Discussion: DOJ Revelation About Missing Texts Undercuts GOP Anti-FBI Talking Point

[katscherger]

Hey, Dotard, where are your missing tax returns? Blaming your accountant?

[bdtex]

That won’t stop the Trumpsters from believing what they believe. It’s been repeated and spread enough that it is stuck in their heads,no matter the evidence to the contrary.

[cabchi]

More evidence that the only safe computer server used by federal government employees was in the basement of a very nice, but not lavish, house in Chappaqua, New York.

Dragline: Why you got to go and say fifty eggs for? Why not thirty-five or thirty-nine?

Luke: I thought it was a nice round number.

Maybe someone can explain…

Why do the same Goopers who believe that the government, or “deep state,” is capable of pulling off giant conspiracies like this involving the cooperation and secrecy of hundreds of individuals, also not believe the government can run a health care system? It seems like a health care exchange would be child’s play compared to all these dastardly secret conspiracies their dear leader is so conveniently victimized by.

[imkmu3]

I’m not saying it was a conspiracy but…it was a conspiracy.

[redraleigh]

Everyone is focused on this phony created scandal instead of the NYC Trumplandia Cabal conspiracy that actually occurred.

Just what the Republicans want.

From the actual Fox News report:

Senior Department of Justice officials told Fox News they are “taking steps” to possibly recover the texts from the appropriate cellphone carriers. The same officials told Fox News they are also making every effort to track down the physical cellphones in question so they could be subject to a forensic review.

Don’t tell me, these are the same Deep State officials secretly plotting against Trump, who’s first thought was, “I need to tell Fox News about this.”

[texastwostep]

So instead of a conspiracy that has caused the far right to indict the FBI, it becomes a technical glitch with a private cell phone provider.

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!!

You can’t run from Fat Donny’s criminal acts. The longer your defend, the more you are complicit.

At what point do these members of Congress, while knowing the truth, become co-conspirators in a RICO indictment?

We are taking names and will kick ass.

Along the same lines, I would ask why they can believe in that “Deep State” conspiracy involving the FBI, the Obama DOJ, Loretta Lynch, Hillary Clinton, Robert Mueller and his team of 17, James Comey, etc. in pursuit of a political agenda which they don’t share but the idea that Trump and his band of billionaires were engaged in a clumsy effort to make even more money doesn’t strike them as a more likely scenario.

I can’t wait for the indictments.

[krux]

Deep state vs. Derp state continues…

[tres]

Stupid crap worked for Clinton emails (BUT HER EMAILLLSSS!!!)… why not try it again with the bogeyman de jour…

Shameless Fucking Morons®

[go2goal]

Where are Trump’s tax returns?

Where are the Trump email server’s from Trump tower and his emails with the Russians?

Where’s the sex tape of Trump in Moscow with under age Russian prostitutes that Putin sent copies to Trump?

Where’s Trump’s draft record and FIVE deferments dodging his call to serve!

Where’s Trump’s college transcript?

Where’s Melania’s immigration papers and her illegal entrance into the I
US?

Where’s Trump’s financial statements and disclosures for the Trump Foundation which was forced to close for fraud?

Throw Trump in jail!

@stoy

In the Trump version of the GOP attack on the Justice Department, the Justice Department isn’t supposed to defend itself.

Deep state! Deep state!

Remember: the first rule of conspiracy theory cockamamie bullcrap is that any source of information that appears to invalidate the conspiracy theory cockamamie bullcrap is part of the conspiracy!!!

[menocchio]

Remember when Republicans screamed bloody murder when 22 million Bush administration/RNC emails were disappeared during investigations of the administration? Me neither.

George W. Bush's White House "lost" 22 million emails

[herringbone]

@mondfledermaus

Trump will never be “done” of lyin’, at least not while alive.

And after his demise, then what? He gets buried standing up?

[j_publicus]

I’ll just leave this here…

[littlegirlblue]

“50,000” is so much more exciting for excitable people than 925.

[cervantes]

@the_mask

Personally, I don’t understand why anyone uses “company” assets to communicate personal things on.

Convenience, or laziness — usually.

[cervantes]

@pluckyinky

The only things these two appear guilty of is cheating and not realizing it’s never a good idea to use work technology to communicate anything you don’t want your boss to know about. Those aren’t crimes and I really wish people would leave them alone.

We need to examine their counter-tops.

(That’s probably where they’ve stashed all the evidence.)
