Discussion: Trump Calls Mueller Probe 'Illegal Joseph McCarthy Style Witch Hunt'

Somewhat OT, but I’m reminded of this comment from another site:

Once upon a time, a bunch of trees elected an axe as their president. Many objected to this. They said “He’s a fucking AXE, ffs!”

The stupid trees said, “But look at his wood handle. He’s just like us!”

The smart trees said, “He’s an AXE, goddammit!”

Trees sure are stupid.

I consider $40,000,000 to investigate your criminal administration well worth the money especially when you consider tax payers have now paid $83,000,000 on your golfing excursions.

If he wants to talk about shattering innocent lives, let’s discuss the Family Separation Policy.

As someone said on another tread, Rethugs standing around looking at their shoes. I love that image as it’s so true.

With all of the asset forfeitures Mueller has engineered (particularly from Manafort’s real estate holdings), this investigation seems to be more than paying for itself (contrary to Donnie’s whining and false $40M figure). Keep this up and we might be able to take a chunk out of that deficit!

Not to mention - wait for it… Benghazi!!!

“Joseph McCarthy style witch hunt.”

Roy Cohn was chief counsel for the McCarthy committee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Cohn#Work_with_Joseph_McCarthy

Later in his career, Cohn represented Tony Salerno, Carmine Galante, John Gotti, Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch, and Roger Stone. He was charged but never convicted of perjury and witness tampering. He was eventually disbarred for stealing from his clients.

Trump has been quoted as saying “Where’s my Roy Cohn?”

Yes, TPM’s Livewire is a very active in channeling the propaganda, something that is extremely objectionable for a supposedly left of center news outlet. Yet TPM rarely covers statements or tweets from Dems… curious indeed.

Josh Marshall has never billing TPM as left or left or center. It’s fact based over any other meaningless label. Like it or not, Trump tweets are news.

The irony is SOOOOOOO delicious!

And yet - a tweet from a Dem is on the front page right now.

Curious indeed.

Why isn’t there a way for Twitter to have a ‘Fast Facts’ window slide in next to Whiny’s tweets like CNN did with Aunt Lydia?

When will this illegal Joseph McCarthy style Witch Hunt,.

Fast Fact:
a. It’s not illegal
b. I can’t remember…how many people have confessed now?

one that has shattered so many innocent lives, ever end-or will it just go on forever?..

Fast Fact
a. Since when has Whiny ever shown compassion to anyone other than Numero Uno?
b. It goes on until it’s done. I mean it took HOW long for Nixon to fess up?

After wasting more than $40,000,000 (is that possible?),…

Fast Fact

  • No, it’s not possible. Mueller confiscated all of Manafort’s properties, which amount to tens of millions and will not only pay for the cost of the probe so far but will fund it for another few years. .Please show us on the doll where you pulled out this 40 million number.

it has proven only one thing-there was NO Collusion with Russia. So Ridiculous!

Fast Fact

  • Dude, what has you spinning in circles is that you don’t know what Mueller has.

Did you ever see an investigation more in search of a crime?

Fast Fact

  • You already admitted to obstruction of justice. And what about all those confessions?

At the same time Mueller and the Angry Democrats aren’t even looking at
the atrocious, and perhaps subversive, crimes that were committed by
Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats.

Fast Fact

  • That’s not their remit. It’s just a cookie-jar excuse.

The difference is that Mueller is actually finding real ones…

Not only is Friday just a day away, but the Oval Office Orangutan made a (suspiciously) last minute decision to go to the G20 after all…

Hoping for some headlines to distract from what’s about to break?

Of course, the last couple of times he went abroad, he actually made things worse for himself…so what’s coming is likely even worse than yet another international faux pas.

Or, he’s going to beg Uncle Vlad for help.

Yeah, especially while briskly explaining that “Mommy has to go away for a long trip too … but it’s not at all like their situation.”
