Michael Cohen — who long served as former President Trump’s personal lawyer and fixer — warned Sunday of the potential risk of sending Trump back to the White House with mounting legal fees and financial liabilities.
“We need to be very careful about him as a potential president because he is for sale,” Cohen, now an outspoken critic of the former president, said in an interview on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” on Sunday.
“He needs to figure out where he is going to raise $500-plus million over a short period of time,” Cohen continued.
So you want CIA, NSA and the other intelligence agencies to have a full on veto power ower who can be president?
As a reminder, its not that long since being gay/trans would disqalify you from getting clearence because “it made you vulnerable to blackmail”.
Similar to the issue of medical disqualification. Theoretically the parties themselves are supposed to vet these candidates, except the parties themselves have alzheimers and their party platforms are insanity themselves.
I wonder how many of our elected officials could pass the psychological portions of an aviation medical exam. How many of them are too crazy to fly a Cessna by themselves but just can’t be removed from Congress.
Legitimate question: could Jared Kushner be able to run then? He was denied clearance several times after Trump was initially elected in 2016… Anyone want to chime in to remind everyone what happened there?
Yes it did…
But back to the question: anyone remember what happened specifically with Jared Kushner’s security clearance after it was denied over and over and over by the US Intelligence Community?
Ah fuck it, I’ll just spoil it myself: Trump was able to override it and give him the clearance anyway! Yay checks and balances!
