The moral outrage over some paperwork clerical errors versus a president who sought aid from, and received aid from, the Russian GRU Spy Agency (Formerly the KGB) is laughable and down right tragic. Treasonous Trump destroying America One Republican Soul At a Time.

Randy Smith Examples: Trump “I can't imagine they vote for it because we did nothing wrong. There was absolutely nothing done wrong.” Repeated 106 times The issues raised by Trump's phone call with the Ukrainian president are serious. Trump now tosses that inquiry into his grievances over the Russian probe, which ended up documenting serious potential cases of obstruction of justice. Impeachment is not overturning a election nor is it a coup-- if a president is removed, his vice president would replace him -- but is part of the Constitution.

Jack McCausland I am curious as to your definition of a patriot. My understanding of a patriot is one willing to serve their country and others for the good of all. A patriot should have great reverence for the Rule of Law and our Constitution for the good of all. A patriot should cherish civil discourse and build a team out of all walks of life through respect. A patriot understands that to receive respect you must show respect. As Jesus once said: “If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.” Does Trump fit these ideals? Food for thought 🤔

J. Rob. I read the IG Report - did you? I read The Mueller Report Vol I & Vol II - did you? FYI, Trump suffers from STD’s not TDS - Remember it was his “own private Vietnam”. At least Jane Fonda actually went to Vietnam. But like Trump she provide comfort and aid to a Communist Foe.

Ancient Link Unfortunately, the Democratic Leadership feels that additional charges of obstruction (11 Counts in Mueller Report Vol II) will muddy the waters and slow Impeachment down. They feel the current articles of impeachment are more than sufficient to justify Trump’s removal for Abuse of Office. Many times Criminal Prosecutors will limit the number of charges the bring against a Criminal. To the Criminal Prosecutor it is more important that the Criminal be Convicted than try to Convict the Criminal for every Crime Committed.

John Harris Did you read the IG Report? I have $20 that says you haven’t and another $20 that says you never will.

Brendo Xd As always MAGA Maggots can offer insults and feelings but never facts, cited article, or original source materials. Why is this so indicative of a MAGA Maggot? What commonalities could the majority of MAGA Maggots have that expresses itself in this manner? FYI, the irony of me calling you a MAGA Maggot is not lost on me. However, sometimes you just have to call a spade a spade.

fifty years Yes indeed, the ole false patriot “Civil War” boogie man. You would prefer War over the right to own slaves, to be able to pick and choose what parts of the Rule of Law you abide by, and pick and choose how you care to interpret the Constitution. Will you Southerners never learn?

Joseph Peeler Fact Checking for the grossly misinformed John P.: Here’s a guide to some of the more noteworthy reactions to the report. “The IG report proves Obama officials abused their FISA power to trigger an investigation into @realDonaldTrump’s campaign.”  — House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), in a tweet, Dec. 9, 2019 The report documents FISA abuse by the FBI, but Scalise twists this politically to claim it was at the hands of “Obama officials.” The report says many of the errors happened deep in the bureaucracy, though it faults senior officials for poor oversight. “So many basic and fundamental errors were made by three separate, hand-picked teams on one of the most sensitive FBI investigations that was briefed to the highest levels within the FBI,” the inspector general concluded, that there was a failure of “not only the operational team, but also of the managers and supervisors, including senior officials, in the chain of command.”  The report also does not say the FISA abuse triggered the investigation, or that Obama officials opened it. The report says the counterintelligence investigation, known internally as Crossfire Hurricane, was opened after receipt of information from a “Friendly Foreign Government” (Australia). A diplomat for that country was told by Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos that “the Trump team had received some kind of suggestion from Russia that it could assist this process with the anonymous release of information during the campaign that would be damaging to Mrs. Clinton (and President Obama).” The report said: “This information provided the FBI with an articulable factual basis that, if true, reasonably indicated activity constituting either a federal crime or a threat to national security, or both, may have occurred or may be occurring.” The report added that investigators found no “evidence that political bias or improper motivation” influenced the decision to open the probe. Lauren Fine, communications director for Scalise, pointed to a statement by John Durham, a prosecutor appointed by Attorney General William P. Barr to further investigate the origins of the probe: “We do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.”

