/s for sarcasm

It's funny that Hillary has been investigated 9 times by multiple different people and she still hasn't been charged with.. anything. At all. They've wasted 10's of millions of Taxpayer dollars on this farce. Whereas Trump has been in Office for.. What? 18 months or some such now? And half his Campaign team already have Guilty Pleas and Plea Deals. AND his personal Attorney just got his shit busted in by a No-Knock FBI Raid because someone showed a Judge, INTERVIEWED BY TRUMP and appointed by Jeff Sessions, some VERY damning evidence. So think about that before you keep up with the crap.

If this was true, you guys would be advocating to see the evidence she destroyed (deleted emails, hammered blackberries etc.) would actually educate yourself about russian ties from the clintons and obama and would actually inquire about Seth Rich.

But alas you dont, you can fake apathy towards clinton all you want, the moment we even mention her name you guys screech "whataboutism" and "her emails" so you are essentially shilling for her, even if you are sheepingly blissfully unaware or pretend to be.

None of the words you used mean what you think they mean. That's the only explanation for this diatribe.

Reset and try again.

Those Medallions cost a LOT of fucking money.

They're worth less now than they have been in the past, but, yes. It might be a semi-soft asset.

Is this from the Stormy Daniels sex tape?

Millions have been spent on this "russian stole muh election" hoax, and they've become so desperate that they have to raid trumps lawyer in an effort to find dirt on him having slept with a pornstar and using the lawyer seemingly paying her to keep her mouth shut as a pretext. Just shows the level of desperation and the credibility of the Trump-russia collusion hysteria.

[Katsutomai]

Oh, one more thing.. Not only did someone have to show a Judge some very damning evidence it also had to be signed off on by 3 other VERY powerful people besides him.

[Breccia]

Calls are increasing on the Hill for legislation that protects Mueller, or more accurately, protects any special investigator, from being fired.

Maybe this time, it'll stick. Or maybe the GOP will shoot themselves in the midterm again.

Hoax, you say? How many RUSSIAN indictments have there been so far? 15 was the last count, right? Or was it 19? I can't keep track anymore. And more than half our Justice systems are saying that there was Russian interference, but.. They are all bought and paid for by Soros and Hillary and Obama, right? It's like you Trumplicans couldn't see the evidence if it was thrown at you from all sides 24/7 365.

Not to mention literal SANCTIONS PUT IN PLACE BECAUSE OF IT.

Cornyn directly warns Trump not to fire Mueller.

“I don't think the president's going to fire him because I think it would be a big mistake,” he told The Hill.

Pressed on the consequences, the No. 2 Senate Republican urged Trump to let Mueller continue his probe into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election and potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Moscow.

“I don't think he or I or anybody could predict what the consequences might be but there would be a lot of backlash, so I think he should just let Mr. Mueller do his job,” he said.

Cornyn was one of several Republicans on Tuesday who doubled down on warnings that Trump leave Mueller alone.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said it would be “suicide” to fire the former FBI director. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), downplaying Trump’s comments, told CNN that “thematically, he has said similar things before.”

Cornyn separately told reporters that lawmakers have warned the White House that it would be a mistake to fire Mueller.

“I think it's pretty universally being conveyed,” he said.

Ok, fine, let's play your game....

Let's say Clinton is guilty of EVERYTHING you believe she is guilty of. Throw under the jail and kill her. Ok?

What does that have to do with what Trump is doing now? How does that in anyway detract from the fact Trump is in serious amounts of trouble right now? How does that detract from so many of his associates being indicted?

You're using the term hoax incorrectly. Yet another word that doesn't mean what you think it means.

Also, a Trump appointed, and personally interviewed by Trump himself, district attorney made the call on this. Your narrative amounts to little more than a tantrum. That's a shame.

Time for you to reset and try again.

More clarifications now: Trump's pick didn't authorize the raid. Trump's pick was recused.

"He recused himself?"

No, Rosenstein did it. Berman played no role in the raid or its authorization.

When the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York was asked to clarify, he said "I don't exist. Berman is an interim since Jan 3, replacing Kim who was acting since March 2017, in the role. There is no permanent replacement for Preet Bharara."

And now, the Trump Organization is on the hit list.

Politely. For now.

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday requested records from the Trump Organization connected to his personal lawyer Michael Cohen's payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The request is tied to the FBI raid of Cohen's office on Monday, which saw the seizure of emails, tax documents, and records related to his payment to Daniels in order to prevent her from speaking out about her alleged affair with President Trump in 2006.

The Trump Organization said in a statement to The Hill the company would comply with the appropriate authorities.

“We do not generally comment on such matters, but have and will continue to comply with inquiries from proper authorities," a spokesperson said.

The Journal previously reported that Jill Martin, an attorney for the Trump Organization, was involved in the legal efforts to attempt to block Daniels from speaking out against her alleged affair with the president.

Martin is listed as a counsel in legal documents for an arbitration demand by a company created by Cohen, according to The Journal.

What do you mean "Rosenstein did it"? From what I've read Rosenstein approved his recusal.

Also, what is your source for the quote?

What do you mean "Rosenstein did it"? From what I've read Rosenstein approved his recusal.

Berman, named in January as an interim replacement to fill the post formerly held by Preet Bharara who Trump dismissed last year, was disqualified by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, said the person who is not authorized to comment publicly.

ABC News is saying basically the same thing.

And there is not yet any public knowledge that Berman recused himself.

Also, what is your source for the quote?

"I don't exist" quotes aren't real. People who don't exist, can't say things. I use them to demonstrate that the role is not filled, such as the large number of empty diplomatic spots. In this case, I was clarifying that Berman isn't a permanent filler of that role.

Seems a little too early to make a determination on whether he recused himself, or whether he was disqualified.

I get what you're trying to do with the fake quotes but you probably shouldn't do that directly after citing and quoting a news article. Seems like a perfectly likely thing someone would say sarcastically. thus my confusion.

[Breccia]

There is evidence of the latter. There is no evidence of the former. Until more evidence comes forward I'm comfortable with how I read this.

"I don't exist" is a long-time running joke. It's also something nobody would realistically say. Not taking the blame for this one.

Not exactly a beacon of investigative journalism. It's dated yesterday and no traction on it from anywhere credible. Unsealed court records would be a national news story.
