So look for the Dominos to start falling as McCabe tries to cut a deal with DOJ to name names especially when the reality of jail time hits him square between the eyes. So while most of you were duped with the collusion farce and wore your hate Trump blinders, the real story lay hidden behind a protectionist press and a ineffective AJ. Get the popcorn out as it may turn out the real president who may face jail time is Obama.U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu has recommended moving forward with charges against Andrew McCabe, Fox News has learned, as the Justice Department rejects a last-ditch appeal from the former top FBI official and current CNN contributor.

Re: So It starts
The DOJ waited so long that the term for the grand jury expired. Why wait so long, hmmmm? Plus several DOJ prosecutors eventually left the case for the same reason, nothing was happening. And Washington DC juries are notoriously liberal and Trump haters, so things might not go the way you think woody.

Re: So It starts
Calling people names when you don't know the entire picture is premature and unbecoming. While indirectly you are correct, there is more going on here. Here is a excerpt to show a further inter-twinning:
McCabes leaks will lead to questions about other things and that is where this will get interesting.Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s review launched in March 2018 focuses on an FBI wiretap of Carter Page, a former policy adviser to Trump's campaign. The inspector general looked into whether the FBI violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, when it sought court-ordered surveillance of Page in late 2016. Horowitz examined the FBI's relationship and communication with Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer who was hired by a research firm working for Clinton's campaign and compiled a "dossier" alleging links between Russia and the Trump campaign.
And TG how delusional are you not to see how our democracy was being undermined with the hate by the left towards Trump?

Re: So It starts
Of course it has to do with Trump. Who cares about McCabe, other than to propagate some batsh!t conspiracy against Trump? Trump is why you say "when it is determined" and not "if it is determined." You have to believe the investigation is illegitimate, so you're here talking about "Dominos" falling, trying to infect us with your crazy.

And if you don't think Trump is kissing Putin's ass and Carter Page is just a poor victim in all this, wake the Hell up and start reading or listening to news sources other than Fox News. Now it's Ukraine that Trump's using for his nefarious deeds. He's essentially trying to blackmail them, siccing his lap dog Giuliani on Ukraine in order to "ask" them to find any kind of dirt on Joe Biden, all in return for $250 million in security assistance he's promised. Scratch my back or I'll slice up yours. Never mind that Ukraine hasn't ever found any dirt on Biden either. A subtle request to make up something perhaps? I'm quite sure Russia would love it if Trump withheld that money from a country Russia most certainly wants to annex. Don't you get it woody? Trump is neck deep in his bromance with Putin and he's screwing the U.S. while doing it. Our President is a damn TRAITOR and his hubris is getting so blatant, even you should eventually see it through your orange colored glasses. Why do you think our intelligence agencies kept their little Russian spy exfiltration job in 2017 a secret from President Trump WHILE they were doing it? Perhaps they were worried Trump might blab things to Putin before they got this spy and his family out of Russia? Remember, this particular inner circle spy gave us the solid information the Putin actually ordered his agencies to meddle in the 2016 U.S. election just to get Trump elected president. WHY? And now they have to hide this guy's whereabouts from Trump too, because Trump would be willing to blab the information to Putin just to please him. Then Putin could perform one of his unethical political assassinations on OUR own soil.

Re: So It starts
It's only a bad thing if the Dems seek Russian assistance in winning elections. In fact, the formerly all-things-having-to-do-with-Russia-is-bad Republicans are now embracing Russian assistance like a solid gold toilet. I guess if that's what they think it now takes to win elections, they've sunk pretty low into the political sewer. How about the party get a backbone, stand up, show some compassion, honesty, fortitude and return to your old roots? Maybe that would garner more votes and election wins for your party instead of kissing Russian ass to succeed. The way they are now, I wouldn't vote for a Republican if you paid me.
Remember woody, that Russian spy extracted in 2017 was the very source who gave our intelligence agencies proof that Putin ordered the interference in our 2016 election. The reason was to get their hand picked lackey, Trump, elected in 2016. So it would have been a travesty of justice if our government agencies DIDN'T investigate what was going on with the election in 2016. On a side note, after further reading, it also seems CNN exaggerated their claims that Trump's sloppy handling of secret intelligence was the reason they pulled the spy out. So even though this spy was exfiltrated to the U.S., it seems it was for some other concerns that our intelligence agencies had about the situation. Brennen didn't even tell Obama about this source when they tried to exfiltrate him in 2016 because the information he supplied was so delicate. Whether or not Trump's sloppy handling of secret intelligence affected the decision to pull this guy out of Russia still doesn't negate the fact that this spy confirmed that Putin ordered his agencies to interfere with our election in 2016. THAT PART IS FACT. Live with it woody. Putin wanted Trump elected in 2016 and he pulled out all the stops to make it happen. So ask yourself this one question. Why?

