    The article seems to imply that the FBI should have halted altogether on investigating Russian interference when it lead to people within the Trump campaign. Like they crossed a line somehow by following the trail into a Presidential Campaign. One would think most people would expect even more aggressive investigation once it reaches that threshold, but partisanship is a powerful thing.

    Also that is the most butthurt snark I've ever seen in a National Review column. I can see why Darrin likes it.

    Dude is so mad that GOP leaders said his past year's work is bull . I'm surprised he didn't call them reptilians.

    And I guess TSA doesn't remember that Lester Holt interview where Trump mentions Russa thing as why he fired Comey
    I remember it, you obviously don't. Here's the transcript.

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi...ster_holt.html

    Point me to where Trump mentions the Russia investigation as the reason he fired Comey.

    TRUMP: Oh, I was going to fire regardless of recommendation.

    HOLT: So, there was...

    (CROSSTALK)

    TRUMP: They -- he made a recommendation. He's highly respected. Very good guy, very smart guy.

    And the Democrats like him. The Republicans like him.

    He had made a recommendation. But regardless of recommendation, I was going to fire Comey knowing there was no good time to do it

    And in fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself -- I said, you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story. It's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should've won.

    Trash signalling that all of Mueller's convicted can expect pardons

    Trump announces that he will give a full pardon to propagandist and felon Dinesh D’Souza




    D’Souza pleaded guilty to multiple violations of campaign law in in 2014 after conducting a transparent scheme to funnel money to the campaign of Republican Senate candidate Wendy Long.

    Long drew D’Souza’s love through her shared
    Islamophobia.

    Using a series of straw donors, D’Souza handed money to one conservative pal after another, so they could pass it along to Long.

    The action was so blatant that even Wendy Long became concerned.

    And D’Souza went so far as lying to both the FBI and the candidate about the money he was pouring into her accounts.


    Dinesh D’Souza is best known for his vile right-wing propaganda films and his even more vile political statements.

    D’Souza has blamed progressives
    for causing 9/11,

    blamed feminism for violence against women,

    argued that the founders actually meant for America to be a Christian theocracy, and

    wrote an entire book about how the Democratic Party came from Nazis.

    iow, D'Souza is Trash's preferred kind of lying bag

    LOL, ignoring the entirety of a post for ONE time. You're incredibly stupid but, to your credit, I think you're aware of it. I'm unsure if that's a good thing or not. Regardless, you're a twit comparable to the other twits on the other side of the fence.

    Why have the former guardians of civil liberties flipped in the near half-century since Watergate?

    One, both the media and the liberal establishment believed that the outsider Trump represented an existential danger to themselves and the nation at large—similar to the way operatives in the Nixon Administration had felt about far-left presidential challenger George McGovern in 1972.

    But this time around, liberals were not out of power as they were in 1972. Instead, they were the establishment. They held the reins of federal power under the Obama Administration. And they chose to exercise it in a fashion similar to how Nixon’s team had in 1972.

    Second, pollsters and the media were convinced that Hillary Clinton would be elected. As a result, members of the FBI, CIA, and other federal bureaucracies apparently assumed that any extralegal efforts to stop the common menace Trump would be appreciated rather than punished by a soon-to-be President Clinton.

    Three, those in the Obama Administration, the Clinton campaign, and the media formed an echo chamber. All convinced themselves that any means necessary to achieve the noble ends of precluding a Trump presidency were justified.

    Yeah, you and Victor are pretty stupid.

    This isn't anything like Watergate.
