That’s not so, you would need to read the entire document for each item to search out where it might be.
But beyond that, Seth Abramson is not claiming that those 28 items are explicitly stated in the testimony. It’s his far-fetched and highly partisan interpretation of the testimony. This is very obvious to someone who read much of the testimony and SA’s claims, and can see how he’s taking these things from the testimony. There might be some things that would take longer to track down, but I’ve seen enough.
That may be but F-P is the one that claimed Page came off well in the testimony and that nothing of import came out of it. I think we can agree that of those 28 points - at least one or a few are accurate and important. Such as Hope Hicks being looped in on things. Also, pretty clear that Page did anything but come off well as F-P has stated.
Just to note again that I said Page came off well in the specific context of whether he appeared to be lying or not.
Of course, if you start off with the firm conviction that he must had colluded with Russians, then his denials are going to be obvious lies. But if you start with an open mind on that subject, and view it in the context of just this testimony, he comes off well, in that he appears to be struggling to be as accurate and precise as possible.
Whether he’s also in over his head in general, and a bit too focused on his own persecution at the hands of the government and the “dodgy dossier” is another story.
No, no! It’s the uranium! Hillary gave all of our uranium to the Russians and we can never make another bomb again and Hillary took the money to start up a sex slave ring under a pizzeria.
After Barack Obama was elected, there were some who wanted him to prosecute members of the Bush administration, particularly Dick Cheney for his role in fabricating or manipulating intelligence to lay the case for war. I was not among them. I generally believed in the notion that regardless of how tempting it might be, even though it might be technically actionable, the legal process shouldn’t be applied directly to the political process unless there’s just a damn good reason.
Now I can honestly say that if the Democrats take the White House and Congress, I think they should lock people up left and right. I don’t think they should lean on the DoJ but the public should demand an investigation into every possible illegal act that the Trump administration has committed and just throw them in jail. The Republican party just needs to die. It is a sick, diseased, disgusting party that appeals to lowlifes. That is all.
The only good thing to come out of this nightmarish debacle is the unavoidable conclusion that the Republican Party is rotten to its core. There is no atrocity they won’t either commit or ignore in their quest to bilk the hoi polloi out of their hard earned nickels and dimes, or to protect their wealthy benefactors.
The Republican Party of today is the most corrupt, craven, greedy uncaring collection of toadies I’ve ever known, in a long line of corrupt, craven, greedy uncaring collection of Republican toadies.
I don’t see how anyone can ignore the facts being revealed daily that rub our noses in this conclusion. Apparently 30% can, though.
I never thought I would say this, in America, but I want Republicans in this administration and their willing accomplices in Congress to go to prison. I will be angry if the Democrats retake power and this does not happen. This country is polluted with Republican filth. There needs to be a cleansing in this country.
Sadly, this is very, very true. Some members of the Republican Party - not just random dudes, but Republican Party Chairmen, would literally RATHER SUPPORT AND VOTE FOR A CHILD RAPIST, than have a Democrat in office:
I want them identified, prosecuted and convicted strictly by the rule of law, but yes – I don’t want to live through another Nixon pardon. I understood Ford’s reasoning, but I didn’t agree with it. There must be consequences for selling out your country to a hostile foreign power in exchange for loot.
It’s one of the main reasons I support Biden for President. He would be able to quickly identify and rectify the many, many abominations committed by this “administration.” With a willing Congress, he could put things to rights faster than anyone else could. There is already so much to do just to get back to where we were a year ago.
Alright, maybe I went over the top last night. There are probably at least some good Republicans, but they’re increasingly hard to find. Where’s the decency? Where’s the courage? It’s not that Democrats don’t have pervs in their midst - I’m sure they do. But I don’t see them trying to defend this sort of behavior.
In any case, I know this is about the Mueller case - sorry for the thread jack.
Yeah Raw Story can be a little sensationalist, but The Hill spams up my p.c. with ads. I prefer Politico. Anyway, the core of the case is, there might have been a plot to kidnap the Turkish cleric Gulen and get him into Turkey in exchange for $1.5 million.
