As Kirkpatrick described in his own words, the extent of his investigation of whistleblower claims amounted to asking the government’s secret-keepers if a certain illegal program existed. Kirkpatrick’s approach, as astute observers have noted, is roughly akin to asking a mob boss if he is engaging in illegal activity, and subsequently being satisfied with a “no.”

Carbon, so hot right now

He just misses the days when state legislatures chose senators

Mine are currently at about two hours' labor per month.

Well worth the cost

"Trust in the system" is a resource that needs managing. If the contractor got off lightly, it would erode the trust people have that the IRS will manage their information.

Let alone the fact that a light sentence for a guy who leaked the administration's foe's information would be incredibly corrupt

The trick is to make up your mind on him before he gets sworn in, then it's easy to dismiss any progress as "not far enough" or "just doing it to get re-elected"

"Fixing" makes it sound like some sort of accident

Canada is stealing less than one inch a decade from us, this cannot stand!

Good for them

Read the article dip shit.

This article has a pretty good explanation of why term limits causes more problems than it solves.

Just a maximum age is plenty

Nobody simply thinks "kill rich" and stops thinking there.

That's news to me, I always got the impression that "????" Was the next step after "kill rich"

If you like having novices in government, sure

Or work for the government if you're in the US

I disagree. As commendable as his actions are, he clearly broke a law that is there for a good reason.

I wonder if they'd accept the Pledge of Allegiance as counting for that section

Thanks for pointing it out.

Those people are the reason for the "I'm not Trump" campaign from Biden. Why remind them that the Democrats wants to gasp help the poor

Not only speculation, but wild speculation. I wish you were a betting man, too
