    No JonK22...... I am linking to the very document drafted by the Deputy Attorney General of the United States Rod Rosenstein who was responsible for detailing the scope of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation....
    committed a crime or crimes by colluding with Russian government officials .... I never claimed anything about any federal code.... The very man writing the memo obviously thinks there is such a code.... take it up with him..... HE STARTED THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION WITH COLLUSION WHETHER THERE IS A CODE OR NOT.
    The Rosenstein Scope Memo says there is

    So nothing in U.S. federal code, Got it

    THIS GUY?

    Rod Rosenstein's letter recommending Comey be fired

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39866767


    Rod Rosenstein Pulls a Comey

    ...Yet this is the process that Deputy Attorney General (DAG) Rod Rosenstein effectively bypassed in a conclusory and rushed-out memorandum for the Attorney General—a memorandum that, as Benjamin Wittes and Susan Hennessey have noted, reads like an op-ed and that, as Bob Bauer observes, raises more questions than it answers. Instead of a sober, carefully substantiated, and authoritative assessment of the FBI Director’s conduct, we are presented with a string of quotations, plucked out of context and clipped together for rhetorical effect.

    • Collusion is not a legal term, but the term could be used to describe certain interactions between a presidential campaign and a foreign government that are illegal under existing statutes.

    Collusion is not a federal crime so why would there be a U.S. federal code...

    Yea this guy...... so now you paint him as a bad guy... wow..... the left does think that you can have it both ways... the silly word game you want to play...

    It is funny you want to change the language now after that has been used by every Tom, Dick, and Hairy in the last 6 years...

    The Rosenstein Scope Memo says there is "committed a crime or crimes by colluding with Russian government officials" Read em' and weep...

    Here Graham is questioning him about COLLUSION.....

    So you agree it's not a federal crime then, after pointint to this Klown who wrote the memo on collusion, you expect me to take him seriously?


    G.O.P.-Led Senate Panel Details Ties Between 2016 Trump Campaign and Russia
    A nearly 1,000-page report confirmed the special counsel’s findings at a moment when President Trump’s allies have sought to undermine that inquiry.
    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/18/us/politics/senate-intelligence-russian-interference-report.html

    NO PAYWALL
    https://archive.ph/wy4RF


    The question turns almost entirely on what one means by the term “collusion”—a word without any precise meaning in the context of campaign engagement with foreign actors interfering with an election.

    So rather than engaging over whether the Intelligence Committee found collusion, we decided to read the document with a focus on identifying precisely what the committee found about the engagement over a long period of time between Trump and his campaign and Russian government or intelligence actors and their cut-outs.

    Whether one describes this activity as collusion or not, there’s a lot of it: The report describes hundreds of actions by Trump, his campaign, and his associates in the run-up to the 2016 election that involve some degree of participation by Trump or his associates in Russian activity. In this post—which we are generating serially as we read through the document—we attempt to summarize, precisely and comprehensively, what the eight Republicans on the committee, along with their seven Democratic colleagues, report that the president, members of his campaign and his associates actually did.

    One overarching note: There is a fair amount of overlap between this document and the Mueller report. But the Senate report covers a fair bit more ground for a few reasons. For one thing, it was not limited to information it could prove beyond a reasonable doubt in court, as Mueller was. Just as important, the committee included counterintelligence questions in its investigative remit—whereas Mueller limited himself to a review of criminal activity.

    please tell me you are not going to play the childish game of defining collusion.

    Your meme addressed two very different but consistent motives of the FBI...Wait a minute, I'll make it clearer...The first investigation of Hillary by the FBI was to help exonerate Hillary and the second investigation by the FBI of the Trump campaign was to help defeat Trump.

    I mean, it's an outright lie when the FBI says their intention isn't to sway elections.:roll: .

    James Crapper Runs From His 2020 Election Interference, Jonathan Turley

    [​IMG]

    'James Crapper is back, and he’s really angry at Politico for reporting on his 2020 election interference.'

    'Crapper, the former CIA director who played an intimate role in hatching the Russian collusion hoax targeting Donald Trump, recently told The Washington Post that the letter he signed dismissing Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation was not meant to dismiss the laptop as Russian disinformation.'

    'Of course, that is the very profile of disinformation that was used by Twitter and other companies to censor others...'

    Even Balloon Joe cited this disinformation to dodge the question during a presidential debate.

    '...Notably, I do not recall Clapper rushing forward before the election to correct the widespread use of the letter to dismiss the laptop as Russian disinformation. It was only after the Russian disinformation claims were debunked after the election that he appears distraught…' https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1625212807045079040

    Neither does anyone else.

    'the idea that the letter was ambiguous is false. There was a very specific citation of “our view” (i.e. the signatories) being that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Further, it pointedly denounced Russian interference in US elections despite there being no evidence that was the case.'

    'Crapper obviously knew how that letter would be used, otherwise, there would have been no reason to even release it. It was meant to provide an air of authority to a false conspiracy theory about Russia in order to abscond from the Biden family’s degenerate and corrupt behavior. In other words, it was meant to interfere in the election on behalf of the Democrat Party, and it succeeded.'

    Our next opportunity to elect a legitimate president will be in 2024. Biden stole the presidency in a coup orchestrated by the Lying Fake News, the DNC, the devious Intelligence Community and the Corrupt Dirtbags of the FBI.

    I've always been a fan of Jon Turley, a distinguished gentleman.

    A little piece of 911 Trivia is that as Station Chief in Saudi Arabia back then, Brennan signed off on the visas granted to the 911 'hijackers'.

    Allegation: a statement that someone has done something wrong or illegal that has not been proven to be true.

    Why is Solomon “reporting” something he knows not to be true?

    Durham had his day in court with these allegations, could not prove them, and Danchenko was acquitted on all counts.

    What’s the story? Durham’s allegations were specious has already been written. So what is Solomon’s motivation in repeating the specious allegations?

    We did learn from Vietnam; no, we don't "run" wars from Washington but, Washington does involve us in wars we shouldn't be fighting. War is too profitable for politicians to keep their fingers out of it. How to deal with that, effectively, is the lesson we are still groping for an answer to.

    We had a good and recent (Russia) example that we should never have set one foot into Afghanistan. And there is good evidence that failed, ignorant foreign policy is what got us into Iraq.

    Good point. However, with fear of minimizing your point, I recall following the OJ trial very closely and in my learned opinion the prosecutions' "mountain of evidence" did not come anywhere near a guilty verdict.

    ~ I believe the prosecutors were horrendous — as was the LAPD botched handling of evidence and the entire investigation.
    OJ got lucky ...

    I don't want to rehash that old saw but the evidence, in my mind, strongly pointed to someone other than OJ killing Nicole.

    Something you might not have considered in your analysis is that the jury in that case was compromised.

    Humanity has been at this since the inception of time. I read alot of Aristophanes aka 400bc playwright who wrote satire regarding Politics and everything he says reflects exactly what goes on in modern times. Fact is, mankind is infallible and corrupt. Just about every person always thinks their way of thinking is right and everyone else is wrong.
