Watching this Q&A with McGahn.
At 33:40 a student asks him how he think Trump would do if Mueller had interviewed him under oath.
McGahn's response: Trump has been in a number of depositions and he made it to become president.
What McGahn did not say: Trump would tell the truth.
Not even remotely true.Live in the real world...the only difference between this president and the last 3 is scripted dialog. The last 3 were 100% scripted this guy is 20% scripted, and its easy to tell when he is reading scripted material he does it so badly. He says what he is thinking not what his writers want you to hear and could care less what you think about it. I am sure you miss the daily pablum but frankly I don't. Don't be so bamboozled and don't expect a non-politician to act like a politician. You will feel better when the next president is elected in 2024, Ivanka.
A newly-uncovered document suggests that the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ), including the FBI, was “well aware” that foreign agent Christopher Steele was trying to interfere in the 2016 presidential election with disinformation — and yet still used his materials to spy on American citizens and the Trump campaign, according to Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC).
Not sure what you are getting at with all of this. My point has generally, as I tend to wander, is where is the line between questionable and illegal. And you pointed out the law says there is no line. If its questionable it's illegal. That doesnt seem like a good law, which is why I have pointed out that anybody investigated could be guilty of that. And that's scary to me.Your posts are usually thoughtful and I respect that.
The fifth amendment thing is totally wrong and that is the justification for broad obstruction statutes.
You can stay silent all day long but you can’t lie to the police, attempt to destroy evidence, or try to get the police fired. (Not legal advice, consult a lawyer).
It’s inconsistent imo that you’re seemingly not bothered by an executive branch employee falsifying White house records to mislead the public because it’s not technically illegal, or trying to exert undue influence over an investigation into his behavior because you didn’t think it was illegal, but this statute kills the America you want to live in.
Also the fact that you’re trying to turn this around on me, (maybe? I’m still not clear on that) when we’ve had discussions where I’ve advocated for a narrower criminal code.
Seems like rhetoric, to me.
Schiff... once again to a logical mind, his narrative makes no sense. Dems lost the election and took their ball and went to their glass house and started throwing rocks.
Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) proclaimed America could not survive another four years of Donald Trump as president.
Schiff said, “I don’t think this country could survive another four years with a president like this who gets up every day trying to find new and inventive ways to divide us.”
He added, “He doesn’t seem to understand that a fundamental aspect of his job is to try to make us a more perfect union, but that’s not at all where he’s coming from. He’s going to be defeated. He has to be defeated because I don’t know how much more our democratic institutions can take of this kind of attack on the rule of law.”

Now here's an idea that will get votes... once they begin to let everyone here illegally the right to vote.
Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” 2020 presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) said she supported giving health insurance to people in the country illegally.
When asked if she supported giving Medicare for all to people in this country illegally, Harris said, “I’m opposed to any policy that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety, public education or public health, period.”

According to Republican House characterizations, the FISA applications signed by Comey withheld key information raising questions about the dossier, including that it was financed by Clinton and the DNC and had known credibility issues.
was approached by an identified U.S. person who indicated to Source #1 [Steele] that a U.S.-based law firm had hired the identified U.S. person to conduct research regarding Candidate #1’s ties to Russia. (The identified U.S. person and Source #1 have a long-standing business relationship.) The identified U.S. person hired Source #1 to conduct this research. The identified U.S. person never advised Source #1 as to the motivation behind the research into candidate #1’s ties to Russia. The FBI speculates that the identified U.S. person was likely looking for information that could be used to discredit Candidate #1’s campaign.
We'll have to wait for the Horowitz report to know anything for sure.I see no document or first-hand sources in that link. Just an article that relies on the reader to jump from one conclusion to another with no basis to support it.
For instance, the title:
"James Comey Didn’t Know Whether Dossier Claims Were True – Yet Still Used Info in FISA Applications"
OK. Which info was used in the applications? All of it? Or parts the FBI verified?
Then there's this:
But according to the Democratic memo, the application noted that Steele:
Now if you're a seasoned Federal judge, and you read that someone paid a source to conduct research on a candidate's ties to Russia, is it really a great mystery what is going on? FISA applications by their nature try to minimize the number of named American parties. And that's what happened here. And the judge could figure it out.

I dont care if trump goes down. It just shouldn't be over some bs. This is an incredibly divisive subject which boils down to a process crime now that the Russian thing has blown over.
Imo its bs that we get a chicken or egg result under an incredibly broad law.