I'll gladly back a voting ID if:
- The government covers the entire cost of issuing it and ensures the disadvantaged can get one.
- Everyone is automatically and permanently registered to vote upon:
- Reaching the legal voting age
- Becoming a citizen
- Voting rights are not stripped for felony violation or any reason whatsoever
- Election day becomes a national holiday
- Gerrymandering is outlawed
- We implement complete and total campaign finance reform
Re: So It starts
You've misinterpreted me. I was saying you have to believe "the collusion investigation" was illegitimate. I absolutely think there's legitimate reason for the IG investigation, if only because we're talking about surveillance of a presidential campaign. The more oversight of the entire FISA process the better, and I've never stated otherwise. But it has to be done in good faith, and I have concerns that Bill Barr has shown himself to be a bad faith actor. You'll have to excuse me if I don't fall for the quick headlines when the IG report is made public. We'll need to see the fine print. Or as with Barr's disingenuous Mueller unveiling, simply the print.woodchip wrote:Why is it illegitimate? And the collusion investigation was not.
Let's talk about two years, shall we? Republicans held the House, Senate, and Presidency for two years. Complete control. Between them, they could investigate and declassify anything their little hearts desired. "Release the memo" they cried as if they were powerless to release Nunes' comically selective memo. Why didn't they capture this evil cabal instead of circulating disingenuous bullsh!t? Do you have a theory as to why the treasonous Susan "unmasking" Rice is still walking free? Why wasn't Hillary perp walked? I seem to remember "lock her up" being a thing.I suggest you wait until the investigations are completed before you look for proof. As to speculation, seems there was 2 years of it right here on this board about Trumps collusion.
Yes, it was complete speculation and hyperbole to say Trump was some sort of agent of Moscow. But it was not speculation to point out that the things he was doing certainly showed an alignment of goals. And if you go through any of my old posts, you'll likely find that I did have a healthy skepticism, and that my beliefs were and are consistent with known and likely facts. I'm always trying to decipher what objective reality is, and make the case for my beliefs while welcoming challenges to them. The Mueller Report showed plenty of "collusion" so do we still have to call it speculation? It also plainly detailed the obstruction that hampered the expanded knowledge of that "collusion." So I'll make you a deal, I'll acknowledge whatever is in the actual IG report, if you acknowledge what's in the actual Mueller Report.
You're god damn right I'm flustered. And it sucks because I know the overarching philosophy of your cult is to piss people like me off, and I hate to give you what you want. We have a comically corrupt President fronting for a Republican party whose governing goal seems to be preventing democratic change and the complete dismantling of functional government at a time when we need to be drastically changing our entire civilization to prevent collapse of the global ecosystem. And "my side" seems intent on slow walking the use of their newly won bit of power to prevent it all because they're afraid of pissing off some car dealership owner in the rust belt because they think he wants bipartisanship.And by your use of the word "★■◆●" repeatedly shows you are getting flustered.
I honestly think I'm holding it together pretty well.

Yep. There's plenty of actual proof that the Kremlin meddled in the 2016 election and that Putin himself wanted his hand-picked lackey, Donald J. Trump, elected our president. So I guess those piddling details don't bother woodchip.

Re: So It starts
Personally, I thought the "Trump is a Manchurian Candidate" take was always somewhat ridiculous, but it really can't be denied at this point that Trump did have secret financial motivations to be sweet towards Russia throughout the election, and that Trump lied about it all throughout the election, providing Russia even more leverage over Trump. And all of that isn't even really connected to the hacking/bot farm crap, except as part of an overall strategy.

Re: So It starts
I think he kisses Putin's ass because he wants to be Putin. Money was the gravity that brought Trump into Putin's orbit, but I think once he was elected it changed. I think Trump fantasizes about standing shoulder to shoulder with him on a stage radiating power and demanding respect. (the reality in Helsinki, though, was him looking like a whipped dog)
He's always envied wealthy people that got the respect he never got. They have wealth and he has wealth, but they don't respect him because he's basically a huckster. He grudges against wealthy people that don't respect him, and absolutely loves those that throw him a bone.
In this same regard, I think his authoritarian governing tendencies spring from wanting to be able to demand the respect of those who wouldn't normally give it. He hates allied leaders that think he's ridiculous. They have power and he has power, but don't respect him. The autocrats, however, don't have to worry about things like elections, so they can throw him a bone. And he absolutely loves them for it.
Just a guess, though.
