Thomas Friedman: no evidence of Trump/Russia collusion, ‘which is why we need a special prosecutor’
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/05/2017 12:02:41 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

One of Rush Limbaugh’s classic maxims is that when it comes to liberals’ demands for investigations, it’s not the nature of the evidence; it’s the seriousness of the charge that matters.

Thomas Friedman provided a perfect illustration of Rush’s rule on today’s Meet the Press. Discussing the notion that the Trump campaign might have colluded with the Russians regarding the 2016 election, Friedman said “I agree: there is no evidence, which is why we need a special prosecutor or an independent commission to get to the bottom of it.”

Thomas Friedman: no evidence of Trump/Russia collusion, ‘which is why we need a special prosecutor’

NO EVIDENCE, NO CONNECTION but spend MILLIONS of [taxpayer] dollars on a Special Prosecutor?? To do what? Manufacture evidence??

This whole thing is nothing less than an effort by the dems, led by the usurper in chief, Hussein 0bama, to effect a coup d'etat!

“...there is no evidence, which is why we need a special prose to get to the bottom of it.”

Can anyone name the last time a special prosecutor or an independent commission got to the bottom of anything?

Drunks have been loudly shouting outside my door late at night, leaving garbage and waking me up. I have no evidence that Thomas Friedman is one of them but we need to have him investigated by the local DA because he MIGHT have been there.

President Trump: thank you for going on the attack against Obama’s band of communist subversives.

Clearly, you have exposed a well organized conspiracy to engage in sedition.....impanel the Grand Jury....prosecute to the full extent of the law violation of ALL applicable federal statutes.

....keep posting on Twitter so we can remain informed, and go into battle with you against these domestic enemies of the Constitution.

Trying to DISPROVE a negative is infinitely more difficult that trying to PROVE a negative. It would require differential analysis on a quantum [entanglement] computation device. The type of device that does not exist.

Absolute insanity talk.

No evidence Friedman is a child molester. So I guess we need a special prosecutor for that, too.
