IDBillzFan Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Does anyone remember back when the left was falsely accusing Sessions about lying under oath about some Russian meeting or something? It seems like that was...what? Seven or eight months ago? Maybe longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 A Special Prosecutor . . . For What? by Andrew C. McCarthy Original Article So, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has recused himself. Great! Just one question: From what? Yes, yes, Sessions is a good and decent man. He is a scrupulous lawyer who cares about his reputation. Thus, in stark contrast to Obama administration attorneys general, he strictly applied — I’d say he hyper-applied — the ethical standard that calls on a lawyer to recuse himself from a matter in which his participation as counsel would create the mere appearance of impropriety.

Guest Diesel-USMC Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) It's amazing that all of sudden people not comfortable with Trump, are barking for people to be held accountable for things they may have done wrong. Good thing the previous administration or Hillary didn't conduct themselves this way. Could you imagine how long of a list that would be....? Better late than never, I suppose. Woof. Woof.

Guest Diesel-USMC Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 of foreign influence or something else? Everything. These issues that people are finding themselves at odds with over Trump, are actually nothing as detrimental as what kind of foreign influence that had infiltrated the social and political fabric of this country under the watch of some of the more prolific presidents of the past. That's the strange thing. People are eager to accept that Trump could be in business discussions with foreign entities simply because they don't like the guy but won't accept that the more detrimental relationships with foreign entities have been hidden within administrations prior to Trump.

I'll just say you have a very interesting avatar to go along with the content of this post... which I agree with. No one on the left bats an eye at the out-house of Saud's relationship to previous US administrations -- because they honestly believe they were donating to the Clinton Foundation because the Saudis care so much about the plight of women and minorities around the world...

Accepting money to a charity that actually helps people should cause people to get angry? Heck, if bad people want to give money that goes to good things, great! What's the problem? And I do remember Bush being called out for Saudi connections, but has there been evidence of Saudi's undermining our political process? I mean aside from donating to a charity?

From Nazis to Jihadists, the US's bar for friendship is mighty low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Russians didn't undermine anything. Accusations by those who are surprised and perturbed they lost is not proof.

So you don't think Russian interference in our election process and possible ties to Trump associates is a detrimental relationship that should be investigated, as well as Trump's business ties to Russia? Trump could clear a lot up by listing all his associates who have had contact with Russians, and release his tax returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember how upset the political left was when as SoS, Hillary Clinton laundered millions through the Clinton Foundation from terrorist states in exchange special favors? Neither does anyone else.

You mean like when Hillary tried to get the Ukraine to sabotage Trump campaign? Yes. It should all be investigated. Let's get started. Wait. Let me guess. It as different with Hillary, amirite?

From Nazis to Jihadists, the US's bar for friendship is mighty low. All countries have that low a bar, or lower. Israel worked with Iran through the 80's. France didn't just maintain relations with the Interahamwe, they actively supported the Rwandan genocide. Hitler and Stalin were BFFs for almost two years. The British, despite being rabidly anti-slavery, were within weeks of declaring their support for the CSA. There simply are no ideals in geopolitics. Only interests. So you don't think Russian interference in our election process and possible ties to Trump associates is a detrimental relationship that should be investigated, as well as Trump's business ties to Russia? Trump could clear a lot up by listing all his associates who have had contact with Russians, and release his tax returns. The 80's called, they want their foreign policy back.
