    Oh yes, the White House Counsel who clearly contradicted himself multiple times? Got it.

    Now, where in that tweet can I find even a reference to the WaPo article?

    OK, the left keeps suggesting.

    Trump has a lawyer. The lawyer came out to explain what Trump knows. Trump knows he is not under investigation. We have a name to the allegation that Trump is not under investigation. Jay Sekulow is the name.

    What is the name of the person that alleges Trump is under investigation again? What department does the person allege to be in?

    Before Comey admitted Trump was not under investigation, still the left kept claiming Comey was investigating him.

    This is just the same old worn out dialogue that claims but can't name a person making claims.

    So to clarify, you find The Five to be a non-partisan show. Yet, Carlson is just too partisan? Huh? Both shows have an obvious slant. The difference is one show lets the Liberal speak, and the other only pays that lip service.

    Wallace got the debates because he has a Sunday show. If they wanted a non-partisan from Fox, they would have chosen Shepard Smith, a hard news guy.

    Ain't jack **** in this tweet that would indicate he is making fun of the Washington Post.

    Fascinating, Robert. But not what this thread is about. It's about the lawyer saying twice that Trump was under investigation, then having a meltdown when Wallace points that out to him. It really isn't about Comey and claims.

    No, especially now I find the 5 to be more and more partisan, just like Chuck Todd is fairly partisan Left.

    I do however respect the format with which they present their show. The 5 (used to be) a great place to see views clash with one another, ideally I always thought they should have gotten rid of Guilfoyle as she was the "angry partisan" that I am talking about. Same reason I didn't like Beckel.

    But otherwise, you would get:
    Bollin - Conservitive
    Perino - Republican
    Gutfield - Libertarian
    Williams - Democrat
    (which is why I thought this last spot should have been filled with a Progressive or Liberal, similar to Beckel but not all angry)

    Chuck Todd IMO gives the most rational presentation of the typical Liberal Stance and sets it up against Rational Republicans who can at least create a backboard to the left wing agenda.

    I don't care how smart the person casting to me is, I have plenty enough confidence in my own intelligence. I wan to see what the two sides of the United States are pushing as their argument so I can agree or disagree as I see fit.

    The two parties are absolute dog ... poop. But since we generally have to pick between the two, I find whichever side I agree with more and weigh that with my support over all issues.

    Since now days, being an independent is scorned upon by both parties.

    I am proud of Chris Wallace and Fox News for their non partisan recognition of BS. How about you, Hannity?

    Putting words in my mouth does nothing for my argument.

    Grow up

    Wait a second, you think Chris Wallace is more to the left than Sheapord Smith?

    Are you joking?

    Trump does not know he is not under investigation. Nor does Jay Sekulow. Mr. Sekulow knows that Trump has not received official notification of an investigation - a notification that is not required.

    Of course it does, he was responding to the WaPo story and was quite humourous. Sorry it goes over your head.

    No, I'm saying Smith is more objective and suitable for a debate. I'm pretty sure Shep is a Liberal too.

    First off, **** off with the condescending comment.

    Now, answer my question - the one you have avoided multiple times by repeating the same argument over and over again.

    Where in this tweet do I find that he is responding to the Washington Post story or that he was even referencing the WaPo story?

    Shep is a pretty intense Liberal, when you get a chance I think you may find the comparison between him and Wallace interesting. But it really isn't close as to who is more of a liberal

    Sorry, but I think Sean is sitting by his phone, waiting for his next talking points which will be provided to him by President Trump. Trump has him well trained. Like a parrot.

    You think he has enough letters in a tweet to source the comment?

    I saw it as a tongue in cheek 'joke' meant to be something like "Uh huh, yeah, let me get this straight, I am being investigated for firing the same guy that told me to fire him?"

    Trump is a business owner Salesman type that I am all too familiar with. Unfortunately for him, these type of things are just political fodder for the other side and he is bringing all this attention on himeself.

    No, I disagree. If he was trying to be tongue in cheek (which he isn't, because he's a troll and not clever enough), he wouldn't have ended it with that "Witch hunt!" comment.

    I agree with the others. I think Trump really meant it. They say he sits around all day and watches (and screams at) televisions. I think he's just losing it. He's in way over his head. Hopefully he'll go on a long vacation to Mar-A-Lago and leave the governing of the country to the adults.

    Abso-****ing-lutely. And even if he did not, then he could have sent a tweet immediately before or after. FFS.

    Oh I get how you can convince yourself to read it in the way that sounds most rational to you, but it sure as hell does not match the context or even the punctuation used by Trump.

    I can agree that Trump is bringing a hell of a lot of **** onto his own head.

    I agreed all along with your point about The Five, and how they need another lefty of some kind. They also need to let them talk. I'm not sure I agree with your distinction between Perino and Bolling, or the way you split them. I find Bolling to me more of a party guy than Perino. /shrug

    I would also define Williams as more of a Liberal than a partisan Democrat. I think adding Bob back would give you that partisan Democrat, while having a more general Liberal, such as Juan. The problem is, it doesn't seem like Bob can sit through a whole show, until it's his turn to speak. He is deeply offended by every view of the right.

    Chuck Todd is pretty fair; I agree with that. He has his positions, but he at least admits a different view can exist, without invoking Hitler.

    I think you are defining rational republicans as Never Trumpers, who exclusively sit on his panels. Regardless of what one thinks of Trump and his antics, his agenda is more Conservative, in many ways, than main stream Republican platforms. Never Trump = Rhino (in most cases).

    I agree that issues are what the voter should focus on. Political parties are of no discernible benefit to voters. At best, they let you be lazy and choose without researching the candidates. That is not a good thing, however. If the electorate were to focus on issues, we could admit more easily that sometimes the other side's idea is just better.

    We will have to agree to disagree, remember with Twitter you get a very limited amount of space. His comment to me was definitely to poke fun

    Oh I already find it interesting. But, that said, to see Shep's bias, you have to almost go looking for it. To me, Wallace shows it every time he lets a fantastic follow up question go unasked.

    Fair enough, to me Wallace does that with everyone as exemplified by the stories and videos I posted. But we can agree to disagree

    This "limited character" defense makes zero sense to me. Setting aside that he has a total of 140 characters and used 111 by my count, he could have sent another tweet immediately before or after.

    Again sorry it goes over your head. He was responding to the story they posted on Wednesday and was the talk of the town the next day and he commented on Friday putting the WaPo in their place. He claims he was not under investigation, WaPo comes out with their unsubstantiated story he is under investigation. He put them in their place. And of course this was just as Rosenstein's admonishment not to believe these unsubstantiated stories was being released.
