    Based on intelligence of potential conflicting interests of the United States of AMERICA... (not the United States of Trump), the FBI should be able to investigate anyone and everyone. Including Joe Biden and formerly Barrack Obama.

    If Biden sends his personal attorney to China to solicit their help in digging up dirt on Trump (something Trumps personal attorney is doing right now), I would applaud Christopher Wray if he okayed operatives to talk to and potentially work inside Biden’s campaign staff to protect the interests of the US.

    Comey and McCabe did what they should have in having sources inside the Trump campaign in 2016, and based on what Trump and Giuliani are doing now out in the open (that you obviously don’t give two sh$&’s about) Christopher Wray would be derelict in his duty if he was not allowing the FBI to conduct surveillance and tap sources inside the 2020 Trump campaign to insure Trump and the Dem candidate are not serving the interests of a hostile foreign power for their own personal gain.

    Unlike people like you who only care about winning and seizing power for your political team, I care about protecting the interests of the US. Soliciting help from foreign enemies is now a thing Trump fans are okay with for Trump to do but what if the shoe was on the other foot? If Trump is soliciting help from Russia but Biden is soliciting help from China who do you think benefits the most?

    You Trumpers are drunk on your hunger for more power for Trump in the short term. In the long run your binge mode will cost Bigly.

    What Comey and McCabe did was not only right... it was downright patriotic knowing full well what the consequences were if Trump won.

    Talk about dishonest... Those Tweets are horrible and you should be ashamed for posting such garbage. Nobody was 'planted'. They went to verify information. It wasn't spying. It was counter-intelligence. Of course they tweeted crap to serve their purpose and sadly for this board you bought it.

    It would be better if they could argue against Comey's rationale instead of making up terms and charges that aren't accurate to create a straw-man.

    Barr's investigation is a cover up. There is zero evidence of anything even warranting an investigation.

    It's funny that while most of us were saying let's wait and see what Mueller's investigation turns up, you somehow already know that Barr's investigation will uncover such dastardly deeds. LOL

    Mueller team attempted to entrap Papadopoulos with $10k in cash to frame him as an agent of Israel

    If I were on a jury in a case involving the FBI, I would vote to acquit every time.

    If true... and that’s a very big If... George P. needs to prove to the investigative committees (namely Republican led one in the Senate) that this 10k was really paid to him, and give up his foreign bank account info. Let them investigate and hand over the receipts.

    Very convenient for him to leave the money in Greece. We just supposed to take the word of a guy who did time because of lying to the FBI?

    Paps has been talking a big game about conspiracy theory since getting out of prison. What is his end game here he’s gunning for other than spots on right wing media blogosphere? Why is he not giving up the receipts and not cooperating with a conspiracy theory friendly Republican Senate?

    Paps served a short sentence and is now a free man. If he has the goods to prove the conspiracy theory great.... give us the receipts to prove it. Until then you just look like someone who went to jail and trying to create a post criminal career as the lead character in a made for TV movie about an evil shadow government. He wants to cast himself as Kevin Kostner in Oliver Stone’s JFK.

    Give me a break... put up the goods or shut up Paps. You claim a vast left wing conspiracy theory by a shadow government order.... prove it.

    Like any strong leader, he gets up when he falls down.

    No wonder he took over Crimea during Obama's administration.

    Yet he wasn't strong enough to keep his economy from being crippled by Obama's retaliation and sanctions. He also isn't strong enough to allow actual political opponents or unfavorable press.
