Indictments coming...

[alien42]

this thread would be much better if it stayed on topic, please ignore the troll/s, or at least don't respond to the derailing.

I figured it was something like that. I'll consider that a failure on your part.

Lol. It's ok, we all consider you a failure.

this is an interesting request signed yesterday...

*edit - removed bi-partisan as it is only Republicans.

Lots of reading to do on a phone. Could you please give a summary?

Thank you

Thank you

it's a request from the Senate Judiciary Committee, signed by Grassley and Graham, asking for all FISA requests by the FBI and DOJ regarding anything Russia/Trump.

Just because it's under the Committee letterhead doesn't mean it's bipartisan.

Signers are GOP. Doesn't look like a request the tin foil hat wearing Democrats would be making.

you're correct, i always get Grassley confused as a Democrat for some reason.

Seems like they are investigating the investigation itself and not Trump and Co. with these requests.

They're running cover for the Trump team & attempting to discredit the FBI.

I figure Grassley & Graham are on a conspiracy theory fishing expedition to have made the request at all.

Any day now . . .

We should really have a thread betting on how long it takes the progressive left to start blaming the lack of indictments on big corporations and International Jewry.

Go for it. I'm sure you guys need something to circle jerk to anyway.

 

[vi edit]

I still personally think that Manafort and Kush get pinched. Flynn flips and gets a good deal. Absolutely no clue what happens to El Jefe.

But then they'd all have messy hands... Wait just a tick, they already do.

You have absolutely jumped one ginormous fucking shark with the above. You and Max and 0roo gonna start a new band together?

Well that was an impressively gross post. What is wrong with you?

If any one of those people is in a position of possibly being indicted, such that they are considering making a deal to turn on Trump, all Trump has to do is pardon that person. Then there is no reason to flip.

I wonder if any of these clowns will still be locked into their self-imposed straitjackets, screaming "RUSSIA!!!!!!!!1111111122222222" at the top of their lungs on January 20, 2025 when Trump finishes his second term.

I can't imagine many of these white nationalist fantasies have come true in the last few decades.

If that were to happen how many republicans would stand by his side?

That's a touchy one though, if Trump starts pardoning people who are about to be indicted over their conduct with a hostile foreign power he probably dramatically increases his own chances of impeachment. Additionally if they were pardoned wouldn't that void their 5th amendment protections so they could be compelled to testify?

I guess it depends on how damning the 'flipping' information would be, but pardoning people seems to have a lot of negative consequences as well.

Hahaha, meanwhile, you and 5+ years of the Ben-Gazi thread(s).

difference there being the right losing their shit and clinging to Senate hearings (so: no real investigations, just public grandstanding with the aim of convincing the people that something happened), vs "the progressive left" is able to point to an actual FBI and special council and Senate investigations, and even an admission of truth in the matter from POTUS himself. fucking amazing.

In defense of werepossum (and I feel dirty saying that), he actually wasn't one of the posters who constantly cried Benghazi and he had a more critical eye of the accusations being made. The emails on the other hand....

Oroo and the Maxed Out Rodent? (Yes I know it's a marsupial but it looks like a rodent and... 'nuff said.