Joseph Peeler Fact Checking for the grossly misinformed Joseph P. “The mainstream media cannot dispute this fact: Comey’s FBI repeatedly misled the FISA court and omitted key facts about the phony Steele Dossier, which launched the 2-year, $35M Russia investigation.”  — Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel, in a tweet, Dec. 9 This is a tricky tweet. The use of “which” also suggests the dossier assembled by former British spy Christopher Steele triggered the investigation, rather than Papadopoulos’s loose lips. That would support the previous, now-debunked narrative. But, as noted, the report did document how key facts about the dossier were not disclosed. “We identified multiple instances in which factual assertions relied upon in the first FISA application were inaccurate, incomplete, or unsupported by appropriate documentation, based upon information the FBI had in its possession at the time the application was filed,” the report said, adding that the omissions “made it appear that the information supporting probable cause was stronger than was actually the case.”  For instance, the FBI failed to disclose that Page had been approved as an “operational contact” with another agency (Page has said this is the CIA) and that he had disclosed his contacts with certain Russian intelligence officers. Moreover, the FBI appeared to use these contacts as evidence against him in seeking a court order to conduct surveillance. McDaniel also pins the failure on “Comey’s FBI,” referring to FBI Director James B. Comey, who was fired by Trump on May 9, 2017. The FISA application to monitor Page was renewed at least once, in June 2017, after Comey was fired. Steve Guest, an RNC spokesman, defended the tweet by pointing to this line in the report: “We found that the FBI did not have information corroborating the specific allegations against Carter Page in Steele’s reporting when it relied upon his reports in the first FISA application or subsequent renewal applications.”

Joseph Peeler Fact Checking for the grossly misinformed Joseph P. “The report, actually — and especially when you look into it, and the details of the report — are far worse than anything I would have even imagined. … This was an overthrow of government. This was an attempted overthrow. And a lot of people who were in on it, and they got caught. They got caught red-handed.”  — President Trump, remarks to reporters, Dec. 9 Trump sticks with his conspiracy theories. There is nothing in the report that supports “an overthrow of government.” In fact, as we noted, the IG found that political bias did not factor into the start of the probe. He even turned up text messages of FBI agents hoping Trump would beat Hillary Clinton. In many ways, the IG report would have been disappointing to Trump, yet he gamely suggests it’s even worse than he expected.

Randy Smith More Examples: DEC 09 2019 Trump “I don't know what report current Director of the FBI Christopher Wray was reading, but it sure wasn't the one given to me. With that kind of attitude, he will never be able to fix the FBI, which is badly broken despite having some of the greatest men & women working there!” Show details Trump attacks his own FBI director for accurately citing the DOJ Inspector General report and embracing its recommendations.

@dontaskmeimjustagirl...5798 Summaries of Mueller Report Vol I & II contd: 2. So many lies. So many changed stories. One of the unanswered questions of the past two years — which helped fuel the F.B.I. investigation, congressional inquiries and journalistic scrutiny — is why so many people lied, changed their stories and issued misleading statements to both the public and federal authorities The report recaps one false statement after another. Just a few examples: Mr. Trump was livid when journalists revealed that he had unsuccessfully ordered Mr. Mueller’s firing. The president tried to get Mr. McGahn to say publicly that was false, but Mr. McGahn refused, saying that the news reports were accurate. Mr. Mueller’s report notably declared that Mr. McGahn was “credible.” Mr. Trump also pressed the deputy attorney general, Rod J. Rosenstein, to give a news conference about the firing of the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey. The White House press office wanted Mr. Rosenstein to say it was his idea. Mr. Rosenstein told the president that a news conference was a bad idea “because if the press asked him, he would tell the truth.” The White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, admitted issuing a statement to the news media “in the heat of the moment that was not founded on anything.”

