    Aren't you trying to claim that the FBI operation against Avanatti was at the direction of Trump?

    It's funny that you think that arming the Ukrainians with DEADLY weapons makes Trump Putin's "puppet!" But of course, you probably had NO IDEA that Trump armed the Ukrainians with deadly weapons! You wouldn't have seen that on CNN! :roflol:

    Was Trump's FBI supposed to not investigate crimes or something?

    Possibly. Does it make a difference that he didn't work for an American news company?

    I think a journalist is a journalist -

    He went after some US whistleblowers - hard. Mueller again in some of the cases .. currently being sued the FBI - 100 million - 5 of them.

    Dinesh D'souza broke the law, and even admitted it. He was charged with one crime and served less than a year.

    NSA Whistleblowers Seek $100 Million for Their Troubles
    FIVE FORMER GOVERNMENT officials quietly filed a federal lawsuit last week seeking more than $100 million for alleged retaliation after blowing the whistle on what they viewed as wasteful spending and disregard for civil liberties at the National Security Agency.

    The targets of the suit are the agencies and authorities they hold responsible for a years-long ordeal during which they were threatened with prison time and had their homes raided and property confiscated.https://www.usnews.com/news/article...leblowers-seek-100-million-for-their-troubles

    Here is a summary of Goblin Mueller's past https://www.a-justcause.com/mueller-unmasked

    Don't know since he weaponized the IRS against citizens who opposed his policies. They wouldn't admit any math errors ended in indictments because Obama is thin skinned to an extreme. He did launch an overt investigation of James Rosen for being a FOX reporter.

    This is about conservative groups in general, not journalists in particular but it says about Obama everything that needs to be said:

    IRS admits it targeted conservative groups during Obama

    August 16, 2018

    After years of denial, the IRS has admitted it targeted conservative groups during the Obama administration and punished those groups for purely political reasons.

    In a historic settlement, a judge this week approved a plan for the Internal Revenue Service to pay restitution to hundreds of conservative groups. It is the first time the IRS has been forced to pay a settlement of this kind.


    The IRS admitted to unconstitutionally targeting groups based on those group’s political philosophy and agreed to pay $3.5 million to the groups. For years the Obama administration denied that its agencies, including the IRS, did any thing wrong but the evidence was overwhelming. Those groups were harassed with intrusive inspections and denial of non-profit status.

    I see you failed to notice that journalists treated Trump worse than any president in your lifetime, and they didn't even wait until he was elected president.
    You don't have your thumb on the scale of balance here, it's your foot.

    So lift your foot for awhile, and consider that with Joe's inauguration being treated as the second coming of Jesus by those same journalists, who ignore all the negatives that they would have pounced on a like a pack of wolves if they were Trumps- and tell us how the extreme and blatant hypocrisy is justified.... or for that matter, palatable to any honorable man.

    Ask yourself what the journalistic relationship with Trump would have been like if he had been treated like Biden is-
    And what the journalistic relationship with Biden would be like now if he were being treated as Trump was.

    I know. You don't really want to go there- and if you did, I don't think you would be willing to honestly face those questions.
