All part of the effort by Trump, the DOJ, whose leadership is now under the control of Trump, i.e., AG Barr, and, without a doubt, IMO, the DOJ Inspector General, when he issues his report in a month or two, to rewrite history to their advantage. It may work temporarily, but the truth will out, and History will judge accordingly...

The decision to use Ms. Turk in the operation aimed at a presidential campaign official shows the level of alarm inside the F.B.I. during a frantic period when the bureau was trying to determine the scope of Russia’s attempts to disrupt the 2016 election, but could also give ammunition to Mr. Trump and his allies for their spying claims....

....The London operation yielded no fruitful information, but F.B.I. officials have called the bureau’s activities in the months before the election both legal and carefully considered under extraordinary circumstances. They are now under scrutiny as part of an investigation by Michael E. Horowitz, the Justice Department inspector general. He could make the results public in May or June, Attorney General William P. Barr has said. Some of the findings are likely to be classified.

That's some serious spin Red. The FBI was so concerned they had to spy... Bull crap

If you know that it's absolutely yes then why continue with all this incoherent babbling attempt to counter something simple?

Trump's stimulus stimulated the economy. Moon at conspiracy theorist says otherwise.

New York Times Admits Obama Admin Deployed Multiple Spies Against Trump Campaign In 2016

"The New York Times admitted on Thursday that the Obama administration deployed multiple spies against the Trump campaign in 2016, confirming recent comments by Attorney General William Barr that 'spying did occur' during the campaign."

The New York Times doesn't "admit" things...

** However, there wasn't enough of a direct connection to the Trump campaign team to warrant additional criminal indictments for 'collusion with a foreign enemy.' (Russia isn't really our enemy btw, but that's a separate topic.)

Collusion is not a crime to begin with. There was collusion. There was not enough to warrant a charge for conspiracy, thinks in part to the ignorance of some members of Trump's team regarding the law and the incompetence of Cohen.

Russia sees us as an enemy.

** Upon reviewing these incidents, Wm. Barr and Rod Rosenstein did not find that this interference with the investigation met the standard for obstruction under federal statutes, notwithstanding the fact that the person in question is a sitting President (who cannot be indicted in the first place). Barr released these conclusions and eventually released the Mueller Report in full.

The Mueller report has been released with redactions, not in full.

They admitted what we already knew before the election in 2016? Where have you been? Of course, the part about "against the Trump campaign" is false, unless you are saying the Trump campaign was aligned with the Russians who were the targets of the probe. Is that what you meant to say?

Ukrainian embassy confirms DNC contractor solicited Trump dirt in 2016


https://thehill.com/opinion/white-h...s-dnc-contractor-solicited-trump-dirt-in-2016
Click to expand...

Is that the same John Solomon who claimed that the DNC organized Seth Rich’s murder? Is that the same John Solomon who claimed that Uranium One was organized by Clinton to help Russia? Anytime you want to assure credibility, one should always begin with a Hannityism that he stole from a caller last Friday:

The boomerang from the Democratic Party's failed attempt to connect Donald Trump to Russia's 2016 election meddling is picking up speed, and its flight path crosses right through Moscow's pesky neighbor, Ukraine. That is where there is growing evidence a foreign power was asked, and in some cases tried, to help Hillary Clinton.
Click to expand...

But what John ultimately hopes for, is that the morons continue to tweet and retweet this story and that normal human beings merely read the headline instead of the actual story.

In written answers to questions, Ambassador Valeriy Chaly's office says DNC contractor Alexandra Chalupa sought information from the Ukrainian government on Paul Manafort's dealings inside the country, in hopes of forcing the issue before Congress.
Click to expand...

I for one would like to know more about Manafort’s sleazy dealings in Ukraine. Just how compromised is that guy? Why did he promise to work for free for the trump campaign? Seems like congress is one of many avenues to discuss these vital national security issues.

Somehow equating this to Trump toadies dangling sanction relief (repeal of the Magnitsky Act) in exchange for stolen DNC emails to some DNC staffer asking for the Ukrainian embassy to clarify Manafort’s dealings with sleazy Ukrainian politicians is ridiculous.

* Right now it’s important to remind everyone that Manafort worked a sleazy campaign to elect a Putin backed Russian Presidential candidate. When this candidate ran away to Russia, Russia invaded Ukraine. Later, allegedly greatly in debt to Russian oligarchs, Manafort came back to the USA and offered to work for the Trump campaign for free. Shortly after joining the trump campaign, he helped change the GOP’s platform on sanctions against Russia and overturned support for Ukraine at the GOP convention.

Why?

It couldn’t be because trump was still trying to get a trump tower Moscow, could it? It couldn’t be that his campaign chair was neck deep in debt to Russian oligarchs and was trying to gain their support by softening our stance against them, could it? It couldn’t be that the trump campaign had been trying to work with Russians to release stolen data, could it?

