LOL....yah right.

The FBI are a bunch of traitorous spooks and crooks. They are involved in setting up almost every act of terror that has ever occurred in this country. They have protected and enabled mafia killers and other dangerous psychopaths.

They lie, they spy, they falsify...they are a dishonorable scourge on our nation, and it is way past time they all be fired/jailed/executed for their crimes against our Constitution and the American people.

What ACTUAL crimes has the bureau ever actually prevented or solved? Let's just start there.

Absent of their setting the entire thing up, that is.

Just go on...name ONE

So your saying that if the police are investigating a drug dealer, search their car for drugs and find a body in the trunk they shouldn't be allowed to charge them with murder. I am thinking that if you are correct, a lot of people need to be let out of prison.

If Trump is tied to it, that will probably take more time as I'm sure everyone wants to dot their I's and cross their T's.

Trump did a great job of giving the FBI ammunition against his lawyer, Cohen. Maybe we should wait and see if Cohen would like to return the favor?
And see what the G-men dig up in Cohen's office. That will be interesting.

No doubt. The deflection and whataboutisms from some people are just outlandish.

Reagan planted the seeds
He could have vetoed the bill if he didn't want to sign it
But he DID--he wanted to cut back on social services--and cut back on unions--
He hated them from his time as CA govenor and before that head of the Screen Actors Guild...a big Union factory
This was the just say no to drugs president. I don't blame him for cutbacks on social services. His early years the country was in a recession. We saw similar actions during the last two recessions since Reagan. I am more critical of Reagan's lack of action during the early days of the AIDS epidemic. If Reagan had even said the word AIDS the money would have poured in and the small team of doctors in France wouldn't have been the only people in one country working on the problem.

His time as an actor, union boss and Gov. was way before my time. I can't really speak to those days. He was a Democrat that believed the party left him behind. Very similar to Trump. I can understand why he held a grudge against the SAG. They threw him to the wolfs. As far as the other unions go in particular the UAW and the big 3 it was their own arrogance and short-sightedness that caused them to become weakened. They produced an inferior product and lost huge chunks of market share to Foreign automakers that made a better product and have really never caught up. That had a cascade effect on all of middle America and broke steel making states like PA and Ohio and when those jobs go it's not just those jobs that are lost it's the supporting service and minor manufacturing that goes with them. I hardly blame Reagan for that. It's easy to blame him for the demise of middle America because he is an easy target. The reality is they were going downhill in the early 70's. Nearly 10 years before Reagan took office. If anything Nixon opened thge door for middle America's demise when he opened up China and took the United States off the gold standard. Again, a little before my time but that's how I understand it to be.

And besides, who said todays developments are related to the Russian interference investigation anyway?

The US attorney would have needed really strong evidence to get those warrants. If they find at least what they expected to find, Cohen would have to be indicted and/or arrested.
Can you imagine the President's personal lawyer being hauled away in cuffs? You don't need to, because we might be seeing that real soon. Unless we see the President pardoning his own lawyer?
Crazy times.

I said find one they weren't involved in or set up!

You did exactly the opposite.

Aw, it's so cute to see there are still people so naive as to have such blind faith in our justice system.
I agree that the justice system can be blind--and not in a good way--
But the idea that Trump didn't understand why Sessions might have to recuse himself wasn't about ignorance of the legal system
It was all about HUBRIS and Trump's narcissistic belief that the law as on objective, abstract force would ever have an impact on him or his actions...
Even though he has lost some lawsuits before he has never faced CRIMINAL charges...too bad...
I am sure there were times when he did commit crimes that deserved prosecution...
He just never met anyone with the cojones of Robert Mueller...
