There's a new story in The Washington Post about Elizabeth Warren, all right
and it's kind of and it's in it and a it reads like whoever wrote it thinks it's
a hit job seriously they're gonna take a hit job on Elizabeth Warren. Why? because
she once was a high-priced lawyer? Seriously?
She was also a law professor - any oh okay so here's John McCarter over
DailyKos Wow big scoop there Washington Post brace yourself for this one senator
Elizabeth Warren is running for president worked in her profession as a
lawyer before running for public office and oh my god made money for that work
she did it while also teaching the headlines sneers working on quote more
than 50 legal matters charging as much as six hundred seventy-five dollars an
hour end of quote where did they get this massive scoop about a smart woman
with a good job who used her expertise and her smarts and effectiveness to get
paid the going rate of a really good lawyer quote from the Washington Post
Warren's presidential campaign released a a list of 56 cases on her website on
Wednesday night end quote back to John McCarter pretty sneaky ever
huh disclosing all that lawyering and money-making for the world to see on her
own campaign website and you can you believe what she said on the website
quote when she represented the interests of a by asbestos claimants her work was
described as advocating for victims end quote that's from the Washington
Post piece oh my god back to John McCarter which seems like a very good
description for representing the interests of claimants scoop
presidential candidate correctly describes her work in a previous job in
a way that will appeal to voters apparently there's now a new standard
this is still John MacArthur it apparently there's now a new standard
for women running for president from the traditional media a lady law professor
interested in advocating for workers is supposed to be like a nun take a vow of
poverty or something no matter how good she is at her job
Alexandria Castillo Cortes by the way weighed in with a tweet breaking news
lady had a job got paid more than me and then Cascio Cortes says nice work
now do the amount of Wall Street big fighting she's talking you know
sarcastically to the Washington Post nice work
now do the amount of Wall Street big farm and fossil fuel presidential
candidates accepted over their careers and how much they've taken now yeah how
about that how about that meanwhile peak Budaj edge was asked about Donald Trump
in the I believe is a podcast of The Washington Post
and this is what he had to say and this is just I mean it's so it's so nice this
is this is the benefit of having a whole bunch of people running for president as
Democrats is why having a whole bunch of people running for the Republican
nomination four years ago actually work to the benefit of the Republican Party
and helped put Donald Trump in the White House because every single time any of
them got covered they took a hit of Barack Obama and and and very often at
Hillary Clinton well now every single time a Democrat gets interviewed they're
taking a hit of Donald Trump here's Opie Buddha judge had to say I have a pretty
dim view of his decision to use his privileged status to fake a disability
in order to avoid serving in Vietnam and I think that's exactly what he did and
then he went on he says look I don't have a problem standing up to somebody
who was working on season seven of Celebrity Apprentice while I was packing
my bags for Afghanistan this is somebody who I think it's fairly obvious to most
of us took advantage of the fact that he was the child of a multi-millionaire in
order to pretend to be disabled so that somebody else could go to war in his
place Wow it's like you know put the knife in or
hey put it in deep okay remarkable stuff meanwhile a bank in Chicago or actually
a banker with a bank in Chicago his name is Stephen caulk and the bank is the
Federal Savings Bank of Chicago they have disavowed his activities but he was
high up enough in the bank that he was able to have that bank a little tiny
bank loan 16 million bucks to Paul Manafort essentially in exchange for
getting a position Stephen caulk had a had a position in Donald Trump's
presidential campaign he was the economic adviser to Donald Trump right
looks pretty good on your resume right except now he's just got indicted yes
sir afternoon by the Southern District of
New York for ignoring internal standards and lying to regulators why is it that
all the people around Donald Trump or so many of the people around Donald Trump
are either obvious and demonstrable liars you know Kelly and Conway Sarah
Sanders etc or that they're in jail I mean this guy's campaign chairman is in
jail his personal lawyer is in jail and in Wow in the case of Paul manta Ford
he's in jail for stuff that goes beyond Trump in the case of of of Michael Cohen
I mean the the the astonishing thing is that Michael Cohen is sitting in a
federal prison right now for paying stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal to not
talk about the affairs that they had with Donald Trump in the months before
the election in other words try to cover up the affairs this is this is the
Donald Trump who yesterday said I don't do cover-ups it's stormy Daniels Karen
McDougal right I don't do cover-ups I just I just pay he just pays off women
who you know I mean can you do you get this is bizarre? And I think
Nancy Pelosi nailed it this morning she said somebody in his family on his staff
or in his cabinet needs to stage an intervention.
