Analysts are saying the idea of a counter report is bologna assuming the initial report is generally factual. The typical response to a damning factual report is not a counter report, despite bluffs that a counter report is coming. The bluff implies legitimacy where there isn't any. | ||

Trump says the counter report is 87 pages ATM. Even tho that is certainly a lie, the idea of Guliani, a person I'm certain has at least early onset dementia, authoring a report dozens of pages long is fascinating. The amount of lies, red herrings, and strawmen that will be in it will be epic. I could even see it becoming a standard document to review in law school legal writing courses on what not to do. Tho I may be disappointed if Trump's other, slightly more competent, attorneys edit it significantly. | ||

Yeah I expect the intent of the counter report to mainly be social engineering rather than legal strategy. | ||

What happened to the right-wingers like uh... Danglars and those other guys (I'm drawing a blank on names)? I haven't seen any of their ridiculousness lately. | ||

To clarify this further, some of them got thread banned after several chances and others just moved on. And a lot of the center left and left leaning posters became less tolerant of argument they felt were in bad faith. | ||

To be fair its pretty shitty to be a right leaning poster trying to argue in good faith at the moment. | ||

There are some really good quotes in there, but the "tries to do illegal things" pretty much sums up everyone's job in the West Wing. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/12/07/rex-tillerson-trump-undisciplined-doesnt-like-read-tries-do-illegal-things/?utm_term=.bb25e8e2d05a My favorite part is that it likely makes sense to be as vague as "illegal things" since it was likely a wide array of things. "So what if we declared war on illegal immigrants" "Mm...can't really do that" "Well what if we had attack jets use missiles on the areas in Mexico before they get here" "Definitely not" "You are so useless" | ||
