Current Senator and former-Attorney General Josh Hawley (r) is publicly whining about an audit released on Thursday about a portion of Hawley’s (r) short tenure as Missouri Attorney General.

From the audit [pdf]:

…In a December 31, 2019, letter (Appendix I, page 435) in response to seeing a draft copy of this report, the AGO formally objected to the inclusion of interview transcripts in this report, and stated the inclusion of these transcripts would be a disclosure of audit working papers, and therefore, a felony violation of Chapter 29, RSMo. The SAO disagrees with this conclusion. Objections to the inclusion of interview transcripts and audit communications citing Chapter 29, RSMo, are without merit. The confidentiality provisions of Chapter 29 are intended to protect the SAO’s working papers from public disclosure. The interpretation that those confidentiality provisions are intended to keep the SAO from disclosing information obtained during the course of the audit is at odds with Chapter 29, RSMo, and Yellow Book requirements, which both require a report of information obtained during an audit be made public. In addition, the statement that the inclusion of working papers as appendices to a public report is unprecedented is not accurate. Including information obtained during an audit as appendices is very common and not unique to this administration. Appendices have been part of audit reports issued by the SAO for decades…

Yesterday afternoon, from Josh Hawley (r):

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
Hey liberal dark money group, you forgot to mention @clairecmc is on your board! But thx for reminding everyone that this attack was Democrat sleaze from Day 1. Now disproven TWICE by two separate reviews. But your Dem auditor is now under investigation for a FELONY. Good luck
[….]
1:34 PM · Feb 8, 2020

Nervous?

You know, all-caps on the Internet is the equivalent of hysterical shouting or the wit and wisdom of someone in junior high school. So, which is it?

The Ivy League vision of a flatbed truck.

Claire McCaskill still makes you nervous, eh. She did say, “…Now I know he went to Yale, I think, or Harvard, one of those, one of those fancy ones…” Maybe you should ask for your tuition money back.

There was much hilarity in the responses:

Dark money is terrible. Josh, where’s your bill to end it?

Senator Hawley, Missourians would appreciate your support in ending dark money.

Will you sign the petition to support House Bill 1981, the End Dark Money Act?

Psst…he won’t.

So now fighting for Ethical behavior is “Dark” to Republicans?!?
Good to put that out in the Open there Josh!

Evan McMullin is also on the board of CREW (Center for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington). He served as a policy for the House Republican Conference in the U.S. House of Representatives. He was Republican right up until the point the Republican Party lost their minds.

What the hell happened to “Ending the cycle of bitterness” you were talking about earlier this week?

Uh, that was just talk, until he got nervous? Just spitballing here.

The alleged felony is that the auditor went ahead and released the report on Hawley’s malfeasance, even though Hawley’s equally corrupt successor as AG claimed it was somehow privileged or confidential. Two things Republicans excel at are committing crimes and covering them up.

Have fun, but know this: Republicans are united and EMPOWERED. We’re fighting back and exposing the corruption, and the slander used to cover it up.
It used to be so easy, didn’t it?
Not anymore. Enjoy the next 12 years with a Republican President.

Well, okay?

Funny how ethics is also a bad thing for Republicans. You didn’t want witnesses or documents in a trial and now you really want no oversight or ethics?

Way to take the “Show Me” out of our state motto.

We want leadership for Missouri not lawless servitude. #resign

After distracting from Trump’s illegal impounding and election interference with calls for irrelevant witnesses, the “Constitutional Conservative” proceeds to distract from his ethical issues with fallacious ad hominem attacks.

No respect for law, Constitution, or logic.

Actually, he calls himself a “constitutional lawyer” or something like that. “…Now I know he went to Yale, I think, or Harvard, one of those, one of those fancy ones…”

Dark money, you say? Well, pray tell where was your dark money concerns when you were AG and Greitens and of his dark money shenanigans were in charge? You’re a disgrace.

I read the article and it said it’s hard to tell what you did because you used a private email server. What do we know about people who use private email servers?

The great thing about audits is that they are not partisan. Numbers don’t lie like republicans do.

Facts matter, tho’. You used out of state political consultants to raise your profile in MO. You and your staff used private email and messaging. You used state resources for political purposes. You’re just mad you got called out and caught using GOP dirty tricks, sir.

And on and on…

Yesterday evening, from Josh Hawley (r):

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
When you have to break the law to try to score political points, you know you’re desperate. Given the evidence of rampant political manipulation in her office, Galloway should recuse herself from all audits if she’s going to keep running for Governor #mogov #moleg
[….]
5:08 PM · Feb 6, 2020

Says the ladder climber.

“Evidence”? Since when has evidence been something Josh Hawley (r) cared about?

“The most dangerous place to stand in Washington D.C. is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone” – Charles P. Pierce

As always, there was much hilarity in the responses:

Yeah Josh, speaking of breaking the law, where do you come down on Trump stealing money from his foundation, admitting guilt in a court of law, and being fined $2,000,000? Is that ok with you? If so, WTF did they teach you in law school?

