    Started off by quoting your delusion, you mean ... The DOJ has amended it's review of Nunes memo ... "reckless" being stricken from it's agency assessment. NO factual inaccuracies, no classified intel ... See, directlt to the threads topic. tRUmp, RUssia, Putin ... AND Nunes is the distraction. So is Mueller going to prosecute Jill Stein too? I remember one of your RUssian fantasies allege she's a Putin puppet also ... :roflol:

    Laughable. I'll give you two examples, just off the top of my head, where Trump is less transparent than Obama
    - tax returns
    - White House visitor logs
    Obama released both. Trump releases neither.

    FBI should answer to DoJ and the AG.
    President after president - until this one - has been careful to ensure that the FBI is independent of the WH and not subject to political interference. Trump is trying to change that.

    The FBI’s activities are closely and regularly scrutinized by a variety of entities. Congress—through several oversight committees in the Senate and House—reviews the FBI’s budget appropriations, programs, and selected investigations. The results of FBI investigations are often reviewed by the judicial system during court proceedings. Within the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI is responsible to the attorney general, and it reports its findings to U.S. Attorneys across the country. The FBI’s intelligence activities are overseen by the Director of National Intelligence.

    Don't see the House Intelligence Committee listed specifically... there ya go.... plenty of oversight.... Devin Nunes' committee can go rotate in its current state of disarray..

    All kidding aside, the quoted and in bold is a work salad. I can't help with this, carry on. Jill Stein, oh boy......no further debate needed from me.

    In case you missed it, showing tax returns is a a tradition, not law.

    The same DNI that the Obama administration astonishingly claimed had no oversight rights by the IG.

    I'm aware of that. A tradition that Obama respected and Trump did not.
    You said Obama's was the most opaque presidency ever. I just gave two examples, off the top of my head, showing that your statement was false. A lie. "Fake news".
    Be a man and own up to the fact that you were wrong.

    Showing transcripts is what? A tradition? I'm not aware that any president has ever disclosed their transcripts. Including Trump.
    Go on, give us a concrete example of how Trump has been more transparent than Obama.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...2ea8f0-05c7-11e8-8777-2a059f168dd2_story.html Stonewalling is what gets you "vacationed". If you're afraid of Russians stay away from FB & Twitter ... the only one's left will be the ones residing in your head.

    Shall I post a screenshot of your Jill Stein RUssia puppet rant? It'll take a few minutes to locate, but I've got time. Then we can talk "cred" ... OK?

    The Attorney General, Congress (both judiciary committees) and the Public in summary.

    Is the Stein pic thread topic related? If so go for it. You have damaged your own "cred" not I. I am not surprised that one would play the blameless victim card however. Carry on.

    Stein is related to your RUssian delusions nothing ... more. 60+ congressman calling for the release ... All puppets? All risking their reputations, and congressional seats ahead of mid-terms? I'm sorry ... your "cred" is what's in question, not Nunes. The FBI found NO inaccuracies in the memo. Putin may have as well written it ... won't make any difference to the OIG prosecutors.

    So you again stray off the thread topic from the first sentence, that's real desperation to confuse. Carry on then :).

    You keep coming back for more. So who are the RUssian OIG puppets responsible for McCabe being ousted? Or is Wray working for the Kremlin? If you're going to tilt at windmills ... go FULL tilt. Please, don't be bashful.

    McCabe was forced out to create the smear to cover up the obstruction of justice that McCabe can testify to. Try to stay focused on reality.
