how many transcripts exist. Sources say that some transcribers occasionally stuck to what they felt would end up in the program, while others took notes of what was said, regardless of whether it would air.

            Florida hasnt responded yet, but most of the info is publicly available already, you can search it and find it. Well except the SSN info. Here is the link for Florida, most states have similar sites.

            But what they actually want to do (based on the people they have on the commission) is remove people from the voter rolls who vote against them.

    Explosive new details on Joeghazi!

    [Brzezinski] said that she had told Melania Trump about the [tightening skin under the neck] procedure when the couple stopped by Mar-a-Lago on New Year’s Eve. “The irony of it all is that Donald kept saying, ‘That’s incredible. You can’t even tell. Who did it? Who did it?’ He kept asking for the name of the doctor. He literally asked 10 times. ‘Is he down here? Who is he?’” Scarborough recalled. (A spokesman from the White House declined to comment.)

      before I left work, I read something about how maybe it was Jared who was the one doing the alleged blackmail, allegedly.

      • Shoto

        I’m guessing Vacuous Prissy Jared ain’t gonna do too well in federal prison.

        • mancityRed6

          depends on how much money he gets in his commissary account.

            Probably not. She might be into that.

          • mancityRed6

            I think he’d get accepted to his face just for his current position in the white house and that he’d maybe be able to influence something.

    I suppose there are a variety of defenses available here. Michael Flynn and his son can say that they never authorized Mr. Smith to use their names or their company in this manner. The Trump administration has already said that Mr. Smith had no role in their campaign and was acting as a free agent. At the time, even the Flynns were more informal advisers and supporters than salaried members of Trump’s campaign team. And, of course, Mr. Smith is now dead and unavailable to testify in court or provide further information to the Special Counsel.

    But the alleged involvement of the Flynns in this activity is close to a smoking gun when you consider what subsequently transpired. I won’t detail all of that here, except to remind you that Trump ignored all advice and warnings and made the elder Flynn his national security adviser, refused to fire him even when told he was likely compromised by the Russians, and fired James Comey after the FBI Director refused to follow his request to drop his investigation of Flynn.

    If nothing else, the case that Trump was attempting to conceal something and obstruct justice when he asked that Flynn’s connections to the Russians be dropped just got closer to a slam-dunk.

    A number of experts, as well as at least one state official, reacted with a mix of alarm and bafflement. Some saw political motivations behind the requests, while others said making such information public would create a national voter registration list, a move that could create new election problems.

    “You’d think there would want to be a lot of thought behind security and access protocols for a national voter file, before you up and created one,” said Justin Levitt, a professor at Loyola University School of Law and former Department of Justice civil rights official. “This is asking to create a national voter file in two weeks.”

        What appears to have happened is that the draft G20 action plan, which was being developed by a task force, was bullied by the US delegation into weakening lotsa positions.

        This dies not mean that Germany has approved such changes ( even though they’re current head of the G20 ) – and it doesn’t mean that the changes ( found in a May draft ) will even be presented to the G20 membership at the July meeting.

        [ Breitbart isn’t the only source of this story – it looks like they just took it from a European source – but the “headline” is very deceptive. If you read the piece, there’s no chance in hell that Germany is going to allow this to happen to the G20 action plan. ]

    I wonder how many Republicans are shitting their pants over having an actual lunatic running the country? Are they cool with it, because they’re going to get their tax cuts, or are they freaking the fuck out, like the rest of us? I know Miss Lindsey LOATHES Trump, because she can barely conceal her contempt. People may have forgotten this, but the fabulous Miss L. was the person responsible for hoisting Newt Gingrich out of Congress on his ass. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out she’s plotting to cut this bitch, too.

      • Vagenda and Pee-ara

        I know several people who voted for him, and think he’s doing a bang up job. Admittedly, they are idiots, but I would think at this point even the idiots would notice he’s a moron.

        Most of the country figured out Bush sucked, and he sucked WAY less than Trump. Bush was an embarrassment, but I’m not even sure there’s a word that’s been invented that describes Trump’s level of embarrassment to this country. If there is a word for Trump sized embarrassment, it’s probably German.

        • tomamitai

          By Bush I assume you mean Junior? He at least seemed to realize that he was out of his depth and left the hard decisions to competent subordinates. Cheetolini really believes he’s good at presidenting and that he’s a great communicator.

          • Vagenda and Pee-ara

            Yes, I meant the Shrubster. I think Bush was a bit more humble than Trump, but both of them share the same hubris that most people who inherit money and connections are cursed with. They’re born on third base, and think they hit a triple. I think when you grow up surrounded by wealth and privilege, it’s hard to see out of the bubble.

          • marshlc

            I work with preschoolers, and when I look at so much of Trump’s behaviour, all I can think is “He did NOT have a good nanny”. He exhibits so much of what we see when a three year old is the only grandchild on both sides. It’s really hard for those kids to learn that actions have consequences, and that they will be held accountable for their behaviour.

            Trump’s parents were well able to afford the kind of caregivers who could teach this to little Donnie, without being authoritarian and breaking his spirit. Doesn’t look like they had them, though. His lack of self control and pathetic need for reassurance and applause just cry out that he never got what he needed when he was little – to be loved more, and indulged less.

            My heart kinda breaks for the little boy he once was, but I haven’t much sympathy for the old man who has never bothered to mature past his three year old self, and who is now doing so much damage.

    • C4TWOMAN

      I think many of them made the same mistake they did when gunho for invading Iraq–they had an unrealistic idea of how easy it would be to manage Trump and how long it would take to “get something”.
      “Oh he’s a political naif in government. Sure he talked a big game, but once in office he’ll let us guide him”.

      He is literally their Frankenstein monster. The best and fastest way to get rid of him is to work with the Dems, but, much like Trump is too proud to resign, they’re too proud to accept help from the “enemy”.
      The fact is, if they did that, they have become to dependent on Tea Party alt-right wankers, would lose reelection, if not out right, then to their base supporting some third party wanker, giving 2018 to the Dems on a gold platter.

      So this play makes sense–if all one is concerned about is keeping control and reelection.

      • Vagenda and Pee-ara

        I think the GOP has painted itself in to a corner. They know Trump is an asshole, but they’re afraid of his base. Unfortunately, they’ve alienated most of the sane people away from their party.

    As I see it there are only two possibilities: the recordings exist or they do not exist. If they don’t exist, why wouldn’t the White House just say “there are no recordings”. Therefore, I’m leaning toward the position that they do (or did) exist.

    The two most compelling reasons for the White House to refrain from admitting this would be: 1) they contain material unfavorable to Trump, 2) they’ve already been destroyed (because of #1) and if that got out the optics would be disastrous.
