It’s a victory for us that will remain only with us.

LOL...What a bizarre comment...

What is more important, a victory and vindication for Trump and his supporters? Or one where the left admits the obvious?

??

In his mind, he is not guilty, he only uses swamp lingo - “plausible deniability”. If you are backed into a corner, you must say “I don’t recollect that”, or “I don’t remember specifics”, etc. At any rate, never tell the truth unless it helps yourself our your point of view...

Btw, why did you evade the pertinent questions at #19?

The anti-Trumpsters will never admit it’s a victory.

You're not whistling Dixie. It's everywhere on this forum. Every time Trump wins, the negative comments, and those who attempt to discredit and malign these victories come out of the woodwork.

Because that is how Frolls Roll, they have to chip away at victories as they want a few “scalps” and then leave the apparatus alone so they can get back to their real motivation...

Keeping it alive just with different players

I see what they do and call it out at every instance, such is the nature of the Free Republic Troll Squad AKA Frolls

“The former FBI director puts great weight on yet another distinction that is laughable by any reasonable standard. He says that the Trump campaign wasn’t being investigated, just four people associated with it. But this wasn’t a coincidence. It wasn’t as though they were all under investigation for disparate, random things. The FBI was probing whether they were conspiring with Russia over the 2016 election. To pretend this had nothing to do with the campaign is completely ridiculous.”

To expand on that excellent point just a bit: Who does DJT trust? If he were to have been conspiring with Russia would he be doing it through peripheral figures like Carter Page and George Papadopolous? Or would be be more likely to have used — oh, I don’t know — Rudy Giuliani (just to pick a name)?

And let’s not forget the clumsy way the FBI attempted to roll George P. up in a currency violation (the $10,000 ‘fee’ that an intermediary handed him for consultation). Had P not left the money in Greece he would be sitting in jail right now and the Dems would be incrementally closer to making an apparent case against Trump.

It’s almost like watching MSNBC.

Very depressing. Thank God, President is an optimist, as I am.

If the FBI wanted to investigate just the four people, they could have done it with regualar warrants. These people were just used to get a FISA warrant with its two-op surveillance permission. Nearly every person in the Trump circle, up to and including Trump, could be caught up in it. They were probably already being spied on, but the evildoers in the FBI, CIA etc. needed something to make it legal.

A very, very long prison term is in order. This must not be allowed to pass.

And we have been given a gift. An opportunity to right the ship. The question: are we smart enough to realize it and affect change. Answer: apparently not. If not then it is only a matter of time before the system collapses like it did for the Roman Empire. Maybe a couple of generations.

The good news is that a lot of us are paying attention so maybe there is hope.

Ultimately the Ukraine corruption will make the house bank crooks look like pikers.

Lowery can shove this paragraph...

“It’s important to give credit to Comey for at least admitting that his previous fulsome statements defending the FISA process were wrong. He’s also on strong ground pushing back against the over-the-top charges against the FBI by the president and his defenders, often put in absurdly inflammatory terms. (Trump just the other day referred to former FBI officials as “scum.”)”

He is NOT on any strong ground for anything. He is total scum.

‘’Nailed?’’ Nailed is when Comey is found in the trunk of a car bound with duct tape and three .22 slugs in the head.

"Maybe if you watched the Barr interview from last week you would see what he is doing."
I did watch the interview you mention, what I SAW was the same guy pushing the stand around and do nothing BS.

Why would I believe a guy that has evidence of a criminal act being performed at the highest level and the perp is still collecting a salary? Rosenstien and Comey signed false FISA applications and performed a fraud on a corrupt judge, Rod is collecting his retirement at this moment. Comey is making the rounds on TV rather than sitting in jail.

Anyone can continue to be Charlie Brown in this clown act that chooses to ignore the facts that are in front of us.

If you did the same things, you would be in jail.

Barr is slow walking this in the hope that President Trump will either lose the election or be removed from office with Impeachment.

Barr is deep state.

I think you should watch it again. This time turn on the sound.

I will take your advice and watch the interview again, if you will do the same and turn on your critical thinking skills.
