"The F.B.I. used an informant to investigate Russia ties to Trump's campaign, not to spy, as Trump claims."
"Oh. That's very different."
"Never mind."
How far we have fallen...
Ethically, (if one can still use that term when referring to the FBI), the DOJ should have informed Trump of what it was up to. It did not. It was forced to reveal its involvement in the campaign only after it was outed in the media. Thus, this NYTimes article is as specious as any I can recall in my lifetime.
Brennan "Needs Very Good Lawyer" Says DiGenova; "He's Going To Be In Front Of A Grand Jury Shortly"
We spied, but please don’t think of it as spying.
Sure it was a presidential candidate, and if we’d do it to him, we’d do ever so much worse to the common man, but don’t think of it that way.
You’re such a great citizen and we have so much respect for you.
These people are jerks, and they insult us to our face.
I have come to despise the ilk that think like this in Washington, D. C. and elsewhere.
C’mon NY TIMES put a name (FirstName_LastName) and quit hiding behind “the informant.”
The FBI press release made it through the NYT UNALTERED.
The NYT knows the SHTF when the Inspector General’s report comes out this week. So they are trying like mad to help the DNC by spinning their spying on the Trump campaign as being a good thing. Lotsa luck, Losers.
"Oh. That's very different."
"Never mind."
...Except that there were no Russia ties and no reasonable indication that there might be Russia ties...ya know...that sort of thing...
Hillary is going to REALLY get the vapors when she finds out the FIB knew all about Trump's ties to Russia DURING the campaign but didn't come out with it until AFTER the election!
Oop. Upp. Wait. Exactly what did The FIB informant learn about Trump's ties to Russia during the campaign.
I'm not going to click on the link. Somebody just give me the bullet points.
Spy v investigate. I say spy.
The Slimes is getting into some really creative lying posing as news to protect Obama and his DOJ/FBI/CIA
“Law enforcement officials have refused, saying that handing over the documents would imperil both the source’s anonymity and safety.”
This is the REAL scandal here.
Law enforcement officials refusing to subject themselves to the authority of the US Congress. They act as if they are an authority unto themselves.
We have intelligence agencies and the DOJ refusing the authority of BOTH the Congress and the Executive.
This Republic will not survive unless these people are crushed.
Crushed.
Executions for Sedition are in order.
Following this logic, ...
Commie liberals need to be hanged to prevent them from harming themselves.
Even Orwell would be overwhelmed by this doublespeak.
It’s like we live in The Snake Pit and are forced to believe any inmate who grabs a microphone, and then their insanity somehow becomes legislated.
You say potato, I say potahto.
Benedict Arnold merely “investigated” for the British.
FBI liars are lying to New York Times liars who are trying to lie to the rest of us... Sorry Charlie - we’re on to your games.
