Listening to the GOP side of this, one would surmise that the IG’s report was solely concerned with Steele, Strzok, and Pages Carter and Lisa.

Carter Page 2024!! Elect the martyr!

They’re really going to town on firing people. We’ll see how much attention Fox devotes to this talking point (and I guess OAN too) and what results.

Except on the president

I think I’ve been following this stuff too much because his “friendly” caution to Democrats sounded like a threat to me.

Lindsay warns Democrats this could happen to them. Except there’s no need to sic the FBI on Democratic candidates when POTUS can just use his Italian Roy Cohn and Republican members of congress to throw fake dirt around.

News flash to Mister Lindsay: the FBI, via James Comey days before the 2016 election, put its thumb on scale for Trump and the GOP. As a result, Trump, not Clinton, became president.

Additionally, maybe Mister Lindsay should explain why FBI agents who openly expressed anti-Clinton political bias still have their jobs.

Its all just bad faith arguments, all day every day. They will argue 1 thing and then the exact opposite the next, whatever benefits them at the moment is what matters.

IE Linda on the Clinton impeachment

This is precisely why this is all Theater of the Absurd. All of this outrage! over supposed plots to keep the person who is President from being President.

Obviously, the ‘plots’ failed. Either that or Clinton plotted to lose. Why is everyone so outraged? l

It’s not even that the ‘plots’ failed, its that if there was a plot they took zero action to do anything, meanwhile there was multiple actions taken to help drump by hurting Clinton.

Sure - we all know that there were real actions taken against Clinton. I was looking at it from the other direction for a minute.

I’ve never seen people just try to present an alternate reality like the GOP is determined to do, and one that is so poorly constructed and so nonsensical as this one is. Just when I thought it couldn’t any more, the mind reels.

The Build the Wall people will have to raise more funds, I guess. But they’re not so good at making friends lately.

In an interview with right-wing news outlet The Rundown, Kolfage smeared Snipes, a beloved figure in the border town of Mission known for his love of Lone Star beer and vocal defense of a historic chapel threatened by Trump’s wall. “[Snipes] is promoting human trafficking and abuse of women and children,” Kolfage said, referring to the priest’s criticism of border fences. “Instead of driving around in expensive boats with media he should be helping … to combat the rampant pedophilia in the church.” Since Friday, Kolfage has also tagged the butterfly center in about 30 tweets, accusing the refuge of assisting the cartels, implying it has ties to insect smuggling, and labeling the center “left wing thugs with a sham butterfly agenda.”

So real plots to extort fake scandals and fake plots to extort fake scandals and fake plots to extort real scandals - all big failures.

There was one real plot and it succeeded - the Trump-Russia plot to rig the 2016 election. All the other plots are noise they hope will drown out the real one.
