Good to see an American patriot fighting back.

There is literally no chance whatsoever that someone who read the IG's report would call McCabe a hero.
Or perhaps I am all wet about this, and McCabe was in fact a hero, for leaking the fact that the FBI was investigating the Clinton Foundation shortly before the election in order to mitigate the blowback from the fact his wife took money from her pal. |

"latest." Golly, I don't know about that, I do know however that the OIG's said that McCabe released information “directed primarily at enhancing McCabe’s reputation at the expense of PADAG (Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General).”
Curious tho that Clinton fans seem to be under the mistaken apprehension that he is a hero... Curious, it is almost as if they did not read the report... |

But at least in most of these moronic conspiracy theories, the event they are claiming was manipulated by some shadowy cabal actually took place.
Here, we have the claim that there was a conspiracy to keep Trump from the presidency and that the conspirators ginned up bogus intelligence to bring Trump down, and then… sat on their hands and let him win the election. It’s like saying 9/11 was an inside job if 9/11 never happened. |

I get it!!, the OIG report is just like the 9/11 Commission report and the McCabe truthers are just like 9/11 truthers in that they didn't read it and if they did, they didn't understand it.
Next level self owns going on here! |

AP are also reporting they have a source saying Cohen's lawyers are going to stop representing him in the case. This story says that he's looking for new lawyers, and contradicts the report that he's been talking about co-operating with prosecutors.

In other words, you are saying that the stupid, greedy, lying unprincipled Republicans who are in charge of the USA are looking like the stupid, greedy, lying unprincipled politicians who in charge in Venezuela.
I sure do agree with your absolutely brilliant comparison of these two issues. |

Well then, ...
I guess that means that the Republican government is treating the ex-lawyer of the current Republican president badly in the same way that the Republican government is treating the Republican president badly. And since the government of Venezuela is bad, and since the Republican government is bad, therefore Republicans are bad governors. Once again, I do agree with 'logger'. |

It's cute when you act superior but then get basic facts wrong like:

Funny that what you quote doesn't substantiate your claim. You seem to have a pattern of leaping to conclusions. What Mueller is asking for, from your own link:

Did you mean to again cite articles that contradict your assertion that they want to prevent the defendants from obtaining access to the material?
protip; attorney eyes only materials are preventing them from giving it to the defendants. Thanks for the super links, tho. |

A small amount of critical thinking would lead you to come to the conclusion that Trump is embroiled in this investigation, even by some who say they are Republicans, funny that.
I suppose you’re not informed enough to have heard the term “never Trumpers”? On top of that we even have judges who have ruled against Trump, oh my. |

No you’ve got it wrong again, probably because you’re very uninformed of what’s going on. The case against Cohen is from New York State. Only corrupt liberals up there. You didn’t know that did you. I don’t see why not, it’s been in the news constantly. Would you like to tell us why you didn’t know something that was so obvious?

Er, once again, you said New York State, which just isn't so.
And, once again, the case involves the DOJ of the Republican administration. How does it matter whether New York State is liberal? The (interim) attorney there was appointed by Sessions. So, is Sessions and his appointee part of "liberal New York"? (Honestly, I think you misspoke, thinking that it was the state of New York making this case. A perfectly reasonable response would be to admit your error and move on. But I'll wager you'll double down on the "liberal New York" gambit, for reasons which elude me.) |
