His point is you fight back with spooks and cyberweapons - not freakin’ lawyers.

The American government has become an international joke.

I view McCarthy as I do Limbaugh - authorized dissent. McCarthy is a DOJ/FBI insider, so will put the best construction on everything DOJ/FBI does, to the point of absurdity.

Again, where are the charges against Mexico, and upwards of 30 million people squatting on our land?
*****************
Foolish and warmongering to view the disguised expression of political opinion by only 13 Russians as the equivalent of a declaration of war. But for the disguises, their activities would have been legal. And what about the Chinese snooping? The illegal voting by many more Mexicans, fostered by their paid enablers?

How are the Russians also not protected by the First Amendment?

He spent several months trying to defend the prosecutors and the government claiming they would never ever do such a thing because they are all fine upstanding people.

At least in a recent column on that note, he ended it with 3 words.

“I was wrong”

It was a click-bait commercial marketing scheme to make money, nothing more.

I suggest long ago that it’s far more likely that Israel was the ones doing the snooping.

Now, I’m of the opinion that pretty much every intelligence agency in the world had access to the DNC and Hillarys server.

we just haven’t seen the proof of that since everyone is all Russia, Russia, Russia.

Oh look. Someone (who had been expecting Hillary to win) engaged in penny ante activism for Donald Trump.

Heh. I doubt the foreign activism was pro-Trump. My point is that Mueller isn't after the penny ante, routine offender. Mueller is facilitating the disruption of Trump's legitimate win. If he can't hurt Trump directly, he'll feed the anti-Trump narrative, as well as Hillary's narrative that the Russians at least preferred and helped Trump, and probably cost her the election.

And it isn't just Hillary's narrative. The press, all the DEM politicians, half the GOP politicians, and a majority of the regulatory state aims to undo the election results.

Does anyone think the Hillary campaign and the DNC did not collude with “undocumented” Mexican and Central American nationals, who frequently engage in identity theft and in defrauding the United States for tax credits and other benefits, in order to organize protests calling Trump a racist and to support Hillary during the presidential election?

For the Ruling Class, it’s always and only about “who” and “whom.”

You are correct. If placing a few ads and trying to set up a rally are "levying war" then we are getting attacked from all sides. The British with BBC, the French, the Canadians, and millions of illegal immigrants are "levying war."

In that context 13 internet trolls are just a drop in the bucket. And from a fraud point of view, using false documents to set up bank or Paypal accounts is something that happens thousands of times a day in the illegal immigrant community.

For every Russian posting nonsense to divide our nation, we probably have 100 non-citizens posting messages to help their point of view, or donating time to campaigns, or marching with signs in favor of one candidate or another.

When do you think Mueller is going to indict them?

Why of course. It’s like magnitude means nothing.

Depends on what they do and how they do it, but FEC and FARA are the hooks.

Your rights are limited too, when it comes to electioneering. Dollar limits.

He's often wrong. Authorized dissent. Soft landing.

He still credits the Obama administration with the possibility of justified paranoia that Trump is a tool of the Russians.

Bingo. Plus crank up the stupid Americans for entertainment. Same game the press plays.

The Rosenstein indictments were timed to take the heat off the FBI blowing the school shooter issue and to give the complicit MSM something else to chew on.
