No adult supervision? Unlikely.
Leadership is just hiding.

for the President elect?? who authorized this? What the hell is going on??

They let Trump borrow some people who had experience and then pretended they knew nothing about it.

Since when do any government employees sign nondisclosure agreements?

This is about as worrisome, to me, as anything I have read. This tactic was/is commonplace in the Trump organization. But among our dedicated government career employees? I truly hope this part has some legs and that it gets some media attention if true. Atrocious.

Our federal employees and appointees take an OATH. An OATH. Nondisclosure agreements have no place in our governance in this country. If this is accurate, let's all hope it starts getting media attention.

Full disclosure is required I thought. Isn't that what the whole HRC email server bs was based on?

If I sign an NDA and don't get permission first from my employer I am likely to be out of a job.

you best believe this story of that is false and that the Members of Congress knew.

Balance of Power. Three branches of government.

We're paying their salaries; we have a right to know how they're spending their time while on the payroll.

This didn't happen overnight. They've been working on this for a while.

Non-disclosure statements or not.

24 Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee. Inquiring minds want to know who their staffers are.

Not knowing about it means that they do not have to recuse themselves from the House of Representative vote when it comes time to vote yes/no on impeachment articles. They will "argue" that there is no need to recuse themselves from the vote since they were not part of the decision-making process with the White House. They did not know about it and they were not apart of the process preparing/guiding the language of the order by President Trump. The Judiciary Committee members will then be able to vote their "conscience" and vote according to their sworn responsibility to protect the constitution.

Clever, maybe not.

What a crock?

Thanks Politico!

It would be logical to assume that their aides were the ones helping Trump on his immigration screed, right?

of Bob Goodlatte all over it. As a Virginian who lives near his district, if I were going to investigate this, I'd start with him, denials notwithstanding.

A great deal of these Retrumplicans have had their districts so "effing" Gerrymandered, that there are not enough sane Retrumplicans to save them from the true "nut-sack" Retrumplicans.

Go against Trump and they lose their "effng" seats.

I hate to be "Pollyanish", but by being complacent after Obama's win in 2008, that meant that Retrumplicans had super-majorities to gerrymander the 2010 Census data. We will be paying for that for decades.

The only hope would be that the Retrumplicans would get behind a narcissistic, bloviating, serial "pussy-grabbing", authoritarian, "daily impeachable offense creating" man-child as their leader.

It is going to take a wave election.

It is going to take working and organizing like never before to overcome every voter suppression tactic they can muster.

It is going to take Democrats obstructing every policy of Donnie Short Fingers. Because, by obstructing and standing up for what's right when they have no power...we will know they will stand up for what's right when they do have power

BTW - that's why you obstruct. That's why you don't "settle". I never hear a Retrumplican saying that "both parties are the same", unless they are trying to obfuscate. They KNOW that both parties aren't the same.

It's high-time we realized that too.
