Trump has only ever participated in one presidential election, which he won, so you really have no basis to compare what his “MO” may or may not be when losing an election. You’re grasping for straws to set off some fear mongering tyranny alarms. You’re Alex Jones circa 2012.
I didn't say it wasn't a crime. I said I doubt they'll be able to charge anyone for it. Because they probably won't be able to find out who leaked. barfo
Read most of the comments and for me, it comes down to 2 things, 1. Are we/you better off now than we/you were 4 years ago. 2. Between Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, who is the better/more electable candidate?
Can they? Because the Trump administration leaks like a sieve, and Trump is reportedly upset about that. Yet he doesn't seem to be able to stop it, or prosecute any of the leakers. Unless the government is spying on all government employees and all reporters, I don't see how they will have a record to consult. barfo
I'm taking nothing back because I did not say that. Here's what I said "It was supposed to be imminent several months ago." Now you tell me where I said there was a criminal investigation of Comey. Perhaps you don't understand 'imminent' especially when joined with "supposed to be imminent". All you had to do was ask.
Absolutely... Let’s put this in context. I said, “There is an active criminal investigation” and then you said there was an investigation of Comey. First of all, there were no investigations of Comey “yet.” And if you think the IG report was that investigation of Comey, I disagree. The IG was investigating everyone involved with the Russia Investigation. Second, replying to my statement of a criminal investigation implies the criminal investigation will be on Comey. If I read that wrong, I’ll stand corrected.
Who else finds it ironic that the right is now claiming someone used the government to go after a political opponent? It's like the man is incapable of not going "nuh uh, you did it!"
Wait, the president knew about an investigation about the incoming national security advisor? And that is bad why?
One of the reason I left both the democratic and republican party was all the dogmatic positions people took, only because it aligned with the party affiliation. There just didn't seem to be a give and take approach anymore through comprise to get things done. And now Im very glad I did because my concerns and predictions have amplified to the point where its obvious either side is only interested in proving the other side wrong, through hate and unwillingness to work together, at least to set a good example to the younger generation. The tribal animosity and arrogance of ,Im right, and you're wrong, gotcha, forms of communicating anymore are basically cheating young people the right to learn to effectively communicate and compromise and be respectful of people with differing points of views. They are being forced to take sides and beat the other side at all cost. Look at the various tribal wars that have gone on for centuries in various parts of the world. They cant shake it, it's what they've learned and how they live. I'm bothered because it's happening here at a fast pace. It is good to know there still are families that try and instill within their kids to be respectful of others points of views and to learn to communicate without getting all sideways because someone disagree's with them and they cant get their way all the time. I vote issues and beliefs that I have, and it's usually a representation of both liberal and conservatives views. I respect both sides positions, and the people that have them, as long as they can be civil and considerate.
Because they had to find something to pin on Obama that sounded at least plausible, hoping people wouldn't actually look into it, and just believe it without questioning it. Which never happens...
