We need a special prosecutor for Hillary.
Who, HITLAR!

If there is anything to be learned from all this email business (and I mean Trump and his own as well) is that the laws regarding communications of public officials and their offices and campaigns need to be amended and strengthened, removing whatever ambiguity exists if for no other reason than to prevent this nonsense of persecution of political opponents.

To keep the corruption at a minimal level, from time to time a sacrifice must be made. Corrupt politicians don't come much more in-your-face than Hillary and few operate at the same level. A sacrifice is in order and I believe there will be one. Unfortunately, it will probably be Huma Abedin. If the Clintons slink off into the night never to be heard from again we'll at least have that.

It's laughable to see the brainwashed masses knee-jerk their support for Hillary. Uninformed pretty much wholly and oh so willingly by a media that decides what they need to hear, they defend a woman that has gamed the system for her benefit her entire life. While her ministrations to feather her own nest have escalated, the knowledge of her supporters has decreased. Both sides of the equation equal out. Unfortunately for Hillary she lost. The new sheriff has let loose the hounds and somebody is going to get bit.

So, we get the usual jackasses defending her, threatening those that are going after her. It's all they've got and it makes me laugh. I laugh at them the same as I laugh at them every single day here. A pack of idiots, near idiots and mindless drones confirming to each other how smart they think they are as they pile out of the short bus into every post.

Without idiots like that would the Democrat party even exist? I think not.


In this case, it is irrational to pursue Hillary for what was at most a tempest in a teapot. But rationality is nuanced, and from a viewpoint of non-partisan thought this is senseless however this persecution, yes that is the word, makes sense in the context of a criminal who is looking to blame everyone else to distract from their actions. These low lives may be educated, wealthy and powerful but they are sewer rats dressed in finery. The modern Tammany Hall, the Republicans. Say what you want about Hillary but compared to these creatures in the Trump camp she's a better all around person and I don't particularly car for her.

The double standard on this board is great. Hillary scrubbed her server, hundreds to thousands of emails "missing" and people possibly dead due to this. AT P&N is sure of no wrong doing.

But yet AT P&N is sure Trump needs to be in jail, because the Russians took the free will of voters! LOL

I think that's a great idea.

Let's have every Repub in the House and Senate get in on this and create the mother of all investigation committees and have all of them investigate these crimes against the GOP and their donor class to the exclusion of every other treacherous act they were plotting against the middle class and the poor until they all get voted out of office for neglecting the actual jobs they were elected to perform.

It seems like they all want to get in on these Reality TV shows for the face time they get from it, so let's give these fvcking crooks what they want.

The thing is, these guys have never investigated anything. If you recall, all of these committees were scheduled hearings to get their enemies up on TV and put them in front of panels. Little if any evidence was every presented and it certainly wasn't scrutinized ahead of time. These have only ever been shows because for the GOP, the show is all that matters. And it works because their supporters are proven morons. Call "an investigation" simply means schedule some event a week or two later to make a public display. It was never anything more. Otherwise, charges would have been brought by now. It isn't going to happen.

With Mueller, you have a near year-long investigation (picked up from the FBI) that has been doing the actual work of investigation: evidence gathering. Witness collection. Testimony. Grand Juries. ...several Grand Juries. Lol: Mueller already has 3 indictments with something like 30 that are still sealed in DC court. These are absolute facts that conservatives are forced to cram into the lowest recesses of their brain stem lest objective reality trigger their over-inflated amygdala.

Conservatives bitch and moan and cry into their pillows because "This is not how investigations work! I seen on the TV that they need to get them evil doers up in front of people and yell at them, waving papers! I seen how it works!" This is why it is easy to convince conservatives that nothing is happening with Mueller because it isn't the reality TV that they expect to see. It's actual work. Conservatives fucking hate it when real work and real reality interferes with their safe, GOP-curated realities.

gaslighted. Every one of them. Watch as they squirm and cry.

Everyone already knows this is a political theater pushed by a few republican lawmakers who are using this to appease their base and keep Clinton stories on Foxnews.

Sessions is simply following through on a request by Republican lawmakers last fall.

Nothing has changed. No new evidence. No one actually takes these investigations seriously anymore. Not even the the lawmakers (like Goodlatte who made the request) takes this crap seriously. Only idiots and people whose wits left them long ago give a crap about this.

The goal is to demonize Clinton and keep her in the news.
If they allow her to fade away they risk allowing time\absence to turn her into a hero. That "absence makes the heart grow fonder" thing. They are wasting government resources.

The problem is republicans are big into hero worship and they hate the fact that democrat have the Clintons. They got to the point where the Kennedy legacy died off and they could push Reagan as the new Jesus and then Clintons came around.

Is it too early to ask for evidence that would put Clintons in prison. An actual hard evidence? Any evidence? Testimonies? Witnesses? Paper trails?

Have we come to the conclusion if boomerang is a parody poster yet? There’s no way any normally functioning person has this little self awareness or projects this obviously, right?

He makes some pretty clueless posts on different subforums too, so I'm thinking he's legit.

As long as they spend, say maybe 50% of the same time and resources investigating Trump's Foundation-under which for many years he used other people's money to pay his own personal and corporate expenses-including such minor things as Donald Jr.'s $8 Boy Scout registration fee.

The results should be pretty interesting. Nearly all third party reviews of the Clinton Foundation give it very high marks for percentage of funds actually spent on goats, etc, while Trump's appears to be the typical bottom feeder piggy bank.

OTOH what a clear and obvious vindictive abuse of power-which WE pay for.

It is kind of amusing they've decided to launch an investigation into self-dealing at the Clinton Foundation despite there being no evidence of that while refusing to investigate the Trump Foundation despite large amounts of self-dealing that's already been uncovered.

This does highlight a really important thing though, that it's not just Trump. Sure he's horrible, but he would probably be out of office already if Congress were upholding its Constitutional duties. Extreme partisanship has destroyed the legislative branch's willingness to hold the executive to account and to police criminal activity.

During one of the debates, Trump said to her face she scrubbed the servers, she didn't deny it.

Trump literally thinks that "clean coal" is coal that is physically scrubbed. No one fucking knows what the hell Trump is saying other than he clearly doesn't understand a fucking thing. Smart people don't play idiot games with idiots. Hillary has no rational reason to play with Trump's 4th grade playground baiting.

This ought to be good, just look how excited the righties on this forum are getting! I can't wait to hear the new excuses they come up with when the investigations turn up nothing.

Party before country!

Nice assertion. Do you have a single scrap of objective evidence to back it up?

I'm sure if the nutters jump just a bit faster and higher this time they will grab that Hillary indictment before the deep state and George Soros can yank it just out of their grasp yet again!

Right, right.. forgot this is AT P&N where saying there is "possible" connection is an assertion, but 21 pages of a false rumor is truth worth discussing.

So... pure conjecture is the standard of evidence your are comfortable with....

I am out of step with most of the posters here. I think the Russia investigation is possibly a partisan witch hunt which is going nowhere. I certainly have not seen or heard anything remotely close to a smoking gun.
