President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Even if he is under oath, I see no reason to believe a single thing he says. It all started with the inaugural crowd ...

 

One day the characters are going to get out of the van to deal with your post rage ...

 

Trump will not testify under oath. But if he did, it would be different, because the special counsel won't depose him until he has his every other duck all lined up, meaning his deposition would be a perjury trap. Not even his clown lawyer would allow it. He won't testify under oath to Congress because the Republicans will never allow him to be subpoenaed. They know damn well he can't tell the truth from fantasy, and would easily be trapped by Democratic questions.

 

In Sharing Memos, Comey Did Nothing Wrong as a Former Official and Everything Right as a Whistleblower

 

Could she be the one!

 

There's as much evidence that a crime was committed here as there was when Hillary's email server was discovered. Coincidentally, a story also broken by the lying liars at the New York Times.

 

Wrong.

We’re less convinced by this part of the argument. It is clearly right that recorded recollections of conversations with a president are not necessarily government property. But if Comey wrote these memos about official meetings, on official computers, on official time, that probably makes it hard to argue they aren’t government records. That said, Comey could certainly reproduce the content in his personal capacity without the documents qualifying as government records.

They were government documents. He shouldn't have left with them. If he wanted to reproduce the content from memory, that would have been fine, though the whole point was to get his recollection on paper immediately.

 

No. Improper handling of classified documents is a crime.

That's what they were looking into.

What's the potential crime here.

 

Yep. Because there was no collusion.

But, you investigate long enough, and hope to find some crime. Any crime.

Hey, maybe we can prosecute the "coverup" of the crime that never happened.

 

They didn't have proof that she mishandled classified information when they launched the investigation. They had "smoke" suggesting she may have. They had to investigate to find that evidence.

There are lots of potential crimes here. If you can't see them, it's because you don't want to.

 

The private server was evidence of a potential crime. There is nothing similar in the Russian investigation.

 

LOL. OK.
