if you listened to his testimony, it wasn't 100% his decision to make that announcement wrt huma/anthony's computer(s). you also haven't actually detailed any alleged "baggage" in his testimony

Putin is not a Republican or a Democrat. He is ex KGB and can just as easily try to rig an election for the Democrats. Our country is under attack and people like Inso and Rara think it's all a game.

But you know, her emails and snowflake tears taste salty! Yay, you won!
Yeah, at this point, if democrats want to win in 2018 they should run on a platform of letting Putin have all of Ukraine.

Librul activism in SCOTUS? Straight to DEFCON 1, gotta go pull the lever for a dangerously narcissistic idiot to avert the dire consequences to Inso's life of.... [placeholder for when I work out what those consequences are].
Grumching here, but those dire consequences for inso are, like they are for virtually every other Trump supporter, such things as having to press 1 for English and not being able to openly disparage brown people without having some egg headed librul hippy make him feel ashamed for being a bigot

Were American troops supposed to occupy Iraq indefinitely?
Don't forget that Obama didn't decide to leave Iraq, he was working with a deal negotiated in 2008 between the US and Iraq that called for US troops to leave by the end of 2011. Iraq wasn't cool with the US wanting its soldiers to be immune to Iraqi law so they wouldn't approve a new deal.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Why didnt the democrats nominate Bernie?" as the obvious answer to the question is, he didn't get as many votes as Hillary in the primary.

Hillary is a politician with an insane amount of credentials, and, for the most part, solid liberal values. More importantly, she was established on a worldwide level, had years of experience in both domestic and foreign relations, and is the closest person to one of the most popular presidents of all time.

All these republicans talk about ending affirmative action and hiring the best candidate for the job based on resume and qualifications, well guess what? Hillary was clearly the most qualified of all 20 candidates we had, and possibly the most qualified person on the entire planet, and the lever went down for a narcissistic orange nut job because he was ****ing on TV and made up a catch phrase or something.

Honestly, it appears the way to win elections is just lie 100% of the time, and then never follow through with any campaign promises.

Yeah weird how they all HATE affirmative action but have no problem hiring a completely unqualified buffoon to run the country...

And Yates. And Clapper. And Brennan. And Rogers.

You know the types. Career workers all willing to go under oath and perjure themselves just to make Trump look bad.

That's mighty unfortunate. I'm not American and even I know the American Constitution doesn't work like that.

Just IMAGINE someone said "In this country, we worship Allah" to him. Think they'd be under terrorist investigations?

Notice that never seems to work out too well for the people actually doing the work. Christie's aides are headed to prison while he's going to fetch cheeseburgers for Trump or whatever.

They know it's provably false and wouldn't hold up in a court of law, so they insist on trying him in the court of public opinion. It's the only way to keep the base loyal and fed w/redmeat at the same time.

Not sure how we can do it back to them. We just don't have the right intel and them doing it to themselves through healthcare and stuff isn't enough. We need more. Help from the investigations before 2018 would be really really big.

Btw

The New York Times

CNN

Chuck Schumer

All the above said Trump personally was under FBI investigation before Comey was fired.

According to Comey, all were wrong/lied.

None have apologized.

So pure.

Still waiting on these citations. Thanks bud.

I didn't catch it during this last hearing but did anyone ask Comey about the RNC getting hacked (or R groups in general)?

The assumption on r/The_Donald was: These silent observers must be disappointed with what Comey was saying. It was a “liberal tears” meme in the making, without visible tears. “It really is just like election night all over again,” the top comment on the photo read. “LMAO this is too much winning.”
dude is an r/the_donald poster LOL

harkin what did morons think was going to happen during government testimony, people cheering like it's the NBA Finals when Durant dropped that 3 over Lebron?

Somehow, even if you control every lever of the government, you can still blame the other party when you can't even get your own party on board for your unicorns and leprechauns.

Looks like a thing that might work is hack the voting, take all three branches, and block all investigations / inquiries indefinitely. It sounds crazy, but only if you aren't an authoritarian psychopath that's willing to do anything to win.

Comey is brilliant and knows the law. Basically, he's the antiTrump and is going to mop the floor with Trump's wanna-be toupee.

Loretta Lynch was bait. Using the word "leak" when he knows he didn't leak anything was also bait. And they're falling for both hook, line and sinker.

Just my opinion, but Comey isn't done. Watch Trump and his counsel get owned over the next week or two.
