    We are looking at the Clinton's being indicted in the state of Arkansas.

    I realize many Democrats kicked both under the bus when she lost to Trump. But did you think she and he would get indicted?

    Who is a republican actually wanting them jailed? I am not looking for them to go to jail. But it seems in Arkansas, some are looking for them to go to prison. Any comments?

    This is really about equal protection under the law. No one is above the law, especially corrupt bureaucrats protecting their favorite political party or candidate. That's 3rd world crap.

    I personally didn't have a grudge against Clinton, losing the 2016 election should have been enough punishment for any politician, but when the lying liberal media, corrupt bureaucrats, and fascist dems turned the tables and went after a sitting president, all bets are off.

    Let the democrats get a bad reputation as being corrupt and have that hanging over their heads for a generation or two.

    A right wing state is going to assist the GOP and the president in focus shifting the nation away from investigations into Trump and his cohorts by filing an indictment against politicians of yesteryear that they know has no substance.

    GOP, the party of hate, stunts and naming things.

    The Comey Memo did nothing to help the Trumper cause. In fact just the opposite.
    '
    Just like the DIrty Devon Nunes Memo

    Comey pretty well establishes that Trump didn't obstruct the investigation into his campaign. Without the element of obstruction, how and why is appointment of special counsel justified? With Sessions recused, the investigation would have been overseen by Rosenstein & McCabe had Comey followed the law and kept his mouth shut. "Andy", Strzok, and Page wouldn't have been exposed either. Mueller firing Strok, and Comey naming Baker, and McCabe as "witnesses" to his Trump memos set the congressional oversight / OIG investigations in motion. Comey's scheme backfired spectacularly.

    You mean against actual crimes instead of the ones made up by the vindictive TDS sufferers?

    Quote where he did any of that. It's your fantasy

    How would McCabe have been in charge of anything? He was second in command to Wray who was NOT recused.

    Do you know the difference between the FBI and the DOJ?

    Wray hadn't been appointed, because Comey hadn't been fired. Unlikely a Trump appointee would inherit an ongoing investigation of the POTUS who appointed him. Sessions was already recused, hence Rosenstein authorized Muellers appointment. So, Rosenstein DOJ & McCabe FBI. Comey's memos quote Trump as requesting his "satelites" be investigated. Hard to construe that as obstruction. Comey's leaks brought down the house of cards.

    That's nonsense. McCabe would have only been "in charge" of what the FBI did (not the DOJ) UNTIL Wray took office. Prior to Comey being fired...Comey was in charge of the FBI investigation.

    Be more specific about "satellites". That sounds like Trump wanted anyone involved in the investigation to be "investigated" in order to affect or damage them.

    What's REALLY hilarious is that Comey is being called a "leaker" for "leaking" these memos to a reporter...the same memos that the GOP Congress just......LEAKED

    The opposite it true. The POTUS fired the man leading the investigation in to his campaign. He told Russian diplomats who he invited to the Oval Office (at Putin's request) he fired Comey to "relieve great pressure from Russia, that's taken off." (then he gave those Russians classified info)
    [​IMG]



    He told Lester Holt he didn't fire Comey because of Rosenstein's recommendation, he fired him because of the "Russia thing."

    The obstruction of justice case only grows larger against POTUS.

    No argument JS ... statement of fact. Strzok, Page and "Andy" emails / meetings / 302 "revisions" were only discovered because Comey admitted to a few leaks, and congressional oversight committee / Sessions went after the other prime suspects. McCabe fired. James Baker demoted. Strzok & Page on the chopping block. Comey's ego ruined led them all to ruin.

    The biggest, most bogus stunt in American history is "Russia-Trump".

    It looks like the Strzok/Page memos (which actually amounted to very little) were the result of Trump going after the investigators...and had nothing to do with Comey or his memo.

    It's become pretty obvious that Russia-Trump CAMPAIGN is a fact.

    Trump's personal involvement in that enterprise is still an open question

    Wake up! The investigation had nothing to do with Trump. It's about Russian interference in our election process. Only Trump supporters go rip**** over the Trump thing. They're so bat**** crazy over it they are painting the whole FBI, DOJ, and anyone that uses the acronyms corrupt, liars.

    Did Wray immediately remove McCabe? Wray initially defended McCabe. If congress & the DOJ hadn't begun looking for those responsible for classified leaks, McCabe would have been in the clear. More specific? "Satelites" is a quote, and it seems to have very broad implications doesn't it? No restriction at all, in fact. Comey's scheme has backfired spectacularly.

    The campaign may or may not have been involved with Russia. We know Hillary's campaign was involved with Russia in producing the dreaded "dossier".
    Comey's notes say otherwise.

    Until he could no longer stand the pressure from Trump

    As far as "satellites".

    Simply post the relevant quote so we know wtf you are talking about
