    What about the memos make you think that?

    Their existence.

    Also his move from an appointed position in the DOJ to an unappointed position in the FBI.

    I don't see his move from DOJ to FBI as having anything to do with being Trump's guy or not. Boente is a career prosecutor so it's natural he'd take over the position of FBI general counsel after James Baker was reassigned because of the OIG investigation.

    What about the memos existence leads you to believe he isn't Trump's guy?

    Was it natural for him to be asked to resign from his appointed positions after Manafort's indictment?

    Yes or no.

    What about the memos existence leads you to believe he isn't Trump's guy?
    They corroborate Comey's testimony and there is no reason to believe there aren't additional memos.

    Why would Boente's volunteering to corroborate Comey's memos prove he's Trump's guy?

    Your attempt to conflate the two issues is a failure. Boente already had plans to resign and move elsewhere in law enforcement before Manafort’s indictment was issued.

    Boente’s memos also corroborate Trump saying Comey told him he wasn’t under investigation. I don’t see the memos proving Boente being or not being Trump’s guy.

    So he resigned to make way for the guy who actually was Trump's guy. Trump didn't appoint Boente to any other job. My conclusion -- not Trump's guy.


    Boente’s memos also corroborate Trump saying Comey told him he wasn’t under investigation. I don’t see the memos proving Boente being or not being Trump’s guy.
    technically Trump still isn't a target.

    So why are you making such a big deal out of the Mueller investigation and ready to cheer Nunes' impeachment bluff?

    Trump didn't stop him from becoming FBI general counsel either.

    I haven't made a single comment on Nunes' impeachment bluff, but continue on with your wishcasting if it makes you feel better.

    You respond to a post calling you out on being an echo chamber, characterized by irrational dismissal of sources outside the echo chamber, by derisively dismissing sources outside your preferred belief system.

    Thanks for proving my point about your echo chamber.

    I can't stop laughing at you calling out others as being in an echo chamber when you are firmly planted in your own. I'm sorry but you'll have to start providing sources from outside your Wonkette echo chamber before I can take you seriously.

    OK, here's your chance.

    What do you think about Nunes' talk of impeaching Rosenstein and Wray?

    I don't think much of it at all, that is why I hadn't made a single comment on it.

    Why do you wishcast so often?

    Raid on Trump’s Lawyer Sought Records on ‘Access Hollywood’ Tape

    The F.B.I. agents who raided the office and hotel of President Trump’s lawyer on Monday were seeking all records related to the “Access Hollywood” tape in which Mr. Trump was heard making vulgar comments about women, according to three people who have been briefed on the contents of a federal search warrant.

    The primary aspect of being in an echo chamber is not knowing you are in one, and distrusting/dismissing everything outside that sphere as a knee-jerk reaction.

    You did it AGAIN here even after I pointed out that particular feature of what an echo chamber cult is.

    The materials relating to that would definitely show whether the Trump camp was notified in advance about it.

    I'm sure it was related to Hillary tho somehow.

    Indeed. What other aspects to an echo chamber do I exhibit, specifically, from the article?
