Impeachment Cover Up Reminiscent Of GOP Kavanaugh Ploy
Quote:
The revelations in John Bolton‘s book, reported in today’s New York Times, bring to mind the previous scandal surrounding a White House cover-up.
When Brett Kavanaugh was nominated, there were hundreds of thousands of pages of White House documents from Kavanaugh’s time as an adviser to George W. Bush with regard to policies in Iraq and Afghanistan. Trump ordered those documents locked down, and Republicans in the Senate went along with him; those documents were never allowed in the Senate hearings and Kavanaugh thus became a Justice of the Supreme Court.
Now we learn that Trump and his White House have known since December 30, when Bolton submitted his book to the White House for vetting before publication, that the White House has known he was going to reveal that as late as August Trump was still trying to withhold aid to Ukraine until they announced that they were looking into Joe and Hunter Biden.
Much like with Justice Kavanaugh, the Republicans in the Senate are now as much on trial as is Trump. If they continue to refuse witnesses and documentary evidence, they may well lose in the November elections. If they do allow witnesses and evidence, it could be the end of the Trump presidency. It’s getting interesting.

In Defense Of Public Service (Cedric Alexander)
Quote:
When those we elect descend into partisan tribalism, criminal malfeasance, and emulation of foreign autocracies and oligarchies, Cedric Alexander [[author of Defense of Public Service) says it is the unelected apolitical "fourth branch" of government--our nation's public servants, civil servants, and first responders--who must save the nation.
From the publisher:
Alexander, a former deputy mayor, police chief, and CNN commentator argues that these people do not constitute a nefarious "deep state" pursuing a hidden agenda. They are the analysts, scientists, lawyers, accountants, educators, consultants, enforcers of regulations, and first responders of every kind who keep the country running and its people safe. Alexander recounts the evolution of the professional civil service as an antidote to widespread cronyism, offers examples of how it has served as a bulwark against powerful corrupting influences and describes the role it can play in bringing our badly divided society together. To the general public, many of these 22 million people remain invisible and their contributions are hidden. But now is the time to make the invisible visible.
