Your point was quite clear...fuck you Comrade DinC.<br /><br />Your point was quite clear. You fully expect and wish for the politicization of the multitudes of investigations by pervert traitor pussygrabber in chief. And you're just AOK with that. Your fucking hypocrisy is blatant. I remember well how you fuckers demanded President Obama to completely grant your fucking republican FBI director complete and total independence in his phony email investigation, where he devoted tons of more resources to compared to his investigation of Russian interference in our democratic presidential election.<br /><br />Complete fucking hypocrisy on your part.mmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-8766345296694654782017-03-12T14:08:59.834-04:002017-03-12T14:08:59.834-04:00mm -- my point was a practical one. The Obama Jus...mm -- my point was a practical one. The Obama Justice Dept couldn't find evidence of collusion, so a Justice Dept loyal to Trump surely won't find such evidence. I think this is a reasonable forecast, whether or not improper collusion actually occurred. If Trump runs for re-election in 2020, some Dems will still be claiming improper collusion, but there still won't be any evidence.<br /><br />If by "interference with an intelligence agency", you mean "replacing the US Attorneys", you know that this is routine. Our biased media treated it as normal when Obama did it and when Bill Clinton did it, but are treating it as a scandal when Trump is doing it.<br /><br />Do I applaud Trump's action? I think it was appropriate, given the level of leaks and the undermining of Trump from within the government. It's unfair to the many honorable government employees, but Trump needs to replace all the political appointees in order to eliminate the ones secretly working against him. Even that step won't be enough. Chances are some civil service basis workers are also secretly working against Trump.

As a result, people listen to the news they want to hear and are spared from hearing what they don’t like. <br />Obviously, Fox news and Rush fit this description, and so do MSNBC and The Daily Kos, to name only two.<br /><br />http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/3/5/3/35321d3eebba00bc/live_wire_332.mp3?c_id=14468069&expiration=1489342279&hwt=d9362eac22e40b924cf024c85dddca43<br /><br />BTW, I asked a friend in the State Department about the Andrea Mitchell ejection. She said it was hard to evaluate why that happened without knowing the nature of the meeting. Was it a Q&A press conference, or a “We talk, you listen” photo op?