Chutzpah.

Oh, lookit. Newly made man in the Trump Crime Syndicate has thoughts about ethics. You can take your thoughts about what Auditor Galloway should or shouldn’t do and stuff them. Republicans are just crazy, thinking that anyone believes anything they say anymore.

Please! You looked the other way at the rule of law when you acquitted your dear leader refused to allow evidence into the trial. Now you invoke it for your own political purposes. All I can say is that this isn’t surprising. You’re a hypocrite & we’re paying attention.

“When you have to break the law to try to score political points, you know you’re desperate” pretty much summarizes you and the rest of the GOP under Trump.

Shall we start calling you Josh the Desperate? Desperate Hawley?

Works for us.

I think you have already burned all your “rule of law” capital on the president’s get out of jail free card.

IOKIYAR*

* it’s okay if you’re a republican

Your complete lack of self awareness in the phrasing of this tweet is absolutely astounding!

It’s amazing, He does know the Head Grifter.

Dem corruption?? Freaking hilarious!
Remind me again How many Dem associates pled guilty or are serving/ have served/ will serve prison time??
Meanwhile at least 6 Trump associates have/will.
But please tell us all about the Dem corruption!

Lol. Nope, you can never allege political wrongdoing of another after letting Trump off.

isn’t that what you’ve been doing for the last 3 years? what a buffoon

No wonder you voted to acquit tRump. You’re made in the same mold as he is.

When I read the first sentence of your tweet, Senator Thirsty, I thought somehow a conscience has emerged and you regretted your vote for a corrupt acquittal of Trump.
I see it’s just leftover flyover-state corruption baggage that isn’t resolved.
Carry on.

Typical Republican modus operandi. Break the law, get caught, claim partisanship!

“When you have to break the law to try to score political points, you know you’re desperate.”

That’s the truest thing you’ve ever said about Donald Trump.

Too much transparency for you?

So your buddy @GovParsonMO is nervous about the support Ms. Galloway is generating among voters here in MO?

Says the Sycophant Senator whose took dark money and literally had his staff using secret messaging while he “investigated” Greitens for doing the same.

You may be guilty……..so don’t LIE

Looking at cover ups on national level is embolding you to pursue same on state level. You’re as corrupt as your idol.

For some reason, Trump and get away with lying to people. I suggest you not try it. That’s actually friendly advice.

You’re an embarrassment to our state. We deserve better leaders.

*When I had to break the law to score a political position, you know I’m desperate.
There, I fixed it for you.
#showmeethics

You swore under oath that you would listen impartially to the house managers and yet you didn’t, so there’s that.

There’s that.

“The stew of high intellect and low principle is ghastly. “ Love that quote about you, so fitting.

You voted to acquit a criminal president despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, you are not allowed to pretend to have integrity, morals, honor or a backbone.

You voted for the presidency having absolute immunity.

Why did you vote for a King?

Seriously! You just voted to acquit a lawless president and you’re calling for Galloway to recuse herself. You covered for Greiten and his sleezy blackmail as you were climbing the ladder to your next position. I feel that you’re the desperate one, clutching on to Trump. #Corrupt

“When you have to break the laws to score political points, you know your desperate.”

Cool admission here, you corrupt hack.

Dude…you just voted to acquit President Trump for irrefutable facts that he attempted to coerce/bribe an ally by withholding military aid unless there was an announcement of an investigation. You are an embarrassment to our state, and I am optimistic you will end up I prison.

We don’t live in a just world.

You’d know a lot about selling your soul to score political points.

Stop telling us what Galloway’s audit says. Your version is unrecognizable. And we can read it for ourselves. We know what it says.

Bad faith Senator says what?

And on and on…

A portion of letter to the Attorney General’s Office from the State Auditor’s Office, the entire letter included in the released audit:

…Given the irreconcilable conflict created by your (1): taking a position against the authority of the State Auditor’s Office; (2) attempting to give legal advice and direct the audit of the Attorney General’s Office; and (3) communicating your position against the authority of this office to a third-party, the Attorney General’s Office cannot serve as attorney for this office in any case related to its core audit function…

State Auditor Nicole Galloway – [2017 file photo]

From a personal social media account of Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt (r):

Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
As the Chief Legal Officer of the state of Missouri – the AG’s Office has repeatedly expressed serious concerns about the political nature of @AuditorGalloway’s audit of fmr AG @HawleyMO’s Office & the unprecedented release of transcripts likely in violation of state law. #moleg
4:51 PM · Feb 6, 2020

Wait, one would think that the Attorney General of Missouri would use an official channel of his office, like say, a social media account under his name as Attorney General, to express a valid point law about an audit concerning his office.

Nope, that would be this one:

So, the original Tweet on the personal account (and several following up) is, wait for it…political.

