Trump impeachment vote fails overwhelmingly

[computer fogie]

Muellers team has been completely discredited the past week...

You can't really believe this.

 

[44nutman]

Trump is likely to win reelection in 2020.

He is fat, 72 and loves McDonalds. Donny Smallhands will lose to his arteries in 2020.

Washington (CNN) - A former top counterintelligence expert at the FBI, now at the center of a political uproar for exchanging private messages that appeared to mock President Donald Trump, changed a key phrase in former FBI Director James Comey's description of how former secretary of state Hillary Clinton handled classified information, according to US officials familiar with the matter.

Electronic records show Peter Strzok, who led the investigation of Hillary Clinton's private email server as the No. 2 official in the counterintelligence division, changed Comey's earlier draft language describing Clinton's actions as "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless," the sources said.

The drafting process was a team effort, CNN is told, with a handful of people reviewing the language as edits were made, according to another US official familiar with the matter.

The shift from "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless," which may appear pedestrian at first glance, reflected a decision by the FBI that could have had potentially significant legal implications, as the federal law governing the mishandling of classified material establishes criminal penalties for "gross negligence."
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, raised questions over why the change was made after receiving documents from the FBI last month, but the identity of who was behind the edit has not been reported until now.

CNN has also learned that Strzok was the FBI official who signed the document officially opening an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, according to sources familiar with the matter. As the No. 2 official in counterintelligence, Strzok was considered to be one of the bureau's top experts on Russia.

But the news of Strzok's direct role in the statement that ultimately cleared the former Democratic presidential candidate of criminal wrongdoing, now combined with the fact that he was dismissed from special counsel Robert Mueller's team after exchanging private messages with an FBI lawyer that could be seen as favoring Clinton politically, may give ammunition to those seeking ways to discredit Mueller's Russia investigation.

The FBI and the Justice Department declined to comment.

CNN reported in November that Comey and his FBI colleagues were "playing with the language" throughout the process of drafting Comey's statement on Clinton, believing that they needed to condemn the former secretary of state's handling of classified information, while also making clear they would not recommend criminal charges, according to a source familiar with the FBI decision.
Comey ultimately called Clinton's conduct "extremely careless," but said "no reasonable prosecutor" would pursue charges based on the evidence.

"Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information," Comey said back in July 2016.

Grassley said that documents the FBI provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee in November included an earlier draft of Comey's exoneration statement from May 2016, which stated: "There is evidence to support a conclusion that Secretary Clinton, and others, used the private email server in a manner that was grossly negligent with respect to the handling of classified material."

Grassley then asked for the electronic "metadata," which would include "who created the original drafts, who made the edits to the draft statement, and when those edits were made."

Sources familiar with the requests tell CNN that Grassley has received the metadata, but he wants the FBI to provide further explanation about the changes.

Grassley's office did not return a request for comment.

I agree this is a major risk, but his dad lived to 94 and at least Trump doesn't smoke or drink. I'm pretty confident that if his health doesn't decline too much before 2020, he'll win reelection.

Dude was the director of the goddamn FBI. At that point, your reputation is based on shit you actually did. You can worry about the guy that looks like a meathead and talks hard. I'm going to worry about the guy who can't tell me about 95% of the stuff he does for fear of prison. If that guy also happens to be a giant, or has a jaw that puts Sly Stallone to shame, then fuck me twice.

People too often rise to their level of incompetence.. That's enhanced when they are an inch taller than average or have a big head. I'm advocating for actual intelligent people, OR people with actual strength. Preferably both.

 

[Amerikuracana]

Trumps age, weight, and willingness to eat food that would make a dog sick does worry me.

Let's give government more power. That will fix things!

Both democrats and republicans are abusing their power because they have so much of it. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

But we had Ron Paul, and we rejected him. The American people don't want people that will work for them, they want people who will tell them the sweetest stories while fucking them in the ass.

Any day now.

So...it's not happening?

 

[MiniCraque]

You're gonna be seeing this picture over and over again for the next 8 years. It gives us pleasure that all the pain and suffering you're going to endure for the next 8 years will lessen your lifespans. And knowing that you're going to be shorted a few years out of your life gives us great pleasure and will add a few extra years to ours.

Bro, if you're taking it this personally it might be time to take a step back from this forum. I mean it.

 

[JonnyRingo84]

Muellers team has been completely discredited the past week in case you've been hanging around this liberal echo chamber too long and missed it.

maybe so. so if they claim that trump is bought after this subpoena, we should just ignore it?

This guy is off the team, he has no influence over anything. To say "Mueller's team is completely discredited" is just a way of saying "I won't accept that Trump is guilty of anything, no matter what anyone finds out about him".

He's just trying to keep kayfabe. Don't work yourself into a shoot.

You're sounding a little deranged here, tbh.

 

[TSO]

Very true, our country has never been as stupid as it is now.

As has been demonstrated by all the left wing riots these past few months. You guys get dumber by the second.

Lolz at this nonsense even being attempted. How embarrassing.

Almost as funny as republicans spending millions of dollars investigating Benghazhi and then admitting they didnt find anything.

Almost as funny as republicans bring an ObamaCare repeal-vote to the floor over 50 times, and then not being able to repeal it when they control the Senate.

 

[NC252]

jokes aside, it may be coming.

how long will explanations like "my lawyer wrote it" work, even with a republican congress? mueller looking into finances now....

It's going to take the Democrats winning big in 2018. That's the only way it will happen.

Almost as funny as the Dems controlling both chambers AND the presidency for the first 2 years of Obama's residency and couldn't get shit done.



See, I can do it too

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

The case was brought forth was all empty, unsubstantiated diatribe surrounding white nationalism and how trump emboldened people who follow it -- no where near cause for impeachment and democrats knew it thus why they didn't back that whack job.

This also hurts future tries to to pursue legitimate impeachment by trying to force the issue early.

Buddy did way more harm than good to their cause

 

[oleDirtyBast4rd]

You guys have posted garbage like this 2947384638643x more than anyone in this forum has even IMPLIED the actual end of Trump's administration.

There's definitely some increasingly nervous people around here, but they sure as hell aren't the ones posting "this is it" when a breakdown of Trump's tax plan is posted and discussed by working adults.

Been here a month and wants to tell us whats been posted a year ago. Or are you a returning troll ?
