Here's hoping Bill Barr meets the same fate, at the very least... We have them for obstruction. Expect some sweet plea deals...

And for the umpteenth time, "I am NOT running!"

Edit:

Here's another one that should have been locked up already. What's the hold up?

    The journal article isn't about stuff that happened 50 years ago.

      Keep it going with your vague hatred and anger. All your retirement savings are going to people who know what's actually going on.

            Oooh.

            Now there's some bait.

            No, I don't hate Trump.

            I laugh and cry, not in that order, but simultaneously, at the thought; that these United States of America have fallen so low. That he is our President.

            But I don't hate him. I wish him only the best. Why would I do otherwise?

            Let's have an election and a better President next term.

            I'm now a registered Democrat. I'm going to do my absolute best to ensure there's a better candidate nominated by the Democratic party to run against this giant gaping asshole in the next general election.

            Is that good enough for you?

            I still don't hate him. I don't want him to be hurt or even removed from office. I just want to see him lose an election to a better candidate.

              Lol, a democrat. Trump is the least corrupt president we've had in a long time, they are so corrupt they can't believe these investigations into him arent turning up anything. No democrat is going to be an improvement on Trump. Not that it matters though, the US is run by the banks not the president. The bank bailouts are back, the bail ins are on their way.

                "Lol, a democrat"

                Through the primaries, at least.

                "Trump is the least corrupt president we've had in a long time"

                Since Carter, yeah.

                "No democrat is going to be an improvement on Trump."

                Gabbard would definitely be an improvement on Trump.

                A 39 (40?) yo combat medic, versus a septegenarian real estate tycoon and reality tv personality.

                "No democrat is going to be an improvement on Trump."

                  You think Tulsi Gabbard is going to be nominated? She is antiwar, no way the DNC would ever nominate someone like that given they are essentially the party of the CIA.

                  Trump know how to do it. He talks his support for the military up big while avoiding entering any conflicts.

                    What I know is I am registered for the primaries and I'll vote for her there.

                          Fine, then vote for Trump. Your vote doesn't matter anyway according to you, unless it's for a democrat apparently. And Trump is a democrat, running as a republican.

                              Your argument is "I'm throwing away my vote" by voting for a third party, but you arent by voting for a Democrat. And do you not remember Trump was always a democrat before the 2016 election? https://www.thoughtco.com/was-donald-trump-a-democrat-3367571 [thoughtco.com]

                              I'm afraid he's right. The prez is a democrat. And despite all this drama, he and the Clintons are very tight. What else could have provoked her move to New York and run as senator? They are Siamese Triplets.

                              And furthermore, I will venture to say he is the false flag to scare people away from voting for independents and back to the democrats after that waste of time that was Obama...

                              It is also true that Tulsi has no chance in the DNC. She is only sheepdog at this point. Their candidate has already been chosen, and she's not it. The fraud in'16 only further confirms (something we knew since '68) that voting in a DNC primary is a waste of time. Her only chance is on the outside and with the non-voters. It's time to leave the republicans and democrats behind.

                              The rematch looks more and more likely. The gag will have worked one way or another. The Party will stand as strong as ever with 95% of the vote.

                  Just wondering, what are your top five picks for people currently in the running for the president (this includes candidates from any party)

                    Gabbard is by far the top pick from those I'm aware of. I'm pretty unimpressed with most of them. And you can say any party but there's only one major party that's really going to primary this time. When the Rs have a popular incumbent they don't do much of a primary. So after Gabbard, I guess Sanders would be second, followed by Williamson and Yang. Can't even come up with 5 major party candidates to put on my list, that's just four.

                    Third parties exist, I've voted for them many times, but I know very well how thoroughly the system is rigged against them. As crazy as things are getting, of course, it's possible one of the major parties will collapse soon. It seems like it has to happen at some point, of course. But I don't have any clear idea who's going to wind up nominated for the LP or the Green Party. They both get some sympathy from me on policy, and sometimes run great candidates. If we wind up with a Corporate Dino candidate vs Trump then my vote could easily go third party. But it makes sense to me that given there is 1 candidate I can be strongly in favor of that she should get full support for the primary.
