April, 2019, Political Class Insanity, Part 6: More Congressional Computer Hacking, You're A Racist If YOu Disagree With This Judge, and Maxine Walters Ignorance...Again

It is another month which means it is again time to review the latest political class insanity from Washington and around the world. Political class insanity takes many forms including the wasting of taxpayer wealth, criminal fraud within government programs, inane and stupid political quotes and actions, the inability to create and implement effective and efficient government programs, stupid and ill performing economic policies and strategies, and other forms of insanity that continue to evolve and surprise and shock us.

Let’s get started:

1) Several years Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz got into hot water because she allowed foreign citizen data professionals do work for Democrats in Congress. Things did not go well, with sensitive, classified information getting swiped by some of the data professionals. Wasserman-Schultz then went wild trying to prevent investigators from getting access to Congressional computers since it would prove how careless she was with government data.

Seems that scandal is lingering and growing in ways that were recently reported on the Freedom Outpost website:

• Jackson Cosko, a data professional formerly working for U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan, recently admitted that he stole tens of thousands of Congressional documents, credit card numbers, Social Security numbers and the ENTIRE contents of the network drive of Hassan’s office.
• It is alleged that he stole private data about other Senators to embarrass them during the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearings.
• Cosko took a plea deal for his actions and admitted he worked with an accomplice who helped him get access to the computers to steal the data.
• News reports point to another staff Hassan staff member, Samantha DeForest-Davis, as the accomplice.
• Apparently, the two of them worked for months getting access and stealing the data and information.
• Hassan had already been fired by Hassan for other, unrelated issues but DeForest-Davis helped him gain access to computer rooms and computers: “Deforest-Davis — identified in court documents only as SUBJECT A — allegedly repeatedly provided Cosko a key that he used to enter the office at night and install tiny devices that capture every keystroke, including passwords which were then used to access further materials, according to the statement. After Cosko was caught in the act by a Hassan staffer in October 2018, the accomplice went to the office and wiped down keyboards and mice to erase any fingerprints, prosecutors said.”
• Even more disturbing is the reality that Hassan serves on the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs so she probably has access to highly sensitive information, information that may have been compromised by a fired former employee.
• Court documents said Cosko feared that his “termination” by Hassan in May 2018 would stymie his career, but Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas hired him soon after. 

Despite being fired by a Senator, and subsequently breaking into that Senator’s office and her computers, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee actually hired Cosko to work on her computers in her office. You cannot make this insanity up. What a mess, these politicians in Congress expect us to trust them when they cannot even be trusted to secure vital government information?

2) Daniel Greenfield, writing for the Freedom Outpost website on April 14, 2019, discussed a ridiculous but dangerous position of an Obama appointed judge:

• Judge Carlton Reeves was appointed by Obama.
• He recently went off on this ridiculous rant: "When politicians attack courts as 'dangerous,' 'political,' and guilty of 'egregious overreach,' you can hear the Klan’s lawyers, assailing officers of the court across the South." 
• So if someone disagrees with a court ruling, he or she is a racist member of the KKK according to the good judge, the First Amendment be damned?
• He went on to rant that Trump is trying to bring the country to a "homogenous judiciary".

This is a judge who is out of control, wanting to suppress freedom of speech by designating someone with a different opinion of someone like him as a racist. 

3) So many members of Congress are so ignorant and out of touch with reality that it has kept this blog stocked with political class insanity for years:

• Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson, during a televised Congress hearing, voiced his opinion that the island of Guam in the Pacific Ocean could actually tip over if too many Navy resources were stationed there.
• Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee once wanted to know if a Mars rover vehicle was going to drive anywhere close to where Neil Armstrong landed on the moon.
• Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi once stated that the Obama Care legislation had to get passed so that we could all find out what was in it, i.e. she wanted to enact a law before actually reading it.
• New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has said so many incorrect, ignorant, and out of touch with reality falsehoods that she now has a recurring set of blog posts every month.

The above is just a sample of their idiocy. Consider how goofball Congresswoman Maxine Walters recently made a fool of herself during Congressional hearings:

• A bunch of bank CEOs were recently in front of a Congressional committee where the topic of student loans came up.
• Walters went on a little bit of a jag, citing statistics that showed a lot of people in this country had very high student loans that needed to be paid off.
• She then asked the CEOs what they and their banks planned to to do to ease the burden of student loans.
• She first asked Brian Monahan what his bank, Bank Of America, planned to do.
• Mr. Monahan answered: “We stopped making student loans in 2007 or so.” 
• She then asked Michael Corbat what his bank, Citigroup, planned to do with student loan burdens.
• Mr. Corbat answered: “We exited student lending in 2009.” 
• Still oblivious to her ignorance, she asked Jamie Dimon of J.P. Morgan what his bank planned to do about student loans.
• Mr. Dimon answered: “When the government took over student lending in 2010 or so, we stopped doing all student lending.” 
• When Walters FINALLY realized how ignorant she looked, she dropped the student loan line of questioning and moved on to small business.

What Walters should have know before going into a public Congressional hearing and making a fool of herself is that prior to 2010, private banks made student loans that were guaranteed by the Federal government. But Obama decided that year to cut the banks out of the student loan business altogether and have the Federal government serve students directly from a loan perspective.

But Walters and her staff were too stupid to do a little research ahead of time and educate themselves on reality. As a result, she shows another example of how ignorant and stupid many Congressional people have been and currently are, people that write, vote and enact laws affecting us all. And it appears that they do so from positions of ignorance and out of touch with reality.

Insecure Congressional computer systems, a racist judge, and Maxine Walters strikes again, making our case yet again for term limits. More insanity to follow.
