    Under the premise of Political bias Christopher Wray should NEVER be able to investigate a Democrat since he donated nearly 40K to Republicans just last year. That pretty clearly shows a bias towards Republican favor. If you say someone like McCabe can't do his job and should be part of the purge, so should Wray. You can't have it both ways.

    Just stop with the non-partisan schtick. You're as blinded by bias as anyone, which is evident from the fact that you think the only way a non-partisan investigation into Hillary and her emails should've been concluded was exactly the way you see it. Everyone has a political opinion, Peter Strzok bashed Trump as well as Bernie and Chelsea Clinton, but you only choose to label him as biased based on him calling Trump an idiot, an opinion that is pretty widespread actually. Like @fchowd0311 said, good luck finding any intelligent, capable agents who don't think that Trump is a complete buffoon.

    Everyone has bias, but mine isn't grounded in partisanship. I'm not a member of either party. When it comes to the Hillary investigation, given that there is 100% conclusive evidence of her guilt, yeah, any investigation that doesn't end in a recommendation for indictment is pretty clearly flawed.

    Also, there's a difference between having political opinions and being compromised by political opinions. When you are discussing "insurance policies" in case the politician you support loses an election, you are clearly compromised by your political opinions. Hell I thought and think that Trump is an idiot, I was even one of the first "Never Trump" people....doesn't mean I am compromised by that opinion.

    Also, I think it's pretty obvious that if the situation was reversed, your opinion would be completely different. If Republican donors were launching investigations into Obama after talk about an "insurance policy" if he won the election, you'd have a fit about it.....and you wouldn't be wrong to do so. When obviously compromised members of the FBI do things like that, they taint the credibility of the entire organization.....which is why there needs to be a purge when it comes to people like that. You simply can't have the FBI be a political organization and right now, it certainly seems to be the case.

    As a last thing, you know there's no reason to bring up fchowd0311 unless we're discussing eating crayons right? If he had anything of value to add to any other conversation, he wouldn't be on my ignore list. Let's leave the rabble out of conversations that have any hope of being productive.

    Do I really have to spell this out yet again? The crime was mishandling classified information. Here's the relevant portion of the relevant statute

    It's not rhetoric at all, that's just one specific example of a crime that we know for a fact Hillary was guilty of. The Hillary donor that edited Comey's speech knew it too and that's why he removed "gross negligence" from the speech and instead inserted "extremely careless" so as to not actually use language from the crime everyone knew she was guilty of in a speech claiming that she shouldn't be indicted.

    LOL, seriously? You are doubting the existence of classified information on Clinton's server? I mean, I just spelled out to you one of the exact crimes, now you are doubting the publicly available information? I mean, I'm trying to help you here, but if you are unaware of the most basic stuff, this is going to take a while. Of the stuff Hillary failed to wipe from her server the FBI found at least 110 emails that contained classified information at the time they were sent....so that's conclusive evidence that she was guilty of at least 110 counts of the crime I spelled out to you earlier. If Hillary were nearly anyone else, or if the FBI wasn't compromised, at very least she'd have ended up with probation and a fine assuming she was able to avoid jail time. Fortunately for her, the FBI was compromised so they helped make the case go away.

    None of what I said is really controversial in any way....it's just that Hillary supporters don't like thinking about it so they often pretend it never happened.

    ....I just spelled that out for you, but I'm starting to think you might be slow....or that you are just trolling.

    Ah, so it's trolling then? Gotcha. Well, I suppose some good can come from this anyway, perhaps there were some people that needed those things spelled out for them and I did so well enough to where even a child could follow along.

    I've had him "disappeared" for a while now and it's given me the free time I needed to finish the 2 novels I had been meaning to get to, and another history of the war in the Pacific during WWII, Neptune's Inferno: The US Navy at Guadalcanal, by Hornfischer, which is excellent, by the way. I have Bobby to thank for that, in a manner of speaking.

    You are so right, B-Bob.

    And trump, perhaps knowing that Mueller has the necessary evidence and testimony, switches back to the "So what, collusion with Russians is not a crime" defense...

    Trump: Even if there was collusion with Russia, 'it’s not a crime'
