Last year, several top Republican and Democratic lawmakers were informed of the probe during a closed-door briefing with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and McCabe, ABC News was told.
Was one of them Devin Nunes??
I deeply hope I can one day tell my children about the fall of Trump administration.
Why can the President appoint people to these positions? It seems like it was designed to be corrupt. Surely the person in charge of the FBI should be the one who worked there long and hard enough to qualify for the position.
The Trump administration is fucking cartoonishly corrupt.
That's pretty blatant.
I'm sure McCabe will use this during his lawsuit to restore his pension and other benefits.
I'm no longer surprised, rather just numb and queasy with disappointment in how far the corruption can go.
Me, I'm banking on witnessing the end of America. Not to be gloating at the misfortune of hundreds of millions of innocent citizens or wanting a massive power vacuum which won't benefit the global climate. I just think it's like the fall of the Roman Empire or the end of European colonialism in Africa.
I'm also banking on not having kids so it'll have to be great grandnephews and nieces.
What a shitty thing to hope for. Why depend on an entire nation to collapse?
This 'burn it all' mentality doesn't help anything.
Ever consider that you might not be one of the few who make it?
I guess I should clarify that I meant less "everything is on fire and Russia/China invades" and more the death of American Exceptionalism, of the idea of America being the World Police. Very big difference in the two terms and I'm sorry.
America is much stronger than Donald Trump. I firmly believe that.
Trump is the outgrowth, the projection, the symptom, the sign of a deeper illness in America.
the same type of person who supports infinite sanctions on russia is against any kind of actual revolution or reform in america, because it'd be inconvenient for them
You have a really weird way of phrasing things. I don't think anyone was excited about "throwing Russian citizens under the bus". People wanted some sort of response to first, Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea which caused plenty of deaths in the region, and second their manipulation and interference with the US presidential elections. Are we supposed to just not retaliate whatsoever? Obviously any moves we make against Russia, economic or physical, are going to trickle down and in some way affect regular Russian citizens, but what choice do we have? Sit by even more idly than we already are and watch as Russia invades sovereign nations for blatant land-grabs, aids North Korea in developing nukes and bypassing sanctions, and fucks with our election? Is there any response that you wouldn't bend over backwards to construe as some sort of hypocritical overreach by the big bad United States?
Fuck me dead, where is the Edgy rating
Well, judging from my very ill-advised post, it's a mix of 'snowflake' and 'asshole' in harmony.
Honestly, given how much external corruption is turning out to have affected the election, I don't think so. I think that this being the "true face" of America is part of the narrative and is a farce.
But they did so by poking precisely where they needed to.
as is how you manipulate anything, yes, what is your point?
If there was nothing to poke, we wouldn't have the symptom in our Oval Office.
So Trump IS STILL a symptom of a much larger problem. He's like a boil come to a sandy-haired head.
Yeah, if our country of millions of people had no nationalists, this issue wouldn't have happened.
Do you think that is true of any location on earth wit this many people?
It's not that we had nationalists, it's that we had enough nationalists, racists, white supremacists, crooked business men, etc., that created the perfect storm that gave us this presidency, especially considering voter apathy, single-issue voters, single-party voters, etc.
You know what the difference is? The United States is one of the most major players on a global scale. On top of that the US tends to work towards global stability. On the other hand Russia isn't such a global player and is actively working against global stability. The United States collapsing will harm a lot more than just American citizens. Russia collapsing though, not so much. And if they did then they kinda brought it upon themselves for being so shitty and aggressive towards everyone else.
Uh-huh, if you say so then.
Can we not resort to insulting one another's intelligence please
The Russian people allow Vladimir Putin to lead them; exact how complacent they are is debatable, but I'm fairly certain that he actually does have rather widespread approval. To some extent, constituents are responsible for the actions of their leaders.
If you boil anything doing to a certain level of simplicity and strip it of all context then anything can be identical to anything else. Martin Luther King Jr. is really just as bad Hitler because, on a basic level, they were both obsessed with race, ethnicity, and minority rights. Hotdogs are really just like the sun because they both contain densely packed energy.
Of course doing that is intellectually dishonest and doesn't actually give you a valid argument.
I don't get why you aren't asking where that bullshit comes from.
Fixing the the problems would help fix the bullshit but you'd rather say do nothing and act better than people who do want to do things and enact change.
