code Posted May 18, 2017 Report Share Posted May 18, 2017 Administration officials have said: He hates to read detailed information. He wants bullet points. His favorite source of information is broadcast news and internet web sites. He frequently deviates from script. He is not coachable (at 70+ years old, who is?) Trump has no interest in the truth. He craves attention. And, McMaster's best defense is that once the President says it the information is no longer classified. I would be a helluva lot more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt if he didn't have the perpetual lying habit. Citing the lack of special prosecutions during the Obama years -- a time of rampant criminal activity -- did nothing to make me say -- this guy is trustworthy. Obama had many a flaw. But he ran one of the cleanest administrations in history -- even if you were to believe that Benghazi was a crime -- no evidence to that fact was ever produced. And the GOP spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to find that evidence. Excusing him for ignorance is impossible. Laziness, moral bankruptcy, a craven ego ... yeah, all of those are more likely the root cause for his actions. Or the Russians own his ass. Whichever? You decide.

Number9 Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I think some people just do not realize it was Trump's DAG who decided to call in a SC. Also, the majority led repub house and senate have given complete support to this investigation. Where is the outrage? There is no substantial group of legislators who believe there in a witch hunt going on. Why? The only ones claiming anything is wrong are the molesting pervs at FOX. Why the DAG you ask. It's because the AG declared himself unfit. At this point, even Trump's mama probably is suspicious. Trump Better Call Saul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranger Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/us/politics/trump-russia-comey.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0 Quote “I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.” Mr. Trump added, “I’m not under investigation.” The White House document that contained Mr. Trump’s comments was based on notes taken from inside the Oval Office and has been circulated as the official account of the meeting. One official read quotations to The Times, and a second official confirmed the broad outlines of the discussion. Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, did not dispute the account. In a statement, he said that Mr. Comey had put unnecessary pressure on the president’s ability to conduct diplomacy with Russia on matters such as Syria, Ukraine and the Islamic State. “By grandstanding and politicizing the investigation into Russia’s actions, James Comey created unnecessary pressure on our ability to engage and negotiate with Russia,” Mr. Spicer said. “The investigation would have always continued, and obviously, the termination of Comey would not have ended it. Once again, the real story is that our national security has been undermined by the leaking of private and highly classified conversations.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't they know he didn't do anything wrong and that it's the media's fault? Soxcat doesn't post much in here anymore, but I'm 100% positive of his response. Little Earl posts a lot though, and his response has been to defend Trump on the issue. Can you imagine what their opinion would be if Obama compromised Israeli intelligence? I know exactly what their response would have been. So does everyone else. Holy shit. There would be no questions of sources, nor questions of validity. There wouldn't even be a question of whether Obama was just stupid. He'd be labeled a Muslim trying to destroy the Jews. Without question of any degree. This would be the only thing talked about in right wing media. Everyone here knows it. Even Duckie, although he'd spend the next 5 pages trying to distract from the fact before reluctantly admitting it. Ultimately, Trump isn't out to destroy Israel, he's just an idiot that doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. He's too damned worried about being the best person in the room. We have an idiot in chief. They all know it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I don't need them to admit to it. I know it's true and they know it's true. That's enough for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say anything, as I was not part of the inner group discussing the reasons for it. So you are wrong Rogue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
