Indictments coming...

[fskimospy]

Newsflash buddy, two thirds of the country are prejudiced against Trump.

Are you that guy who thought that a rapist being judged by "a jury of his peers" meant that the jury should be 12 other rapists??

What he’s saying is entirely predictable. As the investigation has gotten worse for Trump right wing media has spun up a narrative about how the investigation is biased against him. (As is everything that tells conservatives things they don’t like) And this is only the beginning. You will see more and more conspiracy theories and wild accusations come up as time goes on, which will then be followed by conservatives declaring that with ‘so many questions’ present about the investigation’s impartiality we can’t trust it and it should be disbanded.

Since conservatives largely only consume their own media, this bias will appear self evident and they will be baffled that anyone thinks otherwise. Well, baffled or they will chalk it up to everyone else being biased too.

It's from Axios, which has a pretty good rep (it's full of alumni from outlets with excellent track records) and appears to be confirmed anyway. The Trump transition team's counsel claims that the GSA officials who supplied the email allegedly violated the 4th Amendment, but I think that's more them grasping at straws than mounting an effective defense... sorry, those messages are part of the government record.

It's rather notable that Jared Kushner just recently went looking for a crisis management team. Clearly, he's expecting something bad to happen, and those emails may play a part.

It's really amusing to realize that there are people who feel that Trump's transition team's emails are "part of the government record" while Hillary's official correspondence as Secretary of State is not.

The transition team emails weren't obtained illegally you complete and utter fuckwit. Why is being so very stupid so very important to you?

Rosenstein also told the committee that no one, including President Trump, has asked him to fire Mueller.

Well no kidding, all he needs to do is let nature take it's course, by giving Mueller the rope he needs to hang himself. He is well on his way to doing that even now. If he proves to be prejudiced against Trump, or anyone else, he will be proven to be unfit for the job he took on.

I'm glad you think that this is what Mueller is doing. It keeps you stupid and passive. You're pretty much where you need to be, comrade.

There was a sitting president and actual administration during the time the clown posse was sitting down and trying to figure out how to secretly email the Russians, daily. I'm not sure that as members of a transition team--most of them temporary--have the same privileges as an actual administration with actual authority. This is why Trump and Flynn are already in trouble for undermining the real President during this time period, by making promises to the Russians (these are facts, by the way. This actually happened).

I could be wrong--this team could have the same protections afforded their communications as does a real, acting adminstration, but I don't think they do. Also, these guys were and remain fucking idiots. They didn't try very hard to hide their actions.

And who would those people be? Go ahead a post up.

It’s really amusing that you think literally a single person thinks that.

You’re always good for a look into what the Clinton Derangement Syndrome crowd is thinking, lol.

You should notice how he tried to weasel in the ‘official correspondence’ part for Clinton. The only emails not turned over were ones determined not to be official correspondence.

He’s doing the usual werepossum dance where he makes up a lie and then tries to act baffled as to why nobody else wants to believe it.

Anything Hillary put on govt servers is part of the record. The law didn't require her to do things that way at the time, nor did it demand that the transition team use govt servers, either.

The short answer? They chose poorly. There is no reasonable expectation of privacy when using govt servers as thousands of FOIA requests illustrate. You or I or basically anybody can likely obtain those same emails thru such a request.

So, wah. Just wah. It's just another episode of Trump team ineptitude.

At least one member of the Trump team has an idea of how to obtain operational security, Scott Pruitt-

Maybe he's paranoid for a reason...

Probably because he knows the shit he's doing can get him thrown in jail. Nah...

More information coming to light and all roads point to the obstruction of justice by Trumproast.

You've been pretty open in professing that Hillary did nothing wrong, so please enlighten me as how your position differs.

She has already been cleared of criminal wrongdoing wrt her email server & the rest of it. Except Pizzagate, of course.

And obstruction of justice by the repubs on the investigation as well.

 

[fskimospy]

The rationale for not turning some emails from Clinton's server was that they were explicitly NOT 'official correspondence'.

I'm of the opinion that official correspondence from both parties is fair game. Some people apparently differ on that.

Will you Please explain to me why what Hillary (who wields no power) may or may not be guilty of should take precedence over what the Plague in power may or may not be (likely is) guilty of?

Who cares. Hillary Clinton is the devil! She made the crops fail! Burn the witch!

LOL! She didn't drown (enough) so burn her!

If she's smart, they're flame retardant as well. Her haters heads would implode if she didn't catch fire.

Looks like Obama and his DOJ minions are the real obstructures of justice. I guess a few billion dollars worth of drug smuggling between friends is a big nothing burger.

Good! When will your boys bring them to trial the jail?
Let's remind you that your boys control Congress, the Presidency, the Supreme Court, the AG.

Look who downloaded the new talking points. Good boy, you were at a loss for words until they were provided to you.

As for those allegations if accurate then prosecute as appropriate. Given complete GOP control of the necessary branches I'm sure you won't blame Democrats when the indictments aren't forthcoming. I look forward to your raging posts about the obstructionist GOP perverting the course of justice.

The deep state will stop them because reasons, and buttery emails. The conspiracy is never ending.

Meanwhile back on topic, Trump is now throwing Flynn under the bus. Calling Flynn a liar to discredit any of his testimony before it’s revealed. Flynn must really have them worried, all the corrupt FBI talk and trying to get Mueller to stop all has come since the Flynn guilty plea.
