If this is supposed to be a “gotcha” question, you are being incredibly naive. A simple Google search produces numerous examples of criminal-worthy behaviors.
Seriously, one has to wonder how people like you can continue to ignore the report’s findings. I guess Trump was right in assuming if his toadie AG issued a ‘summary’ prior to the reports release proclaiming “no harm, no foul,” his mindless minions would swallow it hook, line, and sinker.
Collusion isn’t even a legal ‘thing’ for crying out loud. It’s simply Trump’s nonsensical talking point. And the reality is that we’re so far beyond that sophomoric argument it’s crazy.
I realize Mueller's Report which is focusing on collusion with the Russians has not been released yet.
Good grief, the evidence of collusion with the Russians that already exists is staggering---and we haven't even gotten to Mueller's report for crying out loud.
Have you forgotten George Papadopoulos? He's the campaign rep who met with a Russian agent to obtain dirt on Hillary Clinton and then lied about it to the FBI. No collusion there, right?
How about Michael "Lock her up" Flynn? He contacted the Russians and told them to not worry about US sanctions by Obama because he'd 'take care' of the problem once Trump took office. No collusion there right?
Since we've already learned Mueller has evidence that Manafort was giving Russian agents GOP campaign polling data for crying out loud, the "no collusion" crowd is standing on awfully shaky ground. My gut tells me that Mueller's final report is going to be about as ugly as it gets.
Spot on!Holy mommy fcking shiite. This is the best thread ever for so many reasons.
1. We've been force fed the idea that trump colluded with the Russians for 2 years, but now all of a sudden collusion isnt a crime.
2. The investigation was supposed to determine whether Russia interfered with our election (duh, they did) and only one candidates campaign was investigated in earnest to determine whether there was collusion, but now that we know they didn't it amazingly isnt a crime anyway.
3. Now we are supposed to accept the idea that Trump's people are guilty of obstruction of justice in an investigation into something that isnt a crime.
Jesus almighty, this is just the best.
If you'd "read/watched people" who know the impeachment process the same way you did people who read the full Mueller Report, you'd know that the process begins with the House Judiciary Committee voting in favor of an 'inquiry of impeachment' that would be presented to the full House.
Well how about that Shooksterhttps://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/30/nancy-pelosi-impeachment-2020-1295265
Pelosi holds firm as some fear impeachment window closing
Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team are nowhere close to launching impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump — with the chances diminishing as the 2020 election moves ever closer.
Democratic lawmakers and senior aides say Pelosi and her deputies are unmoved despite a groundswell of impeachment talk among rank-and-file members who are infuriated by Trump’s stonewalling of congressional investigations.
Step 1. Stay up on current events.Christ, I've got to explain how impeachment works for some of you nitwits? Really???
First steps: Mueller provides Congress with the results of his investigation. The House Judiciary Committee reviews it and calls hearings to get more background information regarding the evidence of wrong-doing provided. Given all the crap Mueller detailed, this will likely take many months, if not a year or more.
Eventually, the Committee will vote on whether or not to move it to the full House. The President will remain innocent until proven guilty if/when 1) the House votes for impeachment and 2) the Senate finds him guilty.
Yes you can.You can’t really be guilty of obstructing justice when there was no collusion
LOL What an awesome defense!!!and nobody did what he asked.
Nobody said it’s going to be a defense. It’s just going to make it even harder to convict him of anything or impeachment which isn’t happeningLOL What an awesome defense!!!![]()
This is actually your lone wolf TDS delusional takeYes you can.
While there were numerous interactions between Russian agents and Team Trump, Mueller determined there was not enough evidence to prove there was a coordinated conspiracy between the two. But lying and attempting to prevent authorities from uncovering the truth is most definitely a crime.
One would think that the mere knowledge that Team Trump was meeting with Russian agents during the campaign and lying about it would be enough to appall and disgust most Americans. But not Ucfmikes who apparently considers Russia and their leader, Vladimir Putin, our friend.![]()
How about "nooooo collusion"??? Is it a defense? Do we not care that Team Trump consistently lied about their interactions with Russian agents and behind-the-scenes Russian business dealings from the get-go?Nobody said it’s going to be a defense. It’s just going to make it even harder to convict him of anything or impeachment which isn’t happening
You're joking, right? The majority of Americans know he's a serial liar. But some, like you, will vote for him again anyway.You’re trying to now deflect (as usual) to what “most Americans” think.
Are you fu*king serious??!!?!?Where was he lying?
That’s your TDS biased take. Majority?? Where’s that poll? You’re just spewing a bunch of BSYou're joking, right? The majority of Americans know he's a serial liar. But some, like you, will vote for him again anyway.
You’re having a complete meltdownAre you fu*king serious??!!?!?
You mean when he helped Don Jr. craft his original lie about the reasons behind Junior's meeting with the Russian Agent?
You mean his Team's lying about their Russian interactions that led to a number of them getting convicted of lying to the FBI and/or Congress?
You mean Trump's lying about having no business dealings with Russia while he was engaged with them in efforts to build a Russian Trump Tower?
You mean his lying about asking McGahn to fire Mueller?
You mean his lying about asking Comey to take it easy on his buddy, Michael Flynn?
Christ, these are just off the top of my head. Imagine what I could find if I looked it up.
FIFY. You bet I will. I’ll certainly try to convince many others as well. I’ll happily attend the rallies as wellBut many many, like you, will vote for him again anyway.
We are not at war or even a Cold War with Russia
I may not normally agree with them, but I respect conservative posters like fab and Crazyhole who aren’t afraid to call BS when somebody of their own political persuasion runs off the rails and starts spouting a bunch of silly nonsense.The Russians are absolutely our enemy. They actively try to subvert the US and our interests at every chance they get.

