Find the real quote and read it without partisan glasses on. I don't think he said what you would like to believe he said.

Trump is just as bad at lying yet he is defended. Remember day 1 when he claimed he had a bigger crowd than Obama had yet in reality he had 43 Bush sized crowd in 2005. What about his comments of health-care for all before supporting the Republican plan that isn't.

Your argument for Politifact is a common one. I see it all the time. Ranting and raving on how they cite their sources.....blah blah blah. What you and others fail to understand - or at least fail to mention - is that Politifact's very process of "fact checking" is subject to monumental bias because they 1) choose what to fact check and what not to fact check, and 2) pick and choose which sources they'd like to use for their "facts." And the Ace In the Hole? In order to rebut their sources you have to go and find alternative sources (ie. alternative facts -which do exist) to rebut the claims made by their handpicked sources. No one has time to do that, and they know that. But of course liberals are so enamored by their "fact checking" that these little details blow right over their head.

Politifact's process is tantamount to calling a historian and asking that person to tell us to rank the President's in order of effectiveness in office based on achievements. Because the historian is a "professional," their "facts" stand as the end-all, be-all. Nevermind the fact that any number of historians with the same data will come up with a completely different ordering of Presidents. But, of course, the one Politifact "chose" to use is the accurate one, right? Subjective beyond subjective and passed off as "fact."

If you don't understand the subjectivity of Politifact, you should at lease refrain from using them as a source until you finally get it. Until then, here's a compendium of lies told by Politifact. The wouldn't be "lies" if they were "facts," right?

Unreal.
They are all based on an unconfirmed leak. I do suspect it is true though.

Yeah, name the official so we can burn him at the stake for daring to defy our god emperor!

How about no. This constant demand for this is hilarious. You don't seem to mind when unnamed sources say things you like.

Is that what you say he is under investigation for? Otherwise you are off subject and have yet to furnish even one proof that he is under investigation. I am waiting for even one fact that he is under investigation that can be proved by telling who the leaker is. People being accused have a right to face their accuser. Made up facts don't count.

There's a video and a tweet. Interpret them as you like but most working in the judicial system interpret them as evidence of obstruction of justice.

For me, the only person whose opinion really matters at this time is Bob Mueller.

That post makes no sense unless you tell what post you are talking about where I commented on an unnamed source as fact. I don't remember EVER doing that.