“If it’s what you say it is, I love it!” -Trump jr

https://www.npr.org/2017/12/04/5683...d-change-to-party-platform-on-ukraine-support

Facts matter. The desperate attempts by Trumpanzees to whataboutism Trump’s sleazy dealings away just show how little they care about law and justice and how much they care about just clinging to power. Cuz judges and tax cuts and owninthelibs...

You're falling for their deep state narrative bs. You're letting them pull the wool right over your eyes. Confirmation bias will suck ya right in. The AG, an office that should be completely independent of the White House, is right in Trump's pocket now. In Barr's case, he's well known for believing the power of the executive branch should be expanded. I suspect he thinks he's protecting the office, more then Trump the man, but if that requires acting as if he were the Attorney General of Donald Trump, and no longer the Attorney General of the United States, he won't hesitate. And he hadn't hestitated. He's already lied to Congress, which, as Pelosi pointed out Thursday, is a crime. Perjury.

I'm certain the IG will be no less in Trump's pocket. His report will support this deep state narrative. Trump has taken the stance that the Constitutional given right of the Legislative branch to exercise oversight over the Executive branch will no longer apply in his case. These people, beginning with Trump, are debasing our democracy, and damaging our institutions like no other administration in our history. It's a tightly woven tale his base will embrace, and thus remained divorced from reality. And allow Trump to stand outside and above the law. Some day you may wake up and say how the hell did I let myself be buffaloed by all this. Right now, you're falling for it wholesale. It's a shame.

It's possible had the Mueller probe never happened, this effort to put himself above the law might never have happened. But the more threatened Trump felt, the more it was bound to happen. There's a reason this man admires strong man dictators, and a reason he has zero respect for our Constitution. He's counting on guys like you to fall for all this and allow him to debase our democracy beyond recognition. And I expect him to do whatever it takes to make sure he does not lose in 2020. We ain't seen nothin yet. If a healthy functioning government depends on an electorate educated in how to recognize all this, then we are in trouble.
 
I have no idea how it came to be, but from the day he descended the escalator in Trump Tower to announce his candidacy, I have seen this day coming. All I want to see is the blinders fall from the eyes of those who have been lulled into a state that does not allow them to see clearly. I thank God I am not in that position, but it brings little solace. The mental and emotional anguish of seeing so many fellow Americans with blinders on, and unable to learn the lessons of history, the certain knowledge that it can truly be this easy for a cynical demagogue to pull all this off, beats a man down. It really, really beats a man down.

Good post I’d like to add something. Look at the religious aspect.

Trump isn’t just a cynical demagogue, but a disgusting, loud, obnoxious, and (stupid) one. For as much as American “Christians” like to wear their religion on their sleeves, (Mormons included), they fell head over heels for someone who’s The antithesis of their religion. You'd think religion would act as a guardrail against this type of leader, instead, it acts as his own springboard. Trump is so weak, crude, immoral, and disgusting that he makes Herod or King Noah (Mormons will get this reference) blush.

Yet, white evangelicals are the ones empowering this disgusting man.

Why is Bob Mueller talking with house democrats right now? Although arguably not outright lying, the Attorney General misrepresented the reports findings Bob Mueller produced, and continues to do so.

Saying tax cuts stimulated the economy is very similar. By traditional measures, "the economy" is doing well. Also traditionally, the middle class continues to lose ground, wealth inequality grows, we bring in less in taxes while spending more, we borrow trillions from China, and we're one of the only first world nations that can't find the time to work in national health care.

So by all means, continue to fap to the 'healthy' 'economy' that donnie 'stimulated'. I really don't mind playing the cautious conservative for you.

There's an aspect of militant American Christianity, that reminds me of just being a counterpoint to militant Islamists. (Reflected in part by Bannon's belief we should be engaged in a fight for the survival of Western civilization itself). At least we are not yet engaged in some specie of actual Christian "jihad". In Trump's case, you've got a brand of aggrieved isolationism, "the world has been taking advantage of us", reflected in both withdrawal from or denigration of old alliances, and at the same time an open belligerence toward traditional friends and allies.

This style of flag hugging nationalism is dangerous. A promise by Trump not to continue in a cycle of endless wars, yet, if elected to a second term, I would fully expect a war against Iran. I believe both Bolton and Pompeo feel this is inevitable, and will continue to act to undermine Iranian leaders. Having the far right in control in Israel at this time does not help, IMHO. But, in general, nowhere in the world has Christianity developed a militant component more pronounced, and IMO, dangerous, then in the form we might call Americanism. It's nuts, a derangement of sorts, plain and simple.
