CNN this morning (Saturday) was pushing the meme that if Trump even asked Comey how the Flynn investigation was progressing then that was obstruction of justice. Is this going to be the new meme the lamestreammedia pushes 24/7 for the next seven months? Insanity personified.
For Trump to directly ask is improper because of the appearance of official meddling. To avoid the possibility of it looking like obstruction of justice such inquiries are made through channels
CNN doesn't claim opinions. There are many anchors with ten times as many experts who comment. Some anchors express opinions and many don't. Who said this? It was someone on CNN, not CNN. And if he's a lawyer or legal expert on the matter, who are we gonna listen to, you? CNN isn't like Fox. Most people expressing opinions are expert panelists, not the anchors themselves.
It was their Sat morn host, *early* Sat morn. And the host agreed wholeheartedly. I think you are hearing what you want to hear from the CNN hosts, not what they are actually saying. When the host agrees with the opinion of a panel member, the opinion becomes the anchor's opinion also!
Oh absolutely, literally 5 minutes after the hearing was over on Friday the entire collusion argument was gone except for a small EXTREMELY partisan edge of the left. It immediately went over to obstruction which is so insanely frustrating as it is now even more blatantly obvious that the hearings had nothing to do with finding out if there is collusion but just to see what they could find against Trump. Flynn is a liar and deserves what he gets, but you can see why he wouldn't agree to an open hearing without restrictions of some kind. People are so ridiculous they would be looking at his record from 30 years ago to find an unpaid parking ticket.
So you don't even know her name. Okie dokie. You have no link. No video. No text. So your post is meaningless. I don't even believe you. A few anchors like Lemon, Cooper, and a few of the women, will inject their personal opinions. They got rid of the worst one... Carol Costello. But even they wouldn't pretend to be legal experts. So again, I don't believe you. The afternoon lineup is pretty good. Blitzer is good.
Since these inquiries weren't made through proper channels they DO have the appearance of obstruction of justice
You can believe what you want. But it is obvious that *YOU* didn't watch this either. So you are deciding on your opinion based on nothing but your opinion. I *did* watch. Even Blitzer's biases come through based on the questions he asks.
I'm quite sure you felt exactly the same way regarding Bill Clinton's tête-à-tête with Loretta Lynch on the airport tarmac. But they just talked about kids.
Seriously? There are rules on this forum about not putting other people down... But in this thread, your post is self inflicting.
Next week Dems will be saying they only believed it because the media was reporting it. This is like a repeat of the election. Loving it.
Based on some recent internal GOP polling, this Russian hoax narrative is really hurting the Democrats. What the Democrats are trying to hide must be beyond the pale to feel like they have to hold on to this BS. As Bannon recently said, Obama himself may even see some jail time.
CNN sees the Trump-Russia "scandal" slipping away, along with their ratings. They have to create drama to pump life into this dying story.
Comey works for trump He is not an independent operator with a license to do as he pleases So the obstruction of justice charge is nonsense
The problem is that it was a deflection, started by the Hillary campaign to deflect from the fact that she was a horrible choice. She still has plenty of power, and to come clean would be catastrophic for both her and dems. (lots of bernie supporters out there haven't forgotten either) In the mean time-it makes dems appear aloof and disconnected, and as liars once again. Same with the media. And Trump has been cleared of the accusations. It vindicates Trump, and most of the nation can see it. I hope they continue-because its bad for democrat party politics.
