Russia Collusion Scandal (aka A Leftist fantasy)

Are you ****ing kidding me? What "hysterics?"

In reference to the incident we're discussing:

Steve Bannon's refusal to answer questions during his meeting with the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday was "unprecedented," according to Rep. Adam Schiff.

Beyond that, I'm too lazy to pull quotes for someone who is content referring others to "the transcripts" as opposed to substantiating a claim, but you can always count on Schiff to infer the most sinister motives (of the opposition, of course).

I never thought people bought into that **** hook, line, and sinker, but what's new these days.

I don't understand what's so complicated about this.

"Bannon infuriated both Republicans and Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee by refusing to answer questions this week regarding his role in the presidential transition and later as a White House advisor. Repeatedly during Bannon’s executive session testimony, he and his attorney took numerous breaks to confer via phone with the White House counsel’s office as to what questions he should answer and which ones he would not."

From The Hill:

"White House chief of staff John Kelly said Wednesday the White House didn't tell Bannon to invoke executive privilege and refuse to answer questions in Congress's investigation into Russia's election meddling."

You can't just pull the executive privilege card when it hasn't been formally invoked. Trump is ordering Bannon to limit his testimony and there's evidence to suggest he did the same with Lewandoski. Without invoking executive privilege. But if you don't give a ****, then whatever. It's pointless having a conversation with you about it.

The transcripts I'm referring to is over the repeated insinuations by thethe, others on here and Fox News that the dossier is a Hillary Clinton/FBI-inspired hit job on Trump. A project of the Deep State.

Are you saying the Dossier wasn't funded by HRC? Are you saying Obamas DOJ did not have the involvement in its procurement and use?

I can't find them in any other form. I guess they'd be on the senate and house websites. I've not read through all of the house one but the senate one proves all the **** Republicans, or the majority of them, and the president have been peddling the past couple months is complete **** and they knew it.

Not primarily. No. And certainly not in the way you and others have tried to portray it.

Ok so now you are saying that they had a role in it?

Since you basically just admitted that then that means there is already more evidence of collusion with HRC/OBama and the Russians.

I very much give a **** about it. That’s why I’m calling you on your bull**** and attempting to correct it.

Kelly denies that the White House told Bannon to invoke executive privilege.

You even posted a quote from an article on it.

Do you see how that would deflate your witness tampering claim?

Or do you think Kelly is lying?

If so, then you are right; this is a pointless endeavor.

I may have misunderstood Kelly's quote (Trump ordering him vs. the White House not invoking a formal executive privelege), but my argument stands. I don't believe they kept taking breaks in the testimony and refusing to answer questions (which didn't just anger Schiff, but Trey Gowdy and other Republicans in the room) to get updates on Braves-Marlins trade talks.
 
There's no justification to the characterize this is as a hoax. There is emerging evidence and an investigation is being conducted. I mean are you really that dense?

Let me ask this: When Mueller makes a report to Congress, I would guess sometime next year (?) with "proof" what is your response going to be? That you don't believe it?
