"How many times will people extremely desperate to block out cogent legal analysis of the issue whine and complain trying to hide this?"

You ought to get your drug habit under control, it's making you say such foolish things.

Democrats may regret Sessions’ recusal, as his replacement is a mini-Sessions: a long-respected, a-political, highly ethical prosecutor, Dana Boente, whose reputation is well-warranted from his service at the Tax Division, and who won’t be limited by any perceived ties to Trump, given his prior appointment by Obama. Obama himself appeared scared of Boente, as he removed Boente from the successor-to-Sessions position during the lame-duck part of Obama’s presidency, but Trump restored Boente to that role earlier this month. Democrats may get the investigation they wanted, but it may be their own that end up named in the indictment.

I owe Mr. Boente a huge apology since I impugned his integrity the other day. Guilty by virtue of being an Obama appointee and not knowing the facts about the man. Sic them Dana.

Alas, your reading skills fall short again. Not only were you in such a hurry to harass a poster that you failed to pay attention to the first comment...you also were in such a frenzy to avoid having to face a mistake that you imagined something in my post that wasn’t there.

I never said who posted the article or the post. Your psychosis invented it to avoid you having to face your error.

Gday

It was a lot more than twice, so your question is irrelevant.

Anyway, I’ve hardly ever objected to seeing an article re-posted here, but by the 5th or 6th time it sure does get tedious.

Site policy is that before posting an article people are supposed to do a search, and avoid duplicating material already posted. I think the main concern is to limit the server loads, but also not to have numerous separate comment threads on the same article.

Your issue with with the mods, not with me. I merely referred to what I have seen to be the site’s policy for the 16 years or so that I have been around FR.

Not all of us are here 24/7 and therefore don’t see everything.

The server loads explanation makes sense.

You are confused, seriously.

Go back and look at #1 and #2 comments.

drewh who posted the article/thread is not the one who noted it had been posted previously.

Don’t insult people when you have no idea wtf you’re talking about.

The extent of damage done- who knows?

Obama administration had restrictions on NSA reversed in 2011

Credit where credit is due.

You made it clear that you don’t want this article being widely read. Nothing in your post would suggest why.

A very good article. I wish this quality of writing was everywhere in the media.

Yes it is, but not a whole lot of people know the whole context of the matter. 90% of the people still believe Nixon ordered the break in to win an election. My as well put that myth on their buddy, Obama, who probably did break the law to win an election.

Your reasoning skills are so defective that you attribute your false beliefs to me. FR policy is that one article should not be posted 5+ times.

I’m certainly glad for this article to be “widely read” — in fact I circulated it today to my own sizable email list. Your statements are false because you don’t know how to think clearly and with rigor. You make unwarranted assumptions.

Obama, the Constitutional lawyer, should know that.

Oh, brother. Where to begin.

Your issue with with the mods, not with me.


In that case your issue is with the mods and not the poster. I have not seen you “ping’ a Moderator. You might do that.

How many times will this article be posted?

Until I, a long-time FReeper, find it and get to read it. Works for me.

Remember:

Obama wiretapped the parents of Fox News’s James Rosen — with no legal authority that I know of.

He illegally used the IRS to punish political opponents.

He illegally used an executive order to give amnesty to “Dreamers” — a power even he admitted he didn’t have.

He and Eric Holder intervened ion the ongoing case against the New Black panthers to end the prosecution — after the Bush Administration had essentially gotten them convicted.

So why wouldn’t hve wiretap Trump, with or without a warrant?
