One question...Does Scooter, although he has resigned,
get to stay on the payroll like Mike Brown did? I don't think our tax dollars should be wasted like this...

Anybody thought about asking that question?

1. Good question; Brown resigned but is still getting paid, sadly.
They've gotta be making up the rules as they go along!

2. My bet is that Scooter is setting up a "virtual office" from
his home to keep doing his job, even though he "offically" resigned. He's "underground" now, which is an even more dangerous place to be. I may sound like I need a tin-foil hat on this one, but I would not put it past this bunch of crooks.

3. They'll just call him a 'consultant' - I doubt they'll even try to hide it
I mean, he just LIED to a grand jury, it isn't like he REALLY broke the law, you know! :sarcasm:

4. There are two or three options
Sc*oter gets paid as a "consultant" just like Br*wnie and stays on indefinitely to "assist" with details. He gets a fat paycheck from any one of a number of think tanks, possibly laundered through some fake consulting company. He lives off his personal wealth--I wonder what his public disclosure form looks like--someone figured out how to get Harri's.

5. We can ask, but the WH will claim executive priviledge
or some other classification to keep it secret. It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn he's getting a paycheck (probably at a substantial raise from his previous pay grade) for private consultation.

6. And, the thing about it....
continuing to paid a handsome paycheck gives him more incentive to "fall on his sword." These people are anti-American.
