The GOP’s increasing embrace of Trump’s Russia conspiracy theory (it's not a theory)

I can’t imagine the uproar had this been a Republican attempt to overthrow the election...

This is an amazing exercise to witness. What an f’d-up mess our press has become.

>>>“There was no attempted ‘coup,’” Baker said <<<

That may be technically accurate, but he needs to fully explain to a Grand Jury the predicate for his surveillance operation on the 2016 Trump campaign.

[A strike]

“How do you plead Mr.Simpson ?”

“Absolutely 100% not guilty.”

[kabar]

Yeah, just ignore the Strzok-Page texts, the phony FISA warrant(s), Nellie Ohr, the Steele Dossier, McCabe, the unmaskings, Halper, Mifsud, etc.

[kabar]

If you read the Baker transcript of his testimony before Congress, you will be amazed to read his assertion that it was plausible to believe that Putin ordered Trump to fire Comey. I wonder why more was not made of this.

[eyeamok]

Lawyer in charge of attempted coup, denies it was illegal??

[Steve_Seattle]

There’s more evidence for the theory that the Deep State was working against Trump than there is for the theory that Trump was working for the Russians. Why are they afraid to investigate this? Can’t do any harm, can it? At any rate, it can’t do any more harm than falsely accusing the president of treason for three years.

[Kozy]

First question, Jimbo, where is the evidence? None, then shut up.

[Truthoverpower]

Clear felonies were committed

What trump is doing is brilliant

Do nothing let them talk and talk

Then you have lots to work with when it goes to COURT

Furthermore right now politics doesn’t mean anything- next summer this time it will mean a lot. 2020.

Our great and wonderful president Donald J Trump plays the long game

The term “running dog press” was coined with the Compost in mind.

“There was no attempted ‘coup,’” Baker said at the Brookings Institution. “There was no way in hell that I was going to allow some coup or coup attempt to take place on my watch.”

And "I Strzok myself in front of Liza-rd" said he would never let politics get in the way of professionalism...as he smirked at the cameras.
