    I don't as I remember it was a ducked up situation. Where the left ducked up and then said sorry.
    The deems don't get a break from me either but that was not the topic, now was it?
    I know way more than you do on all matters political. For sure, no doubt about it.

    Based on what your opinion. Quote the law that states she operated beyond her legal authority.

    I hate to break this to the Trump FanBoys - but neither Clinton or Obama is President and someday Trump is going to have to start accepting the responsibilities of his office and the criticism that come with it. You guys can roll out shinny Obama pennies for four years if you like, but it's just going to make your Trump look like a whiny Drama Queen.

    When criminal activity was undertaken by the previous administration, that's not shifting responsibilities. That's putting them on the criminals who hoped to avoid it during a hush-hush period with the last few days of office. Looks like the gloating on the media and the conspiracy bit them hard in the ass.

    I believe that has become the standard over the last 8 years, so spare me the BS golf clap, I'm not impressed.

    Classified? Why would they be classified if nothing sensitive occurred? And how can you know she did something wrong if you don't know what's in the calls?

    In two weeks, we will have moved on to the next crisis. After that comes the debt ceiling fight between the WH and the Freedom Caucus. Then comes the Budget fight and then we head into the 2018 campaign. I'd be surprised if the current issues are anything but a footnote.

    The standard has became guilty until proven innocent..
    Prove you are innocent beyond a reasonable doubt, not you have to be proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt..
    The last 8 years of the obama administration you say?

    Um, yeah, something like that.
    I don't know why or how but that seems to be the new norm, but they did not holler lock Oly North up did they
    Do you even remember who Casper Wienburger was, they didn't holler lock him up, did they?
    But they did holler lock her up, didn't they. Do you have any idea the significance of what I'm saying?
    Probably not.
    But nice golf .

    The standard has become: If you break the law and are a liberal, no problem. No news here, nothing to see.....

    If it weren't for a double standard, the left would have no standards whatsoever.

    Unmasking the identity of an American without cause, and then leaking that information unlawfully. The leaker has yet to come forth, but whether it's Susan Rice or whoever, I promise them this: They will face criminal charges. There won't be a Snowden 2.0 in this country.

    Wasn't it Mike Flynn(and reportedly, more than just him.) If that report is true, it obviously isn't within the clause of "Needing to understand the context." And even then, the only ones who need the context are those CLEARED to see the information. Is the NYT cleared? Last I checked: No.

    So it's a violation(and arguably, filtering it to other intelligence agencies is another violation, but let's just stick to one corrupt move at a time.). Someone violated protocol, and that can't be accepted. Like Trump said, the more time we put on a conspiracy theory is the more time the culprit leakers to either get away or establish an alibi.

    There was plenty of reason to unmask Flynn, including the reason they told Trump about it. And we don't know who leaked it, Flynns name didn't come out until after Trumps team was told...

    The only people who should have known about/had knowledge of the intercepts was the NSA. That information getting to the NYT is inexplicable, unacceptable. The possibility of abuse on US Citizens was also a big thing, that's what the uproar was about in 2013 with regards to spying on citizens.

    There's no excuse for illegal acts, even if the illegality revealed another act of illegality. The closest, is that I'd be willing to give Snowden a pardon if he willingly came to the US.
