    Barr is compromised and a disgrace to the US. He should resign.

    We were totally like five minutes away from being Jade Helmed into becoming a protectorate of the CCP. If a trusted and respected newsman like Alex Jones hadn't blown the lid on it, we'd all be learning Mandrin in FEMA internment camps right now.

    I think we should just go ahead and consider that one a proven true fact.

    What.... There is literally a right wing conspiracy theory about everything. Not saying this is true in any way (it's not), but a broken clock is right twice a day.

    -Was Obama really born in Kenya?
    -Is there really an underground child sex ring in the basement of a pizza place in DC?
    -Are there really lizard people?
    -Is the government really using "weather weapons"?
    -Was Sandy Hook staged?

    You guys literally come up with the most wrong, and insanely stupid conspiracy theories known to man. The one most out there conspiracy theory the left has cooked up was that Bush orchestrated 9/11 which is sort of understandable given how much it helped his presidency and re-election, but yes it was wrong.

    The whole idea that there was this plot by Obama and Hillary TO LOSE the election, and then investigate Trump AFTER LOSING is just stupid. Yes... it is a STUPID conspiracy theory because if it had any legitimacy to it, don't you think they would release the damaging information BEFORE the election?

    Like wouldn't it make sense BEFORE THE ELECTION to release to the public that Trump has a letter of Intent directly with the Kremlin to build Trump Tower Moscow?

    The Obama admin was investigating Flynn and Trump associates.... BECAUSE IT WAS THEIR F-ING JOB just as it would be if the Trump admin's CIA found out that Joe Biden had a multi-million dollar deal in the works with the Chinese Republic while China was attacking the election in Biden's favor. The entire "Conspiracy Theory" here was that Obama's FBI and CIA were investigating the Trump campaign.... WELL NO FREAKING SH$T SHERLOCK. Big flippin conspiracy. Wow.

    Reminder too that Flynn was literally ON THE PAYROLL of the Turkish Government. Yes... literally a foreign agent. It would be malpractice NOT to investigate him. The guy should be in jail for what he did.

    What exactly did he do that he should be in jail for? I like left wing conspiracies as much as right wing ones. They don’t materialize to be true as often. But it’s still fun to play around with.

    Do you think it's wrong for someone serving in a senior national security position in the US government is also on a foreign payroll?

    What part of that is a conspiracy theory by the way?

    To each his own. The ‘Stones do have some cool songs and the are great. But the Beatles set the bar in so many ways. They were pioneers who everyone wanted to emulate or be better than. They set the bar. I read Keith Richards biography. It was really good. I don’t recall any of the Beatles ever saying they were trying to one up the ‘stones. Pet Sounds is the only thing that comes to mind that pushes the Beatles. I’m sure there was competition between the Stones and Beatles but it mainly came from the Stones.

    Dems bad Repubs good...

    So then why is Trump fighting the release of the Russian transcripts?

    Release the tax transcripts and tax records! What's Trump hiding?

    Did you miss the article from the Assistant AG who actually was part of the investigation and notified the former FBI deputy director?

    I mean if you need to be this low level educated on this topic how are we supposed to believe you deserve to have a strong opinion taken seriously?

    It is illegal to lie to the FBI. He pleaded guilty twice.

    However the bigger issue (for which a federal judge said in court that he “sold out his country” because of) is being a foreign agent for Turkey, lying about it on his background check, which is illegal, and getting the Vice President caught in a lie.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/10/us/politics/michael-flynn-turkey.html

    The guy was on another country’s payroll and sitting in one of the most trusted positions in all of government in regard to foreign policy. If you don’t have a problem with that then that’s very unpatriotic.

    Dude, he entered into a plea bargain - he pleaded guilty and void to cooperate with the FBI to avoid even more serious charges.

    When a criminal plea bargains for a lesser charge and you say it's all a conspiracy against him?

    Do you really need a link to commonly available information? I mean you can find this is 3.5 seconds - I bet it's on wikipedia by now for f's sake.

    Yeah I bet sweets would never enter a plea deal because he's ready to take on the entire US government in court.
