As Director of the
Office of Government Ethics, Walter Shaub clashed with President Trump on a
number of issues before resigning in July 2017.
He obviously was an Obama Administration holdover.
When the president
announced his plan to place his business interests in a trust controlled by his
sons Donald Jr. and Eric, Shaub carped he did not sufficiently distance himself
from his family’s business operations.
There was no corroborating evidence for his absurd claim. None.
Days after he left his
federal government job at OGE he became Senior Director at Campaign Legal
Center. He believes the ethics
regulations for lawmakers should be stronger.
The problem, however, is his notion of “stronger” seems applicable only
to Republicans in general and President Trump in particular.
We didn’t hear anything
from this tub of lard who hasn’t burned a single calorie since 1991 until Rep.
Matt Gaetz (R-FL) appeared on CNN’s “New Day” when he told Chris Cuomo “I call
on my Republican colleagues to join me in the firing of Bob Mueller.” He believes the special counsel investigating
the Trump campaign needs to “put up or shut up.” Gaetz, a member of the House Judiciary
Committee, has introduced
a resolution to remove Mueller based on the belief the ongoing
investigation has been tainted.
On Friday, our man
Walter took
to Twitter to say, “Make a plan folks.
Be ready to take to the street.
This is an attack on our Republic.”
“The coordinated effort
by President Trump and his surrogates to discredit the Mueller investigation
raises serious alarms,” said Shaub in a statement on Friday. “Rather than making themselves
complicit in this assault on the rule of law, Members of Congress should send a
clear message to the President that firing Mueller is a red line he must not
cross.”
Not satisfied to just
post those comments on the Campaign Legal Center’s website, Lumpy escalated the
narrative on Twitter writing, “This weekend I’m stocking up on portable
phone chargers, warm clothes, & gear needed for when we take the streets.
I’m concerned the assault on the rule of law is coming over the holidays when
we’re distracted. It‘ll be a defining moment for the Republic.” He also alerted his
followers he had just registered to join an event to say Nobody Is Above
the Law, a group associated with George
Soros’ MoveOn.org.
There will be immediate
protests in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and France in response to what the group
calls a “constitutional crisis for our country” in the event Mueller is fired.
Looks like Lumpy is
going all prepper on us. He’s preparing
for an apocalypse, yet he faints when he climbs the stairs. I bet his bunker is filled floor to ceiling
with ten tons of chocolate and an 18-wheeler’s worth of Twinkies.
His tweet drew some
blowback prompting
him to respond, “This tweet apparently triggered the tiki torch crowd. My
theory is people with violent tendencies will hear violence in the language of
peaceful protest. But you literally have to agree to the policy of nonviolence
and complying with all law enforcement orders to sign up, so...”
The revolution will not be televised. It will be tweeted. https://t.co/5iemSOXjWa— Jim Treacher is a dumb pseudonym (@jtLOL) December 16, 2017
