    We've heard target rich forever now. But like Page nothing is going to happen and the collusion advocates will look silly.

    Now back to actually helping people's lives improve

    What might Torshin have done in order to get a meeting with the President?

    There could be a million reasons. Some suspicious and some innocuous. To assume either is absurd.

    I think you've done your fair share of assuming

    No, specifically. Foreign nationals don't generally get face time with the President just because they want it. No idea what business was ostensibly supposed to be done...just wondering how he got the meeting.

    The president meets with all different types of people from all different walks of life. To assume this is suspicious is just showing you want it to be something

    Of course, we want it to be something because we have a woefully inept President who is racist, narassistic and generally don't know his a-- from a hole in the ground and it makes him dangerous.

    The President, any President, doesn't meet with anyone willy-nilly. Everything is controlled, scheduled, and vetted to a fare-the-well...at least, its supposed to be. Given what we've learned about how some meetings have come about, it's a fair question to ask about how this one was arranged.

    In the end, it is not about who the spies are. It is about why they were spying. In our democratic republic, there is an important norm against an incumbent administration’s use of government’s enormous intelligence-gathering capabilities to — if we may borrow a phrase — interfere in an election. To justify disregarding that norm would require strong evidence of egregious wrongdoing. Enough bobbing and weaving, and enough dueling tweets. Let’s see the evidence.

    Is this going to end up being setting up another back channel to put in well after the campaign when collusion was alleged? I'm fine with looking at everything but we are well past the point of anything with Russia is now is over scrutinized. How do you expect to have any relations with a country when this is the reaction?

    I don't know how one could write an invocation of the breaking of "important norms" in defense of Donald Trump without one's head exploding from the raw, uncut cognitive dissonance.

    Going to be real juicy when those FISA warrants are made available to see what Halper told the FBI. If they continued this sham of an investigation on faulty information just as they opened it on faulty information say goodbye to the mueller probe.

    Thankfully we are breaking from the stupid norms of politics correctness based on the results of this administration this far.

    But to conflate that with spying on Americans with no support, so far produced, is well a bad thing.

    Who’s going to give back the young and beautiful lives (and others)

    that have been devastated and destroyed by

    the phony Russia Collusion Witch Hunt?

    They journeyed down to Washington, D.C.,

    with stars in their eyes and wanting to help our nation...

    They went back home in tatters!


    funny, never quoted Obama saying this either
