Snake Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 With the conclusions of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe now known to a significant degree, it seems apologies are in order. However, judging by the recent past, apologies are not likely forthcoming from the responsible parties. In this context, it matters not whether one is a supporter or a critic of President Trump. Whatever his supposed flaws, the rampant accusations and speculation that shrouded Trump’s presidency, even before it began, ultimately have proven unfounded. Just as Trump said all along. Yet, each time Trump said so, some of us in the media lampooned him. We treated any words he spoke in his own defense as if they were automatically to be disbelieved because he had uttered them. Some even declared his words to be “lies,” although they had no evidence to back up their claims. We in the media allowed unproven charges and false accusations to dominate the news landscape for more than two years, in a way that was wildly unbalanced and disproportionate to the evidence. We did a poor job of tracking down leaks of false information. We failed to reasonably weigh the motives of anonymous sources and those claiming to have secret, special evidence of Trump’s “treason.” As such, we reported a tremendous amount of false information, always to Trump’s detriment. And when we corrected our mistakes, we often doubled down more than we apologized. We may have been technically wrong on that tiny point, we would acknowledge. But, in the same breath, we would insist that Trump was so obviously guilty of being Russian President Vladimir Putin’s puppet that the technical details hardly mattered. So, a round of apologies seem in order. Apologies to Trump on behalf of those in the U.S. intelligence community, including the Department of Justice and the FBI, which allowed the weaponization of sensitive, intrusive intelligence tools against innocent citizens such as Carter Page, an adviser to Trump’s presidential campaign. Apologies also to Page himself, to Jerome Corsi, Donald Trump Jr., and other citizens whose rights were violated or who were unfairly caught up in surveillance or the heated pursuit of charges based on little more than false, unproven opposition research paid for by Democrats and the Hillary Clinton campaign. Apologies for the stress on their jobs and to their families, the damage to their reputations, the money they had to spend to hire legal representation and defend themselves from charges for crimes they did not commit. Apologies on behalf of those in the intelligence community who leaked true information out of context to make Trump look guilty, and who sometimes leaked false information to try to implicate or frame him. Apologies from those in the chain of command at the FBI and the Department of Justice who were supposed to make sure all information presented to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) is verified but did not do so. Apologies from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court judges who are supposed to serve as one of the few checks and balances to prevent the FBI from wiretapping innocent Americans. Whether because of blind trust in the FBI or out of ignorance or even malfeasance, they failed at this important job. Apologies to the American people who did not receive the full attention of their government while political points were being scored; who were not told about some important world events because they were crowded out of the news by the persistent insistence that Trump was working for Russia. Apologies all the way around. And now, with those apologies handled — are more than apologies due? Should we try to learn more about those supposed Russian sources who provided false “intel” contained in the “dossier” against Trump, Page and others? Should we learn how these sources came to the attention of ex-British spy Christopher Steele, who built the dossier and claimed that some of the sources were close to Putin? When and where did Steele meet with these high-level Russian sources who provided the apparently false information? Are these the people who actually took proven, concrete steps to interfere in the 2016 election and sabotage Trump’s presidency, beginning in its earliest days? Just who conspired to put the “dossier” into the hands of the FBI? Who, within our intel community, dropped the ball on verifying the information and, instead, leaked it to the press and presented it to the FISC as if legitimate? “Sorry” hardly seems to be enough. Will anyone be held accountable? https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/435552-apologies-to-president-trump 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKIQPilot Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 @Snoslinger should read that and take a little heed. He should appologize to everyone on this forum for having to listen to all his fabricated bullshit lies for the last 2 years. The fucking puke has zero, absolutely zero, credibility. And he was warned a hundred times or more that Mueller wasnt going to come up with the goods on Trump. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtralettucetomatoe580 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 You guys are loving this. Maybe more than the election victory itself lol. Gotta admit, watching the media waffle and struggle to make a coherent sentence today has been hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thru the years shit is one thing; typical bravado we all use when our convictions are questioned. It is the zero amount of self awareness he has exhibited this weekend that has me questioning his investment in this whole affair. I haven't seen someone try to twist reality in the face of proof since I tried to pass off my new 92 5.0 to my wife as my old 4 cylinder LX Mustang. Just got that credibility back last month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted this already but on Saturday, one of the retards on CNN seriously said, “95% of the evidence points to collusion but, Mueller just couldn’t find the 5% that was needed to indict.” No kidding....I shook my head....then laughed.
