Former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick's entry into the 2020 Democratic presidential race is drawing renewed scrutiny toward his efforts to oust officials who had tried to put his brother-in-law, a convicted rapist, on the state's sex offender registry.
Patrick's brother-in-law Bernard Sigh was first convicted of spousal rape in 1993 and was again convicted of raping Patrick's sister earlier this year, The Washington Post reported.
Patrick in 2014 said that he had forced out two Sex Offender Registry Board officials over their attempts to overturn a hearing officer's decision to keep Sigh off the registry, arguing that the officials' actions were not appropriate, according to the Post.

Everyone knows that democrats DO NOT commit sex crimes, so, this must be racissssst!!!! Putin probably ordered Trump to order some minion to attack Patricks innocent brother. Or maybe it was the Ukrainians that ordered Trump to do this. Right, media?

If watching prostitutes urinate on a bed is a high crime, this IS a higher crime.

Obama attempts a twofer, blocking Biden AND Hillary by pushing Patrick into the mix. Hillary responds by serving Patrick a taste of the dirt deluge that would follow should Patrick decide to enter HER race.

I need to re-word my comment:
If being accused of watching prostitutes urinate on a bed is a high crime, this IS a higher crime.

What a coincidence. Just yesterday, PBS' Judy Woodruff and her liberal goon squad were discussing what a wonderful candidate that Patrick would make and they wanted him to join the Clown Car immediately. It's amazing how the many faults of democrats are overlooked when they put that "D" after their name. Her squad member David Brooks looks sane until he opens his mouth but Mark Shields looks like something that spends most of its time in a swamp.

Here's an idea. Put the two fired officials back on this panel, and fire the one who made the bogus decision in the first place. He should be gone for pandering to the former governor. Being a close friend of Obama, I would not be surprised if he wants to be the third term of Obama. We do not need anymore ambiguous males in the WH.

There should be plenty of dirt. Coupe Deval is a dirt bag. The silence you hear is the left complaining that he works for Bain Capital. Just ask MIttens how that works.

Its the Chicago Way. Born Jul 31, 1956, Chicago, Illinois. I think voters are pretty sick of that, and that is why they voted for Donald Trump.

From Aug. 2017: Valarie Jarrett, Obama’s former senior advisor, told Politico President Patrick is what “my heart desires.”

Now you know why Obama has not come out to support Biden who was his Vice-President for eight years. That’s because Patrick will be Obama’s candidate in the 2020 election. Both Obama and Patrick came to political prominence with the assistance of the same Chicago based political operatives and operation. If elected Patrick would be Obama volume two.

And, the stench of political corruption from the Democrats continues to rise.

This almost smells like a bit of Clinton "Opposition Research". Just in the event that she decides to ride to the democrat's rescue on her customized heavy duty broom complete with chardonnay wine rack.

In the end, regardless of the primary process, it will be the Democrat movers and shakers are going to pick the Democrat nominee and Obama is going to have a lot to say about that. That’s the way it has been for decades.

Bernard Sigh took an insanity plea (he's crazy about it!) Patrick would get more votes if he just admitted his BIL is a serial S.O.

After 8 years of the destructive and pernicious Won, who'd want another one running the show, especially a Barry picked one?
