The Mueller report has uncovered many instances of obstruction of justice, it's not over yet.

@Johnsell50 - there's things I both agree & disagree with you on in your various Trump threads, I just want to ask - are there any things that Trump has done or announced he will do that you DON'T agree with?
Honestly curious, you put a lot of effort into defending the man, much the same way I would argue the benefits say of Winston Churchill versus a whole bunch of new-wave persecutors of his hideous crimes against humanity. But there are some things having read the excellent Martin Gilbert autobiography on him among numerous political WWI/WWII books that also had me tutting in my head. So I feel I have a balanced opinion of the man, and thus happy to criticise or endorse depending. So far I only saw you defend Trump to the hilt on everything, I'd like to know anything you actually dislike about him, or is he truly the Messiah and not just a naughty boy?

If you saw all my posts you would have seen I personally dislike him as a man. I do really like some of the things he has done as a president, and dislike some of the things because I think he has not gone far enough. I think sanctuary cities should be punished by pulling all federal funds. I think all immigration laws should be strictly enforced by all law enforcement. I think all trade shoud be fair trade, with all our import taxes to match all export taxes into any other country.

If it all wasn't so silly it would be sad. The Dem's are crying so much I need to buy stock in towels.

Johnsell50, it's obvious you haven't even read the report.
And the "witch-hunt" isn't over, many of those accused have been prosecuted or are due to be, some are in jail.

So, in short it was the Aussies and Brits that were spying on the Americans and interfered in the elections. (The Aussie role has been confirmed by the government)
The "dossier" was actually started by Glenn Simpson from Fusion GPS. He put out a load of fabricated dirt on Trump, which came in useful when he later fed to Steel, so that Steel could add the MI-6 "sparkle" to it, and hand it back.
Alexander Downer, having given the Clinton Money Laundering Machine (AKA The Clinton Foundation) $25m, fed the story to Team Hillary, who gave it to the FBI.
LOL! The Russians couldn’t even contact Trump, they had no connections to anyone in the campaign. Even Putin’s congratulatory message on election night got blown off to an email via assistants.

Yup. and Hilary's funds funneled through Fusion GPS paid for the dossier. That is part of the investigation the Dem's are worried about and Barr is talking abut, along with the conspiracy by the heads of the FBI and justice Dept. to stop Trump from becoming president and unseat him after he won.Hot_Pink_Urinal_Mint wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2019 4:55 pmSo, in short it was the Aussies and Brits that were spying on the Americans and interfered in the elections.

So, the advantage of a "counterintelligence investigation", unlike a criminal investigation, is that everything in it is "classified". This wouldn't have been a problem if Clinton had won, no one would have found out.What the Times story makes explicit, with studious understatement, is that the Obama administration used its counterintelligence powers to investigate the opposition party’s presidential campaign.
That is, there was no criminal predicate to justify an investigation of any Trump-campaign official. So, the FBI did not open a criminal investigation.
Instead, the bureau opened a counterintelligence investigation and hoped that evidence of crimes committed by Trump officials would emerge.
But it is an abuse of power to use counterintelligence powers, including spying and electronic surveillance, to conduct what is actually a criminal investigation.
The Times barely mentions the word counterintelligence in its saga. That’s not an accident.
The paper is crafting the media-Democrat narrative.
Here is how things are to be spun: The FBI was very public about the Clinton-emails investigation, even making disclosures about it on the eve of the election.
Yet it kept the Trump-Russia investigation tightly under wraps, despite intelligence showing that the Kremlin was sabotaging the election for Trump’s benefit. This effectively destroyed Clinton’s candidacy and handed the presidency to Trump.

This was clearly an intentional subversion of the electoral process conducted at the highest level and it's disturbing that so many people are more concerned about Trump.

If Trump wants to go raw dog with the star of Young and Anal 5 a month after his son is born, thats his buisness. Paying to cover up that info on the eve of an election is a different story. Why do you personally dislike him?Johnsell50 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2019 1:54 pm

Is that realy any worse than Clinton getting blow jobs in the White house or Kennedy laying Marylin Monroe in the same. Or is it any worse than many other world leaders... The world laughs at Americans for getting so bent out of shape at immorality. How about paying for a fake dossier, keeping an illegal server with secret material on it, then when you are investigated, scrubbing all your files with "Bleach Bit", having your staff smash your Blackberries with hammers, and lying through your teeth about all of it. That isn't all going away either like they wanted it to.Sonic1 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2019 7:48 pmIf Trump wants to go raw dog with the star of Young and Anal 5 a month after his son is born, thats his buisness.

I don't like his morals, or his attirude. But that doesn't make him a bad president. If it did, almost all of them would have been bad presidents.

Absolutely. And Barr is going after it. Nunuez is handing down criminal conspiracy , interfering with an election, abuse of power, and maybe treason suggestions very soon. Trump will be declassifying all the material on the FISA warrant very soon. It will be very interesting to see which of the participants tries for a plea deal first.Hot_Pink_Urinal_Mint wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2019 7:41 pmYou mean like this?Johnsell50 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 19, 2019 5:18 pmThat is part of the investigation the Dem's are worried about and Barr is talking abut, along with the conspiracy by the heads of the FBI and justice Dept. to stop Trump from becoming president and unseat him after he won.
