The Bush recession is coming. I’m looking to take advantage of the derivatives market so I can cake up when the markets crash.

hey bud, remember 7 months ago when i said illegally obtained FISA warrants and a weaponized Obama DOJ/FBI was the story? All based on a Dossier bought and paid for by the DNC and HRC via Fusion GPS? Remember that? lol yeah me too. And you told me Trump-russia collusion was the real story.Yeah good times.
Ok th enext major story will be the exposure of the same DOJ/FBI/INtelligence community to the uranium One. But that will take some time. Thats the next way down the road story.
Around the corner? That next story is Rod Rosenstein. He's Gone!! Charges may even be brought against him. Greg Jarrod reporting tonight that Rosenstein threatened the entire GOP intelligence community with Subpeoning all of their texts and emails a few weeks ago when they they first wrote this memo. (intimidation and obstruction of oversight aka justice anyone??)I knew he always looked like a dip shxt. Bruce Ohr is gone too. Likely charges. We already know Mccabe likely screwed himself over out of his retirement.
but anyway those are your 2 next major stories.
I would add that on the day Comey was fired. the next day mueller interviewed for the job. Trump rejected Mueller. The very next day (as then acting FBI director) Rosenstein assigned Mueller as special counsel. hmmmmm? Conflict of interest anyone?
So you reject a guy who interviews for a job and the next day he is assigned and special prosecutor???? thats how justice works in this great country?
Keep in mind that Flynn lied about completely legal discussions with Russians in Dec 2016 to Mccabe only because Russia fever and the DOJ/FBI was leaking anything and everything to the press and CNN was running with it 24/7 on hyper drive all in an attempt to ruin Trumps political capital. Keep in mind Trump entered office with near 50% approval ratings.
and through all of this. No collusion.
These are just part of the reasons why Trump calls this a witch hunt. A disgrace. A ruse. and he cant even talk about this to the american people because every word he says CNN and Mueller will run with as obstruction of justice.
I said it 9 months ago. I will say it again. The existing Obama DOJ/FBI was booby trapped to make president trump sit on his hands and do nothing. barrack Obama may be proud of himself in an "the ends justifies the means." But he should be effing ashamed from here to eternity. He really should be.
and still, people like me. That knew better. Have to sit here and listen to people like PointGod and GTN and even Ruzious tell me that none of this matters. Seriously guys. WTF is wrong with you!!??? How does this not matter. You cant be so dense as to think the ends actually justifies the means.
Trump set out to do many things. One of them was to #draintheswamp.

Alright let's make a bet then. You can never post in this thread again of no convictions come of this. If you're so overly confident then let's put your money where your big mouth is.
Under the most fair reading of the memorandum, the argument it makes is as follows: The Steele dossier—a collection of reports filed by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele—is a biased and flawed document produced by someone out to “get” the president; FBI and Justice Department officials knew of the bias and did not disclose it to the judges of the FISA court who approved the FISA warrant; as a result, the rights of an American citizen (Carter Page) were violated; and (more importantly, from the perspective of the Republican Party) the FBI’s reliance on the Steele dossier corrupted the FBI investigation of the Trump campaign—all of which is, in effect, the “fruit of a poisonous tree” that should no longer be credited.
Consider, first, the obvious timing problem. The Nunes memo begins with a FISA application dated October 21, 2016. That date is significant for a number of reasons. As an initial matter, coming less than 20 days before the election, it seems a particularly poor way of trying to influence the outcome of the election. A FISA application just a few days before November 9 would not actually have produced any evidence until well after the election—making Nunes' implicit charge of a corrupted investigation chronologically implausible. In addition, the focus on this date has to deal with the uncomfortable fact that the surveillance of Page it authorized started roughly a month after Page officially left the Trump campaign—so, again, it is a poor way of effectuating a bias against Trump to collect evidence relating to the actions of a former campaign volunteer.
But that timeline weakens the Nunes case for bias rather than strengthening it. Between the original application and the Rosenstein renewal, the Page surveillance was renewed two other times, for a total of four approvals altogether (and public reports say that there were four separate judges who did the reviewing—suggesting that four independent reviews validated the FBI’s investigation). But these renewals mean that it is utterly implausible (if not borderline impossible) for the renewal that Rosenstein approved to be reliant on the Steele memorandum.
Given that the investigation began from a different source, it is almost certain that the motivations behind the Steele dossier were irrelevant to the FISA court—judges routinely grant warrants based upon information provided by sources who have an ax to grind. The question is whether or not the information is corroborated. (As one wag put it, it only matters that someone told the FBI Page was talking to the Russians—it could have been Stormy Daniels for all they cared, so long as they could corroborate the information.) Here, we will not know unless and until the full FISA application is unsealed, but it is notable that the Nunes memo nowhere says that the Steele dossier was the exclusive basis for the FISA application and acknowledges the existence of other information. So, there are reasons to think that Steele’s alleged bias played no significant role in the FISA process. All of which doesn’t mean that everything in the Steele dossier is true. But his alleged bias doesn’t necessarily ruin the credibility of his research.
“...White House National Security Council senior director for Asian affairs Matthew Pottinger was reported as saying in a recent closed-door meeting with US experts on Korean Peninsula issues that a limited strike on the North “might help in the midterm elections.”
According to Cha’s Washington Post piece, some ultra-hardliners have argued that the risk of endangering the lives of the 230,000 Americans living in South Korea if the bloody nose strategy escalates is worth taking in terms of “long-term interests” and the “safety of Americans living in the continental US.” The fates of 50 million South Koreans don’t even warrant a mention.

To me that 4 page memo said absolutely nothing that we didn't already know..and was missing key details that would have shed light on many things.

When no charges come from this memo will Nate and SD20 finally admit that they're guillable partisan hacks?
Just look at the **** posting that these guys have been spamming the board with.

I could be tempted to explain this further but I need more proof that this"open mind" exists.
Here let's start with the entire intelligence Community, along with the entire FBI, along with nearly every single Democrat did not want this released and the reasons for doing so or extremely over-the-top. Just that kind of visceral reaction should open up your eyes raise your eyebrows I'm prop up your ears.
These people are all too intelligent to step on any landmines and admit to breaking laws. But lets just look at Brit hume' s response to Comey tweet.
And while we're looking at Brit hume's response let's look at Zonkers post above. "nothing Burger but he hates the Patriot Act. "
That little thing in the back of your head somewhere in your spinal cord that alarm that says something is not right here, that should be going off. And if it's not then there is nothing I can ever say or do to convince you that something disturbingly wrong occurred with rdlj FBI in 2016 and 2017. And still exist today in the form of a special prosecutor.
