I lived through the Watergate fiasco. This currently unravelling story of Flynn, pre-election Russian intelligence communications with the Trump campaign, hacking of emails, lying to the vice-president, etc. is taking on an eerie, uncomfortable familiarity and ugly taste. I think this is leading to a seriously terminal legal or political event for this administration. It's "deja vu all over again" as Yogi Berra would have put it.
Its funny now the tables are turned how Senor Obama people will be looked at for disclosing and unmasking Americans. Truth is The Clintons had more to do with Russian than the Trumps!
I,too, remember. I was in college and my mom took pity on me and brought me a tv (a church rummage sale reject). We all sat around enthralled at the hijinks we saw on that gray and white screen. I have followed politics like a hawk ever since....
Difference being that Hillary is a actually a criminal.
*yawn* Hillary Clinton is no longer relevant...and one cannot be a criminal with out a conviction, I guess the concept of Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law...escapes you--odd..bet you can quote the 2nd amendment!
I would never call Trump a criminal..as he is afforded the same protections under our system.
Asinine, willfully stupid, pathologically self-centered, clinically paranoid and more than a little deranged..but I would never call him criminal--until he is convicted.
Nine months of investigations haven't yielded proof of anything except that Obama spied on an opposing party's campaign and the Hillary campaign conspired and colluded with reporters to cheat during a presidential election.
Heres a ton of unclassified information on what was revealed. Are you unaware, or just choosing to misrepresent the problem?
Without a doubt! Even a non-scandal warranted 13 hearings and a waste of taxpayer dollars.
Yeah, the cost of all these hearing and investigations are such a waste of taxpayer money. But all those security details for the weekend trips to Florida and the New York stays for family members....they are real cheap in comparison. LOL.
Crime
Noun - An action or omission which constitutes an offence and is punishable by law.
You do not have to be charged or convicted in order to be a criminal; you only need to be a person who has committed an unlawful act.
Fair enough..however...if one is not proven to be a criminal..than are they a criminal? For the purposes of conversation.
Belief is not proof..period.
I will concede personal knowledge of a crime.. that if you saw a crime take place..and you knew the person who committed it..you would be entitled to use the term.
While there are many criminals out there who will never be caught...one still cannot apply the term to a specific person..without proof--well, I guess you can...but most reasonable people will not believe it..and why should they?
Appreciate the snark re. Urban Dictionary..it's what I'd expect...
If you want a laugh though..check out my profile..makes it even funnier
