    At least we have now moved from Bo bias to anything is possible. Baby steps. You'll get to the truth soon enough.

    I was responding to your specific point about political donations, which you have repeated many times and I have answered many times. You said you believe that political donations should have been considered, when I had just written that, by DoJ definition, they are not considered a conflict of interest and cannot be considered.

    You misunderstand my point. I was referencing what you said 1621. To say anything is possible is one of those trite things devoid of meaning.
    "I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

    "I am your retribution."

    Well considering you guys have dismissed my points in this investigation every step of the way forgive me if I also felt like being cheeky with my response.

    I look forward to hear you guys walk back all your previous statements in the future.

    I actually admire how often you are right which confuses me how you can have such a blind spot for what is happening.

    That's the response in light of the recent information to come out?

    correctamundo...it is a tempest in a teapot...a distraction from the really big stories of the past year (which will likely lead to Trump not finishing his term of office and a good number of his appointees going to jail or receiving pardons)...but if I were in your shoes I'd be grabbing any available life raft

    a large majority of intelligent people who spend time around trump or listening to trump think he's a ****ing idiot. why would an FBI agent be any different? he's going to have personal views and will express them privately to friends. people in trump's cabinet think and say he's a moron privately. trump publicly insults people every day. this is straw grasping.

    Speaking for myself, I am often dismissive of your points because they are so often chicken-little hyperbole, and usually assume conclusions when there is barely enough ground to parse possibility.

    If you'd like to revisit every one of those steps, I would be glad to do it with you. I've tried to bring some of those up (the unmasking flap was pretty instructive as an example) but you don't seem to want to hear it.

    If your suspicions about the investigation end up being genuinely vindicated, I will concede that you were right, but I still won't co-sign your methods. Correspondingly, if Trump is found to have committed actual treason and is publicly hung from specially-constructed gallows, I won't be any more on board with people who were yelling treason!! months ago because they didn't like Trump and thought he was dirty.

    Probably time to fire Rosenstein since he's now part of the Deep State plot.

    It's basically what I've done. You just disagree with those conclusions. Instead of mocking my perceived cognitive ability maybe you should just accept people have different views.

    You are going to have to expand on this a little bit.

    Your brain may be a finely-honed weapon of war, but if you only accept input from a narrow slice of what's available, and automatically ascribe credibility to it, it's garbage in/garbage out.

    I watched a big chunk of the House hearing with Rosenstein this morning, and I was struck by the similarities to our conversations.

    With regard to Peter Strzok and wider accusations of bias, there was just a lot of hand-waving and table-pounding. That's really all there's going to be unless and until there's more to work with.

    Does this matter? Who did the waiver benefit here?
    However, the document signed by Justice's top career official, Associate Deputy Attorney General Scott Schools, provides no detail at all of the grounds for the waiver. In fact, it's so vague that it doesn't even convey why anyone would think Mueller needed such a release.

    ---

    Haha, I know this guy. For those of you from South Carolina, his family owned Piggly Wiggly (one of his brothers was CEO and ran it into the ground, absconding with tens of millions in 'employee owned' stock and assets - the current subject of a federal class-action suit [which is being presided over by the same judge that heard the Dylan Roof case]).

    His other brother taught me math in Middle School.

    That's the South for ya.
