Still waiting on that proof of Clinton giving Russia 20% of our uranium you said was ironclad days ago. Please, continue the gish-gallop as you leave unfounded accusations swimming in your wake like so many turds.
“Iceburgh?”
“It’s a little bitty place.”
“Iceburgh!?”
“Okay, I’ll just wipe it off, that’s all. It’s just a little town.”
It really wasn’t.
Remember Watergate? What did they go after Nixon for?
Just you wait, that’s the next step - rehabilitating Nixon in defense of Trump.
That would fit–I’m pretty sure the FBI arrested one of Richard Nixon’s Horcruxes last week.
many people keep clearances after they retire from their job. You might recall that from Trump talking about taking away clearances from people last year and many of them were no longer in government jobs.
Many civilian jobs require clearances
And typically they are good for 10 years

That’s just major convictions. Not investigations.
Was that supposed to be a link? A search with those words yields over a dozen different lists.
This commentary basically says what I was poorly trying to say.
And reminds me of things like Hillary destroying evidence requested in an investigation, clearly obstruction.
Bill was proven to have also lied to Congress in investigations.
The same actions some of these Trump aides were actually convicted for but what were the Clinton’s consequences?
I’m not even trying to outline a double standard or defend Trump , just point out these things rarely go much of anywhere and the higher up you are , the less likely you are to see any real consequences.
Some aides, a lawyer get convicted… Doesn’t give me much faith Trump will.
Peons commonly take the fall.
I’ve seen a case where an officer tried to sneak an AK back from Iraq and was caught…who served time for it? The nco he had cast the parts into a concrete guidon base.
If you think Trump is going to be impeached and you want that I’m afraid you are being a bit too optimistic.
Yeah , just a wiki. I’m sure it’s not comprehensive but it’s just showing there are more than plenty.
I seem to remember Bill being impeached. Did my brain make that up?
Anyone want to give me the over-under on whether any of myriad unsourced claims in that article hold up?
About as well as the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
Wat? That never happened. Where do you get your news from?
That and I think most of Washington knows most of Washington is breaking a rule somewhere. Just seems to be a trend that Everytime one party doesn’t get their way all of a sudden there’s accusations and investigations flying around because waaah we didn’t get our way instead of focusing on how now can we best forward our own agenda with this person in place.
The biggest risk here is the implied quid pro quo that comes with working directly with the foreign power.
Acting through an independent third party (that is not empowered to either negotiate on the campaign’s behalf, conspire to break US law, or even know/reveal the source of funding) provides an inherent buffer against any claims of quid pro quo.
Sure, if the Russians somehow figured out that Steele worked for Fusion GPS who worked for Perkins Coie who worked for the Clinton campaign, and the Russians hated Trump, they could have conceivably fed him some information to help Clinton/hurt Trump, but there would be no expectation of anything in return.
It’s kinda like the difference between a boss propositioning an employee directly, and a boss asking a friend to help him find a date, so the friend creates an anonymous match.com account that happens to match with the same employee.
Does this not make sense to you?
Yes I know, no Democrat has ever committed a crime. Any accusation of such is either made up or unfounded because they paid someone to do it for them rather than do it themselves.
This actually makes some sense, thank you.
Yes and took it happening twice to reach that point.
