Senate Lawmakers Fall All Over Themselves To Deep-Six Ethics Investigation Into Trey Paradee. Nobody wants to touch this b/c virtually all of them have dubious ethics. BTW, Cathy Cloutier is unavailable for comment once again. Must be an election year. BTWBTW, I’d like to know what impact, if any, that Jacqueline Paradee Mette, who is Paradee’s sister and Carney’s deputy legal counsel, had on Carney’s signing of the bill. But, as usual, Carney ain’t talking. The secrecy of his, pardon the expression, Administration is one of the most under-reported Delaware stories of the past few years. This stinks of Delaware Way casual corruption.
Barr Looks Ready To Override IG’s Report. This is what happens when the AG of the United States is a criminal:
Attorney General William P. Barr has told Justice Department officials that he is skeptical of a conclusion by the department’s inspector general that the F.B.I. had sufficient information to open the investigation into whether any Trump associates conspired with Russia during the 2016 presidential race, according to two people familiar with the conversations.
Should Mr. Barr rebut the inspector general’s assessment, due out next week in a highly anticipated report, Mr. Trump’s allies will most likely use that pushback to dismiss the work itself. The review is expected to contradict some of the unfounded theories about the 2016 election that the president and his allies have promoted.
Mr. Barr’s doubts are significant because they could be perceived as the nation’s top law enforcement officer siding with Mr. Trump, who has long cast doubt on the legitimacy of the Russia investigation, over law enforcement officials.
Why is Speaker Pelosi Holding Up Passage Of Pro-Union Bill? If The House D leader sides with the Chamber over unions, then what’s the point? Meanwhile, she wants to get new trade treaty passed despite a lack of worker protections in the bill. You know, it needs to pass in order to protect the ‘moderate’ members of her Caucus.
ALEC, Rethug ‘Bill Mill’, Accused Of Pushing White Supremacist Policies. Heads-up to Delaware political reporters: the annual ALEC get-together starts tomorrow. It’s worth knowing what Delaware legislators and lobbyists are attending. Gee, wonder if Sara Gamard will use the term ‘far right’ to describe them. Actually, I don’t.
