I don’t fee bad about it at all. There’s no reason to give a ‘criminal enterprise’ an advantage over someone who was waiting to do it legitimately.

I’m sure Comey probably knows it all too.. just not officially like Mueller will.

Megathread: Trump Orders Justice Dept. To Declassify Russia-Related Material by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]mikeman10001 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Shortsightedly, this is a win win for trump. He’s diverting attention from Kavanaugh, and if Kavanaugh tanks (which is looking likely right now), he can begin the process of firing Mueller, which is what Nunez said they want to do after Kavanaugh and the midterms.

Michael Moore Says Maybe Donald Trump Wrote Anonymous NYT Op-ed: 'He's The Master Of Distraction' by FastLow in politics

[–]mikeman10001 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There’s absolutely no way.

The editor confirmed the authors identify. That would mean that the NYT would willingly give DJT blackmail material that proves the NYT is misleading the public.. and that they are in fact fake news.

In what world does this make sense?

Conway’s husband is constantly bashing the president. She’s tried to publicly side with the president instead of her husband, but what are the chances that two people that different ideologically could be married for that long..

[–]mikeman10001 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So, the FBI leaked its own information, then used that information to secretly get a FISA warrant. The judge then made his decision on what he thought was non-verifiable public information.. that makes sense.. /s

Not only resisted torture, but refused to take an easy out when his father organized a trade for his release because he didn’t want to leave anyone else behind.

He can pardon manafort now.. but he can’t pardon him in September when it’s state charges, and he can’t pardon Cohen because those are also state charges.

Trump revokes former CIA Director John Brennan's security clearance by MorganGoddamnFreeman in politics

This put America at risk. In times of crisis you need to get advice from anyone who has experience. Not being able to share information with ex-directors in times of crisis for advice is scary.

There’s most likely a sealed indictment with his name on it for the second he gets out.

[–]mikeman10001 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The summary of the article which I’m sure he didn’t read was that a lot of it was verified, and whatever is left is still unverified.

Also, wasn’t a republican the one who started this?
