    Bull . Trump is blowing millions of our tax dollars like sending over 5K troops to the border for political reasons. He's also illegally lining his pockets at taxpayer expense.

    I'm of the belief that the entire GOP is compromised. That's why they ain't doing to check the Orange menace. They're complicit.

    Until this changes, I'll never vote GOP.
    If he sent 5K troops to Iraq, would that be better? Do you think it costs more to deploy to Texas or to deploy to Iraq?

    How much of your angst is about the illegal immigrants?

    Yes. There are people legally tryna seek asylum. Trump racist ass don't want that. Why? Because he knows anywhere between 2040 and 2050, whiteys like him won't be in the majority. #MAGA

    Do you think it costs more to deploy to Texas or to deploy to Iraq?
    Iraq costs more, obviously. Both were wrong. I especially hate the deployment of our troops to our southern border because of racism.

    How much of your angst is about the illegal immigrants?
    America was stolen from Indians by immigrants. Technically we're all illegals.

    Still reading the Comey transcript;

    Gowdy - only asking about HRC's emails.

    Dem (Cohen/Tennessee) asked Comey if he thought Strock was biased, Comey answered;

    "Strock was the one who helped me write the Oct 28 letter to Congress that Hillary blames for her defeat - so if Strock was on team Clinton = that letter he assisted in didn't help her"

    I am reading the Comey transcript right now.

    No one is holding my hand. I am forming my own opinion of that hearing.

    Are you capable of just reading it yourself - or do you need Trump cult people to spoon-feed you some talking points?

    Still reading it.

    So far - what jumps out is that Gowdy has no interest in any truth whatsoever. His main interest is how can I find something to implicate someone ELSE - other than Trump or his campaign.

    Gowdy asks Comey if the FBI paid Steele. Comey says no - but that some of his expenses were taken care of. Sounds like a reasonable thing.
    Except Gowdy goes on and in his next questions he tries to assert that Comey agreed that the fbi paid Steele.
    Comey has to backtrack and say - I did not say he was paid - i said his expenses were taken care of.

    You posted a misleading tweet that also spins that fact and instead says "the fbi picked up the tab"

    then your butt-buddy chimes in right after and makes another false leap and so it goes...


    I have followed since day one and it is all in the public domain: The FBI has basically been doing its job the way they were supposed to.

    GOP has been outraged on one hand at "fisa abuse" "fbi funded dossier"

    while on the other hand -

    they defend real crimes (from Trump team) as

    "process crimes" "lying isnt a crime" "nothing-burger"

    So that is my take so far...

    Trump campaign illegally coordinated with the NRA during the 2016 election

    Shortly after the 2016 election, it was revealed that the

    National Rifle Association spent an unprecedented $30 million to help elect Donald Trump,


    triple what they spent to back Mitt Romney during the 2012 election. Further reports revealed that the

    NRA had essentially been infiltrated by Russian operatives, including Maria Butina, the Russian woman now sitting in a U.S. federal prison and reportedly cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller.

    Outside of boondoggles to Moscow,

    the Russians may have also been pouring money into the NRA

    in order to influence American conservatives, and specifically the Donald Trump campaign.

    During the heat of the 2016 campaign,
    Donald Trump Jr. met with Torshin at a private dinner hosted by, who else? The NRA.

    Special counsel Robert Mueller is reportedly investigating the financial ties between the NRA and the Russians.

    It is illegal to use foreign money in American political campaigns.

    The NRA used a firm called Red Eagle Media to place ad buys in key states⏤ads that Mother Jones describes as “anti-Hillary” and “pro-Trump.”

    Meanwhile, the Trump campaign placed a nearly identical ad buy through a firm called American Media & Advocacy Group (AMAG). And here’s the kicker:

    The two purchases may have looked coincidental; Red Eagle and AMAG appear at first glance to be separate firms.

    But each is closely connected to a major conservative media-consulting firm called National Media Research, Planning and Placement.

    In fact, the three outfits are so intertwined that both the

    NRA’s and the Trump campaign’s ad buys were authorized by the same person:

    National Media’s chief financial officer, Jon Ferrell.

    “This is very strong evidence, if not proof, of illegal coordination,”

    “This is the heat of the general election, and the same person is acting as an agent for the NRA and the Trump campaign.”

    The two organizations were using the same exact people to place ad buys in the same markets, the same budgets, the same programming.

    The two organizations were violating campaign finance laws that forbid this type of coordination. The Trace spells it out:

    The NRA was free to spend as much money as it wanted on behalf of Trump in 2016.

    But under federal election law, if an independent group and a campaign
    share election-related information, then the group’s expenditures no longer qualify as independent and are instead treated as in-kind donations, subject to a $5,000 cap.


    When an outside group and a candidate use the same vendor, staffers working for either client are prevented by law from sharing information with each other. Typically, such vendors make staffers sign a company “firewall” policy, which functions as a pledge not to coordinate and an acknowledgment that there are civil and criminal penalties for doing so. Under the law, National Media staffers working for Trump should have been separated from those working for the NRA. Do ents suggest, instead, a synchronized effort.
    Former FEC chair Ann Ravel said the campaign violations are “blatant.

    “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a situation where illegal coordination seems more obvious,”

    “It is so blatant that it doesn’t even seem sloppy. Everyone involved probably just thinks there aren’t going to be any consequences.”

    “The likelihood of the laws being enforced is slim,” Ann M. Ravel, the chairwoman, said in an interview. “I never want to give up, but I’m not under any illusions. People think the F.E.C. is dysfunctional. It’s worse than dysfunctional.”

    I'm seeing routine questions. The majority of which Comey refused to answer or "couldn't recall." Looks like Comey has no interest in the truth whatsoever.

    That is NOT what I am seeing.
    Comey has not evaded anything except questions regarding ongoing investigations.

    Everything else he as been very forthcoming and is bending over backwards to answer every question.

    How can you type that? Very untrue.
