Hawley Goes All RINO
Timothy Birdnow
Not sure what happened to Josh Hawley but he really messed up big time with this.
Trump Torches GOP Sen For Blocking Effort Investigating Pelosi Stock Trades
When Hawley first ran for the Senate he was Missouri's Attorney General and a good one. But he allowed the legal lynching of Republican (former Democrat) Governor Eric Greitens by a partisan hack BLM St. Louis city attorney named Kim Gardner, who broke multiple laws in her witch hunt. Greitens was railroaded and Hawley stood back and let it happen when he could have stopped it. I was very angry at him for that (even though Greitens was something of a dirtbag as any Democrat is). If you let them get away with that once they will do it again and again. Hawley could have shut her down, and could have prosecuted her for crimes (she solicited the complaint, for instance, going so far as to meet the complainant in a motel in Illinois before filing charges, and she hired a private investigator to find evidence rather than use the SLPD, she hid evidence, she gave surprise evidence, etc.) Hawley was running for the Senate and feared angering black voters by doing anything about Gardner, a black woman and BLM enthusiast.
Since then Hawley has been quite good, but he appears to be returning to form here. Why?
Not only has Hawley spiked a report on Nancy Pelosi's unsavory, perhaps illegal, trading practices but he also joined with Democrats in trying to limit President Trump's authority to trade and own stocks.
Trump smacks him down good:
Pelosi was quite enthusiastic about the stock trading bill, and that should be a huge red flag.
Trump said:
Senator Rick Scott, who sponsored the bill to investigate Pelosi, was disgusted with Hawley and the scheme to ban stock trading (which Mr. Trump has long done). Scott rightly pointed out that this is just another weapon the Democrats are going to try to use against Mr. Trump.
The fact is this ban is aimed at getting Pelosi off the political hook; she can say she supported restrictions. It's like when John Mccain supported campaign finance reform after he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

Trump smacks him down good:
Josh Hawley from the Great State of Missouri, join with all of the Democrats to block a Review, sponsored by Senator Rick Scott, and with the support of almost all other Republicans, of Nancy Pelosi’s Stock Trading over the last 25 years,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post. "The Democrats, because of our tremendous ACHIEVEMENTS and SUCCESS, have been trying to ‘Target’ me for a long period of time, and they’re using Josh Hawley, who I got elected TWICE, as a pawn to help them.”
Pelosi was quite enthusiastic about the stock trading bill, and that should be a huge red flag.
Trump said:
"I wonder why Hawley would pass a Bill that Nancy Pelosi is in absolute love with — He is playing right into the dirty hands of the Democrats,” Trump wrote. "It’s a great Bill for her, and her ‘husband,’ but so bad for our Country!”
Senator Rick Scott, who sponsored the bill to investigate Pelosi, was disgusted with Hawley and the scheme to ban stock trading (which Mr. Trump has long done). Scott rightly pointed out that this is just another weapon the Democrats are going to try to use against Mr. Trump.

If you ask me (yes, I know you didn't, but I'm throwing my tuppence into the pot anyhow), I think the Republicans in Congress should take its cues from the President and not even bother to ask why. And quite frankly, I think any Democrats who have an IQ above 99 should go along, too -- if there are any such.

I wholly agree Dana. Trump shows he's several moves ahead of his opponents on most occasions and the GOP is not. They are playing tiddly-winks and Trump three D chess.
They've also not yet learned the media will never like them, and the Democrats won't play fair with them. This is a war, not a cricket match.
Not sure what Hawley's angle is here. He no doubt is playing some sort of game, but it is a foolish game indeed. Piss Trump off and he can support, say, Andrew Bailey (Missouri AG) to fill Hawley's seat next time. I guess Hawley figures, since he was just re-elected, he can pull this kind of thing and all will be forgotten. But I suspect Trump has a long memory, and will still exert quite a bit of influence over the GOP after he's out of office.
