I’ll ignore his attorney’s admission and ask this: *If* he asked another country’s president to investigate the Dem frontrunner, would you call for impeachment? Censure? Fair game for a Republican feeding frenzy and remove him as nominee?

So, anyone running for office is immune to investigation? There's a mile of difference between asking someone to investigate very suspicious happenings vs asking someone to investigate for pure political reasons that are out of the blue.

Nothing on Biden is new. But he had the call WITH A PRESIDENT OF ANOTHER COUNTRY a few months after Biden declared his candidacy. Your MAGA glasses don't allow you to put country before Trump. You're an icon-worshipper.

The Ukrainian president wasn't inaugurated until 5-21-19. Sorta debunks your theory, eh?

It is when it illustrates that the outrage is not principled, but political.

That point is straight from Captain Obvious’s billboard. 
 

The politics of this are less important than what happened.

Then why did I have to make it?

 

Rhetorical question: I made it because you denied it.

:lol:  Literally no one is treating this story as such.  It's literally "But THIS time it's a problem!"

 

That's people treating the politics of this as more important than what happened.

We spent the last two years talking about the abuse of power of the intel community. Are you not reading this board? Jesus. 
 

And to help you out, the topic on the table in this moment is Trump as also part of the problem.

More to the thread, posting this segment for the last vid

 

What that last clip means: 

 

That's called rigging the system. 

 

Or breaking the law. 

 

And it's all on record.

But is it breaking the law?  Leaking to media and then using a media report as evidence to support probable cause.  Illegal or just a bad practice or shoddy work?

 

My growing concern over the surveillance and other dirty tactics that were deployed against the Trump campaign is that in the end so many people were involved, each in a small role, that individual crimes will not be found or will be very difficult to prosecute.  Rather the outcome might just be that people are guilty of bad individual job behavior.  They acted somewhat within the scope of their jobs but did not commit actual crimes.  If nobody is prosecuted, it's a rubber stamp for similar tactics to be used again.

If it's not breaking the law explicitly -- it should be. And shows the need for reform to the FISC/FISA procedures. 

 

That's always been a needed step in the cleanup process. Not just exposing the people behind the coup, but working to adjust the rules and regulations overseeing the secret court to prevent this kind of abuse. It seems with this hearing we're creeping towards that conversation.

It's a rational concern to hold. One I share. 

 

That's why we need the above reforms in combination with indictments. If we don't get the latter, we certainly need the former. At least if we get that, we'll be fixing a problem on some level. 

 

If they don't indict anyone or change the rules/regs, then we're truly ***** and no longer live in a republic. 

 

Which puts it on us, the people, to make that right. And that will get very ugly very fast.

It is illegal to misrepresent evidence to a FISA court.
