I guess that makes you unreasonable.

About to get very, very interesting.  Just about everything you would not want to believe, is going to end up being true.  Trump is right again, this makes Watergate look like a playground game of tag........this abuse of power shakes the nation at its core. 

There needs to be more information on this, because currently I am not 100% sold on Obama admin spying on Trump. 

Anyway, does anybody want to take bets on which of QO's puppets will respond first?

there is info.  The DOJ behind an unelected official, Rosenstein is blocking and slow rolling all of it. Wait till either the midterms or after Trump wins another election.  Heads will roll.  Trump will walk into the DOJ and shake that place up.

I had him at lower odds.  Good thing I didn't make a bet.

You really should pay attention.

I do. Blind partisans on one side say one thing with complete confidence daily while dismissing the other side as wackos; blind partisans on the other side say the opposite thing with complete confidence daily while dismissing the first side as wackos. Both sides come across as all noise with very little substance, but because they're the loud, angry ones, everyone else has to listen to them regurgitate the same shit daily to the degree that it's obvious that, regardless of side, they're all wackos.

That includes you. Figured I needed to add that, since you tend to be exceptionally dense.

I've been skeptitcal of the entire collusion story from the beginning.  And a lot of things I said very early about a possible "conspiracy" are definitely gaining momentum.

Recent reports about implanting a spy or attempted entrapment WOULD be bigger than Watergate, if the liberal media had any objectivity left.  There's also speculation that the whole dossier leak was some sort of gas lighting - they briefed Obama and Trump on it, then leaked the briefing to give the media a reason to report it.

Now, as with nearly everything else in this story, the above may not be true.  The above COULD be leaks intended to weaken and discredit the media, as we've seen many times.  But not all those leaks have been from the anti-Trump people, I don't think.  Pretty obvious some leaks/stories originate from Trump people with the purpose to embarass and discredit WaPo and NYT, among others.

This wouldn't surprise me, whatsoever.

Wow .......it's as if we became a third world country under obama.

The release of the entire report will be revealing. 

Not sure how illegal it is but reports on Iran deal doesnt look good for Obama

And the dem's IT guy is about to sing; there is another cadre of crooks in the whole corruption scene.

Rosenstein's disturbing intimidation tactics have congressional staffers afraid: GOP lawmakers

GOP lawmakers accused the DOJ of "intimidation" on the heels of a Fox News report that Rod Rosenstein once threatened to "subpoena" committee members, with one claiming staffers were left "physically shaking."

• Rosenstein threatened to 'subpoena' Republican-led committee in 'chilling' clash over records, emails show

Lovely

Must be a slow news day at Drudge, considering this was already reported months ago.  I guess now you have emails as proof, but the story had been out there.

And how about Mueller indicting Russians, and then when one of the Russian parties appears in court Mueller says he should not have to present the evidence.  They called his bluff.  Talk about the bastardization of our judicial system.  Drain the damn swamp now.

"Perhaps the most damaging new revelation in the report, according to multiple people familiar with it, is a previously unreported text message in which Peter Strzok, a key investigator on both the Clinton email case and the investigation of Russia and the Trump campaign, assured an FBI lawyer in August 2016 that “we’ll stop” Trump from making it to the White House."

“[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!” the lawyer, Lisa Page, wrote to Strzok.

“No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it,” Strzok responded.

LOL.

I love how you just stopped right there.

The very next paragraph in the story:

Though the inspector general condemned individual FBI officials, the report fell significantly short in supporting the assertion by the president and his allies that the investigation was rigged in favor of Clinton, according to a person familiar with its content, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share findings before the report’s formal release.

Oh yeah, going to dive right into that 500 pages! [not]

Basically confirms that Comey was a sanctimonious cowboy who, in a very difficult situation, decided to wing it and ignore protocol.  He (and others) clearly made some political calculations, but there's no evidence of bias.  I'm sure a few others need to go, but the major problems are gone, with the exception of Rosenstein.

They expected Hillary to win, and they didn't want to appear to be part of a cover-up.  I don't think this says much about her server, nor will it change anyone's mind with respect to that.  She probably would not have been successfully prosecuted, and she almost certainly deliberately had the server to evade FOIA disclosures.

This has nothing to do with Russia since that wasn't the IG's focus here.

Oh yeah, I just read the Summary ha. 

I largely agree and that it confirms there was not some vast conspiracy against Trump that some on here like to claim on the run up to the election. 

Sad part is people will cherry pick portions to fit their own narratives.
