I've never seen such a phenomenon before. 2 hours ago, 49er Fan said: Oh really? What a laughable statement. How was the country “torn apart” exactly? The Mueller investigation certainly proved a few things - that Russia did interfere in the 2016 election, that the Trump campaign welcomed that interference, and that Trump was willing to obstruct justice in the matter on no less than ten occasions to protect his MAGA brand. Those are facts, and just because Mueller couldn’t prove collusion doesn’t mean it didn’t happen (and I am not suggesting that it did). But when you have scumbags like Roger Stone using Wikileaks to disseminate DNC and Clinton’s personal emails, and Paul Manafort and Rudy Giuliani consorting with Russian intelligence agents, it certainly doesn’t look good. And before you bring up the Steele dossier, that was Republican opposition research on Trump started by his Republican rivals. The Clinton campaign picked it up once Trump’s rivals were gone. It wasn’t leaked by anyone involved in Clinton’s campaign, and the Republicans in Congress used their subpoena power to try to bankrupt the company that funded it, GPS Fusion. The Durham report was one of the biggest failures in the history of Federal law enforcement. It amounted to one plea deal over an e-mail address on a FISA application (no jail time - probation) and two acquittals. The people who were convicted under Trump? Oh, he pardoned them. Wait, you're saying the country wasn't torn apart during Trump's Presidency? Or just not by Dems? I hate to break it to you but Russia's been interfering with our elections for decades. That's nothing new and the US does it to other countries as well. Obama knew it was happening but did nothing. You know why? Because he saw what they were doing was a joke and every analysis of their efforts failed to show them changing a single person's mind/vote. Meanwhile Comey is the one probably most responsible for Hilly losing with his last-minute announcement about re-opening the investigation into her deleting 30K emails off her private server. What did Trump do as a reward to repay Putin, if he colluded with Russia? "Almost destroy NATO"...by demanding the other countries pay their fair share and make it stronger overall? Is that Trump hotel in Moscow being built yet? And the bolded part is interesting but what I have suspected all along: you are willing to believe something despite it being unproven, based on how it "look[s]," but when the other side does it (Biden being corrupt) it's "prove it!" As for the Steele dossier, true it was originally commissioned by a Repub. But it was DOA until Steele took it over and used Russian disinformation (like the "pee tape" laugher) and tried to pass it off as if it were the truth. Edited August 9, 2023 by Doc 1

If the court determines that his “free speech” constitutes witness intimidation, or if he violates any of the other orders that he agreed to during his arraignment, then he can be punished by the judge by being held in contempt. Different ball game now that he’s an ordinary citizen. He is not going to be afforded any extra protections just because he is “running.”

He wrote in the memo: I recognize that what I suggest is a bold, controversial strategy, and that there are many reasons why it might not end up being executed on Jan. 6. But as long as it is one possible option, to preserve it as a possibility it is important that the Trump-Pence electors cast their electoral votes on Dec. 14. The document, described by prosecutors as the “fraudulent elector memo”, provides new details about how the plan originated and was discussed behind the scenes. The memo show the plan was a criminal plot to engineer “a fake controversy that would derail the proper certification of Biden as president-elect”, prosecutors said.
