Reality is that isn't what it was about. Between their moles and their wire surveillance they know there was no collusion. Its why Rosenstein wrote it to let it go wherever they want. Like the old KGB saying, "show me the man and I'll show you a crime." If not a crime itself they have ways of making you tell one slight thing wrong to the investigator and bam they got you. In the end I don't think the goal may have been to impeach Trump but to let him know who controls what. A shot across his bow so to speak. Dangerous times when the DOJ and more so the IC considers itself the 4th and even 5th branches of govt. HARVEY SILVERGLATE: An average, busy professional gets up in the morning, gets the kids to school, goes to work, uses the telephone or e-mail, has meetings, works on a prospectus or bank loan, goes home, puts the kids to bed, has dinner, reads the newspaper, goes to sleep, and has no idea that, in the course of that day, he or she has very likely committed three felonies. Three felonies that some ambitious, creative prosecutor can pick out from that day’s activities and put into an indictment. In his foreword to my book, Alan Dershowitz discusses his time litigating cases in the old Soviet Union. He was always taken by the fact that they could prosecute anybody they wanted because some of the statutes were so vague. Dershowitz points out that this was a technique developed by Beria, the infamous sidekick of Stalin, who said, “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.” That really is something that has survived the Soviet Union and has arrived in the good old USA. “Show me the man,” says any federal prosecutor, “and I can show you the crime.” This is not an exaggeration. https://www.cato.org/policy-report/januaryfebruary-2010/criminalization-almost-everything Edited November 9, 2018 by Highmark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Dems are going to be prosecuting obstruction charges from the House floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoslinger Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 i must say i'm somewhat surprised at the naivety of many of you. what trump is doing is, and has been, plain as day. it can't be all hackery, based on some of your arguments. you really are naive and uninformed. i suspect many of you only get your "news" in forums and facebook. alot of it likely from russian trolls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could have more GOP been running than what were except in CA with their goofy rules? There were replacement GOP candidates for the retiring seats. Your statement makes zero sense. https://www.opensecrets.org/overview/reelect.php Incumbents generally win at a rate of over 90%.

Chief of staff is a good as any place to start. You are a partisan hack in everything you do just like those on the right you bitch about. Agreed, Chief of staff is the right person for that interim job. His political leanings or opinions are irrelevant as to if he should take the job. They are, however, relevant to if he should recuse himself from Russia. I think he should. Slinger is right on that. This whole idea of constitutionality is foolish IMO, or if he is capable of the job itself. 1 hour ago, Snoslinger said: wtf dude? here i've been thinking you had alot of clues. now not so much. he could have picked many others, including the deputy rosenstein, where it would normally go to. but no, he picks a mole, a loyalist, and someone biased against the investigation? and you can't see this? wow. you are going to sink with all these other morons, dude. you have 0 business calling me a hack. He absolutely picked some friendly to his cause. The problem is he picked someone qualified for an interim role. The other problem is simple: It is Trump’s prerogative to do so. Nothing says he has to appoint a Boy Scout. Nothing says he has to pick someon unbiased. Nothing says he has to pick someone the Dems like. You are mad because it’s a smart move. Again, I agree that the guy should recuse himself, but there is no legal warranting for him to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
