I received a card asking me to vote for him. This is he only time he sends. Every year at election time. I emailed him last week informing him I would not vote for him for drag catcher after I heard him ranting about the FBI.

Brianna caught him on that, too.

Poor Mike lost 2 wealthy wives. All he has left is his House seat. I know he will never read my email but it made me feel better. From honorable Mayor to sleeze ball Freedom Caucus and Trump defender!

..... in I would guess in the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF).

SO WOULD IT BE ALRIGHT FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO LEAVE SCIF AND TELL REPORTERS EVERYTHING THAT WAS SAID IN THE SCIF?

And yes, I intentionally use CAPS!

I CAN ALREADY HEAR THE SCREAMING, STARTING WITH FOX!!! But not endings there.

have a switch on their microphone so after a certain amount of drivel and "politialspeak" and doublespeak, the interviewer cuts them off so the interviewer can repeat the question over and over, or a new one.

I'll bet Republican Politicians take courses on how to ignore having any civility in a conversation by constantly talking over an interviewing person trying to get a word in edgewise.....

They probably take a master's level course in how to talk for minutes on end, Saying.Absolutely.Nothing, their words being nothing but a circumlocution of bullshit..........

and the fact that 80+% of all U.S. Media is owned and/or controlled by Wealthy Republicans.
If reporters and employees of these Media Outlets want to keep their jobs, they write and deliver what their Republican owners want, or they are demoted or put out to pasture...........

I’m sick of the “okay, we’ll leave it at that” segway. Interviewers need to say “you have not answered the question that I posed. So why am I giving you air time? Goodbye.”

Sun Aug 14, 2022, 10:03 AM

- putting all the evidence in a room for congress to sift through.

There is a separation of powers.
The DoJ and FBI look after this and the suspects rights.

A nation of laws has to follow its laws - including the processing of evidence picked up by a criminal search warrant endorsed by a Grand Jury, the prosecutor and others at the DoJ/FBI, the Director of the FBI (a Republican picked by Trump), the Attorney General, etc.

Hillary was subjected to four search warrants

could never really be sure until they see what law enforcement's got.

But that is part of the law enforcement game - particularly when they're trying to access the damage. The fear of the unknown can trigger a mistake (like the boxes being moved on CCTV after the DoJ calls)

There could be a number of spies already dead or running for their lives this morning due to Trumps actions.

She asks it politely, but she's persistent. Every one of them have to be pressed. If it's okay? would you do it? Do you do it? Trump not only didn't return it immediately like he was supposed to, he didn't return it when asked.

He refused to really answer any of her questions. He just spun and spun and spun. I wish my washing machine spun that well. Also it was obvious that he had his talking points memorized and he wasn’t going to let her distract him.

is that Ivanka, Jared, and Trump himself couldn't pass the requirements normally needed to even have access to such intelligence......yet, for four years, they all were allowed complete access to TopTop Secret Intel, updated every morning.

Ivanka and Jared probably made off and sold more crap over the four years than Trump himself did........

Why the DOJ and FBI haven't raided Ivanka and Jared's domicile is beyond me. This whole thing happening A YEAR AND A HALF after the fact is the most alarming thing to me.........
