yoink 321 #652 June 10, 2017 rushmc So where are you going with this? I'm not going anywhere with this other than to point out that your typical response to any post from someone who you classify as a 'liberal' is a knee-jerk refutation of their position, even if the response you post is utter nonsense and has no bearing in reality or even makes sense. That's all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tkhayes 348 #653 June 10, 2017 It is difficult for me to believe that you can be so ridiculously obtuse about the facts of what is being investigated. Comey stated it himself. Several agencies are investigating it. several investigations are going on because evidence has surfaced and allegations have been made. 'It' is the Russian hacking and possibly having an effect on the election. That is an investigation...it is not a crime...yet. However, there appears to be evidence that suggests that other in the USA, Americans...might have also been involved in that. So that is worth 'investigating' and may or may not be or even lead to a crime. However there is MOST CERTAINLY an investigation or two going on about all of that. NOT A CRIME....an investigation, which involved many many processes. Obstruction of justice is interfering with ANY of those processes, or even attempting to interfere with those processes, whether or not you are even successful or achieve any result in your interference. And if that investigation leads to the Trump campaign, then those people involved will be investigated....and so on, leading up the chain. until the investigation is complete, which may or may not lead to a crime, or crimes, or misguidance, or inappropriate behavior or ethics issues, or any other 100,000 conclusions that it might come to. When a body is found in the woods....there is no 'crime'...but there is an investigation leading to the answer to the reason there is a body in the woods. That may or may not actually lead to a 'crime'. However you can still obstruct the investigation of the body in the woods....which IS A CRIME. good grief...really.... are you actually that unaware of the definitions of what is going on or do you just enjoy baiting people? I expected better of you but will from now on lower my expectations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakee 1,594 #655 June 10, 2017 rushmcOk Then what judical proceding? We now know for sure Trump was not under investigation. Flynn. You remember Flynn, right? It's about Flynn. You remember Trump asking Comey to drop the Flynn investigation? It's about that. You remember the general investigation into the circumstances of Russian electioneering? It's about that. You remember Trump saying he fired Comey over the Russia investigation? It's about that. What kind of a person would think obstruction of justice could only apply if you obstructed an investigation that was specifically about you?Do you want to have an ideagasm?

You still have not figured it out. You can not intimidate me with your bull. So how about it. Since Obama was in charge during the hack attempts shouldnt the investigation look into what he allowed to happen? After all, he was incorrect when he said he had stopped it."America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

The investigation into the hacking is ongoing, no matter how much you (and people like you) want it to go away, and no matter how much you denied it during the election. There is now also an investigation into Trump personally, since he tried to interfere with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your house is ever broken into I hope that you demand the police stop trying to find the burglers, and instead investigate you for allowing your house to be burgled.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Remember when Obama told Putin to knock it off? ummm, they are the people that STARTED the investigation....not be part of the corruption. That is like saying - geez, should we investigate the cops for investigating that murder. I mean afterall, they are now part of the 'investigation'. Again, truly obtuse and baiting..... nice try though, i suppose.... for someone so disconnected from reality, and misunderstanding how even the most basic of organizational structures, like investigating crime, actually work. From my FB post this morning, in case you need further clarity into what we are investigating....as you have proclaimed on numerous occasions that it is somehow fake, not an investigation, not actually happening, not actually whatever it is....: QuoteJust in case there are still people out there wondering why we are investigating various links to Russia, here is the breakdown. Walks like a duck, talks like a duck...I expect there is a ton more to be uncovered, and I am confident in time that FBI and other agencies will conclude their investigations appropriately.

The other fact is for at least the first 6 years of the Obama admin we heard it was Bush's fault. Goose, gander????

The United States would NEVER stoop so low as to interfere with the electoral process of another nation. We have way too much integrity.
