Hey, I have something you can re-up! Hey did you ever reply to my question to you? What the hell has Trump been found guilty of? Go head big boy! Isnt that the center of the lies and abuse the year and a half to 2 years? All of the fake news BS! Where is the nonexistent collusion? Do we have to go through all of the collusion in the Hillary exoneration and the “Trumped Up” charges against Trump?! We already know the entire upper management of the FBI has been fired for abusing power if not out and out crimes! How do you deny or explain that? You also know the FISA warrant was issued overwhelmingly due to the fake ass dossier! So you might want to call your self out! Why is Rosenstein being impeached as we speak?! Because he is doing an honest job? Oh spare me please!
I have already answered it! If half of the freaking FBI leadership has been fired over this biased instigation, how in the hell to you say the FISA warrant was not ill gotten? So if the whole bullshit investigation is over collusion, I am telling you to man up for a change and tell us what Trump did in terms of collusion? Any stinking evidence! You’ve have 1 1/2 years of the FBI, Justice Department, the Press, the DNC and even rhino republicans that hate him, so give at least a little kernel of something for God’s safe or shut the heck up! Now try real hard to tell me and the rest of us in the blogsphere here what mean ole Trump did that colluded with Russia? Come on little buddy, you can do it can’t you?
Comey got fired because he wasn’t sufficiently loyal to Trump, and Trump has admitted this, and he didn’t really need a reason to fire him anyway, so to say his getting fired taints the ‘instigation’ is without merit.
.
There is zero evidence Strozk was less than professional in his work. All there is against him is some private text messages. He was fired because of the appearance of impartiality, not the actual thing.If he hadn’t been fired there would be criticism, so he was fired, and yet there is still criticism… by those grasping at straws.
.
Anyone else in particular you have in mind?
.
Whether Trump had anything to do with collusion or not, IS. NOT. THE . POINT. How many times do you have to be told this? Russians interfered with the election. That is being investigated. Period.
The circumstances surrounding Comey’s being fired are circumstantial evidence of collusion.
The whole investigation is about cullusion by Trump and his campaign!!!! Or obstruction, depending on y’alls manic desire to find anything!!
Yeah! It’s all a witch-hunt by “gobblers” to look for is’s to micro-examine! Or, maybe, it’s “to ensure a full and thorough investigation of the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election” like the document appointing the special counsel spells out.

What is this “half of FBI senior leadership” who you say was fired?
McCabe wasn’t fired over the “instigation”. Comey was fired by Trump for reasons that changed based on what day it was and what was showing on “Fox and Friends”.
Did you eat leaded paint as a child?
So, Cohen says Trump knew about the Russia meeting before it happened. That would be COLLUSION. Its also going to be a big problem for #TeamTrump.
2 years? Pffffft.

End of seventh investigation 28 June 2016

There’s two more years and six more investigations left on the clock.

And the clock on what is to be done when the investigation is completed and findings released hasn’t even started.
Hey, he wants to cut social security, Medicare, and Medicaid. But there’s tax cuts for the rich and increased military spending to deal with too.

Headline – The Republican Congress Isn’t Even Pretending to Do Its Job: It’s much easier to let judges and appointees do the unpopular work of stripping workers of their rights, outlawing abortion, and running the administrative state into the ground.

“It is almost inconceivable that in the seven-plus years since the ACA was passed, nobody in the universe of American conservatism—the GOP, interest groups, allied think tanks, the right-wing media—thought to write an actual ACA alternative bill a future GOP president could sign into law. Other than the vague but loudly repeated assertion that the ACA needed to be repealed, they had nothing.”

And they still don’t have anything. Here’s the second one:

