    Yes because as everyone knows, Rand Paul is a notorious Trump apologist.

    Why should anyone listen to Rand Paul? He has been very vocal in his belief that there was no connection between Trump, Trump's people, and Russia. Paul is now very supportive of a guy he once called a "delusional narcissist" and an "orange-faced windbag." (talk about hypocritical).

    Heck, Paul is so supportive of Trump that he didn't even think it was necessary to investigate Flynn... that Trump had it all handled:

    No because they don't just investigate anything without some sort of evidence or indication that it's worth investigating. It's one thing to reserve judgement until more facts come to light and it's something completely different to label something that's under investigation by the FBI as a conspiracy on the same level as the Obama is a Kenyan Muslim garbage. In fact, there's already far more evidence of connections between Trump's campaign and Russia just from the contacts between Flynn and others within Trump's camp and Russia than there ever was with the Obama BS. It's not surprising that you struggle with this concept though.

    I'm pretty sure professional ethics as well as contractual agreements and the law will prevent McCabe and Comey both from telling the world what they know. I will not be at all surprised to see new anonymous leaks from the FBI. But it would be as astounding to see either one spill the beans as it was to see Trump fire Comey under such suspicious circumstances.

    You must be channeling your inner Trump... I am very clearly saying I most likely would not trust anyone that Trump would name as Comey's replacement. And if you read carefully, I wrote that McCabe is a very temporary "Acting" FBI Director, as Trump is already looking to replace him with an "Interim" FBI Director.

    There's no evidence connecting Trump to Russia so as of now, it's just wishful thinking by Democrats still upset that they lost the election. Like I said, I've heard this kind of BS before, the only difference was that the same people buying into this conspiracy theory were the same people who were speaking out against those who were pushing the Obama conspiracy theories.

    The purpose of the FBI investigation is to find evidence. If there was evidence, Trump's ass would be impeached tomorrow. Trump fired the guy who was trying to find evidence. I have no clue what you are whining about this time but it doesn't seem like you get that Trump firing the guy who was leading the investigation that could lead to Trump's impeachment is suspicious.

    Good lord will you stop spreading lies. We shouldn't have to counter this every single page you continue to spout this line.

    No- Trump hasn't been convicted of a Crime.
    Yes- There is circumstantial evidence connecting Trump officials to Russian and the Russian arms overseeing the hacking campaign.

    Those are two FACTS that aren't mutually exclusive. Trump not being convicted (in the beginning of an investigation) doesn't mean that its a fake investigation and we are all idiots for thinking it is serious.

    Its not your place to tell people what they do and don't think are serious topics worthy of following. If you don't think its worth your time, then stop posting on a forum about it. For those that do care about preserving our democracy and making sure that a foreign dictator DIDN'T infiltrate our government with a puppet as a president, they will continue to follow the story and the evidence as it comes in.

    Funny enough the same InfoWars people who believe 911 was an inside job, and Sandy Hook was staged, are Trump's biggest supporters now, and they don't have the right to complain about AN ACTUAL INVESTIGATION being nothing but "Conspiracy Theory".


    *Also Bobby... just wear the badge of Trump fan please. Admit you voted for & support the guy. Because you try to keep this plausible deniability out there that you didn't vote for him or whatever, but EVERY SINGLE ONE of your positions point back to you creating doubt around anything that takes away from his agenda. If you root against one team to lose you are by default wanting the other team to win. Your ideals are always in benefit to the Trump agenda. Just own it and stop being scared to admit you are a Trump fan.

    For months, John Dean has been pretty vocal in his criticism of Donald Trump... and John Dean just might know a thing or two about government coverups...

    In March, Dean said the Trump White House was in 'Cover-Up Mode'

    Well, Dean is back, commenting on the Comey firing:

    I'm not sure you are really an authority here to suggest what is truth and what are lies given that you have a history of being a partisan hack....

    This is also further evidence that you simply don't know what the hell you are talking about. I never supported Trump at any point during the process, and certainly didn't vote for him. In fact, I was against him running for the Republican nomination WELL before anyone else was on that bandwagon kiddo.

    Again, you are embarrassing yourself, but you don't know enough to even realize it.

    Seriously? The first 15 - 20 minutes on all the major networks focusing on this. Talk about argumentum ad infinitum, ad nauseum - add ad nitpicking via minutia.
    Absolutely r****ded.
    We must be the laffing stock of the world's community.

    The hypocrisy here is astounding. Here are a couple of examples:

    Look at this CNN commenter who is essentially calling for Trump's impeachment.

    http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/09/opinions/trump-comey-huge-trouble-opinion-callan/

    The same analyst called for Comey's resignation months earlier. He said Comey was "Trashing the Justice and FBI rule books"

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/28/opinions/fbi-director-comey-should-resign-opinion-callan/index.html

    And CNN expects us to believe they are unbiased.

    Also take a look at the Hillary camp. Pretty much every one of Hillary's campaign staffers retweeted this from John Podesta yesterday morning.



    In his next Tweet 7 hours later Podesta did a flip flop and compared Trump to Nixon.

    Yes, we are the "laffing" stock of the world but not for the reasons you think.

    Yes, we are the laffing stock, but it is not due to the person you are referring to.
