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.

The firing as such is one thing, but the timing raises major question marks. - 10/05/2017 07:29:57 AM 524 Views
What question marks? I know that is the talking point but they stop there - 10/05/2017 05:24:59 PM 423 Views
It doesn't necessarily have to be about Trump personally. - 10/05/2017 08:13:12 PM 579 Views

Mitch McConnell isn't worried, so I'm sure it's fine. *NM* - 10/05/2017 03:53:58 PM 274 Views
Sarcasm aside, have you seen even a shred of evidence that it was improper? - 10/05/2017 04:01:46 PM 504 Views
Are these like the "shreds of evidence" people threw up all over me about how corrupt Clinton is? - 10/05/2017 04:35:29 PM 467 Views
When did we start investigating a sitting president when there is zero recurrence her was involved? - 10/05/2017 05:34:50 PM 541 Views

Doesn't that feel like The Point? - 10/05/2017 06:39:00 PM 483 Views
How can Trump prove a negative, though? - 14/05/2017 09:52:47 PM 510 Views
Indeed it does. And a lot of people rather doubt Trump would nominate someone like that. - 10/05/2017 08:00:53 PM 550 Views
