Trump / FBI / Russians

Care to elaborate on this...

 

Agreed.

 

You may be right, idk, it seems like something you might ask someone just in case. They knew how corrupt the last Admin was. They weren’t going to go away quietly.

 

Go find his post...his theory on exposing the swamp.

 

Thanks for the timeline, so much has happened since then it’s hard to remember everything. It does seem unlikely given the timeline however when Manafort resigned, that may have been a good time to start asking the what if we get investigated question. Below is the part that I’m teferring to.

Aug. 19, 2016: Trump's then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort resignedfollowing the hiring of new leadership and reports questioning Manafort’s ties to Russia. Ukrainian officials said that Manafort's name appears in "black accounts" linked to the country's former pro-Russian president.

That happened before this happened...

Nov. 8, 2016: Trump wins the election.

Nov. 18, 2016: Sessions announced as Trump’s pick for U.S. attorney general.

 

Not to change subjects, but republicans are dropping the ball right now and need to be called out.



If they pass that spending bill with Planned Parenthood in it, I would call that a loss for DT and America. You guys know I am not a DT fan but that was a promise he made and my tax dollars going to Planned Parenthood needs to stop.

 

I never said she didn't consent. If you don't see something wrong with a 50 year old President of the US banging a 22 year old intern in the White House we have different views of right and wrong.
And if you don't see how a 22 year old girl being propositioned by the President of the US puts that girl in a difficult position then I don't know what to tell you.

If a woman goes to work and her bos says "blow me and I'll give you a promotion" that is wrong. Even if she wants to blow him for the promotion

 

If he found out about Manafort and didn't ask Sessions about what fallout it could cause, then he really has no one to blame but him and his staff.

 

Agreed, that would of been one of my first questions if I knew something fishy popped up with someone on my team.

 

the attorney general is not supposed to have the president's back. he is supposed to enforce the laws of this country. he is the ag of the american people not of the potus. while he should get along with the potus and work to achieve his agenda he is not supposed to cover for him if he is violating the law or even suspected of violating the law.

 

You are making a lot of assumptions that is exactly how it went down. I don't recall her ever testifying he promised her a promotion or threatened her job if she didn't. As I recall, the Chief of Staff moved her over to the Pentagon because he had a feeling something was up. Then she got moved to the UN, they were trying to keep her away from him because she still wanted the D even after he wasn't her boss...

Could it not just be a girl with daddy issues and an old perv that happened to be president.

 

I hear ya Shredman, but this politics so we have to be realistic. Eric Holder wasn't exactly the most transparent.

 

There is nothing wrong with expecting your AG to have your back by not allowing an erroneous investigation to happen when they both know nothing illegal happened. If something illegal went down, then no I wouldn't expect him to protect him, of course not. Sessions was involved at a high level and knew nothing happened. He just doesn't have the balls to stand strong with DJT.

 

You are reaching. Either Sessions lied under Oath or he didn’t. How does Manafort fallout implicate Sessions? How would it create doubt or cause for Sessions to be questioned by Trump prior to appointment (about Russian Involvement)? The circumstances unfolded ...your notion is unwarranted in my opinion. Narrative does not fit reality. If anybody is to be blamed for recusal it’s Sessions.

 

"Knew nothing happened"...that's an assumption. I can't help but reply, prehaps he butted out because he thinks something did go down, no?

 

You could certainly go that route lol But 2 years of no evidence... I wouldn't bet on it.

 

Never said it implicated Sessions. My point was after finding out about Manafort, I would think Trump would ask the man he plans to name AG what kind of fallout Manafort might cause and how said AG would feel about it. It seems like a plausible conversation for a presidential nominee and the man he plans to make AG.

 

Yes, that's what I'm saying too.

 

Sure but to leap to an ignorant AG choice from that is...well, a leap. I was having trouble connecting the dots.

I think (opinion) Sessions recused himself due to perception and the narrative the dems were pushing that he was “involved with the Russians”
