njbuff Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 4 minutes ago, Nineforty said: Volume I of Mueller Report stuff: Evidence of collusion (which is not a crime, I know) 1. Paul Manafort and Rick Gates (2016 Trump campaign manager/officials) were giving polling info to a Russian national that Gates thought was a "Spy" 2. Trump called on Russia to find Clinton's emails and ordered Flynn to find em. 3. Papadopoulos tried arranging meetings between Trump and Putin and Trump approved this work. 4. Don Jr created a meeting with the sole reason of obtaining Russian dirt on Clinton and Papadopoulos was offered similar stuff from a Russian agent. 5. Manafort meets with Konstantin Kilimnik repeatedly (connected to GRU). Kiliminik wanted to bring in person, a peace plan for Ukraine that even Manafort admitted to Mueller's team that it was a backdoor way for Russia to get Crimea. There is so so so much more but I realized it's not worth going through 20 more bullet points. What the fvck did I just read? For starters, you do know that what Trump said about Russia and finding Hillary’s emails was a joke, right? You just proved how disingenuous you are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is nothing to indict someone, then where’s the crime? There is no in between, you either committed a crime or you did not commit a crime. Pretty simple. ...he's an easier question.....the corruption of the FBI on Comey's watch is vast, scurrilous and ripe with political partisanship....should we believe that EVERYTHING was SQUEAKY clean on Bob's watch and the Bureau went to hell after he left solely because of Comey?......seriously?.....the depth and extent of corruption was WELL ingrained with Sleepy Bob at the helm....special (COUGH) prosecutor appointment is the epitome of the "fox watchin' the hen house"......

You’re arguing that Mueller knew Trump was guilty of what would amount to treason, and had enough evidence to prove it (despite writing in his report the direct opposite — but leave that for now) — yet did not do so because HE BELIEVES IN THE IMPORT OF A NON BINDING MEMO FROM AN OFFICE THAT NO ONE TAKES SERIOUSLY. And, as a result, Trump has forever changed the federal judiciary, changed the balance of SCOTUS, passed major legislation... But Mueller just sat on his hands and let it happen because of the OLC? That’s weapons grade stupidity, is it not? my sides. oh Jesus. You’re beyond lost. 1) That “Russian national” was an ACTIVE STATE DEPARTMENT SOURCE. Meaning, he was on our team — not Putin’s. (strike one) 2) Trump never ordered Flynn to find them, and if you’re hanging your belief on “Russia, if you’re listening” then I suggest your sense of humor meter needs adjusting. (strike two) 3) G-Pop did not “try to arrange” meetings, even if he had, it’s not illegal. (foul tip) 4) Don Jr did NOT orchestrate that meeting. Fusion GPS did. (Strike three) 5) See one. You just proved you’re very good at not thinking for yourself but excellent at being propagandize by proven liars with motive and agendas to do so. This is why I asked to be put on his ignore list. He appears to be an incubatory carrier of TDS and I want no part of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said you didn't shed a tear for RS, and have gone on to explain why you think its wrong for this sort of thing to happen. If you're in the center, you should shed a tear for both--not just the people you support. We should agree on that, and yet you seem comfortable with it where Stone is concerned. Len, the point is Stone's treatment was no way rough, compared with what I described as common arrest tactics. The Stone arrest looked like they had more force than was necessary, true, but a very common tactic and so, not unusual. Again, my point is, that no knock arrests happen all the time and to an even worse degree, as demonstrated by the cannabis raids. Right, no. Unusual or especially rough for Stone, no. What I recall seeing was very tame Edited February 14, 2020 by Bob in Mich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see if you and your family agree with your opinion the next time a SWAT Team pulls you over as you pull into your driveway for failing to signal at the intersection.

There was no one shot, no dead pets, no one thrown down to the ground, no violence at all. It was very tame. Was it necessary to have that many officers? No, but that is how it is done all the time.

ALF Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Trump's 'Deep State' conspiracy theory just took a big hit That conspiracy theory, which has never had much merit, suffered a near-fatal blow Friday afternoon when the Department of Justice declined to pursue criminal charges against former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe. https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/14/politics/andrew-mccabe-donald-trump-department-of-justice/index.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IG report points out that McCabe lied under oath or at least "lacked candor". McCabe also dropped his lawsuit against DOJ for wrongful termination late last year. Was some kind of deal cut? https://thedcpatriot.com/former-fbi-deputy-director-andrew-mccabe-drops-wrongful-termination-suit-against-doj/ Also, it's pretty disingenuous on Cilliza's part to mention Flynn in the article and to ignore the recent Flynn case evolution.
