    Yep, and Barack Obama would have never gotten past his Community Organizer scam days as a Saul Alinsky disciple; and thus would have ONLY screwed up the streets of Chicago to this day..

    You need to try and be a bit more creative. My alternate true life for the Dumpster Fire is, if I do say so myself, far more entertaining.

    Good to know your standards, or lack thereof. Do please be sure and share with the thread your well-known and well-documented sources for Obamagate and your sources describing the exact timeline when the DOJ and the FBI took over the GOP's Steele Stories.

    The IG already looked into this. It wasn't illegal or politically motivated. You can drop the fake argument and address the actual topic any time now

    I don't see such an urging and Barr has not leaked any specifics about the investigation. He did not even leak yesterday that one of the former FBI lawyers is pleading guilty about crime he committed in all of this. Not an indictment but a guilty plea.

    That was not what the IG determined and the first guilty plea has been announced.

    That is what the IG determined: no evidence of political bias, properly started. Now, care to rejoin us on the topic?

    No he did not make that determination

    Horowitz Pushes Back on Claim that He Exonerated FBI of Political Bias: ‘We Did Not Reach that Conclusion’

    Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz clarified Wednesday that his investigation into the FBI’s FISA abuses “did not reach” the conclusion that the bureau was unaffected by political bias during its 2016 Russia investigation.

    An admittance that the FBI lied in a FISA warrant application to investigate the campaign of an opposition Presidential campaign in now "nothing to see"?

    The absurdity of faux defenses never ceases to amaze.

    National Review is a joke and didn't provide a complete quote. Meanwhile, even they acknowledge that the IG report did not find documentary or testimonial evidence of political bias in the opening of Crossfire Hurricane. You are likely talking about something other than the opening/justification for the investigation. But, seriously, the topic is still here if you ever manage to address it.

    You are talking about the Page warrant, which wasn't even a source used to justify the investigation, and Page wasn't even a part of the Trump team any longer. Speaking of faux defenses.

    Has Trump figured out what "Obamagate" actually is? I mean, I know he always says, "You know what it is" but those of us not in the twilight zone, don't actually know to what he is referring.

    You are somebody who I'm going to make sure I ping with quotes from Mike Cohen's book...

    Here's an early one from the foreword

    Cohen says: 'Trump had colluded with the Russians, but not in the sophisticated ways imagined by his detractors.

    Barr does not need to "craft" anything. The truth is enough.

    But used as a funnel into the campaign and an investigation into it.

    It was his Congressional testimony and anyone who states that National Review is a joke and just a partisan hack. Yea first he could only interview CURRENT employees, you expect that those who remained were just going to state "Yes it was all my political bias" and he did not have all the documents.

    Give it up he did not determine what you claimed not by a long shot.

    Oh no another fired Trump employee that got caught cheating in a taxi scheme is writing a damning book. LOL you lefties are so damn easy to make money off of. I can't wait for fbi Peter to write his book telling us what Mules missed or vol 2 of Comey telling us how great he is and Orange man bad. You'll eat it up no doubt, for 3 years you've been wrong about everything you predicted but you stuck with your guns even as your board cred plummeted, I'll give you that.

    "Trump had cheated in the election, with Russian connivance, as you will discover in these pages"

    I'll hook you up... connivance = "willingness to secretly allow or be involved in wrongdoing, especially an immoral or illegal act."

    Cohen had access to a thesaurus in prison.... Club Fed indeed....

    We even had a school to teach future potential autocrats how to do it! It was called the School of the Americas.

    Well, if the world has learned anything over the last 50 years, it is that the TRUTH has never ever been the friend of the democrat party and perhaps never will be. All you have to do is lather the DNC pick with truth's and they fall apart.
