Rep. Peter King (R-NY) Has No Problem with Salahis Not Testifying to House Committee

[oldtownkid]

this is bullshit... there's a million things going on right now more important than these party crashers and this is what we're wasting our time on?

[ETericET]

That's what I was thinking. There are real problems people need to know about.

[Richardgwm]

What is the big deal? The Secret Service is doing a great job.

Heck, it isn't like the Secret Service has allowed people to bring high powered rifles to presidential appearances.

[fishhead06]

God forbid they should spend time, money, and resources on doing actual work.

[skyzefawlun]

how about we subpoena Bush and Cheney for their war crimes and investigate that instead of this MASSIVE DISTRACTION.

[PersonalJesus348]

but that's the point

[junkforkaryn]

the government and it's media arm can't distract us with shiney new things anymore because we fucking can't afford them. so now they throw balloon boy and the salahis and tiger woods and the rest of the brain corroding trash at us, instead. frankly, i'd rather go buy something.

[RobertSeattle]

What a colossal waste of time.

[matman125]

I'd give Mrs. Salahi a supenis.

[bleunt]

Why is this such a huge deal?

[KataVideo]

why are these people not in jail?

why are they in a position to refuse a congressional "invitation"?

[kaysandesses]

Exactly. I guess if they can't get an "invitation" they can settle for a supeoena.

[njcarlos1]

Where do you actually live? Lmao. Relax.

[MageSutek]

This is a good question. They should be in jail and would be were it up to the authorities. However, the system must keep things moving. If they refuse to appear to testify before Congress by invitation they will be subpoenaed. If they refuse the subpoena, they will be held in contempt of Congress and jailed. Then they can cool their heels in federal prison until they decide that it is probably best to follow the rules, despite their affinity for wanting to break them.

[aquamadman]

You can lie us into a war, out CIA operatives, give no bid contracts to your friends and fire government lawyers for politics but god damn it, if you sneak into a party we are going to raise holy hell and investigate and prosecute you!!!!

[kaysandesses]

The point of the investigation by the Homeland Security Committee is determine how this breach of security happened, who is responsible, and to prevent it happening again. Presidential security is of extreme importance whether you like the particular President or not.

[aquamadman]

so then lying us into a war and all of the other crimes commited by the last admin are ok then? dont you think that that means homeland security has it's priorities mixed up? in addition, the president security does not lay with homeland but with the treasury and the secret service. i stand by what i said earlier, this is insignificant compared with the crimes of bush and his cronies, their crimes put our country at risk, not a couple of media whores.

[kaysandesses]

Sure, those other things should be in investigated but few of them will. Politics, you know.

[MageSutek]

Civics lesson circa C.E. 2001: presidential security falls under the purview of Department of Justice. The Department of Justice falls under the purview of the Department of Homeland Security. The Secret Service falls under the purview of the Department of Justice. Therefore, presidential security falls under the auspices of the Department of Homeland Security. Not sure who told you that the Department of the Treasury had a hand in protecting Obama. When in doubt, put it under the DHS heading.

[MageSutek]

Who gives a damn who these people are? The idea into the hearings is to resolve how the "slick Salahis" got into the White House despite the "air tight" security. Someone's head is going to roll. Best to resolve things before we send people to burn precipitously. The integrity of presidential security is paramount and is at the forefront of this investigation. Mr. and Mrs. Salahi are fools for pulling this stunt, and in the end, will be collateral damage.

[Melpheos1er]

seriously ? They dont have anything else to do ?

[bigc028282]

Sounds a lot like the BUSHTARDs.

[tonycapricorny]

I like to move forward with my sub-penis.

[Watchout5]

So they can go after these guys but not Rove? How useless.

[wimscheers]

America has gone mad. MAD. War! Recession! Torture! Global Warming! I know, let's hold congressional hearings over a prank!

[mintvagoo]

Conservatives are as useful as a used Kleenex.

[biggesttrucker]

if you blow your nose on one side, you can cum on the other

[KataVideo]

what the hell is bill plante's haircut supposed to be?

[kaysandesses]

Hey what can you expect for $5 at the corner barber shop?

[KataVideo]

it's like he's got a early 90's kevin kostner thing going on
