I know I must be missing something obvious, but where in the article do they quote Comey saying President Trump wasn't under investigation?
I misspoke, Trump might be under investigation by the FBI but Comey isn't directly involved. If Comey is fired or not, it doesnt change a possible investigation. From what I have read so far, more evidence points to Clinton collaborating with the Russians than anyone else.

re-read this.
then re-read it again.
then tell me if you want to stick with it.
So the quantifiable data she obtained through her job led to the FACT that 50% of recipients abused entitlements. Soften the blow a Bit?

Please provide a link to a legitimate source documenting those statements by Comey.
You provide a link to a legitimate source stating he was investigating Trump.

sorry for the delay...I was working (irony?)
as to your factual article...you quite literally linked an opinion piece...on SSDI, which differs from SSI...the sorts of benefits oldguy was referencing having received. she does have numbers, but provides them little if any context and lays them out over inconsistent periods of time purposely for a sticker-shock effect.and no...I don't have definitive numbers...no one does...if it were possible to accurately identify all the fraud in any given system it would become pretty easy to eliminate. this article does a decent job of trying to make some sense of the numbers, but more providing context as to where (as in the perpetrators) large scale fraud has been found as well as comparing the rates of government-program fraud to those that occur in the private sector https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/08/just-how-wrong-is-conventional-wisdom-about-government-fraud/278690/
my problem is that without any semblance of real quantifiable data a person would express an opinion like "too many become accustomed to living off the handouts of the government" because the leaders of their political ethos (or apparently their admin aunt) have parroted it to that point that it feels right to them.
I don't need you rushing to SNAP judgement like this
Aunt administration, I didn't say that, you made it up. Is it possible, just possible, that her opinion on abuse was based on quantifiable data?

That's according to President Trump.
No, that was stated by Comey on numerous occasions.

I didn't say it was "true". I said it 'appeared' to be that Trump was covering his butt. That appearance still holds.
Not really, Comey stated numerous times he wasn't investigating Trump.

I hear it's going to be huge! Hopefully the fake media isn't covering it.

How foolish do people feel now that they know that Brice wasn't involved after they slandered his name. How embarrassing for these UNT alumni.
They won't admit it. In fact, some on here spout so much crap they probably can't remember much of what they have posted

I could not care less. I find this board amusing.

Great article. Impeccable sources,
Anyway, I think the school is doing the right thing. I'd be more concerned if one of Grant's new players were caught in a prostitution/drug thing. As it stands, the problem occurred almost a month after Benford was fired, and the players involved were out of eligibility or transferring.
But UNT cant do anything right...

To be fair, I did turn down employment that paid less than the benefits I was receiving a couple of times. It didn't make economic sense, and I had a very young child with well child pediatrician visits to consider. Took me about nine months to find a job that would cover the rent and offer insurance.
cheating scoundrel!!!

I got laid off after 9/11 when my daughter was 103 days old. I got WIC, unemployment, medicaid, and state funded vocational training. Thank the sweet baby Jeebus that I'm black.
And you used it the way it was meant to be used, as a temporary helping hand to make ends meet until you gained employment again. It's not supposed to be a way of life but sadly too many people are content living on handouts.

So using UNT90's line of reasoning, all County and State investigations should funnel up to federal agencies so there is no perceived improprieties.

Yes the football players who raped girls at Baylor are responsible for their actions, but Art Briles is responsible for bringing them in (despite prior red flags), and failing to act when it was discovered.
Dude? Okay. What red flags did they display in high school before Benford brought them here.

I mean, if he knew about the prostitution ring and did nothing to stop it, he certainly isn't accountable, is he?
Rah rah rah, sis Boom bag.
I wonder if any clients are on this site. Lol.
He will never blame UNT for anything. If RV himself had led this prostitution ring, Machine would give him a pass because, dagnamit, he is just such a good guy other than a little whorin'.
Wait... RV... Whorin'...
This can't be a coincidence! Maybe their business model was based off of RV's OOC scheduling! Examples mater!!!
But you don't know what Benford knew or didn't know. You are just being a complete asshole and you know it.

Ok, once again, that argument hasn't worked for any coach ever when this type of thing happens. The difference is the coach brings them on campus. You talk to their coach's to see what type of kid they are. Maybe there were absolutely no red flags, but that's almost never the case. Any coach will tell you they are responsible for their players on and off the court.
ETA: my position is not to place blame on the current coaching staff or AD. It still is and has always been to emphasize how dysfunctional the program was under RV and the residual effects of that dysfunction. Losing programs lose in all facets. I'm just glad that era is over.
That's why kids are so immature these days, they aren't held responsible for their actions. I don't care what anybody says, off the court these kids were 100% responsible for what they did.

The school certainly isn't treating it like it's amateurish. Anything involving this type of thing draws major questions. The fact that it involves at least 2 people associate with the team invokes questions about the team culture, to say the least. Yes, maybe he didn't have direct knowledge, but do you think no one on the team did? These guys are all buddies. Maybe no one wants to snitch but what does that say about the respect for their coach?
I'm partly just airing grievances because I'm a firm believer that a bad coach permeates into more than just bad basketball. It's an entire dysfunctional culture that is just beyond frustrating. Maybe not to this extent, but we heard very similar reports out of the football team when McCarney was here. When you lose your team it shows on the field/court and off. Just my 2 cents.
People are responsible for their own actions, doesnt matter what Benford did or didn't do.

Do you trust any of the sleazeballs? It's crazy the amount of crap coming from both sides of the aisle.
