Laura K. Cooper, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia, Ukraine, Eurasia, North Western & George Town Universities, that's really all anyone needs to know! Oh yeah, she on that list of Senior Executive Service, too! 3 strikes...your out!

Gunwalking", or "letting guns walk", was a tactic used by the Arizona U.S. Attorney's Office and the Arizona Field Office of the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), which ran a series of sting operations[2][3] between 2006[4] and 2011[2][5] in the Tucson and Phoenix area where the ATF "purposely allowed licensed firearms dealers to sell weapons to illegal straw buyers, hoping to track the guns to Mexican drug cartel leaders and arrest them".[6] These operations were done under the umbrella of Project Gunrunner, a project intended to stem the flow of firearms into Mexico by interdicting straw purchasers and gun traffickers within the United States.[7] The Jacob Chambers Case began in October 2009 and eventually became known in February 2010 as "Operation Fast and Furious" after agents discovered Chambers and the other suspects under investigation belonged to a car club.[1]

Note dates 2006 through 2011

And then Operation Castaway and Hugh Crumpler who began selling guns in 2007

Makes perfect sense!

LMAO, he's a shucker and jiver just like you__used to bill himself as the head of "the company." Of course, all the trumpbots and trolls gave him high marks.

More on the king of fake news

"Facebook seems to have received the most ire for fake news. Are there other places that have traction for misinformation?

I’m starting to see Facebook as just a spam machine. I haven’t really seen it on Twitter as much. I know in places like China and India are using chat platforms (like WhatsApp) to spread around disinformation.
I’ve tried to get things to pop on Reddit, but the community of users is a bit more skeptical and they hop on things that are fake pretty quickly.

Facebook was really the key to the whole thing. 90 percent of our traffic came directly from Facebook.
The audiences are just so different on Facebook and Twitter. Grandmas are on Facebook, there’s more of a family/community thing. One day Grandma joins a Trump group and now Grandma’s getting a constant stream of fringe sources. Before you know it, Grandma has been “red-pilled’ and is a full blown radical.

I'd like to believe that most people on here realize by now that I'm a Conservative and a Liberal (in the true sense of those words original meaning) not the bastardized meanings that both the left and right wingers have turned them into.

That said, a few of us, myself and some of the left wing heavy hitters (mostly the Latino guys from Cali) knew Posi before he snapped and invented his "Firm".

We were on the 'President Failed us thread' I think Teaman visited that thread too, about as much as I did.
Anyway, Posi was a good guy and to be honest a few of us felt sorry for him ( his sudden change to the Firm) we even tried to bring him back so to speak.
We failed obviously.
Nonetheless I remember the original Posi, and I might not be shy enough to not tell him off from time to time, I will always remember who he used to be, not a bad guy.
 
I just wanted to put this on here.

"...Trump Is Surrounded
The president thrives on having an opponent to villainize. With impeachment, there are too many to choose from.

It is a strategy that President Donald Trump has deployed throughout his life, as instinctive and natural to him as the act of breathing: Villainize whoever is blocking his way.

Distasteful as Trump’s taunts might be, ridiculing adversaries has been the blunt-force instrument that propelled his political rise, with the president turning people into targets of scorn. As the impeachment fight enters its public phase, though, Trump faces a quandary. His go-to move may be inadequate in this moment for the very same reason the impeachment threat is so grave. There may be too many accusers who believe he shook down Ukraine, too many people who find fault with his behavior for the president to smack with a rhetorical mallet..."

Certainly possible but I am thinking, panic attack mistaken for a cardiac event.
 
Like a rat in a trap, he has realized his peril as the testimony during the impeachment hearings becomes more and more damning and witnesses are lining up to deliver more.
He just had his annual this past spring and he tweeted last night that this was the "first part of his annual physical"? A two parter? lol

Somethings not right about this.

Still going with panic attack.  That would also explain why they are lying about it.

He is 93 and most of the falls have been caused from the previous ones he has had. They told that the other day in the news. If they didn't want the public to know that than they would not have told that. At 93, it doesn't surprise me that he has fallen, it happens a lot when older people reach that age.

You would think at 93 he would be more careful, I have a hunch something else is going on with him. I think the news is phoney, it gotta be more than falls. I know if I were his age, I would be very careful not to fall. Plus he was our former President, you'd think there would be a nursing staff around him at all times, or someone to keep an eye out for him so he don't fall. He surely has the money for this.

Men, and often women, who are used to doing have a hard time adjusting when they can no longer do. They tend to leave their walking assistance behind, or try to jump up and move quickly thinking they are still spring chickens and then topple over.   No great mystery there.
