Trump: I could show you 100 photos of Mueller, Comey 'hugging and kissing each other'

Source: The Hill



BY MEGAN KELLER - 09/05/18 01:11 PM EDT

President Trump in a new interview claimed special counsel Robert Mueller was former FBI director James Comey's "best friend," a comment that comes as Trump continues to rail against what he alleges are conflicts of interest in the ongoing federal probe into Russian election meddling.

“[Mueller’s] Comey’s best friend,” Trump told The Daily Caller in an interview released Wednesday. “And I could give you 100 pictures of him and Comey hugging and kissing each other. You know, he’s Comey’s best friend.”

Trump made the comment as he detailed the conflicts of interests he claims are at play in Mueller’s probe into alleged collusion between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia.

“How can you possibly have a man who is that,” Trump said of Mueller.

Executive Order 10450

President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued Executive Order 10450 on April 27, 1953. Effective May 27, 1953, it revoked President Truman's Executive Order 9835 of 1947, and dismantled its Loyalty Review Board program. Instead it charged the heads of federal agencies and the Office of Personnel Management, supported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), with investigating federal employees to determine whether they posed security risks. It expanded the definitions and conditions used to make such determinations.

And in particular:

The ban on lesbian and gay federal workers

Under the order thousands of lesbian and gay applicants were barred from federal employment and over 5,000 federal employees were fired under suspicions of being homosexual. It came as a part of the US "Lavender Scare" witch hunts which contributed to and complemented the McCarthyist Red Scare. From 1947 to 1961 the number of firings based on sexual orientation were far greater than those for membership in the Communist party. It was not until 1973 that a federal judge ruled that a person's sexual orientation alone could not be the sole reason for termination from federal employment, and not until 1975 that the United States Civil Service Commission announced that they would consider applications by gays and lesbians on a case by case basis.

Without explicitly referring to homosexuality, the executive order responded to several years of charges that the presence of homosexual employees in the State Department posed blackmail risks. Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. explained that the new order was designed to encompass both loyalty and security risks and he differentiated between the two: "Employees could be a security risk and still not be disloyal or have any traitorous thoughts, but it may be that their personal habits are such that they might be subject to blackmail by people who seek to destroy the safety of our country." The executive order had the effect of banning gay men and lesbians from working for any agency of the federal government.
....

Repealing the order

In 1975, the U.S. Civil Service Commission ended a ban on gays and lesbians in the federal civil service. In 1977, the State Department lifted a policy barring gays from employment in the Foreign Service. Around the same time, the IRS ended its policy of requiring "homosexual education and charity groups to publicly state that homosexuality is a 'sickness, disturbance, or diseased pathology'" before obtaining section 501 tax-exempt status.

The order's language restricting national security access based on sexual provision was also repealed in 1995 when President Bill Clinton signed Executive Order 12968, which stated that "The United States Government does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation in granting access to classified information." The order's language concerning employment and sexual provision was also repealed when Clinton signed executive order Executive Order 13087 in 1998.

The order was explicitly repealed in 2017, when President Obama signed Executive Order 13764, the last of his Administration.

Not sure how much traction that will get in 2018, but "nothing ventured, nothing gained," amirite?

From the regulation regarding gay people,

"... but it may be that their personal habits are such that they might be subject to blackmail by people who seek to destroy the safety of our country."


And yet it's Trump, a straight man, who can't keep his dick in his pants, and has to pay off pornstars and Playboy models to try to avoid blackmail/scandal.

Point-blank..."Mr. President, you claimed to have been in possession of knowledge pertaining to the birth certificate of President Obama that was shocking and quote 'you wouldn't believe what I'm hearing' end quote. Can you please produce this information, its sources and confirm its validity for the nation today? And if you cannot, will you beg forgiveness for being nothing more than a race baiting son of a bitch and usurper? Thank you..."

I imagine that people of the extremely selective and elite club of former FBI Directors have an admiration for the work they do, the principles they hold and uphold, and the entire organization. It doesn't get much more elite anywhere, unless of course you consider former Senators, perhaps, or former Presidents. Ex-Presidents hug on occasion don't they? Show me some pics of former Presidents hugging at reunions, at important meetings. The intimate greetings are due to their backgrounds and their insider status and achievements. All of this is circumstantial. It's not a conspiracy against Donald the Stupid.
