    I assume this is targeted at McCabe. Trump hasnt been charged with anything.

    Neither was Nixon when he called the Watergate investigation a "witch hunt" in the fall of 1973. The quoted article is actually just weeks before the "Saturday Night Massacre," Nixon's last desperate freak out.

    Interesting and possibly relevant history to understand:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Watergate_scandal

    Defend your values, good sir. Don't defend a lying POS just b/c of his random party affiliation. (But you'd have good company if you keep carrying his water. Nixon still had positive approval ratings among republicans when he left office.)

    The irony is cringe worthy.

    Don't think Nixon had been either. But yes, believe this about McCabe... :rolleyes:

    7 sealed indictments this past week...How likely the name Trump is on some of them.

    Trump's obsession with McCabe is amusing, like he is the one key witness that Trump needs to discredit in order to keep his house of cards in place.

    His wife took money from Clinton while he was trying to investigate Clinton so you guys can just forget all about Eric Prince meeting with the Russians in the Seychelles.

    Trump had nothing to do with it. Obama appointed IG started an investigation before Trump was in office. Democrats demanded the investigation. Investigation found McCabe to have lied about leaking to the media. Mueller appointed ethics director said to fire him. so he was fired.

    Trump is obsessed with McCabe. Quit, if you can, being so idiotically obtuse.

    you make such compelling arguments. how can anyone disagree? your evidence is astounding.

    Rumor has it if you repeat your position a third time it makes even more sense. give it a try.

    Lucky for Trump, he knows more about history than historians.

    Prominent Republicans on the Judiciary Committee disagree with your opinion.

    Some advice for Trump's campaign: If you are innocent, then stop acting guilty.

    Some advice for Trump's defenders: Don't talk about a lack of charges against anyone until the investigation is concluded. It is a weak position and makes zero sense. It appears like you have nothing else upon which to hang your hopes.

    A question for Trump's defenders: Why? So far all we've seen is that he's lied, surrounded himself with corrupt criminals and foreign agents.

    You deliberately ignored the substance of B-Bob's post. How typical of you.