There is much hilarity in the responses to his short series of personal Tweets:

So the guy that ran the treasury is covering for the AG he replaced when the former AG went to the Senate after inappropriate use of campaign funds? I’d ask who’s running this shitshow, but it’s clearly the guy the current Senator just voted to acquit.

Maybe then-AG Hawley shouldn’t have committed ethics violations if he didn’t want a light shone on them.

She did her job. She follows the Sunshine law, unlike republicans who repeatedly use apps like Confide and taxpayer funds for political games.

Is it a violation or is it likely a violation? Because you started this tweet referring to yourself as the “Chief Legal Officer” of the state and you ended it seeming confused about the law.

With William Barr as the AG of the land, it becomes difficult to tell which AGs are trustworthy, and which ones aren’t.

I can’t tell if I should believe you or not, Eric Schmitt.

Nothing to say about the likely violation of state law by Hawley?

I’m sorry, but the entire GOP has forfeited any rights to moral outrage about other people *appearing* to break the law or behaving unthically. Under your party’s own rules as applied to Trump, she cannot be guilty of anything unless and until she fully confesses under oath.

So is subverting law enforcement to threaten political rivals just a thing all republicans do now?

You’re a joke

This is bull! So @AuditorGalloway could never send a forged check to a local prosecutor or include any meaningful factual detail in a final audit?? The law violation here is that the AGO’s office didn’t Mirandize these people before they were questioned about potential crimes

Bulllshit pal. Are u really trying to intimidate @nicolergalloway?! She’ll chew u up & spit u out. U know she’s a CPA? Those types are detailed oriented to a fault. I can assure u she did everything above board-including the audit which was requested by Ashcroft & req’d by law.

Hey as the “Chief Legal Officer” of the state who the fuck knows whether this was a violation of the law or not if it isn’t you?

This sounds like you slinging mud without having the fucking stones to charge her with a crime.

Put up or shut the fuck up.

In response to the previous comment:

Amen brother. Talk about playing politics and inappropriate public statements.

And, some of the subsequent responses to one of Eric Schmitt’s (r) additional Tweets on the subject:

Hawley covers for Greitens. Schmitt covers for Hawley. Republicans of a corrupt feather.

Ridiculous. @nicolergalloway has the highest level of integrity, and all you can whine about is confidentiality? This is the Show-Me State, buddy. Sounds like you’ve got a corruption problem, not a confidentiality problem.

Nah. Nicole has always gone after grift no matter where she finds it. Just so happens she found it in Joshy’s office.

Shocking, to find Republicans misbehaving. So out of character.

That last part was probably sarcasm.

Yea, so what are you going to do about it? Send a strongly worded letter and hope it doesn’t happen again? it’ easy to apologize if there are no consequences.

Nah, just fling crap against the wall from a personal social media account and hope (probably correctly) that old media will buy it. Suckers.

Government is not supposed to operate in secret. Ever heard of the Sunshine Law? You and your party are so afraid of sunshine, I’m beginning to think you are vampires. You share other traits of vampires too.

Eric we know you don’t give a crap if Hawley violated the law. Your phoney outrage is ridiculous. There are professional standards that CPA’s MUST follow and there have not been problems with her audits in the past. You are covering for Hawley Shame in you!

As a Missouri resident, if she broke the law, arrest her ass and throw it in the pokey!

Calling the bluff.

So basically you’re attempting to squash documents just like the sham impeachment trial?

We pay the bills in this state. I want to know who’s crooked and who’s not.

Even if it is the president’s ass kissing senator.

Not working buddy. You are dirty as hell and you should resign.

Harm because it exposed the frat boy? Typical republicans. Don’t do what’s right. Do what you can get away with. @HawleyMO @nicolergalloway

Good government? Really? You really went there after all the bizarre crap MO has been thru with the Republican Party! Your statement comes from a weak position! Now we got a report that @HawleyMO mis-used our govt for his political party?And you’re worried about hiding that fact?

There you go.

And around your neck (like an albatross) in November.[….]

The saddest thing is your glee. It shows a complete lack of respect for a significant portion of your constituents. This is the very definition of partisanship. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds much like the President’s respect for the law.

“Acquitted” doesn’t always mean “innocent.”

You may be ok with potus soliciting foreign help in upcoming election and withholding congressional approved aid to try and get said help, but WE THE PEOPLE are not ok with it.
#FireVicky
#CorruptGOP

Orange God will be happy you shirked your duty. #GOPtrumpSycophants

Save those! The Trump Crime Syndicate can use them as blankets in their jail cells once Daddy Don is out of office here soon.

Oh wow, it sure is impressive that a slim majority of senators, all from the president’s own party, decided against removing him from office. What an accomplishment.

Good reminder that senate republicans failed to do their jobs and uphold their pledge to be impartial jurors.

