I'd like to see all pertinent evidence brought forth, for both the prosecution and the defense, including the OIG testimony and witnesses. As you say, this is tearing the country apart and it needs to be resolved one way or another so we can mend these wounds. But that mending can only happen if both sides are open to both possibilities. When the Democrats make mental gymnastics to beat around the bush a lot of people here cry foul, but when the Republicans do it the same folks jump through the same mental hoops lock, stock, and barrel. Let them make their cases with all the evidence at their disposal, both prosecution and defense. Neither side should make political moves to prevent information from being brought forth and yet both sides are doing it. But when I try to point out those mental gymnastics I just get called an idiot lol. Oh, now I am reading this post. Maybe there should be more witnesses, maybe not. You’re forgetting that this isn’t a real, judicial trial. This is a political proceeding and if the politicians on either side push too far then the voters will speak. That goes for Dems overplaying their “case”, and for Republicans being “too” obstructionist. That goes also for the President. 3

RochesterRob Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, Deranged Rhino said: Yup. Comey "cost Hillary the election" with his press conference about NOT charging her for the email scandal. That's the line the left uses. The reality is, of course, Comey's not on the right or the left. He's establishment to his core, and the establishment plays both sides against the middle. At the time of that press conference the FBI, CIA, DOJ, and White House were actively working to assure that HRC was going to be elected the next president. Comey knew that she would win, he was promised as such. So what could a press conference hurt, he figured. Maybe he could get some cred for his own reputation by holding the press conference (where he let her skate from serious legal peril) and that would be the end of it. He never expected she would lose. And when she did, Comey and all the rats became vulnerable to exposure for the crimes they'd been committing. I think that Comey's press conference was engineered by those above him to put some polish on a campaign (Hillary's) that had a fair amount of tarnish on it. Simply, through gullibility or arrogance those individuals considered the Clinton poll numbers as irrefutable. That allaying independents' concerns about corruption would give Clinton even greater numbers and be taken as a mandate to influence other races and ultimately Clinton's agenda had she succeeded. The darn auto correct is getting hypersensitive anymore. Edited January 25, 2020 by RochesterRob 2

I agree. They thought it was a certainty that she would win, but still had to find a way to not only give some polish to the campaign -- but also head off any potential House investigations into President Clinton's email scandal. So Comey is trotted out to read off all the reasons why she should have been prosecuted (so he can look impartial) only to ultimately let her skate. It was supposed to be a win for Comey (he's impartial!) who was angling to remain her FBI chief, and a win for Clinton (no more email scandal investigations). Plus, they knew they were about to hit the Trump campaign and media with the "Russia and Trump are conspiring together" narrative. They had been building it up for a month and a half prior to Comey's July press conference -- and knew they had more coming. The campaign and Comey figured whatever negative media hit they'd take for Comey "going rogue" would be memory-holed by the public once the Russia story started hitting the bloodstream. 3 3
Buffalo_Gal Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 1. I would like to thank you all for sharing recaps, opinions, and clips. We are on vacation and missing all this. 2. While reading TBD on my phone I am not signed. That means I get to see all the "contributors" I have blocked. And, seeing their contributing gems, that just reconfirms why I blocked them in the first place. Oy. Also, is there an APB out on Tibs? Does he just have the day off, or has that sweet-Soros cash run out? 3. WTF would anyone who is against the MSM and Democrats (BIRM) want President Trump to stop tweeting? If you have not figured out four years in that what he tweets (yes, even the insults) have a reason for being tweeted, well, I cannot help you. 4. Sounds like Schiffy finally had his perfidy exposed in the Congressional record. Good. The man is the worst kind of political slime (and as someone with Chuckie as my state's Senator, I can easily spot political slime). That some are still taking what he says as fact is simply incredible to me. 10 2
njbuff Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 It's amazing how the Biden's commit the crime and MSM and the deranged left want Trump to do the time. But I ask the experts......................... What the Biden's did...... is it a crime?
Nanker Posted January 26, 2020 Author Posted January 26, 2020 Are kickbacks a crime? Are scams to funnel US treasury monies back to politically connected companies/donors/relatives through a foreign aid payment a crime? I'm not quite sure... but I know so. It's what the Deep State does. It's how they percolate their wealth - through state-funded grants/aid to other countries with a "refund" back to the favorite charity/family member on a no-work "job", or any other scheme they can concoct. 1 2
