Please provide factual information, first hand data and documents to support and prove that accusation. Until you can, it is only your opinion, which is clouded by your stated declaration of war on trump. And it is just as valid as anyone else's, including mine.
The Nunes memo is exactly that. The unfounded public attacks on the FBI's credibility are exactly that. Nunes's coordination of the White House he was supposed to be investigating is exactly that. Ryan's approval of Nunes's tactics is exactly that. McConnell's refusal to bring to the floor a bill to protect Mueller's independence is exactly that.
Donny firing the FBI Director because he wouldn't back off the Russia investigation is exactly that. Donny's attempt to fire Mueller is exactly that. That's just off the top of my head. I'm quite sure there's more that doesn't immediately come to mind. --Bob
Aside from the fact that everything you stated is an OPINION, you did well.
"unfounded": Your opinion. Many believe that the FBI has a lot to answer for, and their reasons are every bit as valid as yours, counselor. Give us proof they are 'unfounded accusations'.
"coordination of the White House": I'm not even sure what that means. Perhaps in your blind rage you meant 'with' instead of 'of'. Regardless, I believe the investigation was of the FBI and DOJ's role, and the evidence they found led them where it led them. It's your OPINION that Nunes 'coordinated' anything. Give me some facts, counselor. Documents, first-hand quotes by people who engaged in the alleged coordination, you know, something that supports your assertion....
"Ryan's approval of Nunes's tactics": Again, you would not be able to use that in any court, sir. What were Nunes tactics? From what I saw, the committee followed a very strict procedure. He summarized their findings to date, they voted, they had it scanned for any sensitive information, they sent it to the White House for approval and then released it. They didn't leak it, like pretty much all stories negative toward trump's administration get to the MSM.
"firing the FBI Director because he wouldn't back off the Russia investigation": Your OPINION, sir. Notwithstanding that your side had called for his firing several months before it happened, no one involved, to my knowledge, stated that as the reason. Please provide me with SOME documentation supporting your theory.
"Donny's attempt to fire Mueller": Hearsay. Denied by President Trump. And besides that, IT NEVER HAPPENED! Mueller is still there, chugging along, spending my money. Try to use that as evidence in any court other than the Ninth Circuit and see where it gets you, counselor.
Until you can provide some semblance of a coherent case, I think you need to recuse yourself.
I'll add one more thing, bob. You represent yourself to this bored as a lawyer. I have no reason to doubt that. But for me, I believe that lawyers are supposed to cherish the truth above everything else. That, to me, in my naivety, is what the profession is supposed to be about. Your pronouncement when trump got elected, that you would oppose him in every way possible and seek whatever ways you could to get him out of the office he was duly elected to, was a betrayal of your profession. I believe you are a lawyer, but I don't believe you are a very good one. And you, yourself, are evidence that there may well be people in the FBI and Justice Department who did what they are being accused of.
