You and Tom Fitton. When Fitton said we would disappointed with Durham investigation, I knew it was the truth.




Come on man. He MIGHT disappoint....OR he MIGHT NOT.


NO ONE KNOWS.


One thing everyone can agree on is the Durham is leak proof.

You don't see the hypocrisy with your example?


There is no hypocrisy there. Anonymous sources are anonymous sources.

A "Q person" would be hypocritical to slander the media for using anonymous sources because they often rely on anonymous sources themselves. That much is true.

The distinction in my example is not to call out the media for using anonymous sources, but instead to call out the anonymous sources themselves. "I don't buy your anonymous source, because my anonymous source says otherwise."

Without some sort of verification, we find oueselves at an em passe. I haven't called out the people using the anonymous sources, making myself a hypocrite cuz I use them too. Instead, what I have done is I have simply said I don't trust the anonymous sources info, because I prefer mine instead.

They're both anonymous. Neither one has any more credibility than the other, unless you want to argue thst the media is actually truthful.

ETA:

I'll go ahead and address the troll comments too. There is no doubt that I, as one of my favorite posters on this board once said, "dabble in the arts of emotional manipulation" while online.

But I'll tell you here and now, I only ever do that on tRant. Because sports are for entertainment and I like to laugh/ make others laugh.

I don't dabble in the emotional arts on the politics board. Believe it or not, everything I say here, no matter how crazy sounding, are my genuine thoughts.

I can see it. I might be comprehending it incorrectly.

Regardless, I like you. You're reasonable, not lazy, and you're not a softy.

Keep doing you, brother, whether I talk shite or not. And, I have no doubt as to whether my shite talking will have any affect on you. lol

Not at all. Your problem with me is that I was the first person to figure out that you were playing both sides against the middle in the Q thread. Only about 5 people know about that, though, so your true intentions remain hidden from the masses.

You're a two-faced phony, and like I said, I figured you out early.

And yes, you did post a comment from Vox and you used it to criticize me. That's flat-out retarded.

Not one leak has come out of the Durham investigation.

How is it hypocritical to say this is a lie?

And again for the 31st time. It is not you, it is your delivery. Work on how you write your responses and we will give you a little more room to make your point.

You know, I don't know anything you don't, but Fitton is almost always right. And he says he is disappointed with what he has seen from this investigation.

While I'll be the first to admit that Tom Fitton has his finger on the Beltway pulse more than any of us do, here, respectfully, Fitton doesn't know shite about what Durham does or doesn't know, or who is or isn't getting popped in this probe.

End of story.

This investigation is unprecedented because the crimes committed were equally unprecedented.

I like Tom just fine, so there's no malice in the following comments, but I was actually surprised to just learn that he's not a lawyer nor has a juris doctorate. Which is sorta surprising, considering the group he heads and what it does.

And the reason I was curious as to whether he was a lawyer or not was because I had a feeling he likely wasn't, given that opinion of disappointment about the investigation.

Most attorneys don't really share that opinion because all throughout one's career as practicing attorney they learn first hand, maybe even almost every day, the nature of the cumbersome and oftentimes slow turning wheels of justice.

Karla, it had nothing to do with you personally. I was supporting my position against your alternative position.

Quit being so insecure. I'm sorry life didn't turn out the way it should have for somebody with an incredible skill set like yourself.

Karla, you didn't figure out shite. I played the role of the devil's advocate, because outsiders weren't allowed to post in the thread without getting suspended or a pm. It was turning the entire thread into an echo chamber, with a group that had no practice dealing with someone with an alternative position. It's still the same too; it's mainly a group that acts like junior high kids when faced with an adverse position.

Plus, I'm a troll, so my trollish, sarcastic side, which I was decent at suppressing when I really wanted the Q thing to grow, started to leak out.

Of course, you took that as me being a Soros plant, employed by the DNC. lol

Ask BoarEd; he's pretty blunt like myself. He'll back me up that you're an insecure softy.

Oh no. He's right about you for sure. I'm just saying he wasn't the "first person to peg you."

Come on, man. Get real. According to your posting history in the Q thread, if I member, you're some sort of .gov type. Career type even. You have a good familiarity with the intelligence world.

If you are who you insinuate you are, you wouldn't fail to grasp my very basic rebut of your "hypocrisy" claim earlier.

What you are is a professional stooge and nothing more. Not a very good one either.

Surprises me too, and no malice taken. He did not say he has inside information. He just told us to prepare to be disappointed, and he may just be going by recent history. Believe me bro, I hope he is wrong about this. I want Brennan in jail. I think it would go a long way to reestablishing justice. I think we are on the same page on this issues.

We definitely on the same page.




I do fear though that the most common approach amongst us all was to set expectations at a very high level without tempering them with the many unpleasant realities that can adversely affect an investigation/prosecution, especially one of this breadth.

I believe the separate DOJ investigations actually interlock at some point and the whole thing is unspooled

Durham is FISA and Russia
Bash with unmasking
Huber with Clinton Foundation

Awan, Feinstein/China, Ukraine, Assange etc all come into play

I could post several threads from years ago that the same people in this thread --that are actually arguing with two people kicked out of their thread-- As if it is some coveted thing to post in that thread like sixth graders doing this--->

That swore upside down (just like this thread) the IG report would produce arrests of some sort.

When Fitton and many others here tried to say it was going to be a whitewash. It was, and they were told they would get training and stern letters in their permanent records as they laughed all the way to their go fund me banks.

The enlightened ones then scolded us that they are saving the big guns for Comey and McCabe down the road.

The great enlightened intellects that posted the apostles memes of Noah on the Ark laughing at us low life dumb people as we drowned.

Can we at least get real and step it up to acting like adults and stop this- we were right, anons knew, childish crap?

And when he says That, It actually makes sense because UNLIKE every other time,

THIS this time he hasn’t seen shite

Hence his disappointment.

Because he’s So used to being able to get information from his sources, he assumes that because There is No information This time, It must be bad news. ......Instead of his sources not being able to provide anything this time
