    Have you ever listened to Grassley talk? I heard him on the Senate floor when I visited Washington D.C. The Senate floor was empty. I could see why nobody wanted to listen to him. He talks like the most ignorant person you've ever heard. I swear I'll bet he could barely tie his shoes.

    I agree that he lied repeatedly, but subpoenaed Congressional testimony under oath is not something you can take back.

    Peter Strzok can run, but he can no longer hide.

    More importantly, Democratic swamp continues to obliviously seal their own fate by publicly defending exposed traitors to America.

    November will see Dems losing more seats, and what tiny hope they had to re-design the party's anti-American image in time for 2020 will be gone.

    Could Sacha Baron Cohen’s Stunt with Sarah Palin Land Him in Jail?
    by Ronn Blitzer | 12:05 pm, July 12th, 2018

    Sacha Baron Cohen is getting plenty of attention for stunts he apparently pulled for his latest undercover comedy show, “Who is America?” One in particular, which targeted former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, may turn out to be illegal.

    According to Palin, the comedian posed as a wounded veteran in order to arrange an interview with the former Alaska governor. Palin said in a Facebook post that she traveled cross-country for the interview. After finding the conversation to be full of “sarcasm” and “disrespect,” Palin said she “finally had enough and literally, physically removed my mic and walked out.”

    The extent of Cohen’s deception is unclear, as the show has yet to air, but depending on how he held himself out, he could be in trouble.

    The Stolen Valor Act of 2013 makes it a crime to lie about being a recipient of military decorations or medals “with intent to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit.” A stunt for highly lucrative television show could certainly count as a “tangible benefit.” A previous version of the Act from 2005 had much broader restriction against lying about past military service, but the Supreme Court said it violated the First Amendment in an opinion written by the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy.

    If Cohen was wearing anything meant to look like military decorations, or if he told Palin he was a recipient, he could be in violation. Penalties include fines and/or imprisonment for up to a year.

    If Cohen didn’t go that far, and only said he was a veteran, he should be in the clear, since the Supreme Court specifically said the First Amendment protects such speech.

    Cohen has a history of dressing up in character in order to fool people into granting interviews and saying potentially embarrassing things. Past characters include Ali G, Borat, and Bruno. With each of these characters appearing on television and in their own movies, Cohen apparently had to find another approach for his new show, which premiers Sunday on Showtime.

    Sounds like Borat is in pretty big trouble. Would you say that crime is more, or less serious, than, say, acting as a foreign agent while employed as National Security Advisor?

    While it's certain that's exactly what Susan Rice did, she has not yet been tried and convicted.

    As for the legal severity scale for various crimes against America I guess you'd have to googoo it.

    I regard all acts of treason pretty much the same.

    Or indicted, for that matter. What foreign power does the fever swamp think Rice was working for?

    I will googoo it.

    With blind adoration, apparently.

    I once had cocktails with Trent Lott's cousin. He was drunker than a skunk and crashing our party at the Heathman hotel. He was also running for the state legislature and asking for donations. I think he was drunk and just really wanted to talk.

    It was later that evening that I met and talked to one of my favorite senators, Mark Hatfield. Wonderful man and great conversation. I told him that I had attended his talk at Tektronix years earlier on high tech and morality and how much I emjoyed it. He told me I had just made his day. All these years later and I remember it almost in detail.

    The “news” on both sides has gotten so far into their agenda’s, I have a really hard time knowing what to believe, it’s a jumbled mess, and the saddest part of all to me is how few outlets seem at all worried about the truth.

    It's funny how people can claim "FAKE NEWS" whilst simultaneously disseminating anything from this source...
