McCain just did an op-ed in the Post saying that congress should return to business and be an independent branch of government again. He wants Trump to come at him.

I disagree with your false equivalency, but I’ll let that slide because I have a better argument.

Who cares? Its still bullshit. The existence of a centrist candidate for president does not make this less bullshit. If that is the only argument you have, go get a better one.

It's definitely bullshit. Maybe my questions should have been: what would it take to bring criminal charges forward? Eric Holder didn't do it afaik.

Erik Holder was part of the justice department, not congress. Congress needs to set aside funding for FBI to investigate these crimes. The Justice department can’t magically make more money for agents to do this and all the FBI efforts are focused on terrorism. There is no one to gather to evidence to prosecute and its been like that since 9/11. And it won’t change until the public demands it.

More of this handlaying on Trump prayer stuff. They manage to make a video about praying for Harvey victims include this cleric dude saying things like

'Father I thank you that we have a president, president Donald Trump who believes in the power of prayer'
'We thank you that the president has the wisdom to call our nation right now for a day of prayer Father, this is what we need'

'We also want to pray for spiritual healing, emotional healing for this country. This country has been bitterly divided for decades upon decades, and now You have given us a gift: President Donald Trump'
while they lay their hands on him. Like what am I watching?

Give them another year and he'll be the second coming of Christ at this rate. I thought the god-emperor stuff was supposed to be memes.

I think it'd be interesting to see how many other presidents have put out statements where people say the president is a gift from God.

By "raising questions" you mean "uncovered evidence Comey decided months in advance to exonerate Clinton // granted immunity after having decided not to charge anyone"




Grassley's document
"It's unclear whether the FBI agents actually investigating the case were aware that Mr. Comey had already decided on the investigation's outcome"
"It appears that the following key FBI interviews had not yet occured when Mr. Comey began drafting his exoneration statement"
"The agreements provided that the Department would destroy any records which it retrieved ... and would destroy the laptops"
And what appears to be no charges, free immunity, and evidence destruction. There's some nasty business here needing investigation ... Grassley/Graham are giving the FBI until September 13th to turn over additional documents.

Go wild. Take Comey and Clinton down. (It may be the only way to avoid 2020 run).

I am not surprised that you condone the deflection of the Russia investigation to but her emails.
Fits your style.

That doesn't diminish the imperative to follow up this possible evidence. Using it as a cover to divert or discredit other investigations is still not acceptable.

E: apologies I've must have misread.

This is some sad distraction play by Grassley. Nothing in the interviews changed the conclusion that the evidence from the server itself told: zero evidence of crime. Nothing alleged by Grassley here changes the fact that the servers didn't show HRC sending emails marked with a (C). Yes, she received three that had a (C) deep in the email thread, but she wasn't the one sending them and that isn't nearly enough for a prosecution.

EDIT: isn't it entirely plausible that the investigation into the hard evidence and early phone calls was enough to exonerate here? The emails themselves flatly showed no crime. The interviews didn't add anything.

EDIT2: damn this Grassley spin is going down fast.

We all knew that Pence knew everything and rolls out there to give his smooth preacher lies as cover. But there are lines in the new NYT/WAPO pieces that suggest that the DAG knew about the real Trump-Miller-Comey memo prior to the DAG writing his BS cover memo. This isn't confirmed yet, but it would be a real fireball that would blow up Rosenstein. Not sure how I feel about that.

It seems conceivable that Comey and his team would see the way the investigation was heading and prepare a possible statement if it continued that way. Doesn't necessarily mean they were definitely going to exonerate. Keep in mind Comey didn't even tell the DOJ he was going to do his press conference on Clinton - because he didn't trust them. It doesn't seem plausible that Comey is corrupt.

As an interesting sidenote, this would also mean that Pence flatout and blatantly lied. Not accidentally, but purposely, when he said that Comey was fired because of Rosensteins "suggestion".
