I hope all of those FBI agents get fired or demoted to the mail room and the reporters go to jail.

Sounds fair - right?  

Romney might have been a more even-handed SC than Mueller, and Mittens despises Trump.

The Mueller Report describes, in excruciating detail and with relatively few redactions, a candidate and a campaign aware of the existence of a plot by a hostile foreign government to criminally interfere in the U.S. election for the purpose of supporting that candidate’s side. It describes a candidate and a campaign who welcomed the efforts and delighted in the assistance. It describes a candidate and a campaign who brazenly and serially lied to the American people about the existence of the foreign conspiracy and their contacts with it. And yet, it does not find evidence to support a charge of criminal conspiracy, which requires not just a shared purpose but a meeting of the minds.

Can someone share with me the evidence of the allegation that Trump and his campaign were aware of Russia wanting to interfere with the elections to assist with his victory?  I'm not being coy, I know of a couple stated episodes but none show this.  Even if you support Trump but know of what they are talking about, please link it.

Lawfare is the heart of the resistance. They're not a serious organization, heavily partisan and got nearly every single thing wrong to date about Trump/Russia. Those who continue to take them seriously are demonstrating their own lack of critical thinking.

They're talking about two things: 1) the Trump Tower meeting and 2) "Russia if you're listening, find the emails!"

 

Neither are examples of what they wish them to be, of course, but those are the instances they're referring to.

This would be like the Ravens being upset with the Bill's for rooting for the Bengals against the Ravens and even though the Bill's never communicated with the Bengals in how to defeat  them.  But they did cheer them on and there are some Bill's players who know some Bengals, that connection could mean they somehow assisted with the Ravens loss.

So the Russia tower meeting was to meet with that lawyer chick.  I keep hearing she has "Kremlin ties" or "ties to Putin"

 

Sounds ominous

 

Then after a little research that is a complete mischaracterization of who she is.  She represented an officer for one of the state-owned Railways companies.  Since its state-owned, it is now considered close ties to the "Kremlin"?  That's about all I could find about what she has done.

 

That child adoption thing is something that she was lobbying for which was at odds of what Putin wanted.  She was no more a "government" lawyer than any run-of-the-mill Russian lawyer.  Complete mischaracterization of who she is.  

 

"Russia release the emails".  Well....we know that's not evidence.  That's campaign bluster Trump style.

 

I knew of these two things but is there something else because if not then this parroted quote that they had knowledge of the Russian government wanting to assist with their campaign is unsubstantiated unless there is something else that I'm not aware of.

The only thing you might not be aware of, is Natalia's direct ties to Fusion GPS/Glenn Simpson. She was hired by Fusion GPS to do work on the Magnitsky Act lobbying they were a part of (and Prevezon lawsuit). She met with Glenn Simpson immediately before the Trump Tower meeting and then again immediately after, despite Simpson testifying to congress that he does not speak Russian and she does not speak English. 

 

I'm a silver lining guy, and while I think what's been done to the country during this bruhaha is awful, it's hilarious to me that every single piece of "evidence" the resistance has long been clinging to/holding up as proof of collusion actually implicates the Clinton campaign/Obama DOJ/FBI/IC in a much more criminal way. :lol:

If Trump offhandedly joking during a campaign speech or debate is in fact a crime can someone tell me why he wasn’t immediately arrested and hauled off the stage? Answer....it’s NOT a crime!  My goodness people stop this already. 

 

C'mon man, you know the 1st Amendment only applies when you agree with the liberals.

Which aside from being the truth is also stunningly un-liberal of them. In the 60's and 70's liberals were all about freedom of speech and expression, and now they're too preoccupied with telling everyone else what they can and can't say. They're so devoted to leftist/socialist/Marxist causes that they're not liberal at all any more.

What ever happened to "I may not agree with you, but I will fight for your right to say it."?

Last time I said that to someone, I was told it was racist since it enabled Nazis.

From the Washington post: 

 

Quote

Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III expressed his concerns in a letter to William P. Barr after the attorney general publicized Mueller’s principal conclusions. The letter was followed by a phone call during which Mueller pressed Barr to release executive summaries of his report.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.

Tomorrow is a public hearing that allows Democrats to ask questions of Barr, correct?

More accurately it's a group of soulless cretins yammering on for minutes, weaving a fantastical tale of high crime and treason, and finishing the soliloquy with some words strung together loosely designed to appear to be a question.  This allows another group of cretins to cut and paste sound bites to present to the American people a predetermined narrative and to opine that AG Barr was "combatative" "under the gun" and "disregarded the concerns of the SC". 

 

In other words, business as usual.
