Firstly thank you for admitting your hypocrite. You might want to be Petty and point out the spelling in that sentence. I asked what did hillary do that was unethical because Jim made that statement. You said screwing over Bernie to start, not that Bernie said it. So I will ask again what exactly did Hillary do that was unethical bc I really don't know what you guys are talking about. Are you talking about receiving a question because that's not her being unethical that's Donna brazile being unethical.

I will answer again. She accepted help that gave her an UNFAIR advantage.
Would you do the same PaulS, surely you were raised better than that.
When are you going to answer my question?

Putin’s goals are to get out from under 2 sets of sanctions: one based on messing with our 2016 election, one on invading Ukraine. Trump’s efforts to pressure Ukraine into settling with Russia & to “prove” Russia didn’t mess with us in 2016 make sense as ways to please Putin. QED

NEW: President Trump just told the White House press pool that he is actively "trying to find out" who the whistleblower is.

The President is violating the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989, 5 U.S.C. 2302(b)(8)-(9), Pub.L. 101-12.

What help? Being given a question ahead of time and that she would have been prepared for anyways? Didn't you just say that you had no problem with Rodger Ailes giving Trump questions ahead of time?. How is that not the same?

you don’t think that giving ( and receiving) a debate question ahead of time that’s not given to
the other candidate, isn’t helping the person who received the question.

Gotcha.

How about the use of superdelegates, where bernie could
win a state but fall behind in the delegate count?

it certainly is helpful to the person receiving the question but it is not unethical on Hillary's part someone comes up to her and said hey here's what they're going to ask you tomorrow. It's unethical for Donna brazile to do that. If Hillary approached brazile and asked for the questions that would be unethical but that clearly did not happen. But no one seems to have a problem that Trump was given questions by Rodger Ailes. And Hillary had no part in the super delegates so how is that her being unethical?

Gotcha- what a clown.

Realize some people would call it a "nothing burger" if Trump turned out to be a cannibalistic serial killer and was caught.

Since you didn't, or couldn't, answer the question, I'll do it for you. No, it was not illegal or inappropriate for Attorney General William Barr to have private meetings overseas with foreign intelligence officials, including in the U.K. and Italy, seeking their help in investigation of the current ongoing Russia investigation.

The U.S. has a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty with both Italy and the U.K. Asking for assistance in the Russia investigation if those countries have information that can be of help is not only legal and appropriate and even reasonable, but a dereliction if the assistance was not asked.

This is in no way comparable to Lorreta Lynch tarmac issue, nor at all like seeking smears, especially if not related to an ongoing criminal investigation, and it certainly was not an abuse of office.

So ironic that a supposed nationalist like Trump isn't trusting his own citizens but is actively seeking international assistance to support his failing presidency & re-election chances.

Flashback: May 1.

Harris: Has the president or anyone at the W.H. ever asked or suggested that you open an investigation of anyone?
Barr: Um.
...
Harris: Seems you'd remember something like that and be able to tell us.
Barr: Yeah, but I'm trying to grapple with the word suggest.

You keep doing this kind of chit. My post to which you responded here was:

Your reply here HAS ABSOLUTELY NO COHERENT CONNECTION TO MY POST. You do this a lot. Instead of responding to a post, you just go off on more of your obsessive conjectures about Trump bad, or Trump Putin's Puppet.

It's really not worth responding to you. You just use it as a platform to keep ranting and making unsubstantiated claims rather than maintaining a rational discussion.

This add on was not part of your original reply to my post. It is just as ignorant as that reply. He is not seeking international assistance because he doesn't trust his own citizens--HIS OWN CITIZEN, whom you mentioned as the one seeking assistance, is doing the investigation!!

Reminder: To this day, the Trump campaign can’t explain: 1) Why they had so many Russian contacts; 2) why they were glad to meet them; 3) why they never called the FBI; and 4) why they lied about it every time.

Their answer is to try to blame the FBI for ever asking about it.

ok paul, this is surreal.

i said the emails revealed that she acted unethically.

you then immediately asked me to specify what she did that was unethical.

but you weren’t referring to the emails in any way.

i gotta go, i’m due back on the planet earth.
