You may want to back up and see what you and I are discussing. It's the goal of Russia-gate.

But the specific actors are important.

Nobody is denying the DOJ's bad behavior pre and post election.

But the point is that Perkins Coie is not the DOJ, and their actions seem exclusively related to the campaign.

Therefore, they cannot have engaged in "overthrowing" Trump in admin 1.

Has literally nothing to do with the DOJ using it illegally in FISA court.


Presuming the "right" to an SC, which despite your protestations is the underpinning of your position (and the judge's), it would seem to me such glaring ignorance/naivety as to the potential misuse of their efforts is enough to lose a security clearance (see, for example, dumbasses in nuclear subs taking and posting selfies)

To be part of the topic anymore because it kills all of your stupid takes on this.



No we're discussing that the part you keep pasting and bolding has nothing to do with the DOJ's bad behavior and RussiaGate.

You keep trying to merge Perkins Coie into that bad behavior and you keep failing. All you can cite is the bolded language, which is nothing more than campaign fodder in an election. Almost by definition, punishing Perkins Coie for only that is in violation of the 1A.

You have to show more.

Wrong. It was used after he was elected.

Has everything to do with it because that would have never happened without the work of Perkins Coie.

They're irrelevant to the question asked and your answer that I initially responded to. Clearly (to me and probably most people) the goal of Russia-gate was to remove Trump from office. Clearly PC was involved in that effort. If you want to claim it was at a low level and dismiss the whole thing as politics as usual, you can make that claim, but it has nothing to do with the overarching goal of all things Russia-gate.

What's your allegations about Perkins Coie and the 2020 election?



RussiaGate was manufactured and intended to do maximum damage to the Trump administration, be it removal from office, tarnishing his reputation to lessen his political capital so he gets less done, harm his future political runs, and any other harm it could.

The specific claim about the 2020 election is just the lowest hanging fruit. Of course at least that much is true, and all the President would need to remove someone's security clearance.

By another party. The DOJ.

Nobody is arguing that use was proper.

So revoke THEIR security clearance.

The DOJ improperly using campaign fodder is their exclusive issue.

I don't know if this is specifically true.

But, even if I'm wrong, that was the goal of Russia-gate by bad actors in the DOJ, specifically.

Clearly PC was involved in that effort.

This is the problem. The evidence of this is pretty scant. The EO didn't even make this reference also, I must note. They kept it exclusive to campaign-related activities in 2016.

They didn't want that smoke

Again, the specific actors are important.

Nobody is arguing there was impropriety in the DOJ.

The idea that if they could have gotten to a point where they could have removed Trump, they just wouldn't, is one of the more fricking retarded things I've ever seen presented here.

And that's saying something.