Are we to believe it’s ‘just a coincidence’ that we and Russia are on the opposite sides when it comes to the conflict in Venezuela? Syria? Or our stance on Cuba?
Is it okay that Russian agents cyber-attacked our elections? Or used a deadly poison on former agents in England? Or invaded Crimea? What about the Ukraine?
These aren’t the Cold War days anymore. But to believe Russia is nothing more than a friendly rival with Putin running the show is naive at best.
The Russians are absolutely our enemy. They actively try to subvert the US and our interests at every chance they get.
Putin was the head of the KGB during much of the Cold War. He remembers the glory days of Russia and if you think he wouldn't love to see the US reduced to nothing, you've got another thing coming.
You're obviously a young guy. Shookster, like me, grew up during the Cold War. One thing we learned, NEVER trust the Russians, EVER. EVER.
The ‘Modern Political Thought is Lazy’ thread is about this very issue. I give an example there of ‘taking a position that differs from my team.’ Truth is, your team used to be my team.Here's the thing Shookster - you can't say things like your first sentence when YOU are utterly incapable of taking up a position that differs from your team, admit when you're ass backwards wrong, or generally give an inch on anything.

i watched parts of him talking with feinstein. it was quite sad she doesnt know basic facts about the investigation when she literally has the report in front of her.If you'd "read/watched people" who know the impeachment process the same way you did people who read the full Mueller Report, you'd know that the process begins with the House Judiciary Committee voting in favor of an 'inquiry of impeachment' that would be presented to the full House.
As part of their own 'fact finding,' the House Judiciary questioned AG Barr earlier today.
FIFY. You bet I will. I’ll certainly try to convince many others as well. I’ll happily attend the rallies as well
And get this. I don’t own a red hat
i think they are going out of their way to now say its not a crime in case trump decides he wants to launch his own investigation against the hillary campaign.Holy mommy fcking shiite. This is the best thread ever for so many reasons.

It’s not just Hillary. Many of the Democratic candidates have issues with Russia, China, Ukraine, etc. Especially candidates that cozied up to the Green agenda. Russia has funneled 10s of millions of dollars into green groups targeted at attacking the US energy industry; a good deal of this money ended up in campaign donations and lobbies. We won’t even get started on the socialist candidates.i think they are going out of their way to now say its not a crime in case trump decides he wants to launch his own investigation against the hillary campaign.

Pelosi: Barr committed a crime by lying to Congress
‘Nobody is above the law. Not the president of the United States, and not the attorney general.’
those are some big words right there.
This really has nothing to do with Trump anymore, the Dems are scared to death of the investigation into what started the Mueller report.https://www.politico.com/story/2019/05/02/nancy-pelosi-william-barr-lied-to-congress-1298314

Lol, sure there will be. The only people that actually need to be held accountable are those that were in the FBI and the justice dept who asked for a FISA warrant on Trump based on what they knew to be bogus claims. Nobody from the Hillary or trump campaigns did anything that amounts to a crime in regards to collusion for the sake of influencing the election. To that end, how ridiculous is it that an investigation into a noncrime can lead to people going to prison for perjury. I'm glad Manafort got caught because of this and I hope Biden suffers the same fate, but the means that were used to get there are sketchy.This really has nothing to do with Trump anymore, the Dems are scared to death of the investigation into what stated the Mueller report.
There will be several very high profile people going to jail.
Yeah, what's the big deal about lying? Trump does it daily. Just because Trump and his team lied to the FBI, to Congress, and to Mueller's team regarding a criminal investigation shouldn't be THAT big of a deal, right guys?how ridiculous is it that an investigation into a noncrime can lead to people going to prison for perjury.
Investigating criminals =/= spying
Spying is spying. Whether it is a valid and/or legal action or not depends upon whether a valid legal predicate was established prior to the spying. In the case of the taps, they’d need a warrant. In the case of the undercover operation, they’d probably need some predicate reasonable suspicion. It’s a big deal when it has to do with a presidential candidate.Investigating criminals =/= spying
hope this helps.
