(296 posts)Wafting in the breeze! Oddly smells like BULLSHIT! Every few weeks they roll out this BS to remind of us of DURHAM's ongoing report for which Bill Barr will pull out a four page synopsis from his ass! They are desperate and hoping it will have the same effect as James Comey's October announcement he was investigating new additional emails on the FBI's closed investigation of Hillary Clinton just days before the 2016 election. Remember their promise that everyone is GOING TO JAIL! In reality, Trump, Barr and the GOP hope it is enough to spoil things for Biden and Democrats.

(7,917 posts)It is a hallmark of how things get done under Putin. If you read the details of who and how Ukraine was destabilized it forms an almost note for note primer for much of what's happened here under Trump.

(296 posts)turn NOTHING into SOMETHING. They probably know their plan will fail but TIMING is of the essence now. They just need to convince some voters to change their minds and vote to re-elect Trump. Needs to be a narrower margin combined with confusion and allegations of fraud. These guys are desperate and will conjure up ANYTHING to trick some voters! That's all they NEED! Be prepared!

(3,522 posts)That was chanted at the Republican National Convention in 2016.
Trumps Attorney General (Jeff Sessions) repeated it in 2018 talking to high schoolers.
Anyone who doesnt believe that there was a concerted, organized effort to put Hillary Clinton in prison is denying reality. And you would be ignoring reality to believe that they wouldnt attempt this with any other political rival.
This wasnt just some cheer from a backwoods, die-hard Trump supporter. This was said by people at the highest levels of power in the government, including the head of the Department of Justice.
I get why people feel the way your friend and your son do. It seems unbelievable. I dont want it to be true. The world would be much better if this was just a crazy thought in my head instead of reality. But when you look at the facts, it is not a hypothetical. They have already tried this. They will try it again if given an opportunity.

these fears are very real, but also pushed too hard by some.
I have to step back and think a lot.

(2,002 posts)When everyday, charges were just around the corner for everyone associated with the Clinton Foundation? People with no privilege to that information were swearing it to be true.
This is "McCabe" all over again. No statutes were broken though you could say someone maybe violated internal policy. That's where they are. There is no criminal statute that Comey, Clapper, or Brennan could violate while carrying out their duties in an investigation. They are also trying their damndest to get a GJ to indict someone for misleading a FISA judge and its apparently not working.

(31,525 posts)it just gave him free rein to do as he pleases with no fear of repercussions. They were more interested in maintaining power than they are in keeping their oath to defend and protect the Constitution.
In November, they all need to be kicked to the curb.

(2,596 posts)Any lawless so-called prosecutor can do this. In fact, it's done all the time by conflating evidence and bringing baseless charges against someone. They then leave the consequences for a jury or a judge to decide. Why would anyone think they wouldn't do it. This is Bill Bully Boy Barr's DOJ now.
