StrangeSox Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 The questions highlighting that Trump only ever talked to him about dropping Flynn and removing "the cloud" around him and never asked about any other major issues or ongoing investigations seems pretty damning.

RockRaines Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Trump's entire business acumen appears to be asking for people to do him favors for access to something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 PopehatWitchHunt @Popehat If you phrase something as "I hope" it can't be a crime, and if you ask someone "are you a cop" they have to tell you 10:34 AM - 8 Jun 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 10:23 AM) I dont understand why people would defend Trump because you are religious. He has nothing to do with that, and doesnt support it at all. Your religion should support you wanting truth and compassion from your president. Â My mom is friends with someone on facebook that posted some meme of that old pic with Obama in muslim wear next to a pic of Trump shaking the priests hand on inauguration day, with "Finally a Christian President" typed over it.

We LOL'd  Getting off topic, but last week he met with Presbyterian leaders. He told them that he did really well with evangelicals, they clarified that they are mainline Protestants, and then Trump asked "you're Christian, right?"  Trump claims to be Presbyterian.    Jonathan Karl ✔ @jonkarl The President firmly denies ever asking for Comey's loyalty or asking him to let the Flynn investigation go, a knowledgeable source tells me 9:00 AM - 8 Jun 2017     Loved the Thomas Beckett quote. Perfect response to the "but your boss, the President of the United States, only said 'hope!' That's not undue influence!" line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Fox is going to do nothing but focus on the fact that Comey leaked his notes and that Trump wasnt under investigation at the time of the questions. Â Most people are going to see that Russia was involved, the president lies and has been obstructing justice, Sessions was involved directly with Russia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) This is absurd, but they're really going with the "the President is just really dumb and ignorant, you can't hold him accountable!" line of defense (also CLINTON EMAILS!)  The Associated Press ✔ @AP BREAKING: Speaker Paul Ryan says FBI director needs to be independent, says Trump unfamiliar with protocol, `just new to this' 10:47 AM - 8 Jun 2017  e: Edited June 8, 2017 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Have you guys heard about EMAILS yet? Republicans really want everyone to know the CLINTON had EMAILS. Â I don't even understand what McCain's question is. How did the FBI finish one investigation but not a different, tangentially related investigation? Huh? Â That was truly bizarre. He was trying to conflate the clinton email server investigation and the Russia tampering/possible campaign collusion campaigns.

He looks like he's either on some kind of heavy medication or getting hit hard by old age. Â His only aim seems to be to insinuate that Hillary Clinton should be a target of the Russian investigation because it concerns the election, and she was in the election.

Implying that any investigation of Russian interference should involve both campaigns. What the hell that had to do with a separate investigation on Clinton's use of a private email server is a complete mystery to everyone but McCain, though.
