“politicization of the Justice Department.”
yeah? wasn’t that on Trump’s “first hundred days” to-do list
- check it off as 'DONE"
I would be fine with this. Maybe they will be able to get to the bottom of the whole Oval Office blow job thing.
A few points I’d like to see a Democrat or a member of our dastardly liberal media bring up:
- Why is Canada, specifically the conservative PM/administration at the time this deal, escaping all scrutiny?
- If they’re so concerned about Russia owning this company now, why is our GOP Congress and Senate dragging their feet on the Trump/collusion investigation?
- Can we propose a new law that forbids foreign ownership of any US resource deemed vital to our nation’s security? I can think of a certain controversial pipeline that really shouldn’t be built though our most important groundwater aquifer. You think the same people working so hard to manufacture this fake scandal would be okay with this new law, or would they screech “government overreach!”, “too many regulations!”, and “tyranny!” like they usually do?
Nothing stopping concerned representatives writing to the Justice Department outlining the facts and their concerns, except the whole thing quickly falls apart with a modicum of scrutiny.
This is updated favorite old script (see Whitewater) that continues to be hugely popular with Republican’s credulous base.
One more article of impeachment…
“It is nothing but a false charge that the Trump administration is trying to drum up in order to avoid attention being drawn to them. I mean, even (Rep.) Trey Gowdy (R-SC), someone who is hardly a fan of mine, said that there doesn’t seem to be the basis for a special counsel,” she said. “Taking myself out of it, this is such an abuse of power and it goes right at the rule of law.”
Gowdy got his ass handed to him by Hillary on national tv and obviously wants no part in a rematch. Especially when he knows it’s all just utter bullshit.
" It will also send a terrible signal to our country and the world that somehow we are giving up on the kind of values that we used to live by and we used to promote worldwide,” she said. “I’m not concerned, because I know that there is no basis to it. I regret if they do it because it will be such a disastrous step into politicizing the justice system.”
That is precisely the attitude toward the law that Donald Trump has held and acted on his entire life. He is fundamentally an outlaw.
My bet is that the career prosecutors at the DOJ end up coming back to Sessions with a recommendation that no special counsel is called for – because there’s no evidence whatsoever that any actual crime has taken place, and because the alleged conspiracy makes no sense in the first place. given the facts about how the process worked, and given the timeline.
The Bannontrumpers will screech about how the “Deep State” is covering up for Hillary again, and the whole nutty jalopy of right wing conspiracy theorists will continue careening merrily along on their drunken spree of hit-and-runs…until they swerve wrong and hit an oncoming truck or plunge off a cliff.
I would be fine with this. Maybe they will be able to get to the bottom of the whole Oval Office blow job thing.
Donald is so jealous… probably still on his bucket list…
Yes, and that is precisely why the sale needed to be approved by 9 Federal agencies.
I want all the Republicans in favor of a foreign company threatening our largest freshwater aquifer to go on the record, and if they justify it with “but it’s Canada!” I want them to then explain why Canada is off the hook for selling the company to the Russians.
