For that kind of money, we should be able to get rid of some of our malcontent or disreputable citizens too. Might be the best money we’ve ever spent!

Nah, Nancy and Chuck will charge a lot more.

Maybe it is time to refer to Chuck and Nancy as a unit. We could call them Chancy.

If that's what you really think, you need to cut back on the Fox News.

I watch more CNN and ABC than Fox. I just don't let any of them dictate what I think.

Watching CNN, the all-Trump, all-the-time network, I often see innuendo discussed as fact. It usually goes something like this:

Wolf: There is no evidence that Donald Trump is raping the female White House staffers. But if he was, there would likely be a videotape of it somewhere that is currently being suppressed. Fred, what do you think should happen if that videotape comes to light?

Fred(or whoever): Certainly that would be grounds for impeachment, Wolf. Evidence of our President committing felonies needs to be taken seriously.

Wolf: Let's go to our legal experts to find out how they think this should be handled. Marty?

Marty(or whoever): Certainly, this would rise to the level of a High Crime. The American people deserve a president who is not a rapist.

After a couple of hours of this discussion of the President being indicted for rape, everybody forgets it all started with "There is no evidence".

Pay attention to these phrases next time you listen to CNN, Lad:

"There is no evidence"

We don't know if he did this or not, but...

There could be evidence...

There might be evidence...

It is reasonable to assume...

Everybody knows...

And so forth.

Then next time somebody says he is not a rapist, don't accuse them of watching too much Fox.

Get where you're coming from on the Cable News Network . . . but do the last seven days of SDNY and Mueller filings, the AMI agreement with SDNY and this morning's tweets from the White House give you pause regarding where this is heading?

Cohen's "path of darkness" and "dirty deeds" confined to the vagaries of campaign finance laws?

Inferno: Canto I
Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.
Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say
What was this forest savage, rough, and stern,
Which in the very thought renews the fear.

Yes, it does, but not in the way I think you mean.



Clearly (that's another CNN favorite phrase), this is now openly a "Get Trump" investigation, and I fear that "getting" him will derail all the good stuff he is doing for America. I think if we had a "Get AusOwl" or "get OO" investigation that was equally determined to bring us down, they would be find what they need or manufacture it. What have we uncovered so far in the nature of collusion with russia? Zip, zero nada. Collusion was always a fever dream for the left anyway. n excuse to dig into anything and anyone to try and find something, anything.

This witch hunt is destroying America, which is fine with the left as long as it destroys Trump. he committed the crime of winning against Hillary. Not allowed.

As for CNN, it is a willing co-conspirator in this project. I listen to it to see what the conspiracy theorists are thinking. So far, they think there was a conspiracy.

Now, tell me where you think Cohen's path leads the country? What wrong is going to be set right?

Destroying America is fine with the left, as long as they get to impose their socialist/communist/redistributionist/collectivist scheme upon us.

At least this witch hunt has found some legitimate witches!

With that said, at what point will y’all stop calling it a witch hunt? There’s now been court filings that clearly show crimes were committed by those in the inner Trump circle. Should we just ignore said crimes and not investigate them because they relate to the president?

I too agree that CNN is way too focused on Trump.

But with all of the information that’s come out this week, I’ve got no idea how anyone can keep calling this a witch hunt. I bet these people would have said the prosecution of Al Capone was a witch hunt too. I mean, all he did was not pay his taxes!

Because the hunt is for Russian collusion, not to demonstrate that people around Trump have not been lily pure. I bet if we investigated the DNC is a similar way, we would find crimes have been committed. Would you take that bet/

No witch hunt in history has failed to find witches. Look up Salem, Mass. Look up McCarthy, Joe.

It is really very stupid to say this is what the investigation was looking for.

So exactly what is "all of the information that's come out this week"? What do we know today that we didn't know a week ago?

This week was about confirming a lot of things in the court of law and cementing their truthfulness.

AMI admitted to paying McDougall not to talk.

Quote:AMI admitted that it made the $150,000 payment in concert with a candidate’s presidential campaign, and in order to ensure that the woman did not publicize damaging allegations about the candidate before the 2016 presidential election

And the cherry is that Cohen admitted to committing a crime in coordination with Trump.

