B-Man Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Quote Eric HolderVerified account @EricHolder FollowFollow @EricHolder The conduct of AG Barr over the last few weeks and in the hearing today has been shown to be unacceptable. I thought he was an institutionalist, committed to both the rule of law and his role as the lawyer for the American people. I was very wrong. He is protecting the President. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost as if you're unaware of the facts... They're going to surprise you. So a stupid twitter argument by a couple of idiots is somehow substantive? Seriously? First of all, there's plenty of evidence, set forth by Mueller in his report, of collusion. But as he said in the report himself, he wasn't investigating collusion, he was investigating criminal conspiracy. And he couldn't "establish" criminal conspiracy--interesting wording in the context of a report that weaves a web of a campaign in contact with Russia at varying points and with knowledge that Russia's interference in the election would actually help Trump win. And that leaves aside the entirety of the evidence laid out in the report of obstruction of justice, which is readily apparent. Along with all the other ongoing investigations. But yeah... send me another twitter argument of 2 nobodies saying "look at the collusion!" / "only a conspiracy theorist could call this collusion"... might be slightly more substantive than a gif, but not much.

One of them is a pretty darn good (and left leaning) reporter whose broken story after story on this subject. Unlike most of his peers, he got (most of) it right from the start. 39 minutes ago, transplantbillsfan said: First of all, there's plenty of evidence, set forth by Mueller in his report, of collusion.

And he couldn't "establish" criminal conspiracy--interesting wording in the context of a report that weaves a web of a campaign in contact with Russia at varying points and with knowledge that Russia's interference in the election would actually help Trump win. He's a prosecutor. Saying he could not "establish" a criminal-conspiracy while running an investigation explicitly into said criminal-conspiracy is saying it did not happen, it's not him playing word games. It's very specific language used in a legal context by a highly competent federal prosecutor. That's always been the charge from the start: he was a traitor who conspired with Russia to steal an election. More than a charge, that's what many in the media told us happened while citing anonymous sources and methods. That started election night and carried over for three years. It was always a lie. Mueller's own report confirms this was untrue. Barr today confirmed it in his testimony, Trump was falsely accused of crimes he did not commit. Put your partisanship down for a moment (if you can), put your opinion of Trump down for a moment (if you can) and really think through what that means and implies. The person who won an election, legally, was accused of being a traitor (a capitol offense) by the heads of the intelligence community with an assist from almost every MSM outlet/paper without any evidence to support such an accusation. This was done not because those intel officials were trying to protect the country from a foreign threat, but because they disagreed with who the American voters legally chose to be president. If they can do that to Trump, a person you clearly do not like and you let them -- what's to stop the same thing from being done to a president you do like? You've been lied to. Overtly. By members of the media who pushed lie after lie because they think you're too stupid to think for yourself. They've all been exposed as liars now. Mueller's words do that -- the only question is will you continue to listen to proven liars and deceivers because it suits your partisanship? 49 minutes ago, transplantbillsfan said: And that leaves aside the entirety of the evidence laid out in the report of obstruction of justice, which is readily apparent. Obstruction is purely political now. The DOJ ruled on it, it's settled. As is conspiracy/collusion. The political optics of trying to impeach on the grounds of obstructing a crime he was falsely accused of doing is going to be a tough sell for a lot of Americans. They're welcome to it, but it's not going to go the way the DNC wants if they really pursue it. 50 minutes ago, transplantbillsfan said: Along with all the other ongoing investigations.

You, sir, are either lying or too stupid to research the truth for yourself. The report and that passage itself establishes Mueller didn't find criminal conspiracy. It says nothing about collusion. That report is such an indictment on Trump that if this were a few decades ago, we'd have begun the impeachment process already. But this is the whole point, isn't it? Trump and Faux News have brilliantly twisted the narrative around over the last couple years or so. So much so that no one really knows their position on anything. Trump really has one news station that spins a yarn so often of an alternative universe along with a bunch of feeble minded Republican Senators for being able to serve out the full 4 years he'll get. Doesn't matter to me though. So many atrocious precedents have been set by Republicans over the last 8 years... none of this is surprising.

Oh for *****'s sake. "Collusion" isn't a legal thing, there is only conspiracy. Read the report, he explicitly explains this right above the quoted portions. As for the rest of the report being an "indictment", legally dubious novel prosecution theories are not anything. I suggest that you actually try reading. 10 hours ago, Taro T said: Should any of the "least scandalous administration everTM" members start to get indicted, will you look at the evidence before shouting "witch hunt" or just go there directly? Good little liberal NPCs will want to wait for all of the "facts" to come out and be spun by the media before dismissing any Democrat wrongdoing out of hand.
