Like.... taking classified information home with you and storing it on a private server?

So the talking point of this being a total waste of money has just gone out of the window.


Liar!

The talking point was it was a waste of money investigating collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. And there's still not a bit of evidence of that.

You're an idiot.

I get that but the interpretation of it has become fricking absurd and I believe that whether it's a Republican target today or a Democrat target tomorrow.

It can't fricking mean, "we'll just look for everygoddamnedthing we can on anyone connected to the target".

Sadly, no one seems to want to recognize that is a very dangerous way to interpret the language.

Means? Come on now. You’re a smart guy. I’m sure someone of your intellectual capabilities can explain what From in or about and between 2006 and 2017 means in a few short sentences.


It means that the conspiracy, to which Manafort is admitting to, started in 2006 and ended in 2017.

See, pretty easy to explain.

That’s pretty definitive for “about” that time frame.

Mueller just proved links between the Russian government and an individual associated with Trump's campaign (Manafort).

So are Manaforts tax crimes or Clinton’s felony and treasonous email server containing classified information more detrimental to the United States of America?

People who have committed crimes should be snagged.

Fine, no argument here on that count.

I do find it a bit offputting that the criminal pursuit, in this case, had political implications

Whataboutism.


Trump's own DoJ re-affirmed the conclusion there was no Clinton "felony and treasonous email server"

True, but the nature of his crimes were connected to politics so it was kind of unavoidable.

You and I both know if Manafort had never joined the Trump team he would be a free unindicted man today.

So.... if I have classified clearance. And I take some classified information home with me. And I upload it to my own server. Nothing will happen to me?

I haven’t committed a felony? And I haven’t committed treason against my country?

Of course you know just as well as I do, that isn’t true. We’d be jailed in a heartbeat.
