This administration is definitely attempting to “drain the swamp.” I have two questions for you though Rhino. 1. Has trump obstructed justice? 2. Are you confident the people Trump chooses to replace the swamp critters will be any less corrupt or shady?

Doesn't mean there isn't any - just that it's not public. The stuff in public they spin as obstruction do not meet that bar. 2. IMO The long term plan isn't to replace one swamp monster with another - it's to restore the peoples' voice in government by removing the swamp creatures entirely. A lot of the "swamp" isn't swampy on their own accord, they were forced into compliance through blackmail or other forms of leverage illegally collected by the IC. That network of control is being dismantled so the elected officials are free to vote as they please. So far, that plan seems to be on track.
TakeYouToTasker Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 25 minutes ago, gatorbait said: Has trump obstructed justice? I'll field this, though I know it was not directed to me: No, he has not. The Chief Executive has the authority to fire whomever he wishes working under him who serve at the pleasure of the President. The President fired James Comey, and he said why he fired him. Comey was "wasting time with Russian nonsense", and the President wanted him focused elsewhere. The President's firing of Comey did not impede or obstruct the ongoing investigation; and if the firing of James Comey rose to the standard of obstruction of justice then there is nothing left to investigate, as the President fired him for the reasons he gave in plain sight, in front of God and the whole world. If firing Comey were obstruction of justice, the President would be being tried for obstruction of justice. But he is not, because it is not. 1
gatorbait Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 If Trump fires Mueller would that be obstruction? It seems to me if the president fires anyone who questions him or investigates him we are inching closer to being an authoritative state with dictators. I have never seen this kind of stuff in my lifetime.

I have never seen this kind of stuff in my lifetime. Mueller works for the executive branch. It's well within Trump's rights to fire him in terms of the letter of the law. The political fallout would be extreme though. But that doesn't make it obstruction. That said, I don't think Mueller will be fired. He's needed still.

I have never seen this kind of stuff in my lifetime. Firing people who "question him" isn't an appropriate way to describe the Trump White House. Trump fires people who can't, or won't, work to further the governing agenda of his Administration; and he replaces those whom have served there purpose within his administration. That's reasonable at worst, and a net positive at best.

Deranged Rhino Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 CBS is starting to see what's coming... Quote With Trump declared guilty by Democrats and all but convicted in the press, what happens if Mueller confirms the findings of the Republican-controlled House Intelligence Committee -- that there's plenty of Trump campaign incompetence, but no collusion? For people who hate or love Trump, it won't matter. They've already made up their minds. But for the majority of casually-political Americans--who already think Washington politicians are worse than lawyers and used car salesmen when it comes to "very low" ethical standards--what will they conclude if they're told that the whole point of the investigation from the beginning was based on a baseless charge? Many are likely to think that if there was no collusion, then the entire story really was the "witch hunt" President Trump keeps telling them it is. He will have turned out to be right, no matter how many other things he did wrong. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/commentary-what-if-trump-is-right-and-there-is-no-collusion/ 1

Though if they catch wind that Mueller will find no collusion (and especially if Mueller goes after Obama's people for their corruption), the DNC and their media pets will quickly invent the next anti-Trump storyline to advance their soft-coup.

The firm that was founded by Bannon and had ties to Russia. How was it "lifted"? It's how FakeBook works. Quote Indeed, the most alarming aspect of Cambridge Analytica's "breach" is that it wasn't a breach at all. It happened almost entirely above board and in line with Facebook policy. Aleksandr Kogan, a University of Cambridge professor, accessed the data of more than 50 million Facebook users simply by creating a survey filled out by 270,000 people. Facebook provided Kogan with the data of anyone who took the survey, as well as their friends' data. In a statement, Facebook said, "Kogan gained access to this information in a legitimate way and through the proper channels that governed all developers on Facebook at that time." http://money.cnn.com/2018/03/19/technology/business/facebook-data-privacy-crisis/index.html That's what happens when people give away their personal info willy nilly. I like how Zuck says, hey, we told 'em to delete it. Like you can really delete anything on a computer network. Zuch thinks we're total fools like most of his subscribers.

Or they'll just say that Trump successfully outmaneuvered the investigation.