Also, in every history book…

I enjoy giving money to the strong, smart, principled lady who will take your office from you. Enjoy it while it lasts. You’ll actually have to work for that seat next time

Political fear is a strong thing!

Republicans worship a man above the constitution. Republicans are corrupt af. Don’t be like republicans. #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Also from the WP (on your desk) The WH is now sending around anti-Romney talking points, including:
•Romney’s decision was unsurprising as this display of self-serving political expedience has come to define his career.
•Romney has a long history of flip-flopping.

It was a fake trial, resulting in a fake acquittal. Valueless, really. I’m voting for @LynzforCongress to get someone who understands the law.

#impeachedforever

Cult of Trump

Still IMPEACHED!

That you are proud of this is profoundly sad

A travesty. I hope you will be held accountable for the part you played.

And still guilty.

In the trash this morning…

Yes, Vicky, your tribe won. America lost.

I question your understanding of the events ma’am. You seem to be celebrating a party and president who was impeached and will remain forever impeached. Acquittal was publicly assured before the articles found their way to the Senate. This should embarrass you and the GOP.

Not surprising, when you have a fixed jury.

Good people don’t defend a bad person. You are not a good person

Vicky thinks it’s appropriate for a sitting president to use congressionally allocated aid as leverage to a coerce a FOREIGN GOVERNMENT into interfering in a US election for his benefit.

Vicky is unAmerican.

Remember, ‘Not Guilty’ is not the same as ‘Innocent’. It means the case wasn’t proved beyond a reasonable doubt, not that the accused didn’t do it. There just wasn’t enough evidence to warrant a conviction. And, how do you think that happened?

Uh, they refused to look at any evidence? Just spitballing here…

I can see you doing high kicks cheering on dear leader as he starts extorting more countries to meddle in our elections. But this means you get a few more farm subsidy checks! Congrats!

#ForeverImpeached. And he set a new record. The greatest bipartisan vote for conviction and removal in our history. What a winner you are kowtowing to, ya coward.

I thought the media was fake and against our dear leader?

How are you not sick of Trump’s behavior?

And you are okay with this? Why are you supporting such a vile, incompetent, hateful, lawless person? Seriously, as a constituent and business owner in your district, I am ashamed of the “leadership” in this country. It is disgraceful.

Shame on your party for doing this to America. I hope you are voted out.

This is not a good thing, Vicky. Uphold the constitution or we’ll find someone who will.

Hey Hartzler! President Trump: “I don’t like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong. Nor do I like people who say ‘I pray for you’ when they know that that’s not so. So many people have been hurt and we can’t let that go on.”

It all depends on whose ox is being gored, eh?

Don’t be a partisan hack. Don’t be Vicky.

It’s in her nature.

Some of the responses:

Ok. Where is your proposal to protect people with pre-existing conditions?

Trumps in court right now to remove that, so Senator Joke Hawley won’t go against his party. America be damned, Hawleys gonna kiss him some orange trumpy ass. #HawleysATraitor

Get your mouth off the President’s ass and grow a backbone.

How dare you disrespect a wounded vetran. You have every right to disagree with anyone but ni right to disrespect them this is not one of you housewives reality shows stop your trash talk

Uh…

Blah Blah ….

If you want to end the “cycle of bitterness” then stop using terms like “The Dems”.

What foreign nations are you going to use for your next campaign?

…umm…the people’s priorities were that you call witnesses. You blew off our priorities, pal.

P. S. It’s galling that you say “it’s time to end this cycle” while you yourself perpetuate it.

Might want to drop a note to the #ImpeachedPresident about your *concerns* .

That would be great! Does this mean you’re going to stop trying to belittle the other side of the aisle in your tweets and host some town halls to share a vision of unity and progress with your constituents?

How do you know what the people’s priorities are when you never meet with your constituents?

Can you list my priorities? I am your constituent. Hint…you’re suing to take away one of them.

I listened to Senator Romney and I listened to you. Enough said.

And…you could have begun listening to the American people by voting to allow the witnesses that 75% of Americans were asking for. You clearly only care about listening to a certain demographic.

ROMNEY: “Were I to ignore the evidence that has been presented and disregard what I believe my oath and the constitution demands of me for the sake of a partisan end, it would, I fear, expose my character to history’s rebuke and the censor of my own conscience.”

Watch Mitt’s speech and the way he voted.
How craven you are.

I, too, wish to turn to the future of voting you out of office for this embarrassing behavior.

#sycophantsenator

I believe this will be possible when Trump is no longer dividing our nation.

You, sir, are not worthy of being in the same room with #MittRomney.

Our priorities are having a president who obeys the law and does not lie about literally everything.