Quote: "In particular, and as Cohen himself has now admitted, with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of Individual-1."

Russia related, Marina Butina plead guilty in federal court for conspiracy to act as an illegal foreign agent in the United States.

Quote:Butina, 30, was accused of working to infiltrate Republican political circles through groups such as the National Rifle Association to bolster Russian interests.
Butina said she acted "under direction of" a Russian official whom CNN has identified as Alexander Torshin, the recently retired deputy governor of the Central Bank of Russia.
"Butina sought to establish unofficial lines of communication with Americans having power and influence over US politics," the prosecutor said in a Washington courtroom.

Well this is the first time I've learned that actual witches were found in the Salem witch trials. Interesting.

Wolf: There is no evidence that Donald Trump is raping the female White House staffers. But if he was, there would likely be a videotape of it somewhere that is currently being suppressed. Fred, what do you think should happen if that videotape comes to light?

Fred(or whoever): Certainly that would be grounds for impeachment, Wolf. Evidence of our President committing felonies needs to be taken seriously.

Wolf: Let's go to our legal experts to find out how they think this should be handled. Marty?

Marty(or whoever): Certainly, this would rise to the level of a High Crime. The American people deserve a president who is not a rapist.

After a couple of hours of this discussion of the President being indicted for rape, everybody forgets it all started with "There is no evidence".

Pay attention to these phrases next time you listen to CNN, Lad:

"There is no evidence"

We don't know if he did this or not, but...

There could be evidence...

There might be evidence...

It is reasonable to assume...

Everybody knows...

And so forth.

Then next time somebody says he is not a rapist, don't accuse them of watching too much Fox.

Get where you're coming from on the Cable News Network . . . but do the last seven days of SDNY and Mueller filings, the AMI agreement with SDNY and this morning's tweets from the White House give you pause regarding where this is heading?

Cohen's "path of darkness" and "dirty deeds" confined to the vagaries of campaign finance laws?

Inferno: Canto I
Midway upon the journey of our life
I found myself within a forest dark,
For the straightforward pathway had been lost.
Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say
What was this forest savage, rough, and stern,
Which in the very thought renews the fear.

I too agree that CNN is way too focused on Trump.

But with all of the information that’s come out this week, I’ve got no idea how anyone can keep calling this a witch hunt. I bet these people would have said the prosecution of Al Capone was a witch hunt too. I mean, all he did was not pay his taxes!

They set out to get him, and they got him. Not for what they wanted him for, but they got him.

Neither you nor I would survive a witch hunt into our lives like this.

No, I'm pretty darn confident that I would not be guilty of any felonies.

Such a spotless life you have led!!!!

After two interviews you would be guilty of lying to the FBI - IF you or an associate was the one they were out to get. The first interview, you say you had dinner about 8. The second one you say 8 or 8:30. Your friend says 7:45. Someone is lying. They choose you. Because, of course, they have no interest in NOT finding witches. Bada bing, you are making a p.ea deal to avoid bankruptcy and/or jail. Haven’t you been watching?

I will limit myself to my student days - underage drinking, DUI, some other things best not confessed to a liberal. Since then, I could not truthfully say that every cent of income was declared. Ever go to a casino and hit a $500 jackpot? Did you declare it?

Maybe you are not as spotless as you say. And the witch hunters will ferret those out, and twist them to seem worse.

I moved out of La La Land long ago. Let me know if there is an excess of gum drops in your neighborhood.

As I said - felony. Underage drinking is a misdemeanor, as well as are the other things most college students partake in (including a single DUI where no one is injured).

I never said I've never broken the law (I've definitely been stopped for speeding in my life), but I have not committed a felony. And I am confident about that.

I'm just surprised you're willing to be so nonchalant about someone committing felonies, only because you think they were out to be got. What if that person who was out to be got had investigations started because they did enough things wrong to warrant an investigation????

But they did not warrant an investigation until They associated with Trump. Then they dug up ten year old things or twisted things.
