Aren't you confusing several things? Legolas Send a noteboard - 11/05/2017 07:16:21 PM

View original postFor all the hair pulling and smoke sitting there is really zero as none evidence. It makes sense to have the FBI look into if for the optics if nothing else but acting like there is anything to substantiate the accusation is what needed to be challenged. The only reason this had been allowed to go as far ad out had and not been dismissed as Looney conspiracy theory BS is it Trump and Trump makes the media into crazy conspiracy theory nutjobs.

The Flynn thing is (mainly) about his contacts with Russia after the election. The investigation about contacts during the campaign, to the extent anything is known about it, focuses on other people like Manafort (however much Trump likes to pretend he never had anything to do with him).

As Jen points out, no, we don't know much - but a lot of people and instances who know more have judged that there is enough evidence to have serious investigations. I'm sure you noticed that a number of Republican senators felt the same way about the timing of Comey's firing as the rest of us did.

As for crazy conspiracy theory nutjobs - I'm sure you've also heard that one of the reasons being cited for the Comey firing was the crazy-conspiracy-theory-nutjob-in-chief's resentment about Comey having denied his idiotic wiretapping claims.

Comey was fired today.. Urza - 10/05/2017 05:41:17 AM 1025 Views
It's hard to make this look good. And I'm dubious of their reasons. *NM* Ghavrel - 10/05/2017 06:19:12 AM 177 Views
With the media emotionally tied to selling Trump chatted it will be a hard sell. *NM* random thoughts - 10/05/2017 05:20:27 PM 192 Views
The firing as such is one thing, but the timing raises major question marks. Legolas - 10/05/2017 07:29:57 AM 403 Views
Especially since there are allegations that Trump didn't have reasons but ordered them to be found. Ghavrel - 10/05/2017 08:20:05 AM 380 Views
Please...this is totally overblown Tom - 10/05/2017 03:58:49 PM 316 Views
What question marks? I know that is the talking point but they stop there random thoughts - 10/05/2017 05:24:59 PM 300 Views
It doesn't necessarily have to be about Trump personally. Legolas - 10/05/2017 08:13:12 PM 442 Views
There is zero evidence that Flynn colluded with the Russians on the campaign random thoughts - 10/05/2017 09:36:20 PM 310 Views

How many of those people telling there is something there despite any evidence are political enemies *NM* random thoughts - 13/05/2017 01:22:59 AM 246 Views
Sigh that is an arguement of rhetoric and not logic. Roland00 - 13/05/2017 06:08:25 AM 302 Views
Agreed on all points. *NM* The Shrike - 11/05/2017 04:26:32 PM 205 Views
I read he found out by seeing it on the news. Aviendha - 10/05/2017 08:42:28 AM 438 Views
I heard he found out because he's one of Trump's twitter followers *NM* aerocontrols - 10/05/2017 01:58:10 PM 184 Views
I've seen it now. Aviendha - 10/05/2017 10:11:59 PM 297 Views

Mitch McConnell isn't worried, so I'm sure it's fine. *NM* nossy - 10/05/2017 03:53:58 PM 219 Views
Sarcasm aside, have you seen even a shred of evidence that it was improper? Tom - 10/05/2017 04:01:46 PM 359 Views
Are these like the "shreds of evidence" people threw up all over me about how corrupt Clinton is? nossy - 10/05/2017 04:35:29 PM 335 Views
When did we start investigating a sitting president when there is zero recurrence her was involved? random thoughts - 10/05/2017 05:34:50 PM 384 Views
When which now? nossy - 10/05/2017 06:10:11 PM 292 Views
Can you point to single piece of evidence tying Trump campaign worker's to the email hacks? random thoughts - 10/05/2017 09:47:00 PM 301 Views
Can *I*? No. But then I'm a landscape designer living in the UK. nossy - 10/05/2017 11:03:56 PM 309 Views
Let's just take that one extra step Tom - 11/05/2017 02:51:49 PM 338 Views
Heh, well that must be terrible for you. nossy - 11/05/2017 03:40:16 PM 446 Views
Not even the president is required to prove his innocence random thoughts - 11/05/2017 04:06:30 PM 349 Views
But firing the person leading an investigation isn't how to determine one's innocence, hence nossy - 11/05/2017 04:19:13 PM 326 Views
If the same people claiming it was suspicious weren't the same ones calling for him to be fired random thoughts - 11/05/2017 05:50:12 PM 360 Views
But the firing doesn't affect the investigation Tom - 11/05/2017 07:04:01 PM 273 Views
Seriously you are saying firing the person in charge of an investigation does not affect the Roland00 - 11/05/2017 09:23:38 PM 386 Views
I can't point to a single piece of evidence that you can see, but I can point to evidence that is in Roland00 - 11/05/2017 05:33:32 AM 355 Views

No I can't argue against a negative Roland00 - 11/05/2017 04:45:18 AM 310 Views
I'm only surprised it didn't happen earlier Tom - 10/05/2017 03:56:10 PM 329 Views
Doesn't that feel like The Point? nossy - 10/05/2017 06:39:00 PM 342 Views
How can Trump prove a negative, though? Tom - 14/05/2017 09:52:47 PM 376 Views
Indeed it does. And a lot of people rather doubt Trump would nominate someone like that. Legolas - 10/05/2017 08:00:53 PM 422 Views
That op-ed was a complete waste of time to read Tom - 11/05/2017 07:21:15 PM 274 Views
You should be glad I didn't go with the Guardian's take then. Legolas - 11/05/2017 08:00:32 PM 339 Views
I think you're full of shit, too. Tom - 12/05/2017 06:25:59 AM 269 Views

The drama isn't coming from the White House, though Tom - 17/05/2017 07:48:34 PM 333 Views
The drama is coming from two sources. Both of them located, at least in part, in the White House. Legolas - 17/05/2017 09:02:15 PM 611 Views