We can’t rebuild if you allow our president to deconstruct our society piece by piece. He shows he really doesn’t care about us in his recent tweet saying the Chiefs were in KS!! Seriously! He doesn’t care! He is all show and no knowledge! Unfit! and you will be too!

you mean #trump’s base….. everybody else you say is the enemy

From the dude that is trying like hell to get rid of safeguards for preexisting conditions

He literally said to a reporter after a townhall, “I believe insurance companies should be able to charge more for preexisting conditions.”

coward

Romney made you look small.

You are trying to take away people’s ACA healthcare.

Hack.

Respectfully, eat turds, man.

So, what ladder are you going to try to climb next? Aiming to be the next #MoscowMitch?

Ok then!! How about holding town halls? With “the people”? Hahahahaha Right!!!!! It’d be nice, wouldn’t it? Oh well, maybe we could be rich lobbyists and get a meeting!!!

Coward.

I have no interest is anything you have to say…you deny the truth and therefore I can’t trust you.

Congratulations on the cover up! And thanks for letting your constituents not hear all of the evidence. Thanks for never working with us too, BTW!! Well done. I can’t wait to see what Trump will get away with next because he’s totally above the law! Wish I could be that. GFY.

I’ll remember your vote on this. You’ll never get my vote again.

ALL of the people Josh? Or just the ones whose backs you use to climb the ladder?

Come to MO and hold a town hall with your constituents…blue and red, and we shall see how true this Tweet was.

It seems treason does pay.

If you were actually listening to the American people, like you claim, you would have voted for witnesses and evidence. 75% of the American people you say you represent wanted to see witnesses…

What are you afraid of?

You couldn’t find the truth if it was water and you fell out of a boat. Resign.

You have shown clearly that your priority is not the American people. Resign you partisan hack.

are you a senator or a late night televangelist?

Are you kidding? @realDonaldTrump is the KING of bitterness@and revenge. #delusional #AliceinWonderland #VoteBlueNoMatterWho2020

“people’s priorities” from one of the most notorious DARK MONEY beneficiaries of all time

a man is truly dangerous when he believes his own BULLSHIT

Mr. Hawley the state of Missouri and the people of the United States will hold you accountable for your vote. Trump is guilty and you know it. You’re not gonna tell me that you are so naive that you can’t see that for yourself. Wake up..

Your words are meaningless. You work for special interests and your own selfish political ambitions.

The people want the truth. You blocked witnesses.

Fake much? You are so transparent. You could care less about anything but your own political career. I guess you are if the Lindsey Graham school. You know the ones that would sell their mothers to stay in power. Can’t wait to vote you out

Can you imagine what we could do if we didn’t have a president that with every turn endangers are republic and the future of our country. You can ONLY imagine and that’s the problem. Shame on you #GOPCowards

Won’t happen because Republicans are allowing a criminal to forever taint our elections!! When this is said and done Trump will be more emboldened to lie and cheat! Hope you’re proud you have helped destroy democracy in this country!!!!

Dishonoring your oath and bringing more bad repute to a failing institution isn’t the way forward.

You freakin Trump toadie!

You don’t answer letters in a timely fashion, your staffers don’t answer the phone, you don’t hold town halls. You are all that the Republican Party represents: Bullshit, Gaslighting, and Mediocrity.
Resign!

You don’t know what the people’s priorities are.

You put party before country and made it easier for future presidents to abuse their power. Shame on you

You know what would help end the cycle of bitterness & payback? Actual consequences for lawbreaking. Rule of law. Concern about the Constitution.

Sweeping crime and corruption under the rug because it was done by _your_ asshole isn’t a road to reconciliation.

Senator, for too long the GOP has played nice with the opposition. Now, we have a coup de etat on our hands, Bolsheviks as serious presidential contenders, and a violent Brownshirt wing of the democrat party. I think the gloves need to come off.

Ooh, a Fascist.

It’s time to shut the fuck up, Joke Hawley, because you don’t listen to the American People. Why in the fuck do we need to hear the bullshit coming out of your mouth? #GOPBetrayedAmerica #Traitor #HawleysLyingAgain

You’re a complete asslicking idiot, eat shit!

Fuck off.

Hard to rebuild our great national life together when your party likes to do crime-ing and obstructing. Hard to rebuild when your Dear Leader elevates a racist blowhard over a Tuskegee Airman at the SOTU. Hard to rebuild when you’re up the president’s ass as much as you are

You are a slack-jawed, spineless, gutless coward.

You utter coward.

Eff you, pig!

The people’s priorities were hearing the witnesses, you sniveling little sycophant.

Not a particularly strong group of ringing endorsements, eh.

Pence Blasts Pelosi Over Ripgate: ‘A New Low’
By Cristina Cabrera February 5, 2020 9:12 a.m.

On Wednesday morning, Vice President Mike Pence slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for tearing up her copy of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech the night before.

Pence described the gesture as “a new low” during an interview on “Fox and Friends.” [….]

But on September 15, 2009 Mike Pence (r) was cool with Joe Wilson (r).

Pearl clutching.

Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) couldn’t resist:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
There were names of people who died for their country in that speech, names of families who lost a loved one, people struggling with cancer, stories of a young man’s aspirations, a military family reunited.

It’s saddening to see that behavior. But America still marches ahead.
[….]
9:30 AM · Feb 5, 2020

But on September 15, 2009 Kevin McCarthy (r) was cool with Joe Wilson (r).

Marching isn’t a particularly great metaphor. Unless it’s a warning.

There was much hilarity in the responses:

Where was this concern when Trump attacked a Gold Star Family? Where was this concern when Trump said soldiers hospitalized with concussions after the Iranian attack on our airbase just had headaches?

From the time Trump entered the chamber as a guest and refused to shake his host’s hand, the speech became an embarrassing political rally/reality show/award show circus. Pelosi simply added her act, and in so doing, make him into a sideshow.

Please save us all the sob story, you don’t care about the troops until you need votes…

Considering he’s denigrated gold star families, TBI sufferers and even men who spent years in a POW camp for this country I think you should sit this one out. Your selective outrage towards the treatment of military members is pathetic and plainly self-serving.

BABYJAILS are OK, though.

Bunch of bs in there, too. But you know that, vicky. As does #kievinmccarthy #GOPBetrayedAmerica

Also numerous lies, half truths and misinformation. God bless the speaker of the house.

Now do all the lies.

a document of lies isn’t made sacred by including a few names

Lol the GOP has ripped up the constitution so you all have no room to talk

No, Republicans March ahead on the backs and Souls of the American People. Disgraceful!

She should have thrown it in his face!

There are babies in cages , babies & children who have died in that speech. Children & Seniors who can’t get their medicine due to him in that speech. There are Multiple lies in that speech. Awarding a racist is in that speech. Stop it.

Hack.

Trump used all as props. Grifter til the end.

The speech was riddled w lies and disinformation. It belongs in the garbage can.
Lie, deny, deflect, attack. The trump playbook!

Keep Clutching your pearls; #NancyIsAllOfUs

Heh.

Plus lots of lies, exaggerations and false achievements.

Perhaps she should have had it bound and placed in a gold leaf cover? #TrumpCult

There were also a bunch of lies in that speech. But, you know as well as I, trump can’t open his mouth without lying. In fact, trump will lie when the truth would suit him better. And, giving Rush the Presidential Medal of Freedom is dishonored *all* the previous recipients.

Spare me your false outrage. How many gold star families has Trump insulted?

Your feigned outrage is ridiculous. You’re in a cult. The first step is admitting you have a problem.

Kids in cages is still acceptable though.

How disingenuous of you. While Trump may have “used” some truly honorable Americans in his speech he did disservice to them and the rest of us with the lies he told, as always. The lies are what we reject, not the people. Use your head.

If I write Vicky Hartzler on a piece of paper and tear it up, will you feel it? Will it bother you? Will it change anything? Also, your pearls are getting sweaty, stop clutching them.

heh.

And there’s more…

Everything he touches he turns to….

Uh, the U.S. Senate hasn’t voted yet. Literally.

Jason Smith (r) represents Missouri’s 8th District in the United States Congress. He has priorities.

Missouri’s 8th Congressional District:

Missouri 2908
Congressional District 8

People Below Poverty – 142,608
People Below Poverty – percent – 20.1%
People Below 185% of Poverty – 295,331

Children Below Poverty – 44,546
Children Below Poverty – percent – 27.7%
Children Below 185% of Poverty – 86,053
Children Below 185% of Poverty – percent 53.5%

Yesterday, a priority from Representative Jason Smith (r):

Rep. Jason Smith @RepJasonSmith
Dear Nancy,

Thanks for wasting five months of our lives.

Very insincerely,
Literally everyone
6:45 PM · Feb 1, 2020

You think he gets the insincere part, too? Nah. Some people never get out of junior high school.

There was much hilarity in the responses:

I’ll never forget how you supported the criminal President. It will haunt you when everything comes out.

Apparently, also, someone named “Kurt Rusel” is some kind of self-described constitutional scholar or something.

I think Missouri deserves a representative that does not dwell in a hyperbolic world and focused on the real world issues of Missouri and US . . .

It would be nice if he also understood what”literally” means.

These are not the comments of a leader. You’re failing MO. I’m planning to vote for @ellis4congress!

Kathy Ellis (D) [2020 file photo].

Dear Jason,

Thanks for proving you’re as corrupt as the rest of them.

Resign,
Literally everyone

Actually, not everyone. Including many you represent.

You’re a disappointment.

Dear Jason,

You have yet to hold a town hall.

Sincerely,
Everyone

Do you read the responses to your tweets? Does your family? Does anyone? I’m guessing not because you are somehow not picking up what people are laying down.

Exposing a Republican Senate as rejecting their Constitutional responsibility and embracing an aspiring dictator was time well spent. It showed the American people how easily democracy can be corrupted.

