Quoted: Exactly. President Trump has been under illegal surveillance for years, and yet they couldn't find anything that could bring him down. Pencil neck schiff kept saying "I have seen evidence," during russiagate, but we now know he lied. We know his taxes are good because both the irs and ny state probably has a dedicated team just to go through his taxes every year trying to find that gotcha. The fact that the "investigators" had to lie, make up evidence, to keep an "investigation" going ought to tell you they are persecuting someone, rather than investigating a crime based on evidence of said crime.

Quoted: I have an open mind too but they won't let us see the unredacted affidavit so mind is closed. FBI and DOJ are lying thugs. View Quote Indeed, the last affidavit for the FISA warrants had fabricated evidence, resulting in a felony conviction for an FBI agent. And note, the now felon wasn't investigated by the FBI - they were all fine with the perjury and lies. It took an outside special council to prosecute that turd and obtain justice. What in the world would make anyone who had two brain cells think the FBI won't lie and commit perjury on this affidavit as well?

Quoted: And yet he barely won in 2016 and barely lost in 2020 because he lost moderates and swing voters. View Quote Trump lost moderates because they were weak and lacked core beliefs. They were pussies who did not like the way he fought back. They lost sight of the fact Trump had to fight the criminal lefts coup against him in the only way he knew how too. The criminal media wanted him destroyed and they were all to happy to lie and twist every almost every word the man said. Russian collusion, the BS racism they accused him of, the first impeachment was a joke on its face, and the second one was because they could and they did not ever care that it was even more baseless then the first. Those assholes have given us what we have today. Every good policy Trump put in place was steamed rolled in months by this dementia ridden lying criminal. By the time this POS Biden is done we will have 10 million more illegals inside the US that are never leaving. I listened to a dip shit guest on Fox the other day that was spewing about how the dems should secure the border in exchange for amnesty for the 11 million illegals in the US. What a fucking joke that this asshole has the balls to still use that number. Oh, and all of the illegal kids coming over will be the next DACA kids the dems will be crying over. |

Problem was they falsified documents, and lied on the FISA form to get the warrant, which is one why one of their agents in now a convicted felon. The KGBI is a thoroughly corrupt organization. It was founded by a homosexual transvestite, who used the immense power of the Bureau to spy on his political enemies, and make himself into an unaccountable, and un-fireable bureaucratic dictator for life.

View Quote It was still a turd organization that overlooked and committed as many crimes as they solved. They turned a blind eye towards the Mafia in the 50's, and had to be dragged kicking and screaming by RFK when he was Attorney General to investigate them. The Boston office was basically the wholly owed subsidiary of Whity Bulger - he had lots of agents on his payroll, and covering up his murders.

Quoted: I doubt any more or less than the evidence that was barred from being brought into the original impeachment hearings after the GOP changed rules and controlled the process of discovery submittal and who could be called onto the witness roster.

The good thing is at trial, one side cannot bar a witness from testifying. The Defense has every right to call a Prosecution's witness to the stand and cross examine them for truthfulness and fidelity.

That is, sadly, what this is all about. It is not about Trump, but rather what has been exposed because of him. That should be the focus, dealing with what no one truly thought was as bad and deep as it is. First step is the hardest, everyone needs to acknowledge the truth about this corruption on display. We are truly looking more and more like a banana republic. Folks from all parties need to step up and demand we fix it. 1. They increasingly started targeting right wing organizations instead of left wing organizations. The right was largely ok with the abuses for the first 70 years of the organizations existence because it served their interests. 2. The internet brought a combination of increased visibility and information into what organizations like the FBI and the National Security apparatus do, and it also brought on a wave of conspiracy theories and bad/malicious reporting about things that are designed to serve various nefarious purposes. The problem that presents itself now is that we have an organization that has a deep history of bad behavior and abusing people's rights that people are now aware of, but where criticism of that organization is increasingly difficult because of all of the noise and bullshit that is created by forces that exploit people's stupidity and lack of knowledge about the organization. This gives them cover when they are criticized because they can always point to the crazy shit and just play it off and lump the legitimate stuff in with the falsehoods. As long as people continue to cling to the insane part of the story and deviate from things that can be PROVEN, they will continue to be able to get away with what they are doing. Yeah.

