the Keith article is excellent - it certainly adds a new element to what we've always accepted as the normal peaceful transition from one administration to the next
I guess that long line of historical precedent has been destroyed - by the democrats
we've always pointed to that to tell others that this is one of the things that separates us from other countries
we can't do that any more

Nhtagmember— And not a single Democrat in office has expressed any concern about this, as far as I know. Unspeakable.

i guarantee it has not even crossed their minds. They are totally incapable of considering the consequences of their actions.

Kanye West is back defending Trump and his supporters on a recent interview on David Letterman’s Netflix series, “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction”
"They are “treated like enemies of America because that’s what they felt,” the “Gold Digger” hitmaker explained. “Have you ever been beat up in your high school for wearing the wrong hat?”
Letterman then asked Kanye, “who is doing the bulk of the bullying in America right now?”
“Liberals bully people who are Trump supporters,” Kanye replied."

diGenova says FBI Dir Wray is stonewalling AG Barr about how the counterintelligence investigation got started.
He says Barr went to President Trump and told him Wray was not cooperating. Then President Trump put out the memo telling the agencies to cooperate w AG Barr.
MHO: diGenova has good insight into what is going on
That was a good interview sdy. I dont believe their ever was anything but abuses of power throughout the obama years. I dont believe they were even good at what they did. More of a ameture hour lot of people in high positions who took nothing serious about being Government. When and if heads begin to roll, some get a trip to a Federal lock up, I am going to applaud and laugh 'till I pee myself. Take it to them Mr Barr.

I'm starting to think Biden is running for President for only one reason: To try and save his ass.
I believe the corruption went to the top of the Obama administration, creepy Joe included. And I think everyone associated is nervous.

This weekend, I had the opportunity to sit down and sift through an older thread. With hindsight-clarity, it's something I think most of the members of SigForum would probably enjoy a great deal.
If you'd like a reminder of where we were, and what we thought of Donald Trump, you should spend some time reading this historical collection. It really covers the gambit of emotions and commentary that make SigForum such a fun and interesting place to hang out.

''GOP senators say that if the House passes articles of impeachment against President Trump they will quickly quash them in the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has broad authority to set the parameters of a trial.
While McConnell is required to act on articles of impeachment, which require 67 votes — or a two-thirds majority — to convict the president, he and his Republican colleagues have the power to set the rules and ensure the briefest of trials.
“I think it would be disposed of very quickly,” said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
“If it’s based on the Mueller report, or anything like that, it would be quickly disposed of,” he added.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), an adviser to McConnell’s leadership team, said “nothing” would come of impeachment articles passed by the House.''

Good video. Regarding Brennan and the supposed source close to Putin that can't be revealed, either:
a) he's lying, there is no source b) there is a source and Putin already knows and has been feeding them dis-information c) there is a source and Putin didn't know, but does now due to Brennan blabbing and will quickly determine who.
either b) or c) means Brennan divulged classified info at probably TS level simply by saying we have a source close to Putin.
Unlike the theory in the video, I doubt whether his clearance was revoked or not matters, you can't legally divulge classified info just because you don't have a clearance anymore. It is also pretty easy to revoke a clearance, happens all the time.

Trump vows to uncover Russia probe roots with declassification call: ‘We’re exposing everything’
"All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope."
--Sir Winston Churchill
"The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday if a Supreme Court vacancy occurs during next year's presidential election, he would work to confirm a nominee appointed by President Donald Trump.
That's a move that is in sharp contrast to his decision to block President Barack Obama's nominee to the high court following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February 2016.
At the time, he cited the right of the voters in the presidential election to decide whether a Democrat or a Republican would fill that opening, a move that infuriated Democrats.
Speaking at a Paducah Chamber of Commerce luncheon in Kentucky, McConnell was asked by an attendee, "Should a Supreme Court justice die next year, what will your position be on filling that spot?"
The leader took a long sip of what appeared to be iced tea before announcing with a smile, "Oh, we'd fill it," triggering loud laughter from the audience.
David Popp, a spokesman for McConnell, said the difference between now and three years ago, when McConnell famously blocked Judge Merrick Garland's ascension to the Supreme Court, is that at that time the White House was controlled by a Democrat and the Senate by Republicans. This time, both are controlled by the GOP.
McConnell has made the confirmation of federal judges a key part of his Senate legacy and a highlight of his stump speech in Kentucky where he is running for a seventh term.
At the lunch, he said overhauling the judiciary is the best way to have a "long-lasting positive impact" because "everything else changes."
"What can't be undone is a life time appointment to a young man or woman who believes in the quaint notion that the job of the judge is to follow the law," he said. "That's the most important thing we've done in the country, which cannot be undone."

A seventh term.
36 years going on 42. This is a big part of what is wrong with Washington.
Come on Kentuckians. Find a qualified person to primary his wrinkled old ass and send him out to pasture.
Our representatives should serve no more than two terms.

DoJ announcement that Mueller will speak at 11 a.m. at the Justice Department on the "investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election."
Mueller has told congress he doesn't want to testify in public, but would testify in a closed door setting.