There’s that.

It’s not like you were doing anything else

No. Thank YOU for wasting a seat in Congress.

Unconstitutional Conservative

There, fixed it for you.

Very sincerely,
The dying Republican Party

Agree with you: we should be grateful for Nancy and the Democrats representing the majority of Americans, to have impeached Trump (forever) and exposed the republican’s corruption and betrayal of the constitution. You’ll check the bill in November.

A U. S. Congressman who literally doesn’t understand the meaning of the word “literally”. Great.

Dear Jason,
Remember Benghazi?
Literally, Everyone

Wow you’re so funny. Maybe you should tour with that funny Huckabee fella.
On a more serious note, you can’t resist sucking up to trump, every chance you get. You are a fraud and it will all catch up to you.

Dear Jason,

Thanks for not caring about defending the Constitution of the U.S.

Sincerely,
Everyone
#impeachment

I can see how defending the constitution is baffling to you. Your entire party is corrupt. Cheat, lie, steal. Everyone connected to that mobster is dirty.
#DirtyGOP #CorruptGOP #ShamTrial #NotExonerated

Dear Smith,
Senate Republicans literally denied hearing all witnesses and relevant information. Are their limits to corruption?
#2020Elections

Dear Mr. Smith,

Thanks for letting us all know that you are on the wrong side of history

Sincerely,
A voter.

P.s. signing a letter with “insincerity” is antithetical to your point and is behavior unbecoming a US representative.

We noticed that, too.

You are a joke.

Literally? Jason, do you know what “literally” even means?

Dear Jason,
Thanks for the #CorruptGOP not upholding their oaths of office, their abdication of duties fully known by 75% of Americans.
Signed
#VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Not this one…you don’t speak for everyone you egotistical maniac, not even close.

You are a waste of taxpayer dollars.

Trying to save our constitution is not a waste of time. Apparently that Rep in front of your name doesn’t necessarily mean you have a brain.

Very classy! Reinforced as an idiot

Except for 75% of the country bigot #GOPCoverup

When are you folks going to bring us together ? You will lose the next presidential election so drink up now buddy because it’s all going to change bye-bye.
75% of the country wanted witnesses which country do you live in? Russia? Good lord Jesus is watching your dumb ass.

Sen. Josh Hawley (r): disappointed

“…A Fascist kakistocracy, if you can keep it.”

He’s “disappointed”?:

Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
I am disappointed we were not able to vote to acquit @realDonaldTrump tonight – but I look forward to casting that vote next week, and ending this bitter, partisan circus
7:06 PM · Jan 31, 2020

Says the partisan hack and sycophant who can’t be bothered to hear witnesses.

It’s so cute that the junior senator from Missouri thinks it’s over.

Some of the comments:

Just think about all the times you get to go on Fox and talk about how pressuring an ally to investigate a political opponent and withholding crucial information and witnesses are not an impeachable offense. After all, if the President does it, it’s not impeachable.

“The most dangerous place to stand in Washington D.C. is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone” – Charles P. Pierce

Impeached forever. No exoneration. The Dems should impeach him again on new charges.

Imagine hitching your wagon to Donald Trump (r) and believing he won’t do the same shit, eh Josh?

Voting for ending free, fair elections so Donald Trump can select himself president like Vladimir Putin does.
Sounds like you expect a patronage position as an American Oligarch out of the deal to vote for acquittal.

I believe your side has the elephants and the clowns.

Your party wants to do it Soviet style – pre determined outcome, attained with no witnesses or evidence. Not one scrap of paper. That does not exonerate DT – he is impeached forever.

In similar fashion, we’re disappointed in you.

To put it mildly.

You also refused to hear all the evidence. I think that’s sad for a former attorney general. Or anyone for that matter.

I’m completely disappointed that I even voted for you. #HawleyHidesTheTruth

It’s only partisan because you choose to be complicit instead of honoring your oath of office

I’m disappointed that you’re my senator. You have abandoned the constitution and your nation in your furvor to acquire more power for your party at the expense of this country and your dignity.

So disappointed you weren’t able to legalize bribery and obstruction?

The only reason it was partisan was because one side decided to double down on the cover up.

You violated your oath of office. Plain & simple.

i am so disappointed someone in your position isn’t taking this extra time reviewing the materials presented to them and seriously, IMPARTIALLY coming to a conclusion they keep to themselves until voting
#RIPAmerica #RIPGOP

You’ll never actually be able to acquit because you never actually held a trial. You just let him off like good puppets.

Although you’ll vote for acquittal, he’s guilty and you all know it.

Again, I ask; how did it feel to recite the pledge of allegiance, only to turn around and shred the Constitution?
The circus is nothing compared to the crimes that will come to light. We will not forget. History will revile you, toady.

Well, okay, the first one is a little poem written for children by a socialist minister in the early 1890s, the other is the governing document of the United States of America and is apparently no longer operative.