I believe it is absolutely POSSIBLE that Trump may have (unintentionally) committed the type of "crime" with handling of classified material that ALL PRESIDENTS prior to him undoubtedly also committed unintentionally... and which no reasonable prosecutor would EVER pursue criminally. Heck, even when people like Sandy Berger and Hillary Clinton clearly and deliberately violated such laws, nobody was ever charged with a felony. That is the level of precedent. The fact that the FBI under a Democratic administration has suddenly decided to aggressively pursue something like that for a former Republican president and political rival stinks to high heaven and is extremely disturbing. The relevant question is not whether or not technically a crime might have been committed, but why suddenly all precedent and standards have been flushed down the toilet in order to use the might of the DOJ to aggressively go after a political rival of the sitting president. |

Quoted: I believe it is absolutely POSSIBLE that Trump may have (unintentionally) committed the type of "crime" with handling of classified material that ALL PRESIDENTS prior to him undoubtedly also committed unintentionally... and which no reasonable prosecutor would EVER pursue criminally. Heck, even when people like Sandy Berger and Hillary Clinton clearly and deliberately violated such laws, nobody was ever charged with a felony. That is the level of precedent. The fact that the FBI under a Democratic administration has suddenly decided to aggressively pursue something like that for a former Republican president and political rival stinks to high heaven and is extremely disturbing. The relevant question is not whether or not technically a crime might have been committed, but why suddenly all precedent and standards have been flushed down the toilet in order to use the might of the DOJ to aggressively go after a political rival of the sitting president. View Quote Yup. But I bet the pretext for the raid wasn't, we know Trump has X classified documents and we have to go get them. It's was something more shady and fabricated to justify a fishing expedition. |

Quoted: Quoted: So where's the lie? Trump sought a medical exemption from military service because of alleged "bone spurs." Meanwhile, absolutely f*cking insults a decorated P.O.W. for being shot down and holding fast in a Viet Cong prison camp enduring torture for a half-decade. But somehow his bone spurs don't present a problem for playing endless rounds of Golf - even doing back-to-back 18s on 8,000 yard courses. You probably think you're a patriot. You probably think you're holding the line on the Great Republic and Democracy by being a sycophant for his brand. Trust me, if those notions are true - you are surely neither. I know what true patriots look like. I know what an adult looks like too. /media/mediaFiles/sharedAlbum/image-77.jpg If we're still debating the Vietnam war - it was a crap war, planned by cowards and traitors who never wanted to win, and as a combat vet, I have no problems with anyone who did whatever it took to avoid serving in that waste of blood and treasure. McCain was a petty little piece of shit, who divorced his wife upon his return for a rich heiresses who could finance his political career. He lusted after being nominated for president, then threw the race so as not to fall into the bad graces of those who's opinion he truly craved - the media, and to hell with the GOP voters he lied to during the primaries. He was called a crazy little war criminal by the media during the race, yet came crawling back to them, licking their boots to get back in their favor, which he did via voting against the wishes of those who elected him. Yet Trump insults him one time and he's made an enemy out of him for life. He got brain cancer and was unable to fulfil his duties as Senator, yet refused to resign, wanting to die in office for more attention and media hype. His last act before he shit the bed was to dis-invite Sara Palin to his funeral - a person who had always stood by him and never had a bad thing to say about him - so that they media would love him even more. John McCain was a terrible Naval pilot who gravy trained his way in the Navy via his family of Admirals, crashed a plane and killed sailors on the ship, stabbed everyone who voted for him in the back, and was a general piece of shit. I'd take Trump over that turd any day of the week. |

Quoted: And nobody but the FBI, the DOJ and (likely) Trump and his lawyers know why, and nobody is releasing any relevant information yet. Everyone in this thread is guessing, mostly based on what they want to be true rather than what they know to be true. In the meantime, Trump is in full-bore, we'll-funded spin mode setting the narrative the way that he wants it to go. View Quote Rubbish, the KGBI leaks to their house pets in the media about this on a daily basis. The first leaks were about Nuclear Secrets!!!, then that got toned down to "classified documents", then it's documents that some bureaucrat n the National Archives wanted, and didn't get - a situation that they would never get a raid going for any Democrat president. |
