    I never suggested that I had a full accounting . The documentary I suggested ,the book by Lee Smith it is primarily based on , and the investigative work by John Durham and by Congressman Devin Nunes have paved the way for a full accounting . But there are still some gaps . What did the emperor know and when did he know it ? Clearly he was involved . But did he lead it or was he fed misinformation by Coomey ,and Brennan(who is most likely the real ring leader ) . The one undeniable fact is that this cabal misused their office and deceived the FISA court to permit them to spy on the Trump campaign and later orchestrate a coup attempt. What should happen to them ? Certainly nothing less than what happened to General Flynn. At the very least all of them have been lying to the Congressional committees and to the American public .

    No one insisted on having a "full accounting" PRIOR to the impeachment hearings, so why the double standard? All of this is based on the idea that, "Where there's smoke there's fire." There sure is a lot of smoke in this case.

    Please provide proof of the undeniable fact that a "cabal" orchestrated a coup attempt. I'm aware of the FISA warrant being declared invalid.

    General Flynn is guilty as hell. He's already confessed in open court.

    I can't believe a smart guy like you tomder is buying into that ridiculous bowl of nonsense.
    What is increasingly clear is that there was no basis for a belief that Flynn made false statements to FBI interviewers This was supported by the interviewing FBI agents, who concluded that Flynn had not made intentional misstatements, just failures of recollection, which are common. Under federal law, a false statement made to investigators is actionable ONLY if it is material to the matter under investigation. If there was no basis to believe Flynn had committed a crime, any false statements allegedly made by Flynn when he was questioned in January 2017 were immaterial.

    The FBI withheld this information violating the government’s duty to disclose exculpatory evidence.

    Inspector Javert Mueller did indeed coerce a confession out of Flynn by threatening prosecution of his son. His son working for Flynn's security firm allegedly failed to register with the government as a foreign agent This is a dubious allegation that was rarely handled as a criminal offense before Mueller’s probe. It was also selectively applied as Republicans were charged or threatened to be charged while Democrats like Tony Podesta were given a pass.

    Flynn pled guilty to lying three times in open court. His defense now is "I lied when I said I lied".

    Flynn admitted to repeatedly lying to the Justice Department about his work as an agent for the government of Turkey — work that he continued, and concealed, while he was working for Trump. Part of his plea deal was that prosecutors would not pursue those charges.

    Since he wants to change his plea, it would appear that he can now be charged for those other crimes. He should be allowed to plead not guilty and go to trial.

    As Trump would put it, Flynn is a traitor "the likes of which the world has never seen".

    umm no . The hardball radical Repubs set the stage for a resurgence of racist Democrats . When their power inevitably declined ;reconstruction ended ,and Jim Crow was institutionalized .(see the 1877 compromise ) .
    Had Republicans stuck with Lincoln's plan of reconciliation it is probable that the South would've reentered the Union without another almost century of Southern resentment . Lincoln’s flexibility, pragmatism, and superior political skills with Congress would have solved Reconstruction with far less difficulty. But after his assassination there was little to stop the radical Republicans . They nearly got away with a political impeachment . As it was they had no problem dominating Congress. But they in fact set back racial relations as a result .

    Now Justice Kavanaugh was opposed by the holier than thou crowd because he supposedly watched a supposed sexual assault when he was a teen-ager, an assault which was never reported to the cops and for which there was but scant evidence. Jacob Blake, on the other hand, actually DID sexually and physically assault a woman as an adult man. He is a major anti-Semite as well, and yet Kamala Harris says she is "proud" of him. How can anyone defend that? How can you be proud of a sexual predator racist?

    @Tom. Obviously defeating the southern armies didn't stop the war or the reasons for it. The subsequent laws and amendments didn't either. The civil war continues.

    That wasn't the point. It was Harris saying that she was "proud" of him that was sickening. He is an anit-semite racist for certain because that was on his website. His sexual assault case, as best as I remember, is pretty well settled as well. Sad that you are willing to give a benefit of the doubt to an obviously guilty man, but not to the guy who was "tried" with nothing more than the highly suspect memory of one witness.

    "Scared punk cop"? Wow. What an attitude towards the police.

    And the court has NOT decided yet. Blake's ex-girlfriend has alleged the assault took place.

    In terms of Harris being proud of him, that comment was taken out of context. She said she was proud of him as "he worked through his pain" while talking to Blake as he was recovering in the hospital. She said this in response to Blake saying he was proud of her for visiting his family. To construe this as Harris being proud of Blake for his past activities is simply another example of slanting the facts to support an agenda. It is far more revealing of the commentor than it is of Harris.

    A scared cop with a loaded gun is an apt description of the cop firing seven bullets into Blake's back at point-blank range in front of his young children. I can think of harsher terms for the cop's actions.

    Blake's ex-girlfriend has alleged the assault took place.
    Kind of like when Kavanaugh's accuser alleged that someone other than Kavanaugh assaulted her? Funny how that was good enough for you guys back then, but not now. And in the case of Blake's accuser, this is her story. "According to the New York Post, the woman, whose name has not been released, told police she was asleep May 3 when Blake entered her room around 6 a.m. and said, “I want my s—.” His victim alleges that he then digitally violated her, sniffed his fingers and told her, “Smells like you’ve been with other men.” And unlike the Kavanaugh incident, she called the police and pressed charges. So yeah, Jacob Blake is really a great guy that we should all be proud of.

    Come to think of it, Harris might have said something in support of his accuser. She might have spoken about Blake in those "harsher terms" you reserve only for the police. She certainly had no problems in hammering Kavanaugh for the charges against him, charges for which there was essentially no evidence. Why, we were told of the "me too" movement and how women must be believed, but in this case the alleged assailant is someone she is "proud" of and someone Athos defends. Wonder why there is such a difference? Couldn't possibly have anything to do with politics, could it?

    Interpreted what? I haven't mentioned the cops. My complaint is about Harris falling all over herself to compliment Blake and then never saying a word about the victim in the case. And all of that after her sickening "interrogation" of Kav and her fake support of the "me too" movement. Well, why isn't Blake's victim part of the "me too" movement?

    Politics. Stinkin politics. Any excuse will do. "Oh, you twisted her words. Why she was only saying she was proud of his recovery." Well, was she proud of his victim's recovery? Did she go talk to her? We all know the answer to that question. Your support of it is very troubling. There is nothing about Jacob Blake to be proud of.

    Because she is as pro-abortion as anyone on the planet. She plainly does not care about the unborn.

    As for your Snopes link, did you read this? "U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif, has maintained that the timing of carrying out an abortion should be left up to a woman. Harris was a co-sponsor of the 2019 Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA), which prohibits state laws banning post-viability abortions that do not make exceptions if a woman’s health and life are at risk."

    Or this? "This issue was presented to Harris back in February 2019, when conservative news outlet The Daily Caller asked various Democratic senators “if there was a point at which [abortion] would be considered immoral.” Harris did not offer a direct answer, instead saying: “I think it’s up to a woman to make that decision, and I will always stand by that […] I think she needs to make that decision with her doctor, with her priest, with her spouse.”

    Well, that's the great advocate for life that you are supporting.
