First Charges Filed in Mueller Investigation

Sgt Hulka said:
I don't know that Trump is defensible, however the same goes with Hillary. Those on the left provide no cogent arguments as to why Uranium One/DNC takeover should not be looked into other than to say it is just trump trying to muddy the waters when it was the Hill that uncovered a lot of this stuff.

Modest proposal: Put them both in jail and lets be done with them and start fresh.

Haha appreciate the proposal and as much as I want to agree, it's not right in my opinion. As much as I dislike her (full disclosure I voted for her as a registered R)...both UO and this recent controversy are defensible.

Regarding Uranium One, I'm all for investigating any donations to Clintons foundation to make sure they were above board. I've said that from the get go. I'm also fine investigating the deal to see if anything illegal happened or if there are any learnings we can glean to potentially change the law for similar deals in the future. From a legal standpoint, it appears the deal was perfectly legal and approved by several agencies within the government. Admittedly I do not know a lot about nuclear policy but I know we have one poster on this board who does and even he agrees that the Uranium One controversy is politically driven. This is the best explanation I've come across to fully understand the hype:

Regarding the Hillary/DNC/Brazille situation, I would be pissed if I were a Democrat and especially a Bernie supporter. The DNC or RNC should maintain neutrality throughout the primary process. That being said, Party and Committee politics are pretty fucking incestuous in my experience and it's probably next to impossible to maintain full neutrality. If anyone thinks the RNC was fully neutral, I have a bridge for sale. And the fundraising agreement cited in Brazile's book was written specifically for the general election.

And most importantly, there really is no comparison between an intra-party dispute and colluding with a foreign adversary to tip an election. At least Hillary and the Dems kept their shenanigans within the country.

The senate has literally made a cottage industry out of investigating HRC, with nothing to actually show for it. Now they have re-packaged the same facts to create a new Uranium One scandal. It's ridiculous. I am sure they will investigate it and nothing will come of it because there is nothing there.

DNC takeover? On the basis of that letter? A congressional investigation? That is totally wack even for the new scandal obsession Rs.

Thank you. They have spent so much tax money investigating Hillary, what 10 times on different things, only to be left with their dick in their hands. I think she is dirty, sleazy at a minimum, but damn she is out of politics (I think) now. It is used as a distraction now.

The DNC thing has more teeth than anything the Reps have come up with after how many tens of millions of dollars. The infatuation with Hillary is absurd at this point.

Plus this. I cannot believe there are folks on here who claim Mueller's investigation is a waste of time and resources but are fully on board with investigating Hillary Clinton again. She's not the fucking President nor is she in a position of leadership.

R's need to spend more time figuring out how to fix the country and less time investigating Hillary for the umpteenth time. I bet Rs wish they had used some of the time spent investigating Hillary over the past 8 years to put together a better ACA Repeal bill that might actually pass. How many times has it failed? 3, 4? I am losing count. And R's control the White House, Senate and House. Sad!

Tintin - still waiting to understand why Mueller's investigation is a waste of time. Would love to hear more.

Yep. The rube defense strategy for every attack on Trump.

1) Hillary whataboutism
2) Anti anti-Trumpism
3) Indifference

Rinse and repeat.

And Dems play into their hands by saying things like “Hillary is dirty, but..”


Fuck that. Until ONE member of her campaign pleads guilty, there’s no comparison between Clinton and Trump.

FIFY

The stuff about trump may or may not be lies, but because of their partisan blinders, the lefties on here (with a few exceptions like MDMH) are completely lacking any self awareness. All of the Hillary stuff is a nothing burger, but ALL of the Trump stuff is evil/felony/impeachable offense that the stupid rubes just can not see.

Edited to say that this place has become nothing more than a UNC sports board with the left being UNC fans and the right NCSU, et al.

very good post
 
LOL. The right are the ones complaining about their side being investigated. The right has all the power. Complete lack of self awareness in that comparison.
 
When sailor says very good post, you know it is some of the most inane crap ever posted on a message board. Never fails.
 
That's all he's got.
 
FFS, I wish the RNC had done something, anything to keep a crazy person from hijacking their Party’s nomination process. If only Low energy Jeb had bought off the RNC from the beginning.
 
Until voters give R’s a reason to change, what motivation is there for them to actually govern?
 
Flynn and his son are likely to be indicted, per NBC
