Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
Eh, it happens about once every couple of weeks. Something will pop up in the news, he'll come in and tell us this is nothing, he's objective, nobody really did anything that matters, we're all lunatics, he doesn't follow the story because he's too busy in the real world, now he has a bunch of notifications, and he's waiting for any evidence to come out. Rinse and repeat.
Just cuz I'm interested, this is by someone named "Gumby." However it does link to the bipartisan Senate report (remember those?). The report says nothing about a cover-up. Zippo. This was a very successful prosecution, it was huge and it led to reforms. Surprisingly Gumby does not quote the remainder of that portion, but instead points to a DOJ decision (not Mueller's) to halt investigation, however:
Hopefully that helps, maybe you could tweet a suggestion to Gumby to look at this a little more closely.
We're issuing inferences about what's going on and predictions about what may happen. We're reading the news. We're digesting the news. We're sharing facts, perspective, and shtick in a closed community.
I never said it’s nothing. In fact I don’t recall ever commenting on the Manafort thing.
I highly recommend the Zydeco gumbo. I had it the last two trips and it was wonderful.
This point isn't that you said anything particularly controversial, although you did accuse people of coming up with "insane things" and otherwise hinted at people being irrational and have been pretty smug and condescending about people who post regularly in this thread throughout. But hey, I can't complain too much about that, glass houses and all.
How about comparing to actual football and Trump being the head coach. If he surrounded himself with that many assistant coaches and coordinators who were arrested or indicted, how does that play out in the real world? Who is held accountable at the end of the day?
Just to make a comparison - is this phenomenon (people who think Trump is clean despite surrounding himself with people that have committed crimes) similar to those that think Paterno was totally clean? Or that Belichick knew nothing about taping practices of opposing teams or of football deflation?
It's not that they think he's clean, it's just all they have left to hold on to.
"Unfortunately, as time has passed it has become increasingly clear that the Justice Department did indeed make critical errors in its handling of BCCI prior to the appointment of Attorney General Barr in October, 1991, and moreover masked inactivity in prosecuting and investigating the bank by advising critics that matters pertaining to BCCI were "under investigation," when in fact they were not."
Thank you for actually looking at the report. That’s still not a cover-up, as the bipartisan report explained there were external, neutral reasons for the halt, it was unrelated to Mueller, and it was still a tremendously successful investigation.
This is a despicable lie. If he had actually done this, it would be a strong indictment of his character. But in fact he is steadfastly opposed to putting ketchup on a hot dog and has never done so as an adult.
Shader I don’t always agree with you, but I’ve never regarded you as a troll.My apologies to all I can't respond to. I can't keep up with them all.
I actually came into the thread today responding to someone on the right that thought it was odd at all the "mueller love" from the left. So I didn't pop into the thread to slam all of you. I started responding to people that responded to me, and next thing you know I've got 40+ notifications and can't keep up.
Anyway, I tried to be neutral as always, but that probably isn't a lot of fun in this particular thread. I realize you guys are enjoying this. Do I feel many of you are biased? Of course. So are the democrats in congress. It's politics. I get it. So go for it, have fun and I wont pop in anymore and bore you guys with my neutral opinion of this case. Mattias made a good point in one of his posts regarding this being a place you guys love to come and speculate and that's true. Tobias, I'm really not trying to troll, my apologies if my posts come across that way. I'm headed back to the soccer threads. A place where my opinions are always valued.
You see Shader? This is what a true troll looks like. Even if you wanted to be a troll, you’d never be able to master the form the way the above does. You’d always be an amateur.I want to be the FIRST to say it.....
Oh boy...THIS IS IT!!
The BEGINNING OF THE END!!
You're definitely one of the better...shall I say skeptics? I think its getting harder to deny what's becoming very clear however. Its like I compared it earlier to raising kids. When all their friends are getting into trouble, at some point you gotta realize your kid may be up to no good.My apologies to all I can't respond to. I can't keep up with them all.

Hey bucky while you're here could you please explain how the politico report labeled as 'russian propaganda' by McMaster was actually Russian propaganda?

The POTUS had to be explained to that he was retweeting Russian propaganda.

Or did you just accept fake news without doing any critical thinking again?ren hoek said:
I know as soon as their online campaign started gaining traction, Kushner was the guy they directed credit too for putting it together. There are no coincidences here.
This is more like remaining neutral until after the Super Bowl. Pats over Vikings? I guess I’ll accept that the Browns didn’t win.
Donald Trump Jr. (for instance) is not an anonymous source. He posted actual emails on Twitter.
