Discussion: Issa Adds Caveat To His Call For Special Prosecutor In Trump-Russia Probe

Ha Ha! Took him two days to "clarify"his remarks which have been widely broadcast and quoted back to the GOP on the Sunday talk shows. Guess someone got a call with an offer this petty car thief couldnā€™t refuse.

Look I donā€™t know all the ins and outs of this but why would anyone on Trumpā€™s team be talking to any Russians during the campaign? I mean itā€™s not like the Russians have been cooperative with any administration in the past. There was no new crisis in the offing, so why talk to them instead of our closer allies?

Uh-oh. Somebody got the ā€œno crime, no prosecutorā€ talking point.

Jeez, in a case like this, how exactly do you find out if a crime has been committed?

I knew he would walk this back as soon as I heard him say it. He was trying to avoid being confronted by Maher.

Chicken shit.

These Republican tough guys sure are a bunch of cowards, arenā€™t they?

Issa, the arsonist car thief, needs a crime to be committed before an investigation, just like the dozen of IRS, Benghazi, and email investigations.

Coordinated hacking efforts? Promises to contain potential damaging evidence? Quid pro quo?

Iā€™m amazed it took him this long to roll over. Somebodyā€™s playing hard to getā€¦

Indeed. And yet ā€¦ there is prima facie evidence that they did. How else would their informal spox Guiliani and Stone be able to ā€œpredictā€ hacking and fake news from Russian sources before they were public?

Also, why would anyone on an election campaign coordinate with supporting PACā€™s, since itā€™s against the law? Oh right, they just announce things publicly that they wish someone would look into ā€œif youā€™re listening.ā€

Cause the Russian government saw him as easier to get along with.

Same as the Chinese government.

Weā€™ll know for sure when Assange turns up dead of a single ā€œself-inflictedā€ gunshot wound to the head in a locked bathroom of the Ecuadorian embassy. Thatā€™s Putinā€™s favored MO for troublemakers.

@carolson Well, heā€™s got a show this Friday.

Bill Maher should have a good comeback for this chickenshit.

N his ā€˜walk backā€™ (weasling) is the primary reason why I wished that.he initially said it, as opposed to Maher leading that conversation.

ā€œI think itā€™s very important to realize thereā€™s been no allegation by any part of this administration or by anyone whoā€™s been to the hearings about any crimes.ā€

Wellyahbut, the previous administrationā€¦

Well, now, they did kinda make some specific allegations about cyber crimes.

And if youā€™ve got a problem with that, then you should take it up with the FISA Court.