4. No obstruction? Not so fast. Mr. Trump was quick to declare the report a total vindication. But federal authorities went out of their way not to exonerate Mr. Trump. They wrote that his conduct in office “presents difficult issues that prevent us from conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred.” If the evidence cleared the president, Mr. Mueller would have said so. It didn’t. (Vol. II, Page 8)

@dontaskmeimjustagirl...5798 5. Evading an F.B.I. interview proved a successful strategy. Mr. Trump repeatedly said he was eager to sit for an interview with Mr. Mueller’s team, despite his lawyers’ insistence that doing so would be a terrible idea. The report makes clear why his lawyers were so worried about it. Mr. Mueller had a huge cache of unanswered questions, misleading and conflicting statements, and unexplained actions with which to confront the president. Sitting for an interview, the report makes clear, would have exposed Mr. Trump to far more problems. Mr. Mueller said he chose not to subpoena the president because a court fight would delay the investigation. But that decision meant that the authorities were never able to ask the central question in the obstruction case: What was Mr. Trump thinking when he tried repeatedly to undermine the federal investigation? Mr. Mueller believed he had the authority to subpoena the president. (Vol. II page 13.

@dontaskmeimjustagirl...5798 6. No conclusive evidence of conspiracy, but lots of reason to investigate. Mr. Mueller makes explicit what Mr. Trump has repeatedly cast doubt on: Russia secretly manipulated the 2016 presidential election. The investigation ultimately found no evidence that anyone from Mr. Trump’s campaign participated in that effort, but the report reveals in stark detail the many suspicious interactions that had the F.B.I. so worried. Many of those have been reported, but the report amounts to a compendium that helps explain the origins of the F.B.I. investigation, known as “Crossfire Hurricane.” For instance, it has long been known that George Papadopoulos, a young campaign aide, was told that the Russian government had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton in the form of thousands of emails. But the report goes much further, revealing that Mr. Papadopoulos suggested an explicit offer by the Russian government to work with the Trump campaign to sabotage Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Papadopoulos indicated that Russia wanted to coordinate with the Trump campaign. (Vol. I, Page 89)

@dontaskmeimjustagirl...5798 7. Reading this report cold. Prosecutors describe a president who was preoccupied with ending a federal investigation, a White House that repeatedly told misleading and changing stories, and a presidential campaign that was in repeated contact with Russian officials for reasons that are not always clear. Even though prosecutors concluded that didn’t amount to provably criminal conduct, the report is astounding in its sweep. Yet it is also a reminder of how much the public has learned over the past two years about Mr. Trump’s conduct. If the American public or members of Congress were learning these things for the first time, the political fallout would normally be devastating. The consequences of the report remain to be seen, but if people are not surprised or shocked by the revelations, then Mr. Trump may have benefited by the steady drip of news stories he has so loudly criticized. The special counsel suggests a pattern of behavior by Mr. Trump to harm the investigation. (Vol. II, Page 157)

OMG, you are still claiming nothing! Can you not read? See Mueller Report Vol I & II Summary though the 32 significant Russian GRU Spy Agency contacts did not rise to the level of Criminal Conspiracy they were highly disturbing and on the whole damaging American Security. Note: Criminal Conspiracy requires the prosecutors to demonstrate INTENT (otherwise know as what was in the criminals mind at the time). This is nearly an impossible hurdle for any prosecutor. See IG Report. Summary: Investigation of Trump's Contacts with the Russian GRU Spy Agency were proper and justified. Sub Summary: 16 Clerical errors were made during the investigation. 1Low level Attorney altered 1 FISA Application on Carter Page. The employee was forced out of the FBI after the incident was discovered, two U.S. officials said. Horowitz found that the employee erroneously indicated he had documentation to back up a claim he had made in discussions with the Justice Department about the factual basis for the application. He then altered an email to back up that erroneous claim. However, the IG concluded that the conduct did not affect the overall validity of the surveillance application. That my friend is how you document and source a claim. You wouldn't appear so dam stupid (and you might even shed a little ignorance) if you followed my example.

Don't ask me, I'm just a girl... If it is proven then surely you can provide the proof. I provided you unimpeachable proof, you provide me opinion. Hardly seems fare. Unless, you can not research, or can not read, or you are too lazy, or perhaps you truly have nothing. I suspect the later. Little girl, never pick a documentation fight when you are grossly unprepared.