Look at that!

We have a Senator from Missouri showing he has no intentions of being an impartial juror.

Too bad his seat isn’t up until 2024.

Yes you would take joy in acquitting a criminal and not listening to the people who pay your salary.
@GOP knows trump should be impeached and removed. 75% of Americans know how a trial is supposed to work!
@GOP do not want the American People to hear from witnesses! #GOPCowards

What was your soul worth?

I’ve lost all respect for that darn GOP
And it’s not just because we so rarely agree
It’s their lies and deceit
How they shamelessly cheat
That’s distasteful, disgraceful, disgusting to me

Can’t aquit with a sham trial. 80% wanted witnesses. Only little people have to follow the law.

I’m embarrassed to be represented by you.

The democrats just don’t get it do they? They cannot accept election results unless they win and when they don’t we’re going to have continuous temper tantrums because they didn’t get their way.

Projection doesn’t just happen in movie theaters.

We appreciate that you support President @realDonaldTrump, it’s painful to see this disgusting trial go on another day. Hasn’t he been put through enough?

And, wait for it:

No

Gives you plenty of time to shine his shoes.

Problematic if you can’t tell shit from Shinola.

You mean you look forward to licking the boots of a corrupt dictator as you abandon any pretense of working for anyone but him. And the Kremlin.

Okay, not Shinola.

The American people are disappointed in you and the 50 other senators that are perpetrating a cover up. What kind of trial doesn’t have witnesses and documents? You are proving just how corrupt our government is and how much of a need there is for us to rise up against it.

tRump is IMPEACHED for life, even if he is acquitted in the Senate. He will still go down is history as being impeached. As @MickMulvaneyOMB would say “Get over it”.
#GOPCowards

We at least still got the victory knowing he will be acquitted.

“Knowing,” as in pre-ordained? How extra-constitutional. [see also: Pyrrhic]

With all due respect…you might be watching alternative news too much.

I understand your hurry. After all, the truth might come out.

The bitterness will not end with your gift to Putin and transnational crime, I guarantee you that.

“Россия” (Russia) – a variant of the Russian presidential flag.

I look forward to your next chapter in life when you’re voted out of the senate….

Partisan?!The majority of THE PEOPLE would like to hear witnesses.Have this be a true trial.Not the us vs them crap that you and other sycophants are parroting to save your rears.Wholly unbelievable.History won’t be kind to you Josh.The damage will be irreparable.#RIPAmerica

You and your Impeached Leader, enjoy it while you can. Tick, Tock.

If you think Trump’s troubles will end just because 51 sycophants and scaredy-cats cast a vote, think again

53, actually.

I can’t believe ANYONE agreed to leave this Trial open while the Democrats, as they are admitting, want more witnesses and to continue digging. 49 / 51

That is absolutely outragous!

#WeThePeople want you ALL too Get Back to WORK!

That’s so cute. They think that #MoscowMitch keeps the U.S. Senate working.

Its what will happen this week that concerns me.

Well, we are talking about Donald Trump (r) here.

Like it or not – you’re still an irrelevant nobody and no matter how much you kiss Trump’s behind you can bet he’d throw you under the bus in a minute.

Well, we are talking about Donald Trump (r) here.

Let’s hope, Senator Hawley, that you’ll do your part to end the partisan behavior. That means you’ll have to seek common ground and find compromises.

What color is the sky in their world?

If only there was a way you could have made it non-partisan, like actually listening to witnesses, looking at evidence and DOING YOUR DAMNED JOB.

Do you think, like Senator Alexander, that Trump did what Schiff said, but it wasn’t impeachable? Or do you think Trump’s call was perfect?

We could ask, if Josh Hawley (r) ever held open public town halls in Missouri.

Josh doesn’t think. At least not for himself.

He proved he’s just another GOP hack this week.

#GOPCorruptionOverCountry

I’m disappointed to see the GOP continue to put party over country, constituents, and Constitution. The corrupt must be very deep and very wide. #ShamTrial #TruthMattersRightMatters

Follow the money.

Rush to judgement to decide without even considering all the evidence, witnesses. What a shameful exercise.
#SenateGOPCoverup

I could not be more embarrassed of my elected senators right now. Cowards, both of you. This is a fake trial and there will be a fake acquittal.

He may be acquitted in a few days, but he’ll never be exonerated.

This tweet won’t age well. You’ll see it again at election time.

Frame that, and put it up on your wall.

This tweet will come back to haunt you. Get ready. And yeah, history has its eyes on you. So do millions of thoughtful, thinking people everywhere. Craven sycophancy isn’t a good look; nor is shredding the Constitution.

Donnie was impeached…forever and lost the popular vote. You went against the American public too, we wanted witnesses (if just one could have cleared Donnie we would have seen them=this means YOU know he is guilty and don’t care)
