    Uhm... there was a video posted, where even Hannity doesn’t deny it. He does, then goes to break, returns saying he checked his sources and said Trump had the right to fire Muller, so its a none issue. But... you do you...

    Obviously... you know me... we talk on here daily... how can you think of any reason I would mention Hannity, if not that it’s my news source... like I said... you do you...

    That's a different issue; that was about Trump trying to fire Mueller. This is about him trying to discredit witnesses that would back up Comey's testimony.

    To answer Ally's question: as I pointed out in the OP, this is a FP exclusive currently, so no, it hasn't been corroborated yet. And I'm okay with acknowledging that there may be some doubt, though I would point out that when the lawyer was asked about this, he said it was false but refused to say which details were wrong. Nevertheless, this is an accusation with huge implications if it is true, so it's worth keeping an eye on.

    I think pretty much everyone on here has acknowledged the caveat that this has to be substantiated. The OP certainly included that qualification. It does fit the pattern of what we know about Trump, but who knows if it is actually true.

    So we will see, you may actually be right on this one, we will see what Mueller thinks soon enough.

    Did you link to the wrong foreign policy media bias/fact check page on purpose? Or is it just general incompetence and obliviousness on your part?

Shame it was with people just as hopeless as he was.
    Let's put it this way. Your worst guy won to the worst person the dems put up. I don't think anyone can brag with "HA, our worst guy beat your worst guy, that means we're the best." That's like two high school football teams that haven't won a game all season and when one wins they act all smug like they're the best not coming in dead last.

    Perhaps both sides should actually put up candidates that aren't completely TNT fucking retarded.

    It's adorable though when you think Trump was a good candidate and a good president. It's like watching a child say their dad can beat up Superman, so innocent.

    ...oh, shit, didn't even notice. Yeah, Ally, own up to this or GTFO. FP is clearly unbiased by your own site's standards.

    The real one.
    To be fair, I’ll give him an out. If you search Foreign Policy, as two words and obviously without the extension, the site he gave was the first one of 8 pages of results. Searching as one word, results in 2 hits... adding the extension, gives you one.

    Indexing is shit... checking indexing for a site I don’t even work for... on a Saturday... you people make me sick...

    He doesn’t know to defend him self, because no one is @Allybeboba. His last mention was before the real links popped up. Plus, I posted above how he likely wasn’t malicious, just incompetent.

    Edit: lol I say the same about Trump.

    He gets no outs. Know why? Because he didn't read his own link. His own link explicitly tells him the site he is linking is not to be confused with the actual site used by the OP.

    It literally is telling him, "don't be stupid."

    You know, I'll give Trump this: We've needed an investigation like this for decades.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Oh, I totally agree. The out is just that he was lying intentionally. You are rights, this is incompetence.

    Yeah, I'm betting @Allybeboba is going to run from this thread like he ran from the last thread when it was proved that he was dead wrong about something related to sources.
