Rosenstein warns Americans to 'exercise caution' about anonymous reports

Praxas said:
That's funny because when there was talk of Clinton's IT specialist getting immunity, that's all we heard about from righties is how that proved he and Clinton were guilty. Now you guys are like "Oh it's not proof of guilt, he's just trying to protect himself". Funny how partisanship works like that.

You didnt hear that from me. Im a vocal advocate about giving out immunity if it get to the truth and help get who is at the top.

I wanted lerner to be given immunity during the irs hearings

What a remarkable claim. Do you have remarkable evidence to support that?

collusion no evidence.
comey already admitted in under oath that no obstruction took place.
so unless they are going to say that he lied. they don't have much evidence since
even the Deputy director stated the same thing in a news report.

so unless the FBI is going to just make up something they have little evidence with an obstruction charge.

the fact that this continues to go on like this is amazing.
I find it interesting that the DOJ had way more evidence on Clinton than they do on trump since there isn't any
and nothing came out of it.

but this is what happens when you have a DOJ that isn't corrupt.
however this stuff needs to end.

Flynn and Trump indicated that wanting immunity indeed was evidence of wrongdoing. They said so several times during the compaign.

I remember that with trump and criticized for it. Immunity is sn i.portant mechanism in our justice system.

what do we do with witches? burn them burn them.
so what else burns? wood
what else does wood do? it floats it floats.
precisely.

now what else floats? small pebbles, a duck.
correct so if she weighs as much as a duck she must float and then she is made out of wood and therefore a witch.
and what do we do with witches? burn them.

pretty much the logic being applied here.

You said that the WaPo got EVERY story wrong before the one reporting that Trump is under investigation. Can you support that claim? No more silly non-sequitur rants, please.

Good for you but it still establishes the standard both Trump and Flynn subscribed to that wanting immunity is an indication of wrongdoing.

No. But this is what Trump pushed us to. The house was going to investigate this matter. And if they had and said nothing happened then I'd readily accept that. But instead they partnered with the lead of the investigatory body and played politics and got him to leak certain info in a certain way to narrate a false story. So there goes that. If James Comey and the FBI had a full investigation and said there was no collusion, I'd accept that. But instead Trump tried to strong arm Comey and then fired him all the while lying about why he was firing him. So there goes that.

Now we have the special council. Right here and right now I can happily agree that if he comes back and says "We can't find any laws that were broken, at best we found some actions that were just a bit off, but no laws broken" Then you won't hear anything more about Russia from me.

I'm not sure if most liberals will let it drop if the special council says nothing wrong occurred, but I am.

One of the big problems here is that you don't see just how similar this is on both sides. If Hillary won, republicans would still be investigating her emails and Benghazi even though it's been investigated to death and the findings have been reported.

Thank you for a succinct summary!

Nunes and Team Trump conspired to do an end run and put the House Investigation to rest. It did not work.

Team Trump's electoral victory derailed Chaffetz' plan to continue investigating Hillary. Chaffetz, in spite of his popularity in his home district, faced a hostile crowd at his Town Hall meeting. Chaffetz (and Gowdy) preferred the role of Resistance, than the role of trying to advance Trump's agenda. Hence, Chaffetz has tendered his resignation.

I can speak for myself a lot better than I can speak for others. If Mueller's investigations come up zero(s), like you, I accept the results.

I just showed you. all these anonymous reports before this one have been wrong.

Comey blew the obstruction out of the water.
there is no evidence of collusion.

so far all the other reports have been a bust as well.

you continue to believe anonymous reports I will wait for facts.

Please demonstrate that EVERY story is wrong. ALL OF THEM.

The Washington Post was founded in 1877, so I imagine you'll have your work cut out for you. We'll wait.

The obstruction of justice investigation has only started recently. Benghazi was investigated for years. False equivalence.
 
The only thing these investigations have proven so far is:

1. The media is more corrupt than the accusations they're trying to pin on the administration.

2. The FBI is akin to the Keystone Cops.

Are you not aware of the cognitive dissonance displayed so abjectly in this post?

Why do you think Trump fired Comey and then told Russia it took great pressure off him?

You're using the term backwards, lots of people do. What Trumpers are displaying is a total lack of cognitive dissonance.

lol

in our ADD addled, Reality TV society we don't want to have to do anything that requires thinking. Why do you think hyper-partisanship has risen to such levels? Nope, we just want the knee jerk reaction and the drama. Which is pretty much how we ended up with Trump.
Click to expand...

No, we ended up with Trump because the Boehner-led GOP establishment acted like Democrat patsies, instead of keeping their promises. Very similar to how the Tea Party got started.

NYT and WP aren't your daddy's news sources.

Because Comey was dragging this well beyond what it should have been, and he already witnessed the complete lack of professionalism and overreach he displayed in the Hillary cover-up.

The FBI director serves at the pleasure of the President. He reports to him. Trump can fire him if he wants to.
