Trump gives AG Barr authority to declassify documents related to 2016 campaign surveillance

So then it is your position that the IG will have no criminal referrals?
None at all.

I would be shocked beyond belief.

FYI, I said similar stuff about Mueller's investigation. Often, people read way too much into the silence, and assumed it meant he was sitting something, when that's just not how prosecutors work.
 
And when the documents prove Comey, McCabe, and storzak were right will you accept that they have been wrongfully vilified?

Why would they show that they were right? There was no conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia.
 
Then those of us on the right will have to admit we were wrong like you guys on the left had to do with the Collusion hoax.
There was no collusion, that's correct.

There was however an illegal obstruction of justice plot, which was proven.
 
Then those of us on the right will have to admit we were wrong

Yeah, but will you admit you were wrong? Or will you, in fact, move your hopes on to another investigation?

25 indictments against Russians for interfering in the election. Do you think it would have been better if the investigation hadn't happened and Russian interference had remained hidden?
Odd. Strange message to want to send.
 
Acting coy is a very poor disguise for your q-anon fantasies.

You're flailing now, Cardinal. I had to google q-anon a couple of weeks ago because I kept seeing it used around here as a pejorative.

Stale attempts at a reductio ad absurdum do little in the face of actual evidence.
 
You say this as if you already know what the facts are.

You don't. You're emoting.

Let me tell you what I know:

I know what kind of people are untrustworthy.

I know that attorney general’s are supposed to be politically independent from the president and not act as the president’s personal attorney.

I know that Barr has demonstrated that as attorney general he has acted with a conflict of interest.


What I don’t know? I don’t know a single person who doesn’t put emotions into politics.
 
Yeah, but will you admit you were wrong? Or will you, in fact, move your hopes on to another investigation?

If that happens, they will walking in the footsteps of giants. The ink was scarcely dry on the report saying Trump did not conspire with Russia (meaning he's not a traitor, a Russian agent ECT ECT) before all those anti-Trump folks moved on to his finances.
 
Yeah, but will you admit you were wrong? Or will you, in fact, move your hopes on to another investigation?

Can't one do both? Isn't that what the left is attempting to do now? Snark aside No honestly I am not all that interested in seeing statesmanship going the way of endless and pointless attacks. If there is a clear violation of the law, arrest them and let them have their day in court. I would rather see debates over legislation on issues like immigration, healthcare, role of US military, the state of government run education, just to name a few.

Barr doesn't act as Trump's personal lawyer. What do you want him to do? Mueller found no conspiracy between Trump and Russia. Is Barr supposed to ignore that and pretend Mueller did find it?
The intelligence agencies were quite confident Trump had conspired. They were spectacularly wrong. Don't you want to know why so they won't make the mistake again?
 
Yeah, but will you admit you were wrong? Or will you, in fact, move your hopes on to another investigation?
That's why Barr started this extra review. He wants to help conservatives keep the deep state theories going, and he has reason to suspect the IG isn't going to support them.

There is word that the IG is not a fan of Steele or the departments relationship with him, but there's no word that he believes anything criminal was going on, or that the FISA warrants were not based on a sincere concern of Pages activities and probable cause he was compromised.

But the problem is that IG's (and I don't like this one) make definitive calls; they can't refer anything to Congress. If the IG doesn't find the evidence supports political bias factored into the warrant applications, he will say so explicitly in his report, and I don't think the circus in DC understands that would be a devastating quote from an IG report for them, regardless of what else the IG says he has a problem with.
 
The whole phony Russian collusion story is ready to explode. Something they never thought would see the day of light
will be released eventually as the AG works through all the material.

We should also see the IG report shortly. My guess it's completed ready to be released

What an phenomenal declassification order from the president!
 
25 indictments against Russians for interfering in the election. Do you think it would have been better if the investigation hadn't happened and Russian interference had remained hidden?
Odd. Strange message to want to send.

Of those "25 Russians" how many were found guilty in a court of law? How many were sentenced? How many of those sentenced were on a process crime, meaning Mueller created the crime. Before him there was no crime by how many again? How many of those sentenced for a crime that occurred during their time with the Trump campaign or Presidency?

How many "bad guys" did you catch while opened calling the President a traitor, something that has now been proved wrong?

Are you aware that we "meddle" in other country's elections? How do you feel about that?
 
Yeah, but will you admit you were wrong? Or will you, in fact, move your hopes on to another investigation?

So you admit that the Russian Collusion witch hunt was a big fat hoax foisted on foolish people who hated president Trump.
Never any truth to it! And of course you don't believe the congress should be playing police man going after the president again? :2wave::peace
