I think your country deserves to have this motherfucker put through public trial ... one of the many things that will help you unite and heal.

seriously. This fucker needs to be put on trial. The criminals are concentrating in the administration ever since Nixon, because that rat-fucker was let off the hook. This shit needs to end, and Orange Retard needs to face real justice. So does his family. So do the dingleberries that mewl at his feet.

This says all we need to know:

Baker said the notion that Trump was acting at the behest of Russia was "discussed as a theoretical possibility."
"I'm speaking theoretically. If the President of the United States fired Jim Comey at the behest of the Russian government, that would be unlawful and unconstitutional," Baker said.
"Is that what happened here?" Rep. John Ratcliffe, a Texas Republican, asked Baker.
"I don't know,"
Baker responded, before the FBI lawyer cut off additional questions on that line of inquiry

The fact that they still don't know says a lot about the need for this investigation. To me, the fact that this investigation is still on going, tells me that this is bigger than trump and that we have more traitors among us than just trump.

Ted Cruz doesn't think anyone outside of DC cares about the investigation:

"There is an incredible divide between Washington and the rest of the country when it comes to Bob Mueller and the Russia investigation," Cruz said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "The mainstream media, Washington, is obsessed with it. And when you get outside the Beltway, I don't find anybody concerned with this at all."
Cruz said people he spoke with in Texas were concerned about economic issues and border security, not about the ongoing probes and allegations about Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Is the GOP really willing to trash the party to keep the orange turd in office?

Ted Cruz can eat a bag of dicks. Look at him come to the rescue of another moron who has it in for our credit rating. He insulted your family Ted, it's ok to let him fend for himself.

Gregg Jarrett: An FBI that is corrupt and dishonest -- Latest reports offer only more proof


Great piece on a slanted political witch hunt driven FBI. You guys are no better than conservative that were honestly scared of the supposed Jade Helm conspiracy.

Translation: oh look, I've found an opinion on the internet that agrees with me!


Hmm... wasn't jade helm a completely made up conspiracy? Last I checked the Mueller investigation actually resulted in criminal charges as well as guilty pleas. Apples and oranges, or if you prefer a more relatable analogy, TDS (trump dick suckers) vs normal Americans.

As time goes on the Republicans seem more desperate to cling to Trump, at least their key leadership. I wonder if Trump is not the only one with Kompromat?

FBI investigation into Trump = FBI corrupt
FBI investigation into Clinton = Lock her up!
FBI investigation into Clinton finds no criminal activity by Clinton = FBI corrupt
FBI/Special Counsel/NY investigation into Trump results in several guilty pleas and convictions with many more to come = FBI corrupt

You got to love the fact that Fox News can't even keep its BS narrative straight in the time taken to write one opinion piece.

"The FBI is corrupt"

"Why did these rogue officials commit such an outrageous act of malfeasance?"

If officials have gone rogue, that's hardly the FBI being corrupt now is it.

"Already incensed that Trump had defeated their preferred candidate, Hillary Clinton, they grew furious when the president fired Director James Comey on May 9, 2017. In reaction, they sought retribution."

Clearly! That's why Comey announced an investigation into Clinton's emails days before voting day, because the FBI wanted her to win.

Did you see Peter Strzok's anti-Trump texts? Corrupt.

Yeah the guy that could have leaked the investigation into Trump's campaign before the election and didn't is corrupt, but we get crickets from you and yours about that bitch Chaffetz that went public with the Clinton emails investigation letter.

Yikes.

He's captured the minds of too much of their shrinking party even though he's the one who's agressively shrunk it. They're so afraid of primary challenges that the'd let him nuke Philadelphia and still be just "troubled and concerned".

Remember for decades how conservatives tried to paint liberals as unpatriotic and a possible fifth column inside our country?

Those were the days.

You mean the decades back in 1983 when they asked Russia for help in the 1984 election? What about when Bill Clinton practically sold the White House to the Chinese? Don't forget about Democrats and the CPUSA.

Sometimes.. Not all the time, but sometimes, I wonder if you might have been dropped on your head as an infant.. Like... Out of a 2 story window.

A boyfriend sent his girlfriend a text about something or someone he didn't like.

Brace yourself Sparky, this may come as a shock... In this country, people are allowed to do this.

Ignoring your petty insults.

I see you guys do this all the time. You change the argument to being about rights to do something. Of course he has the right to be biased, he has the right to say what he wants about Trump, he has the right to dislike Trump. That is not nor was ever the argument or a point of contention.

But, what is the argument is that this guy has a bone to pick with Trump and obviously isn't capable of objectivity while investigating Trump given his hatred for Trump (which yes, he has the right to hate Trump if he wants). It makes the investigation look tainted and any thinking person should question the motives behind the investigation.

FBI agents likely have very low opinions about the mob bosses they investigate. Should they be removed from mob investigations?

Also, can you name a single, solitary improper official action that Strzok took in regards to this investigation? Be specific.

Practically almost might have nearly acted criminally.

I've been looking at what would be needed to open such an investigation and congratulations, Trump is the only one to reach the threshold.

There is nothing that nears any equivalency from any President in US history. The investigators would have needed much more than public behavior or what you can know to even start an investigation much less kick it up to special counsel. There needs to be at least legally defined reasonable suspicion to start and likely actual evidence sufficient to kick it to where it's wound up.

So we have declared criminal activity by Trump via the outcome of Cohen's trial with Trump being named as complicit.

Then there's obstruction. and now very serious information that rises to the threshold of being followed up on regarding Trump selling the nation out, not "practically"

Whether this is revealed to be true but recall Trump's position on people being investigated on far lesser potential crimes than treason.

Ain't lookin' good.

So if Trump is found to have committed crimes, not on the forum, but in factual findings based on evidence will you go "practically" and Clinton to mitigate?

just prior to this you wrote

Having trouble sticking to the narrative here? That is the thing with constant lying, its impossible to keep them all straight.

What action did he take that showed his bias interfered with his job? I'm not talking about a text he sent to his GF bitching about Trump. LEOs bitch about criminals to each other all the time.

In the minds of Trumpsters, If you don't like the President, then you need to be fired.

Oh you mean Clinton taking money from Charlie Tree? They arrested his ass. Obtaining money from questionable sources vs working with a foreign power to destabilize our country doesn't even compare.
