Incuriosity - GOP/Hastert Failure to Investigate

[TahitiNut]

"Nobody told me."
"Nobody could have known they'd hijack..."

It is necessary to listen very closely to the throne-sitters when they proclaim ignorance as their virtue and understand that a failure to investigate and a failure to instruct staff to even notify them of "concerns being raised" is a pattern of covering up complicity and managing their own direct knowledge in a manner that seeks plausible deniability.

As I posted into the eye of the DU Foleygasm, deliberate and pre-planned ignorance is no excuse! In a just system, no authority should be granted without a commensurate assignment of responsibility. People in positions of authority have a duty to be curious, a duty to investigate, a duty to learn, and a duty to act. When it's clearly and abundantly shown that the information was available and almost beating down the door to the Speaker's Office, his denial of knowledge is an admission of guilt.

"I didn't know" what was known is a crime of complicity through inaction and incuriosity on the part of a person in charge; in a position of responsibility, in a position of authority.

This needs to be thoroughly comprehended. "Plausible deniability" CANNOT be a defense - it's the Hallmark of Corruption!
