Live thread for info and reaction to the Memo release
If you “take them on” - they get you 6 ways from Sunday.
If you don’t “take them on” - they get you a half-dozen ways from Sunday.
Our top law enforcement has become a clear and present danger, a domestic enemy, to the citizens of this country, and Chuckie nonchalantly announces they’re untouchable?
Comey truly believes in the big lie. Carter Page himself pointed out many times he was under investigation and in his opinion being persecuted simply for having good Russian connections (mainly academic).
an epic threat to a democracy
“Session Praised Rosenstein this morning. There are no words to explain my Hated for this Benedict Arnold Traitor.”
I’d like to see that for myself. Do you have a link?
For anything to happen we need an Attorney General, and this very morning Session Praised Rosenstein. That tells you his intent is to do Nothing. It’s all up to Trump to Fire Sessions.
Sessions said #2 Rosenstein and #3 (some woman) were the type of quality and leadership we want to have in this department. It wasn’t praise specifically for Rosenstein (it was for both) and it wasn’t very effusive.
“Sessions said #2 Rosenstein and #3 (some woman) were the type of quality and leadership we want to have in this department. It wasnt praise specifically for Rosenstein (it was for both) and it wasnt very effusive”.
Rosenstein Lied to the FISA Court..Sessions should have fired him, not Praised him.
what about Rosenweiner? or rosenstink. this could be the subject of a major namimg contest... did you find that rosenweasel meme?
Sessions might be able to fire Rosenstein, I don’t the rules for that case. But if he has that ability, your suggestion that it should be done with just one side of the story (the memo), I would disagree. There has to a be a process for firing, but also a process for prosecution (for Rosenstein). Those will take time.
Agree. It was those plus Apple, Apple,Apple that I finally got enough - not why I was tuning in to listen to him.
Rosenstein LIED to a FISA Judge. Its a clear cut crime, fire his ass.
i love it.hillarious

Rosenstein is alleged to have lied. There’s a memo detailing the allegations. The memo is not enough to convict. The crime needs to be properly investigated, probably requiring another counsel, then he can be sentenced. Just as importantly they can reform FISA to make it harder to abuse, or dump the secret FISA court and use regular courts.
What does it all mean? My TV won’t connect to Comcast so I can’t foolow release of memo. Was it released without redactions?
I looked for it on YouTube - no luck.
Frankly, it means nothing even if he did praise him.
In business and politics people say good things about those they have no respect for all the time. Watch C Span - senators who hate each other’s guts will still refer to each other as “my very close friend and esteemed colleague, the honerable so and so.”
I think history will judge Jeff Sessions kindly, and some day when everything is known about what he did or didn’t do, the Sessions-haters on FR are going to look foolish and mean spirited.
The Cliff Note version.
The memo proves what we’ve been saying for almost a year. The Dem funded ‘dossier’ was fraudulently used to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump associates.
And if you watch CNN, Rosenstein is minutes away from being fired by Trump.
I only read an NPR (untrustworthy) piece so I don’t know what Sessions actually said. But you are right, respect for the law goes with respect for fellow humans, even the worst criminal. But respect for the law and all law-abiding Americans means prosecutng the guilty but doihg it properly.
