I have to ask this question; Which is the most damaging to our country and constitution, the Russians meddling in the presidential election or corruption at the highest levels of our FBI, DOJ, State Dept and DNI?

There is only one obvious answer any American would have to this question.

Rosenstein hastily appoints a Special Counsel to investigate Russian meddling with a broad scope, subpoena power, the power to indict and no budget.

Rosenstein offers to ask the Inspector General to investigate corruption at the highest levels of our government with no broad scope. No power to indict. No power to question anyone not currently employed and no unlimited budget.

Priorities.

Actually, that is completely inaccurate. The DOJ is a department within the executive branch, i.e. under President Trump. They do in fact work for him. They are not separate or equal. They are part of the executive branch and subordinate to the president.

Have any other Presidents ordered the DOJ to investigate the President or political enemies in the past? No. That is why Trump is overstepping his boundaries.

No, the guy before him just sent the IRS after his political enemies...

Of course you have absolutely NO proof of this allegation.

Despite the fact the IRS has already apologized for targeting after conservatives?

Federalist has a good take on it.

“I don’t know if there’s a big conspiracy by the deep state. But it’s pretty obvious to me that leaders of our institutions aren’t above engaging in spying. John Brennan spied on the legislative branch and lied about it to the American people. James Clapper spied on the American people through a domestic surveillance program and lied about it to Congress. Although the Obama administration never tweeted nasty attacks on journalists, it did spy on and prosecute them. It’s completely plausible that those in the upper echelon of law enforcement saw Trump as a threat, then used wobbly evidence as the pretext to investigate his campaign. If not, it’ll be good to clear their names.”

Spying seems to be the best job Hussein did as POTUS.

Quote:You believe Trump is corrupt. I get it. But surely anyone who alleges to be concerned about the sanctity of our institutions and rule of law would have some cursory curiosity about whether an investigation by the administration of one major party into the presidential campaign of another major party was grounded in direct evidence rather than fabulist rumor-mongering. Otherwise, any administration, including Trump’s, could initiate an investigation for whatever cooked-up superficial reason it wanted.

This is exactly what I've said from the get-go.

But apparently Trump Derangement Syndrome causes some form of brain rot that renders the sufferer unable to conduct logical thought processes and most certainly renders them unable to see the obvious future.

Scary affliction TDS.

I put that in the 2 spot.....

being completely incompetent is my #1 as the dippos lost more seats during his tenure than any that preceded him.....

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/12/...obama.html

Quote:The grand total: a net loss of 1,042 state and federal Democratic posts, including congressional and state legislative seats, governorships and the presidency.

The latter was perhaps the most profound example of Obama's popularity failing to translate to support for his allies.

that by itself is simply stunning.....

No wonder these idiot liberals are so deranged. Their Lord & Savior Barack, their Cankled Queen, the lying media, and the DNC stacked the deck against Trump and the inept bunch of fkheads STILL LOST!!!!!!

The DOJ is a part of the Executive Branch, which the President runs. Therefore, he can ask them to investigate whatever the F he wants them to investigate.

God, these liberal idiots need to take a simple civics class.

So it just happened to be conservative groups and Tea Party affiliations that were subject to "aggressive scrutiny". Couldn't POSSIBLY have had anything to do with the fact they are right wing.

Coincidence? I think not.

If you believe so, I have this bridge I'd like to sell you.....

Or if you like. If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.

Your comment asserted Obama directed or instigated this. You have no proof of this. None.

The allegation was that Obama did this, not the IRS.

IGNORANT.

What part of him claiming Obama directed this, of which no proof exists, do you guys not understand?

Here is the problem. We don't know who directed it. If Lerner did it on her own, she needs to be in prison. But if you indict her, she sings. So circle the wagons, name a scapegoat, cover her ass, and let it die. The bureaucrat way.
