I think this is a leap that is likely not supportable with any evidence. But if this sort of thing bothers you, than you shouldn't be able to sleep knowing the friendly relationship between the Nunes led "investigation" in the House and the White House.

Of course. It's preferable. But I'm not assuming the result of the investigation was junk just because it was done by FBI. That's just nuts to me. Part of that has to do with the FBI findings being exactly as I said they would be a year ago: guilty of bad judgement, rule and statutory...

I prefer independent counsels.

but, but, but one of those FBI Republicans resigned from a Donald Trump Golf club seven years ago. Obviously, that's very suspicious behavior. :D

I am very much a believer in as much transparency as possible. The problem for me is I have no way of knowing of course what the NSA, CIA, and FBI are doing behind closed doors, other than the little bits that occasionally leak. I was just as unhappy about the NSA communications monitoring...

That's not a bad example! Here is another: "Jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge will harm you." [no nuance]

Grow Up!

This isn't even an arguable point. Saying that "The Justice department and the FBI exposed themselves during the campaign to be colluding with the Clintons" is delusional. There has never been the slightest evidence of such! A prudent person would not even say, " the Trump campaign colluded...

Very perceptive. Not many would have caught that. I am calling attention go the use of the term "memo" in this specific instance. mem·o ˈmemō/ noun informal noun: memo; plural noun: memos a written message

Not exactly. I thought those who were wanting football players who were kneeling during the national anthem to be fired were missing the point, and behaving ironically. I haven't changed my opinion on that. Let the owners take up the issue at contract time I say. And then take it to the...

We really would need to, and perhaps we will. I'm perfectly OK with letting a disinterested third party decide, such as the courts. But release of only partial information by a non-disinterested party is definitely suspicious. Let's not fall for it.

I have made up my mind, but my opinion is not necessarily fact, and I remain open to new information that would convince me that I am wrong. When I am clearly wrong, I have no problem admitting it. I've had lots of practice making mistakes over the years. I haven't made up my mind re the so...

A problem here is the Democrat members of the committee are claiming that the memo the committee voted to release mentions only part of the evidence presented to the FISA court. They are claiming that there was additional evidence presented that would be supportive of the FISA courts decision...

Probably premature to reach the "shady and illegal" conclusion . Lets wait until we see the memo and give the other side a chance to respond. All we have so far is accusation and counter accusation from biased sources and innuendo without access to any of the material evidence. I'd like to...

The mere fact that Devin Nunes, chair of the House committee, is in regular communication with the White House is inappropriate behavior. The investigative body is supposed to be independent of the parties being investigated.

Yes that was another major difference. Had it not been so, one wonders whether the Congress of the early seventies would have colluded directly with the White House in an effort to save the President. We can't know the answer to that question of course, but if I had to guess, I would think it...

This stuff is reminiscent of 1972-4 period in the course it is taking, with at least one major difference. In the seventies scandal, though Republicans were slow to jump on the impeachment bandwagon, and they defended the President early on, there was no large scale, overt effort of the House...

Has anyone checked out China. Supposedly 100 percent of their bikes are hand-built and can be had for a fraction of the price of U.S. hand-built bikes. And the cheating is equal on both sides. Electric welding machines are used in both countries, and still it's claimed they are hand built...

This is normal and legal funding of a political campaign. If you are not happy with it, you should help elect politicians that will back a Constitutional amendment that can close down unlimited contributions via PACs. The innuendo is that since McCabes wife who is was a minor State politician...
