The Trump Presidency

Trump’s Kentucky Campaign Chair Pleads Guilty to Child Sex Trafficking

I wonder, do our Trump followers here find it repulsive, or even troubling, that Trump's party (forget the GOP, it's the Trump New Party - TNP) is more and more the party of racism and sex criminals? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems to be what he stands for. Oh yeah, and greed. #WhitePervGreed

Like flies to $#it.

One of President Trump’s loudest supporters will likely spend the rest of his life in jail after the conclusion of his child sex trafficking case.

71-year-old Timothy Nolan — a former Campbell County District Judge who was chair of the Trump campaign in Kentucky entered guilty pleas on all 21 counts against him on Friday. A press release by Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear listed a multitude of charges, including human trafficking of adults, human trafficking of minors, and unlawful transaction with minors.

Nolan will serve 20 years in jail and pay restitution of $110,000. Nolan will be eligible for parole in 2022. If he had not entered guilty pleas, Nolan would have faced up to 100 years in prison.

Nolan had a total of 19 victims dating back to 2004. Judge Kathleen Lape said Nolan threatened arrest and eviction to force women and girls to have sex with him. Nolan also apparently paid the women and juveniles with heroin and painkillers, and gave alcohol to a minor on more than one occasion.

In a statement following the pleas, Nolan’s attorney, Margo Grubbs (yes, she does), argued that what Nolan did would have been seen as legally acceptable under the laws of a different day and age.

DACA began in June 2012. Below read yet another example

of Donald’s appalling ignorance, documented

in my most recent books. Donald doesn’t even know the 3 branches

of federal government, as revealed below.

Republicans want to fix DACA far more than the Democrats do. The Dems had all three branches of government back in 2008-2011, and they decided not to do anything about DACA. They only want to use it as a campaign issue. Vote Republican!

Got it. So before social media, it was OK to sexually abuse people

That's a great moral highground there

It only means that a critical mass uproar was never reached at the time, not that it was okay. Twisting words doesn't get you anywhere.

Had there been a tape, more evidence, a different national mood, or if Ken Starr had not made such a mess of his investigation, jumping from fake scandal to fake scandal trying to find something to stick. But balancing the budget and not starting an unwinnable war with a third world country notwithstanding, if he raped anyone he should do hard time.

Congress should have Leavenworth build a special cell block for politicians and they should make use of it.
 
Do you mean die like fall into the Pacific Ocean and becoming a lost continent ala Atlantis or die by losing our statue of liberty ideals ?
 
Statue of Liberty says that people should break our laws to come here?

Also, DACA had to be created because a Democratic controlled government between 2008-2010 couldn't figure it out themselves. It was an executive power overreach then and it had to be corrected. President doesn't write the laws.

Hmm...We are consistently told that this process is difficult and inherently racist. Strange.

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro suggested that former President Barack Obama was to blame for the scandal surrounding ex-Trump aide Rob Porter.

Yes, I saw that. Her logic goes that the Obama/FBI Security Clearance Process (they are the same thing in her mind) rejected Porter but let him work in the White House, knowing it would eventually come out in an embarrassing media moment. That seems totally possible to me, but the elephant in the room is - vetting your aides is the President's administration's job. I believe Chris Christie was in charge of Trump's transition.

It's the administration's responsibility to hire "good people". The FBI gave them a red flag on Porter and they ignored it. He was deemed a security risk, I'm guessing not because they thought he couldn't be trusted with top secret information, but because he was a security risk to the President. And now this fiasco is exactly why the FBI wanted to shield the President from Porter.

Just my speculation.
 
How do you run a system granting security clearances for an administration led by a man who clearly shouldn't receive security clearance?
