Welcome to America

Per reporting in The Miami Herald trump paraded two convicted war criminals he recently pardoned in front of the Republican Party of Florida’s annual Statesman’s Dinner audience last night. I guess he views these as the best two people to represent our armed forces.

I did state my sources a couple of months back. I went to a lot of trouble to make the list and include links and all that. I was actually proud of it and felt a little vulnerable and no one even challenged me on them. And, no, Fox news is not one of go-to sources. What are your sources? (Besides CNN/MSNBC) You and MoePoppaJ tell me yours and I will go back and find my post...

As I have said before: NPR, BBC, ABC, CBS, New York Times, Washington Post, Reuters, CNN. It's a funny thing about mainstream media, you don't get to stay in business unless you are proving that you provide a vital service. Are you going to say something juvenile again? Why don't you try that trick about changing the content of my statement? That childish trick is just as funny today as it was the last time you used it.

I received the strangest message from the money in my retirement account. It first thanked me for voting for Trump in 2016 but then threatened to leave me if a Dem takes office in 2020.....What to do, what to do???

Since money seems to be your only driver I guess you could apply to be a new order oligarch.

Report is not out and it was not focused on the origins of the Russia probe. Durham’s report is all about origins of the Russia probe. We will know in due time.

Internal Justice watchdog finds that Russia probe was justified, not biased against Trump

The report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded that the FBI and the Justice Department launched their investigation into the 2016 campaign not for political reasons, but because of evidence the Russian government was using cutouts to reach out to the Trump campaign as part of its efforts to influence the election.

Horowitz found that political bias did not taint the actions of former FBI leaders who have frequently been the subject of presidential attacks on Twitter, including former Director James Comey, former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and former Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok.

Republicans in their best yellacopter voices cannot differentiate between official US policy and personal gain or understand the investigative process.

Internal Justice watchdog finds that Russia probe was justified, not biased against Trump

The U.S. attorney who is conducting a wide-ranging investigation of the origins of the Trump-Russia probe released a rare statement Monday saying he disagrees with conclusions of the so-called FISA report -- after DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz found in that review that the probe's launch largely complied with DOJ and FBI policies.

“Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened,” U.S. Attorney John Durham said in a statement.

Stay tuned, more to come.

I don’t agree that the sky is blue.

I have the utmost respect for the mission of the Office of Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by Mr. Horowitz and his staff,” Durham said. “However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department. Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S.”

The inspector general’s report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken,” Barr said in a statement

“It is also clear that, from its inception, the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory,” he continued. “Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump’s administration.”

Why don’t you trust the DOJ and Durham’s investigation? You hate our law enforcement officials?

I just wanted to show the results of the investigations. If you think this was a witch hunt, you are delusional and as corrupt as your president*.
Also, this chart says either the Republicans are the worst investigators of all time, or they are the most criminal political party of the last half century.

Barr is clearly biased and acting as trump’s personal attorney and not in the country’s best interests. You’re familiar with bias. that thingrepublicans keep whining about in these hearings.

A police chief’s take on how republicans support law enforcement.

"I don't want to hear about how much they support law enforcement. I don't want to hear about how much they care about lives and the sanctity of lives yet, we all know in law enforcement that one of the biggest reasons that the Senate and Mitch McConnell and (Texas Sens.) John Cornyn and Ted Cruz and others are not getting into a room and having a conference committee with the House and getting the Violence Against Women's Act (passed) is because the NRA doesn't like the fact that we want to take firearms out of the hands of boyfriends that abuse their girlfriends. And who killed our sergeant? A boyfriend abusing his girlfriend. So you're either here for women and children and our daughters and our sisters and our aunts, or you're here for the (National Rifle Association).
So I don't want to see their little smug faces talking about how much they care about law enforcement when I'm burying a sergeant because they don't want to piss off the NRA. Make up your minds, whose side are you on? Gun manufacturers, the gun lobby, or the children that are getting gunned down in this country every single day."

This is how disinformation works. The president invents conspiracy theories which are amplified by Fox News & Republicans trying to get on Fox News. Then, a neutral report debunks the conspiracy theories, but they all just lie and pretend it vindicates them instead. Rinse, repeat https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1204374382715506690 …

I don’t know what report current Director of the FBI Christopher Wray was reading, but it sure wasn’t the one given to me. With that kind of attitude, he will never be able to fix the FBI, which is badly broken despite having some of the greatest men & women working there!

It was never a witch hunt. It was the men and women of federal law enforcement doing their jobs.

In the rush to obtain and maintain FISA surveillance of Trump campaign associates, FBI officials misled the FISA court, omitted critical exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or ignored information negating the reliability of their principal source. The Inspector General found the explanations given for these actions unsatisfactory,” Barr continued. “While most of the misconduct identified by the Inspector General was committed in 2016 and 2017 by a small group of now-former FBI officials, the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in the Inspector General’s report reflects a clear abuse of the FISA process.”

The idea that Acevedo promotes in that clip, that firearm ownership is a man’s thing, so if you support it you’re standing against women, is so disgustingly and moronically sexist, it’s logical vomit.

Domestic violence is literally a classification of prohibited possession with NCIC, Acevedo lies that it isn't. That classification is why criminals like the abuser in my situation referenced get guns on the black market

You are quoting an NRA spokesperson!

There were some faults but no corruption unlike the investigation of trump that found rampant corruption. You’re once again relying on liar Bill Barr.
