Ever hear of Fusion GPS? Christopher Steele? Hillary and the DNC paid them to produce this "dossier" which has been shown to be false. Where have you been?
That was my question. Where has it been shown to be false? Steele met with Mueller and the information he provided is still being investigated.

Have you heard of the Washington Free Beacon? They are the ones who set the whole process in motion.

I find i strange they make the announcement and not say who it concerns, and that they won't do anything until Monday. Why not announce after the arrest.

An arrest would likely only be made in case of drug charge, flight risk, that type of thing.

Poor judgement hell.

Comey and the Intelligence Community have been weaponized against the Trump Campaign and the Trump Administration... And whatever else we are finding out about this criminal and the folks controlling this Puppet of Justice™. ... I invented that.

James Comey! The POJ!

Simply put, Comey was not doing his job. He showed partiality, and poor judgement. Rosenstein and others recommended he be fired. Ultimately, Trump said he had planned to fire him anyway. It's his choice. Comey was an Obama holdover, and had an obvious dislike of Trump. Why would you keep him?

Old school media for the Sunday, what used to be more balanced discussion shows. Not the 24/7 church of politics member shows.

To see what the suspect might do, or let possible suspects sweat it out over the weekend.

So at least the opposition research started out from Americans, not like Team Trump who went to foreigners and were ready to accept information from a foreign government (which is against election law - a campaign accepting something of value from foreign sources).


Ever bit of the Dossier has been debunked thoroughly. From Donald in a hotel room to some guy that has never ever been to Russia. It was all made up and the more lies included, the more Hillary and Wasserman Schultz paid for it. they are saying it cost the DNC and Hillary's Campaign 12 million now. No one lets go of 12 million unless they know what they are buying, no matter what lawyer privileges have been granted.


What is so damaging to our Republic is, it was used by our own government as a weapon against their enemy. Peoples Liberties, are the enemy of any government.

This among various other statements made stating other reasons, so it seems as time went on, other excuses evolved, just as they did during the Dopey Jr. statement that changed 4 times in 3 days, which ultimately turned out to be a lie from the start. When presented with a pattern of behavior, it's safe to say that pattern or behavior can be applied to other statements on the same subjects.
And as it turns out, he was right. It was a made up story. Bought and paid for by Hillary and the DNC.

But the important point here is that he did not call for an end of the investigation, which he, as President, had the authority to do. So that kind of takes the wind out of your sails.
