Oh, I definitely oppose any Supreme court nomination until this investigation is over.

Particularly the way the GOP blocked Obamas pick.

Now if anything involving trump gets to the supreme Court will his appointees recuse themselves?

However, witnesses who have been given limited immunity to prosecution have testified that they helped set up the meeting for Prince regarding a back channel to the Russians, and have given Mueller a paper trail of evidence to tie Prince to it.

Stay tuned to next week's episode of "Indictment of the Week".

I don't quite understand. Has there been more recent and updated info on this subject?

The article you are referencing is from June 25th which would mean the Stay tuned to next week's episode of "Indictment of the Week" should have happened 2 months ago.
 
Erik Prince.....the guy who supplies all US PRES with mercenaries....Bush, Obama.....

The Empire War Complex is so goddam messy for left/right paradigm robots

I was answering nevergops question



NeverTrumpGOP said:
Yeah all these people are talking to the FBI willingly and get immunity from the agency because they have nothing to hide. hehe. Remember when you said Cohen broke no laws?? That was funny too. If the FBI is doing such a horrible job then why is Mr. Swampy acting like a caged animal lashing out at everything as being unfair??? Wouldn't you think that if the people that talked to Mueller really had nothing to tell him, then he wouldn't care what they said to Mueller in the first place????

It is MY question. Your post is shallow to nonsensical without an explanation. It doesn't even answer GOP.

Please explain why this is a "unfair investigation", if you can. It appears that you can not.

Why do I need to explain something that has been discussed ad nauseum on this site for months. So you can respond with a unt-uh. There is an ample amount of evidence to justify people's suspicions that the investigation isn't be conducted fairly.

NTG asked why Trump was aggressively pushing back and my response answered that. Nothing more, nothing less.

Ok, so now provide credible third party evidence for that statement, as it seems far more "impression" than "fact driven". I insist on people being able to support what they say here. This is 'debate politics" not "argue impressions of politics".

I am speaking to the topic when I counsel holding off on the champagne. I still know about the witch hunt.

To be clear, are you interested in debating with whether there is or is not credible evidence to suggest that the investigation is tainted with an unfair bias against him?

I'm not opposed to laying it all out in detail but I'm not going to do so if your not going to participate beyond saying no and not making a case that explains why you don't agree.

Also if you are interested in having this discussion, a new thread for it would probably be more appropriate.

Yes. You made the statement that the investigation is unfair. That is a provocative statement as is contrary to the status quo (that federal investigations are conducted in due course with fairness and deference to the rule of law... moreover, Bob Mueller has been widely acclaimed as a 1st rate law enforcement officer lauded by Republicans and Democrats alike).

Robert Mueller's charter was to investigate the Russian interference in the 2016 US elections, including understanding relationships between members of the Trump campaign and Russia.

Again, Trump chose to surround himself with senior people that had deep ties to Russia.

Do you not think, in the interest of national security and the preservation of our democracy that his should have been well investigation?

The fact that your statement stands contrary to conventional wisdom on this subject puts the burden on you to support your statement.

I did not make the statement that the investigation is unfair. I said there is enough evidence available to suspect that it may be unfair. There are many of examples of the fbi and the doj not following typical protocols in their investigation involving trump. That needs to be explained before it can be dismissed.
