Mueller was put in place to go on a fishing expedition. Special prosecutors are only put in place *after* a crime was committed. The only thing they have now are PROCESS crimes - after the fact.

If Hillary lies to the FBI - we get to LOCK HER UP. But thats a process crime.

"Weaponizing law enforcement"...pfft...you guys invented that shit!
Mueller was appointed long after it was discovered that many people in the Trump admin had lied about their contact with Russians.

Mueller was put in place because the president fired the head of the FBI for investigating criminal activity by his administration.

If you think the National Security Adviser lying to the FBI about his dealings with a hostile foreign power is a ‘process crime’ instead of a dire threat to national security I don’t be know what to tell you.

Well if Fox News debunked it (according to you), then I guess I will have to put a call into the FBI and halt the investigation first thing Monday morning!

Try reading the OP, dumbass. See if you count the number of times the uranium bollocks was mentioned.

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.
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?

I take it you've never actually seen Fox News. His message is spot on, if one takes the facts derived from there.

The US would have been a lot better off if we had put Hillary in prison before the election so someone else was running against Trump.

Hey, there's no denying that part.

Can someone tell us what, exactly, we'd be putting Hillary in prison for? I want specifics.

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.

When it comes to politicizing the Department of Justice, I feel it is rational in the partisan sense. Hillary is still the only Democrat face that Republicans recognize, and while their hopes and dreams of "policy" are dashed at every sight of reality... it stirs up anger. For every jab, jape, and mockery of Trump... it stirs up anger. Hillary would just be first blood in a political civil war that is already raging hot and wild in the minds of our venomously divided populace. It becomes a game of chess and we start trading pieces.

As sacrificial lambs to the slaughter, who wants to serve the public next? Or rather... be served to them.

America has become the madhouse of an impotent, failed, state. Have we not? The basic problem we face is that elections have little to no consequence. Barrack Obama gave a nation hope, after the disaster that was Bush and the Iraq war. Backlash against Republicans was raging hot back then. What did the nation get in exchange for that new direction? What do we have to show for it? What will we have when this Republican wave ends? Nothing positive, I'll tell you that.

In America, hope has been replaced with despair. What lives can be improved by winning an election? So I'm afraid our people's passion for Democracy is slowly eroding into something much darker. This game of chess to knock out pieces may just be the beginning.

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.
You think that's what the committee is working towards? ha ha ha .........

Being Hillary? Seems sufficient at this point. It's like you've been investigated x times go to jail regardless of the evidence.

You guys are just determined to be as bone-headed ignorant as possible, i know.

I just posted a video of him reiterating that he didn't know about Papadopolous - a recent one - that apparently escaped you. That video also has a CNN reporter stating that Clapper just said the NYT article was not true. It's as clear as it gets.

But here's one from last year, before any of this NYT nonesense came out :

James Clapper: I didn't know about Papadopoulos, Trump Tower meetings when I said there was no Trump-Russia collusion
Nov. 12, 2017, 2:02 PM

Now before you go on about the content of this 2 month old article, keep one thing in mind. Natalia Veselnitskaya, the Russian that met with Trump Jr, worked for Fusion GPS.

Let me say that again, the Russian lawyer who was meeting with Trump Jr worked for the same company that published the Dossier. The same company that was being paid by the DNC.
You're trying to pose as someone whose views are based on fact, unlike the rest of us who live in an echo chamber. Here's your chance to put your money where your mouth is.

In your first post, you claimed that the "fraudulent" Steele Dossier was the cause of this investigation and the justification for FISA warrants. Yet the very first exchange in your video explicitly contradicts this. Clapper states that the dossier was NOT the impetus for the investigation. Clapper also acknowledges Papadopoulos was one of the factors prompting the investigation, even though the name wasn't on his radar. More on this shortly.

Your Business Insider link above is one of the sources I consulted to see what Clapper actually said. Did you read it? It corroborates exactly what I said. In it, Clapper says he was not specifically aware of Papadopoulos trying to arrange a meeting between Trump and Putin, not that he knew nothing about him at all. In the same article, Clapper says he was unaware off the Trump Tower meeting, something we know with certainty to be a fact.

So, let's go back to my point to Fern which you quoted and then ignored. What is your explanation for Clapper claiming to be unaware of the Trump Tower meeting. Are you objective enough to recognize that same rationale applies to his comment about Papadopoulos? The ball's in your court.

@shady28 -- Crickets, exactly what I expected.

I wish I had a nickel for every time this scenario has played out in P&N:
1. Obvious GOP faithful claims he forms his own opinions and is driven by facts.
2. Facts and reason presented that refute faithful's claims, often from his own links
3. Crickets​

Now if we could just change that to "3. Profit!" we'd all be rich.

Why are you trying to change the subject? We are finally going to get the bottom of Hillary's crooked schemes to take bribes for her "charity".

You'll get her this time! Keep jumping it won't be yanked out of your reach yet again. You just have to trust the GOP leadership they aren't blowing smoke up your ass for the 853rd time. If you don't get her well then we know how this plays out.

The conspiracy is even bigger than we imagined, we'll need a new investigation to look into the previous investigation. Trust them they won't be blowing smoke up your ass for the 854th time.

I'll bet you a warm bottle of half drunken' Bud that Hillary will be cooling her heels in a women's federal correctional facility tending prison gardens by day and writing poetry by night begging for a pardon before Trump leaves office in 2025.

What say you?

Gawd. Trump will be lucky to stay in office until 2021.

We don't put ex presidents in prison, lucky for him.

Seeing as you insist on doing their work for them, have you put in any requests for reimbursement from the Russians yet? Surely your efforts should be worth a couple of rubles or so.
