That's a good deal for the Democrats and Trump IMO. The DACA immigrants get citizenship and Trump gets border wall funding. That's unless there is something hidden in the detail somewhere.

In other news Trump ordered Mueller to be fired back before the summer but backed down after the White House legal team said they would resign before they did it. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/25/u...T.nav=top-news

Well I'll take it as the best we will get..

"I would certainly apologise if you’d like me to do that"

Father to little boy "you shouldn’t have broken that".

Little boy "I’ll say sorry if you want me to".

Disingenuous verbiage.

Here’s a handy hint to the most powerful individual in the world - don’t re-post random shit you see on the internet; you have a multitude of Intelligence agencies which costs around $70 billion per year - they are more reliable than some rando on Twitter.

Missing FBI texts found.

This should put the cat amongst the pidgeons.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

Depends if they find anything on them. At least they've been found, better finding out the truth one way or another.

Turns out the Dutch Intelligence Service had themselves hacked the Russian hackers and provided evidence of their activcities to the FBI back in 2016:

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

Yes found by the U.S Inspector General, I cannot wait to see his report, if and when it will be made public on the abuses that are said to have happened in the Department of Justice, under the Obama Administration.

These corrupt FBI agents never seemed to work, just text each other. Couldn’t have been very good agents, leaving a trail of their infectious investigative work.

Some texts released yesterday, saying Strzok wanted to go ‘Easy’ on the Investigation on Hillary Clinton, as she could be the president, thankfully that never happened. Then the left deploys it’s distraction technique by releasing old news about Trump wanting to fire Mueller. Trump today says it’s typical NYT Fake News.

There was a story floating about last year of a friend saying Trump wanted to fire Mueller but obviously he didn’t, he should and he does have the Authority to do so, but it would be a political disaster. The whole Mueller thing is a sham, allegedly manufactured by the Fake Russian Dossier, paid for by the Democrats and Crooked Hillary campaign.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

Yes because Trump denied it then it can't be true....

By the way Fox News also claims a source told them Trump had stated this to them: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018...urce-says.html

Is that the 'left's distraction technique' too?

Alleged by Trump and some Republicans. Hell even Trump isn't directly suggesting it. Doesn't make it true. In fact the link above from Bloomberg suggests it was information passed by Dutch Intelligence that started the FBI investigation which in turn led to the Mueller investigation. Still it can't all be a sham since two people have already been charged and pled guilty....

By

Or is Bloomberg fake news too?

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

I believe the information coming from Republican lawmakers, that the Democrats and Hillary campaign were the real ones doing the colluding, those text messages are just the icing on the cake.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

BTW Since the texts have be found we now know about this secret society, worse than Watergate, that the FBI were up too: https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/956597413543927810

I believe the information coming from Republican lawmakers, that the Democrats and Hillary campaign were the real ones doing the colluding, those text messages are just the icing on the cake.

And the crimes you are talking about that the two have Pledged guilty to are to crimes totally unrelated to any collusion, so go figure. :rolleyes:

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

It's a matter of faith though isn't it? Because they haven't provided anything other than accusational tweets. That's not information, it's fan-fiction or at best speculation.

I wonder what it would actually take for you not to believe it because you don't believe multiple news organisations with seperate sources and at least one being Pro-Trump saying he did in fact try to fire Muller because Trump said he didn't. Yet you will believe vague Tweets from Republicans.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

So the ‘insurance policy’ text means nothing?

Text messages between a certain date go missing and the last date they start up again is the same day Robert Mueller is appointed Special Counsel.

Come off it Damien. Jeez. :rolleyes:

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

Not collusion no but Mullers remit was wider than that. Here is the official task he was given:

It's been clear for some time now that Muller's been investigating illegal payments and obstruction of justice into the FBI's investigation into those payments rather than electoral interference. We know this much from Corney's own testimony after he was fired.

I don't think they will find any collusion. I said back at the time that it didn't make sense for either Russia or Trump to bother with colluding. I do believe Russia interfered against Clinton but they didn't need to be directed by Trump....

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

I wouldn’t trust Comey, he is unreliable, just look at text messages saying AG, Loretta Lynch knew what Comey was going to announce but pretended otherwise and she told him not to call it an investigation, call it a matter, he got a queasy feeling, but said it wasn’t a hill worth dying on and went along with what she told him to say, but she was wrong to do that.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation
 

Well the texts have been found so let's see what there is. We know of at least one 'shocking' revelation that on reveal of the messages where a joke.

And I have not said that these two agents didn't do anything. I have said they should be investigated. If that investigation then leads to other people being taken down so be it. However I haven't seen anything yet that escalates this story beyond the two people involved. Having a test message that talks of a 'insurance policy' means nothing in isolation. Maybe their 'insurance policy' was that the bung £100 on a Trump win to cash in? That was my insurance policy.

It's also possible for two things to be true: People in Trump's camp were up to no good and some people in the FBI were up to no good. Investigate possible crimes amongst the Democrats, Republicans and FBI if there is evidence to do so.

I didn't call the New York Times fake news when they broke the story about Clinton's e-mails. If there is a case then investigate it.

His testimony wouldn't be enough. If Muller comes out and this entire case is 'Corney told me so' then yes this is a nothing story.
