You got owned.

Work on reading English. I know it's not your first language.

You know, every time you resort to personal attacks, you expose that you're out of facts and logic.

Try responding to the fact: ANYONE besides Trump could have been indicted for obstruction, the exact same way ANYONE could have been indicted for 'collusion'. But NOBODY was indicted for anything even remotely related to obstruction.

Why is that?

Find me that text in the report that made everyone else besides Trump off-limits for obstruction charges.




And if democrats don't do anything different, how are they any better?

REAVERBOT never will, because REAVERBOT ALSO has a glitch in its ALU (arithmetic/logic unit).

And yes, I realize I'm resorting to personal attacks but... yanno, what the hell.. it's not like they ever listen to facts and logic anyway.

*** sigh ***

But, in the interest of promoting rational discussion, I will endeavor to stay on-point.

I'm assuming you've never worked with anybody that comes from a foreign country and who's native language is not English, Marcos.

If Sigs and Kiki are Russian plants, they're extremely talented and highly trained plants that write English better than most Americans do. Usually, just as with verbal communication, there are plenty of tells over written communication that you're talking to somebody who uses English as a second language that are fairly obvious in your first interaction with them. You don't need to hear an accent to figure it out.

I rarely ever have to ask either of them to clarify their statements. I can't say that for everybody else on these boards.

This would seem to me to be a huge waste of Russian resources to have them post in the RWED in 2019. Not only is their audience beyond small here, but I don't believe that they've actually changed a single mind on how they're going to vote. I don't think anybody's mind has ever been changed on this in the history of the RWED.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

The Mueller report is unequivocal in concluding that even if Trump is criminally innocent of obstruction, it is not for lack of trying. The main reason the investigation wasn’t completely thwarted was not that the president didn’t “endeavor” to thwart it — the definition of criminal obstruction — but rather that Trump’s subordinates refused to comply.

To take that out of lawyer-speak, Trump's subordinates understood that Trump was secretly obstructing justice, but if the subordinates refused to comply then Signym and 1kiki would not know that truth and Trump would not have to face an open-and-shut case of obstruction in a courtroom.

Most accounts of the Mueller report, understandably focused on the conclusions — obstruction? indictable? impeachable? — have omitted the detail needed to fully grasp both the madness in the White House and the sheer energy these aides had to expend to keep the presidential engine from jumping the track.

From the report itself, we learn in one example of potential obstruction of justice that on June 19, 2017, Trump instructed Corey Lewandowski, his former campaign manager, to tell Attorney General Jeff Sessions to give a speech denouncing the special counsel’s investigation. Lewandowski was at the time a private citizen — not, one would think, someone empowered to give orders to the attorney general.

Sessions, to the president’s lasting fury, had recused himself from the Russia investigation, which Trump saw as no obstacle to his further instruction to Lewandowski: tell Sessions to meet with the special counsel and order him to limit his inquiry to future election interference — implicitly shutting down the investigation into Russian interference on behalf of the Trump campaign in 2016. “Write this down,” the president told Lewandowski, who took notes on what Sessions was to say in the speech:

I know that I recused myself from certain things having to do with specific areas. But our POTUS…is being treated very unfairly. He shouldn’t have a Special Prosecutor/ Counsel b/c he hasn’t done anything wrong. I was on the campaign w/ him for nine months, there were no Russians involved with him. I know it for a fact b/c I was there. He didn’t do anything wrong except he ran the greatest campaign in American history…. Now a group of people want to subvert the Constitution of the United States. I am going to meet with the Special Prosecutor to explain this is very unfair and let the Special Prosecutor move forward with investigating election meddling for future elections so that nothing can happen in future elections….

The report then continues:

The President said that if Sessions delivered that statement he would be the “most popular guy in the country.” Lewandowski told the President he understood what the President wanted Sessions to do.

Lewandowski did not deliver this message to the attorney general.

Trump’s empty Cabinet

Standing on the White House driveway, the president told reporters, “I’m really at a point where we’re getting very close to having the Cabinet and other things that I want.”

It hasn’t quite worked out that way. Instead, Trump has a Cabinet-by-default, many of whose members were simply the last man — or woman — standing after others pulled out of the running, declined the president’s job offers or couldn’t get through their nomination hearings.

By not filling positions, Trump is making sure that those parts of the government operate without input from Trump. He is effectively not President in those parts, which helps explain the chaos running around his administration.

There are 131 key positions that have no Trump nominee for the Senate to confirm.

There are 124 key positions where no one has been confirmed, but there is a nominee.

The reasons for the unfilled positions are numerous. The White House has had some difficulty finding capable and willing candidates. The president memorably had difficulty finding a Chief of Staff to replace John Kelly. Mick Mulvaney was eventually named acting Chief of Staff after a number of other candidates declined.

And yet, look at that... the sun still rises.

Somebody really needs to Six Sigma the Government and get rid of all of those unnecessary positions.
