Not Being A Scientist Wasn’t Enough To Keep Sam Clovis From Being ‘Chief Scientist’ But Treason Was A Bridge Too Far
Sam Clovis has formally withdrawn from the race to be the Department of Agriculture's chief scientist.
Clovis was the Trump campaign's former national co-chair and there are couple of common sense reasons why he might have decided that the position doesn't suit him.
First of all, he doesn't posses any actual academic credentials in science or agriculture. So that being the case, maybe top scientist in the literal Department of Agriculture isn't a good fit. Earlier today, WaPo published a let
Would this be the first or last time this has occurred on either side of the fence?
and how is that relevant?
if someone breaks into your house tomorrow, is that ok because other people have broken into houses before?
In the Cheeto bullpen, you can take your pick: (A) self-dealing, unqualified creeps with screaming conflicts of interest (Mnuchin, Ross, Cohn, Price) or (B) unqualified, talentless numbskulls (DeVos, Pruitt, Perry, Carson).
Clovis fits neatly into group (B).
Or, really, (C): rewarded for doing something illegal on behalf of Drumpf/RNC. Just wait for it.
The justice fork is ready for insertion in to the Thanksgiving Turkey – that is Trump – both he and his largely unqualified administration (Clovis being one of many) as they have long been “done” – and are now being burned by Mueller. There now should be zero doubt there was extensive and broad ranging collusion between the Trump campaign and Putin’s Russia. One can only guess what kind of quid quo pros that Putin will require of Trump. The level of influence by Russia trolls in social media is staggering. If a legal case had this much media interference – a miss trial would have to be declared long ago. The question as to why the 2016 Presidential election has not been declared an illegal election – hangs in the air like a pregnant and flatulent turkey – with only the self-interest of Senior Republicans keeping this near flightless Russian Trump bird aloft.
The question now is begged as to just how far the Russian collusion intent goes into the Republican Party and especially its senior leadership. Should we just address them now as “Russia-publicans?” We clearly have a Russian Puppet Republican President occupying the Oval Office whose presidency was bought and paid for largely by Russia. While it is undeniable that the US has been involved in the political engineering of many countries in its past – that is a different problem, than having the US ruled by a foreign asset who has clearly and openly favored Russian interests since coming into office. Both problems (Trump’s Russian engineered Presidency, and the campaign and election system/the people running it that enabled this breech of laws and Constitution) need to be addressed, Until it is American democracy if not dead – is a total sham. Our current illegal President and the internationally monetized campaign and election process/industry that brought him to Office should be our first correction priority – as soon as Trump the Russian Puppet is removed.
