You can't be serious!??! With all that is public knowledge about this charade at this point you actually believe what you just wrote?

They started with a fake report of someone pissing on a bed leading to an investigation without a crime. other than finding some crimes committed during the obama years by some nobodies, bankrupting an honorable man they have evolved all the way to finding out if he phucked a whore X number of years ago and paid her to keep quiet about it.

When you look at the big picture, the crimes they haven't looked into by people up there and the crimes that were found but not prosecuted this is silliness. Pure silliness!!

They know something on Gowdy so Mr Gowdy has since made a hard left turn

He’s obviously being coerced as seen relative to his previous life where he fought for what was right in our legal system

It’s sad how the left has coerced our politicians but we are susceptible to an evil presence doing what they are doing to get what they want

Its a federal prosecution, not state. Just sayin


Correct, it was sent to the federal prosecutor over the New York region. Thanks for noting.

I was being sarcastic, anyone left that still believes the entire Stormy thing was fabricated and that Trump did not have an affair has been so deeply lost in Trump Fantasyland that even an Inception-level rescue attempt of their reasoning faculties has been ruled out.



Problem is, no one gives a frick. Even a CNN poll showed that 70% of Americans don't CARE about Trump's (well known and public) sex life. He's always been a "player" - it's not new. People in NYC in the 80's knew it, tabloids wrote story after story about it.

The question is what does any of this have to do with Muh Russia? The answer is nothing. It's a witch hunt, Trump is 1000% right about that.

So philandering is now a crime and is worthy of a special prosecutors attention?

Of course it is!

Didn’t you hear all arguments?

Including the ones from the “libertarian, Nematocyte?”

He didn't defend the tactics of the raid. He just agreed that Mueller was correct in referring the matter to the federal prosecutor in New York


Technically, Mueller did what he was supposed to do - just a Ken Starr did with the discoveries he made in the original Whitewater investigation. In Starr's case, Reno always expanded his mandate to include the new evidence. In this case, Rosenstein referred the matter to the appropriate investigative agency.

I think that is all Gowdy was saying.

It is apparent that the original sin was appointing a Special Counsel to investigate a 'matter' which had no underlying crime. Once this crap was initiated, 'following the book' become their cover for whatever excesses they do.

It should be stopped. Without an original crime, it should be a political issue, not a witch hunt where every aspect of a person's life is put under the microscope looking for procedural faults that can be further 'investigated' until they spill whatever they can think of to impugn the big orange target.

He's always been an all bark and no bite type of guy

Boy, is that ever true. And his departure from Congress all of a sudden does seem very odd.

None of the Stormy stuff should matter anyway as it relates to the president, Trump has already professed his complete innocence in not only having knowledge of the hush money but having any sexual relations to begin with.


Even if he lied about all of this. None of it is illegal. You fascists sure are goons.

Well the Trump appointee that authorized the warrant seems to disagree with you.

I understand what he is saying but at what point does this stop ? Mueller seems to be finding everything but what he was hired to do . If Mueller was doing this to the left then they would all be screaming.

Because it was out of Muellers scope and would look like what it does to many. Wrong.

Suffers from dimential, extreme fear, and sometimes claims to be the US Attorney General

Can't we just wait and see what the report says and what charges are filed?


I think we've all been demanding the report for many months now. That's sort of the problem. This has dragged on for the entire first year and a quarter of Trump's presidency and dominates the news cycle allowing wild speculation which undermines the president's ability to work on his agenda.

Gowdy is just showing his true colors. US Attorney’s aren’t worried about justice or rights. They are hammers, we, and Trump, are nails.

don't claim to know enough about this situation to develop a meaningful opinion.


None of do...but my take is IF this all was started over the dossier, and it's been proven fake, everyone should be sent home immediately. There is no investigation (legally) at that point.

This, yo me, is like a bad warrant search. ANYTHING found is inadmissible. So you should stop looking as to not eliminate any future possible evidence