Headline – How Trump is changing Republican Party values
.
http://theweek.com/articles/785361/how-trump-changing-republican-party-values
Haha, go away DTM. You are such a tool.
My congressman Jody Hice is a co-sponsor of the Meadows-Jordan resolution to impeach Rosenstein.
Hice et al want a second special counsel. They want a dump of all documents and communications with FISC relating to Carter Page or any other person associated with Trump campaign or administration. They don’t like redactions. They think Mueller’s investigation is too broad. They claim the FBI never noted that the Steele memo resulted from political opposition research.
The resolution accuses others of dishonesty in failing to disclose information. In fact, the resolution itself is dishonest in failing to disclose what has been disclosed to them. It’s the same approach used in the Nunes memo of earlier this year. I’m surprised Nunes himself isn’t a co-sponsor.
The resolution: https://meadows.house.gov/uploadedfiles/7.25.2018_articles.pdf
Jody Hice is your congressman? All I can say is I’m sorry.
Maybe Clay Tippins has some tapes on the preacher.
I have never seen a bigger bunch of gobblers in my life! I ask one little question about all of the blowhards telling us how terrible Trump is and how much collusion was involved in the election… And not one of you can name a single thing. If I were you guys I’d be embarrassed! How do you get called out and have nothing to reply? Literally nothing! Now I’m sure you can come up with something… So why don’t y’all get together and collude and see if one of you can come up with something that Trump did! Please enlighten us.
You think holding your breath till you turn blue might help!? You are such a child. You get schooled and pummeled every day by every conservative on here. You’re going to hold on to some definition you hope to get in the hopes you can micro-examine what you might consider to be a mistake. You’re like Clinton and the meaning of “is” is. A true troll.
It would make just as much sense to say that the cops should stop investigating Kasim Reed’s expenses since they haven’t charged him with anything yet.
Also, it’s not like the investigation has produced nothing. Go ask Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort. Cohen also seems to be in a world of hurt.
I don’t get all the ranting and raving about Mueller. If Trump has nothing to hide, then why not let this play out?
Investigation.
It’s a real word that you can look up.
The results will be revealed in time.
They may even disclose the entirety of evidence for the FISA warrant.
In 2019, maybe early 2020.
Until then, it’s never a good idea to put all your eggs into one basket.
Uh dude, I answered your questions twice. You might not like the answer but I made the effort. You on the other hand… Most of us are intelligent enough to see that you have offered nothing! So are you going honor us with something Trump did that was related to “collusion” in the last election or not! It is .not a hard question…or you going to continue to sound like an obtuse sniveling snowflake that just runs his mouth? You have been railing about Trump since the first day I happened on this blog…is it asking too much to back up your sniveling and accusations with at least something ! If someone else would like to provide some kind of evidence of Russian collusion with trump it would nice to see. That goes for mueller and Rosenstein too!
Mueller will provide whatever he finds- whether it’s evidence or lack of it.
Whenever he wants.
The attorney in you is showing. That’s a good thing.
Michael Cohen confirms Trump knew about the Russia meeting ahead of time to get dirt on HRC…there’s your collusion, boy.
Just dropped tonight
Yes, collusion dropped last night.
I got in a discussion on facebook with some supporters of Stacey Abrams. There is a possibility that they will disrupt appearances by Brian Kemp. https://chamblee54.wordpress.com/2018/07/26/politically-relevant/
Actually, I’d be surprised if they didn’t!! RESIST!!!! They got nothing else…
They better be careful because Kemp has already demonstrated his wrecklessness. If he would point a shotgun at Jake can you imagine what he might do to an Abrams supporter?
And Trump will pay for a lawyer for anyone who beats up a protester at a Kemp rally, just like he did when he ran.
He didn’t point the shotgun at Jake. It was pointed off to Jake’s left. But don’t let that disrupt The Narrative. If this is what Stacey is also gonna be saying, she’s in for a 10 point defeat.
Your comment might make sense if I accused him of aiming a shotgun but I didn’t and your retort misses the mark by a long shot if you get my drift.
55-45!!! LMAO!!!
Good to see you have asense of humor.
Kemp better be careful because if Abrams notices his shotgun she will probably attempt to confiscate and outlaw it.
If he’s pointing it at teenage boys shouldn’t it be taken away? He obviously deranged. I mean if he wanted to get rid of the boy why didn’t he pull down his pants and rub his naked behind against him?
How do you know that he didn’t?
You are so right. I only hope Borat or Micheal Cohen can get these out takes. He needs to be caught with a live boy or a dead girl for the MAGA cult to abandon him. On second thought, that won’t sway any votes in the base.
What, as a private citizen?
I’m hoping you told them that is a very bad idea because its disrespectful.
There have been two more comments on facebook.
Did you just call us pigs in your horribly designed blog
Kemp is a s***headed r****t who engages in overt voter suppression I really don’t think you get to tell people how to treat him
It some point, but not this election, old white guys aren’t going to matter. A disadvantage of this Dem version of the Tea Party is that Dems won’t be able to govern either in that environment.
How long does an IRS audit take?
https://www.cnn.com/2016/05/11/politics/donald-trump-tax-returns/index.html
May 2016:
“CNN)Donald Trump said Wednesday that he plans to release his taxes when an IRS audit is completed, despite telling the Associated Press the previous day that he would not release his tax documents.
“In interview I told @AP that my taxes are under routine audit and I would release my tax returns when audit is complete, not after election!” the real estate mogul tweeted Wednesday, after Trump’s critics, including Mitt Romney and other Republicans, who have urged Trump to make his tax returns available.
In interview I told @AP that my taxes are under routine audit and I would release my tax returns when audit is complete, not after election!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 11, 2016
Trump’s resistance to releasing his tax documents leaves major questions for voters weighing a candidate whose campaign is staked on his business acumen and the fact that he is “very, very rich” — and would mark a major break with decades of precedent set by the nominees of the two major political parties.”

Noway, DTM, and ACP, I want to change the subject a little to see if you can find some common ground.
Can you all agree that the general role of government is to promote the welfare of the society as a whole by protecting people from threats both foreign and domestic?
If TGM said it, then yesss!!!! LOL!!
You’ve been powned!!11!

Why not? The GOP is still operating under rules set by a convicted pedophile.
It’s called the “hastert” rule.
The unanswered questions are piling up.
No response to refuting of the ‘Obama did nothing’ comment either.
So I think the way this works is, if you can’t defend your position in a reasonable amount of time, you lose.
So at this point, the ‘witch hunt’ freakout and the ‘Obama did nothing’ fantasy are settled law, if you will. Continuing to bring these memes to the conversation without some evidence would just make one look silly, and yes, stupid.
We can move on to other issues.
News tonight is that Trump approved the meeting with the Russians where Don Jr. et al were conspiring against America with the Russians. Sounds like criminal conspiracy.
COLLUSION!!!
lol
Too bad he will only be able to run for Minority Leader.
