To jem's point, I think it's shocking that not every FBI agent is uniformly bowing to Trump after he repeatedly shit on the agency that they work for and dedicated their lives to, accusing the FBI of incompetence, corruption, conspiracy and illegal acts. Who'd a thunk it? Perhaps jem would prefer that the FSB conduct the investigation? Trump speaks so highly of all things Russia; they're bound to give him a fair shake.
At this moment, Trump is speaking at the FBI National Academy in Quantico, mostly reading from a teleprompter. As I've said before:
8 Worst defenses Of FBI Agent’s Anti-Trump ‘Insurance Policy’ Texts http://thefederalist.com/2017/12/15...fbi-agents-anti-trump-insurance-policy-texts/
I realize it can morph into his business dealings. Which is why I am not defending Trump overall. I just wish to see justice done correctly. But I said a guy like Dershowitz, not just Dershowitz. Smart appellate guy who has pull with the media. A lawyer who can bring in other guys on his team and can shine a light on trial judge if the trial judge screws up. That type of guy will pretty much ensure Trump gets past the next election because Mueller screwed up and has already created appellate work for years. after the next election win or lose Trump pardons himself. Years more of appeals. There could be other paths... but that one is now very likely.
I don't think the public outcry will tolerate going into trump's business dealing if it is clear that he is going there for failure to find a Russian campaign connection. Even though they will say otherwise, I don't think the libs support it either because they are already scared that an independent prosecutor for the dems and Hillary and the fbi will be appointed. They don't want that. Nothing will get an independent prosecutor for Hillary and the Clinton Foundation faster than if Mueller goes too far off the reservation. And don't think for a minute that I am saying that meuller starts looking at trumps personal business just to find something that that would provide a basis for an independent prosecutor to look at the Clinton Foundatiion. No, I am not saying that at all. They are not equivalent. There is absolutely a public corruption, pay to play scenario with the foundation. And that is why it should be looked at. So the conservatives may want meuller to behave himself and not get too adventurous but the libs better hope for that too. Mueller is holding a lot of cards. So are others. Two or three indepdendent prosecutors pointed right at the uranium deal, the Foundation, the FBI corruption, and Fusion/Russian connections would be like a nuke going off in Dem Village.
Nonsense. Why are you so afraid of investigators following the money? Afraid of what they might find?
The question is: why are you so afraid of following all the money by both Clinton and Trump rather than just Trump? Afraid of what they might find?? Heh, you should be.
It is nonsense. Who is really worried about Hillary Clinton being investigated? No one. What happened when sitting democrats faced sexual harassment allegations? Democrats cut them off. The only people trying to cover for anyone or worried about an investigation are republicans.
If there is just cause to investigate Clinton, then Trump's DOJ will do so. I won't lose any sleep over it like you do about Trump.
There’s a larger issue about politicizing the DOJ. The special counsel was only appointed because Trump fires Comey. If the DOJ or FBI want to continue to investigate Clinton they can have at it all day long. You don’t need a special counsel. You only want a special counsel because it looks good on tv. You’re mistaking symbolism for substance.
