Gowdy himself said there's no doubt we couldn't get their in time.

If embassy budgets hadn't been cut, there would have been a higher probability their was more security in the first place.

Oi vey

Well ****, this was at the top of the newsfeed today. Oh Texas.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton moved Friday to muzzle a former state regulator who says he was ordered in 2010 to drop a fraud investigation into Trump University for political reasons.

Paxton's office issued a cease and desist letter to former Deputy Chief of Consumer Protection John Owens after he made public copies of a 14-page internal summary of the state's case against Donald Trump for scamming millions from students of his now-defunct real estate seminar.

Owens, now retired, said his team had built a solid case against the now-presumptive Republican presidential nominee, but was told to drop it after Trump's company agreed to cease operations in Texas.

The former state regulator told The Associated Press on Friday that decision was highly unusual and left the bilked students on their own to attempt to recover their tuition money from the celebrity businessman.

According to the documents provided by Owens, his team sought to sue Trump, his company and several business associates to help recover more than $2.6 million students spent on seminars and materials, plus another $2.8 million in penalties and fees.

Owens said he was so surprised at the order to stand down he made a copy of the case file and took it home.

"It had to be political in my mind because Donald Trump was treated differently than any other similarly situated scam artist in the 16 years I was at the consumer protection office," said Owens, who lives in Houston.

Owens' boss at the time was then-Attorney General Greg Abbott, who is now the state's GOP governor.

The Associated Press first reported Thursday that Trump gave donations totaling $35,000 to Abbott's gubernatorial campaign three years after his office closed the Trump U case. Several Texas media outlets then reported Owens' accusation that the probe was dropped for political reasons.

Abbott spokesman Matt Hirsch said Friday that the governor had played no role in ending the case against Trump, a decision he said was made farther down the chain of command.

"The Texas Attorney General's office investigated Trump U, and its demands were met — Trump U was forced out of Texas and consumers were protected," Hirsch said. "It's absurd to suggest any connection between a case that has been closed and a donation to Governor Abbott three years later."

Here's a bit of help for you:



According to Democratic House Oversight Committee staff, the amount that the GOP-led House passed for two accounts that pay for embassy security in fiscal 2012 ($2.311 billion) was $330 million less than the Obama administration had requested ($2.641 billion).
A GOP House Appropriations Committee aide confirmed the House bill had less in these accounts than what the administration requested.
However, the final bill, after being worked on by the Democratic-led Senate, put in more money than what had passed in the House. The final bill, which passed with bipartisan support, gave a total of $2.37 billion to these accounts for fiscal 2012 -- about $270 million less than what the administration had requested.
Conclusion: The GOP-led House did initially approve about $330 million less than what the administration requested, but in the final bill, passed with bipartisan support after adjustments by the Senate, put the amount a little closer to the administration's target.

When a person is right about something, I think you should acknowledge it. In this case, taint is factually correct.

The GOP led House did approve about 1/3 BILLION dollars less than what OBAMA was asking for in that year.

I apologize for my faulty recollection of the events and numbers of a portion of a federal spending bill. I stand corrected.

You know what? I'm trying to remember here. When did this now famous reduction in security spending begin?

Taint can correct me here but I'm pretty sure it was under OBAMA.

It seems to me it was increased during the he lied and people died administration but has been under a constant downard spiral since.

So now you got me thinking. I'm thinking. I'm thinking about the recent past and I think I might have a lot of questions.

I'm thinking about numbers. 330 million is 1/3 of one billion. One billion is 1/100 to 100 billion.

47 or more people, mostly black, were murdered in Chicago last weekend.

100 billion is 1 to 10 to a Trillion.

The security numbers we are talking about approach 1 TRILLION dollars a year.

I need Joe Biden to step in and step up NOW! OBAMA told us BIDEN would account for every penny spent by the federal.

I'm still waiting for the 2009 report.

I'm looking for the congressional budget report. I can't find it. It's not there.

There are reports and numbers but they are robotic. There is no human interaction. Your elected can't make one.

They didn't make or pass a budget last year. They didn't do it the year before. Or the year before that or the year before that.

There has never been a budget passed, in any chamber, House or Senate, since OBAMA became President.

HELLO sequester. 10% and nobody has to work and you can't blame me because I didn't have to vote.

So now I'm thinking. I'm thinking. I'm thinking about the recent past and I'm getting cluttered up with questions.

This volcano is about to erupt.

spurt

HEY! Where's this new America OBAMA promised us?

The guy that told us Bushes debt during a war was unpatriotic, has now more than doubled it. In peacetime.

Pulled out of IRAQ we gotta fight all over again. War won lost. Good job *******.

Black unemployment is the highest in recorded history. It's OK. They only get 10% now. Illegals beating them up.

And what about those transgenders?

I have gone to every channel. ABC. NBC. CBS. MSNBC. CNN.

I have gone to every paper. NY Times. Boston. LA. No news.

There is no more news on the news channels or in the rapidly dying print.

There are no democrat news conferences in an election year. NOT ONE.

THERE IS NO MORE NEWS!

The news is the republicans spent something less in a trillion dollar defense bill.

And that means Saint Hillary is innocent and once again we have exposed the crooked others.

And she'll be on FOX debate the tenth of never. Too busy in her fox hole. Hiding.

94 million Americans could use a job. 7 years and waiting. 10 TRILLION and still debating.

ZERO budget bills passed by the elected officials. AND THAT'S THEIR JOB! HELLO SEQUESTER!!!!!!!

But no numbers on the Clinton Foundation.

I'm thinking about numbers. I'm thinking. About transgenders. I'm thinking about innocent citizens murdered and raped across the world under this new america. 47 murders. 100 million. To the Clinton foundation. Under Secretary Clinton. From Saudi Arabia. 500 million. In donations.

Six million in charity by Trump comes under scrutiny in the new american communist fascist left propaganda media eggheads. 500 million to the CLINTONS goes unchallenged. That's not news. SUCK IT UP AMERICA!

7 years plus. More unemployment than ever since WWII. Blacks and women hit hardest.

NO security. NO wall. NO social security. NO law.

100 Senators are millionaires. Over 500 congressmen hope to get there.

Lawyers and Media and Bears! OH MY!

Should we vote Clinton or Bush and why?

Don't trust your heart and go with the crowd.

They are the ones being criminal and loud.

Who is this guy that calls himself Trump?

Is he self funded and over the hump?

While telling the truth he sometimes looks silly

while shining the light on the liar crooked Hillary

but the numbers don't matter cause they're fake anyway

ONLY DONALD TRUMP WILL MAKE IT OK!

Oi vey

Hasn't Gowdy been the butt of jokes from the left since the left realized he was in office? So now he's an expert?

Secret Service tell-all on the Clintons coming out.

That dude is dead. Bill will have him killed before week's end.

Now this just sucks big time

WIS must be trying to get a Government contract.

Remember when Tec, BL, MikeT, etc were all so sure Trump was going to a contested convention???? Trump now at 1477 delegates = not even close to contested convention. You guys need to stop believing the media hype.... SUCKERS!!! Trump for President !!!

I'm actually beginning to think he can beat Shrillary. I won't vote for either but she's so ******* unlikable and he seems to have toned it down.
