Everyone I know is in financial trouble. Everyone.<BR/><BR/>Who the hell cares what one's political allegiance is in times like these?<BR/><BR/>I have one relative who has her daughter and her family, her single daughter, AND her step-son all moved into her home because of the loss of a home, the loss of a job, and just plain inability to find enough work to live independently.<BR/><BR/>Five adults and two children living in a one-family home.<BR/><BR/>One year ago, all of these people were working and independent.<BR/><BR/>We either decide we're all Americans and help each other and support the new administration or we all fail individually.<BR/><BR/>Really.

Was there horse trading? Almost certainly. Did that trading rise to the level of illegality? My guess is that it didn't.<BR/><BR/>Did not, not because Emmanuel isn't capable of it, but did not because PEOTUS doesn't need to. If his candidate doesn't get the job, PEOTUS can appoint her to some other position.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, though, if things were reversed, y'all would be screaming bloody murder. I understand that; just as I understand your need to spin this off as "nothing to see here, move along."

Byrd back when some minor Bush scandal was in the news. Byrd admitted there was no evidence that Bush had anything to do with the problem.

"You can believe that The President-Elect had nothing to do with it, because His lawyer has investigated and says so."
