That is the part I don't understand about the logic of the die hard Hillary supporters. If you are told something that is true, what does it matter who the source is or what their motivation is?Quote:

two factions compete for control of a nation; one is intelligent, educated, experienced, dignified. the other is habitually under-educated, supersticious, racist, science-denying fuckups. both sides are craven cheaters and always have been.Quote:

the nation is weakened, and abandons its commitments to 'big picture' agendas like preserving life on our planet.
the issue is not that the 'thing we were told' is true or who told it, but that its an incomplete picture being painted to do existential damage to America.
you had me up to this point. we never gave a shit about anything that didn't directly affect us today, tomorrow, or next month. fuck five years from now.Quote:

It's not treason but it's not nothing either. Crimes were committed and the investigation into them was obstructed.Quote:

I get that every swinging dick who wants to live on a habitable planet is going to tar and feather the Trump Dynasty at every opportunity but trotting out the word 'treason' here is nothing but the same snake-oil carny preacher politics that got Trump elected; it has absolutely no basis in reality.
The Russians did what they have been doing since the 40's: engineer circumstances that undermine American political stability.
That the Trump's were so basic.... so country stupid... so overwhelmingly naive as to get this deeply gut-hooked/compromised is the real news here.
You're right, it doesn't matter or change the truth, which should be told. But it is still legit to examine the motivation of the source and if there were people involved who committed (or may have committed) crimes they should still be called to account for their actions.Quote:

If I was in Trumpland, I'd be mostly worried about Mueller. No leaks and a team of veteran investigators and prosecutors spells a lot of trouble for an admin that ignores the advice of counsel and includes a whole lot of dummies. I don't think Trump will be impeached any time soon, but plenty of people in the admin could face any number of charges. I expect a lot of shady douches from Trump Org are sweating this thing.
if trump gets impeached on something irrelevant he becomes as popular as bill Clinton and stays in office, u guys don't know what ur doing. give the Dems a better idea than "shit on the white man to appease minorities" if u want to beat trump

However, based on Trump Jr’s own release, we can see that there is now at least something there.
“This just showed up in black in black and white — released by Don Jr. himself,” he stated. “This is not released in the, you know, anti-Trump media. So you see it in black-and-white.”
He added that collusion isn’t necessarily a crime but that any denial about there not being collusion is very weak because Trump Jr. showed he was “receptive.”
After MacCallum recapped some of what had been previewed from Sean Hannity’s interview with Trump Jr., pointing out that the Trump scion said he never received any real info, she asked Krauthammer if it could be collusion if he didn’t get anything from the meeting.
“Well, it’s a hell of a defense to say your collusion might be incompetent,” he responded.

that is literally what trump jr. says happened.
assuming he's telling the truth, is this guy really this brain damaged that he didn't immediately figure out that responding to this unsolicited email -- in writing no less -- was a bad idea?
that's a whole new level of brain dead.
can you even imagine how many millions of dollars trump jr. lost to nigerian money scammers?

because treason is a very, very specific charge and, to my knowledge (and im not a lawyer mind you) the basic qualifications for a charge of treason have not been met.
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort."
what aid and comfort was rendered unto russia, where is the quid pro quo that extends beyond basic international diplomacy? did jr levy war against the US?
its 100% possible that some forgotten paralegal drops a daisycutter to a grand jury someplace that actual legal treason was pursued here but even then, look at the sorts who have actually been convicted of treason:
Philip Vigol and John Mitchell, convicted of treason and sentenced to hanging; pardoned by George Washington; see Whiskey Rebellion.
John Fries, the leader of Fries' Rebellion, convicted of treason in 1800 along with two accomplices, and pardoned that same year by John Adams.
Governor Thomas Dorr 1844, convicted of treason against the state of Rhode Island; see Dorr Rebellion; released in 1845; civil rights restored in 1851; verdict annulled in 1854.
John Brown, convicted of treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1859 and executed for attempting to organize armed resistance to slavery.
Aaron Dwight Stevens, took part in John Brown's raid and was executed in 1860 for treason against Virginia.
William Bruce Mumford, convicted of treason and hanged in 1862 for tearing down a United States flag during the American Civil War.
Walter Allen was convicted of treason on September 16, 1922 for taking part in the 1921 Miner's March with the coal companies and the US Army on Blair Mountain, West Virginia. He was sentenced to 10 years and fined. During his appeal to the Supreme Court he disappeared while out on bail. United Mineworkers of America leader William Blizzard was acquitted of the charge of treason by the jury on May 25, 1922.
Martin James Monti, United States Army Air Forces pilot, convicted of treason for defecting to the Waffen SS in 1944. He was paroled in 1960.
Robert Henry Best, convicted of treason on April 16, 1948 and served a life sentence.
Iva Toguri D'Aquino, who is frequently identified by the name "Tokyo Rose," convicted 1949. Subsequently, pardoned by President Gerald Ford.
Mildred Gillars, also known as "Axis Sally", convicted of treason on March 8, 1949; served 12 years of a 10- to 30-year prison sentence.
Tomoya Kawakita, sentenced to death for treason in 1952, but eventually released by President John F. Kennedy to be deported to Japan.
id say the biggest problem with finding a treason charge against the trumps isnt their guilt or innocence, its the layer upon layer of total bullshit russia has fed into the equation; they dont want anyone convicted of treason, they just want americans to be disgusted with their own country.
and golf claps at that, well bowled putin.
So... Let's just say that hypothetically Jr. is still not telling the entire story and this lawyer did in fact feed him damaging info.
Let's say that this transfer of info is eventually corroborated by a legit source.
Let's also say that that info included the mention of 33,000 emails being leaked... A number that hadn't been mentioned ever before.
Then you have Trump saying something about that exact number the following day.
And, just hypothetically... Let's say it's corroborated that Trump Sr. was given this info that Jr. received.
What then?

the feds nailed that embedded anon journalist for posting a hyperlink to the h.b. gary swag database dump. i dont consider it a stretch to use that same framework to put shackles on jr.
but look how pot committed the right wing is to trump right now. trump is throwing them a jesus party and that is literally more important to them than whether or not life ends on earth in their grandchildren's lifespan.
so yeah good luck getting them to break ranks and let the fbi/doj do its job.
