    We're excusing war crimes now, but it's important for all of us to remember that is is far too soon to start comparing Trump to "outlandish" fascists like Hitler and Mussolini.

    Barr fucked Mueller over more than anything.  If the Mueller Report just dropped without Barr running a three week long disinformation campaign with his memo, it would have been a bigger deal.

    Barr sabotaged the Russia investigation and the Mueller Report.  

    Barr was confirmed by the Senate by campaigning for the job on the platform of, “I know how to obstruct justice and get away with it!” 

    He also had a track record of obstructing justice and getting away with it in prior administrations.

  3. Get ready to hear a lot about Iran for the next few weeks from our resident Trumpkins. Trump is going to take that to 11 and Trump/Trumpkin's will claim it's treason to impeach him while dealing with his false claim that Iran is enriching uranium and will attack the west with it. 

    It's about the only card Trump has left in his hand.

    BT has a long history as easily the most liberal poster on the board. That’s all I need

    That is his point. BT has a long history of being an insanely "liberal" poster, far from the normal left posters on here. He's antagonistic while doing so and has a long history of making misleading posts, while adding very little original content.

    However, he minimizes the Mueller investigation, he minimizes Russian interference in the 2016 election, he fervently defends Tulsi, Assange and Greenwald at every opportunity.

    Those are not the positions of an actual progressive lefty. He's an obvious troll.

    This, plus the "they didn't know they were breaking the law" excuse put forward by Mueller in not pursuing charges ended up being one helluva an effective strategy at the time.

    Let's see if it holds up Round 2 of Stupid Watergate: Electric Boogaloo Too.

    The coverups show consciousness of guilt. They knew at the time, or immediately after every time, that it was wrong. 

    They just don't give a shit. You are right though, they've been astoundingly effective at moving the goal posts time after time.

    I honestly can't fathom how someone so dumb doesn't drown when drinking a glass of water. 

    His posting history suggests severe brain damage. I think it's safe to assume he's drowned numerous times and been revived with varying degrees of success. 

    He's like a Beric Dumbdarian. Every time he drowns and is revived, he comes back a dumber version of himself.

  7. Could just be a delaying tactic and being an asshole, but seems like a bold strategy Cotton move to piss off the judge on the first day for no gain.

    If they don't know the names, have some of the most likely Trumpkins followed home. All it takes is 1 Johnny Sack or EMAW to ensure a hung jury.

    because of course, this dude cannot do anything without making it a mockery:

    now THIS is how an arch supervillain arrives to court

    Pretty slick, if they know the names of the potential jurors. Gives them over night to dig into the backgrounds and political leanings of any potential jurors not already struck.

    While that wouldn't be an advantage for almost any other case, if you have access to the nefarious people and organizations Stone does, it could be huge.

    His lawyers will know who is a Trump supporter and who is vehemently in favor of impeachment with a couple of phone calls.

    Except the investigation was entirely legitimate. The Biden's are shady as fuck. Joe used his influence for personal gain and probably got an investigation stopped on behalf of his son.

    You don't want to get investigated? Don't trade policy for personal favors.

    Breaking news, the whistleblower was kicked out of the White House for leaking and is a partisan Democrat. I mean, who could have seen that coming? 

    1) It wasn't. Like everything coming out of GOP mouths and fingers, that's a blatant lie. There has been no credible evidence of any of the allegations. Not a fucking shred. The allegations of corruption at Burisma predate Hunter Biden joining the board of directors. 

    The prosecutor Biden forced out, Shokin, is a corrupt criminal. Firing Shokin was in NATO's interest and against Putin's interests.

    David Sakvarelidze was five months into a new job as Ukraine’s reformist deputy chief prosecutor when a witness came forward with intelligence that would change the course of everything. The witness, a sand producer in the Kiev region, complained of men extorting hundreds of thousands of dollars. It took a while to persuade the man to give evidence. But when he did, and the investigation began, the trail led to two of the country’s highest-placed prosecutors. 

    A search of the men’s apartments revealed a scene that looked like a comic heist: bags full of cash, diamonds and other precious stones. But that was not the only incriminating evidence. Documents seized at the time indicated the men appeared to have a connection to the top prosecutor in the land, Viktor Shokin

    Police found copies of Shokin’s passports, property registration certificates and even his licence to carry firearms. One of the two men, it transpired, was Shokin’s former driver who had subsequently climbed the ranks behind his boss. 

    For Sakvarelidze, there were clear suspicions the two men may have been carrying out the business of the chief. But his attempts to investigate were frustrated. Soon, he faced a corruption investigation himself. At loggerheads with Shokin, he was pushed out of his job within the year. 
     
    2) Alanis Morrissette is on line 2, she wants to tell you no one lacks this much self-awareness and it's a dead giveaway you are a troll. Be better.
     
    3) Like the administration, you've shown you are completely disingenuous and there is zero reason to take you at face value. I'm not seeing anything on google. That said, if the whistleblower was fired, you can stack another impeachable offense on Trump's pile. He should be able to make a pretty good box fort here soon.

    what we're up against:

     

    That's clearly a GOP source, claims Morrison was more worried about potential leaks. That's a constant Trump/GOP talking point. 

    They gaslight and mislead at every opportunity, especially when stories just break and the media doesn't know which thread to follow yet. There is zero reason to assume that source is not intentionally misleading with a pro-Trump claim like that.

    I thought y’all were wrong pressing that issue.  Pretty cool. 

    Never trust anything from the Trump administration. If the sanitized version they were willing to release was so incriminating, the untold part of it was even worse. 

    The entire right wing was also fixated on calling it a 'transcript', even though it clearly says at the bottom that it isn't. They were setting the messaging really hard. That was another tell.
