Mueller Investigation pt4

[BobTheCoward]

How can we know anything? What if what you see as blue, I see as green? Or if all of this is a figment of my imagination? Or if I'm the figment of someone else's imagination?

I'm not asserting I do know anything. I'm asking about your assertion.

I'm not asserting I do know anything. I'm asking about your assertion.

How can you ask him about his assertion if you don't know he made an assertion?

 

[novaphile]

How do you know he doesn't know?

 

[BobTheCoward]

How can you ask him about his assertion if you don't know he made an assertion?

I don't feel knowing it is an assertion is a requirement for asking.

 

[fagin]

I have no opinion on that.

 

[Norman Alexander]

Because he’s got the emergency-powers arrow squirrel in his quivver back pocket, all set to let it fly loose* on that day?

*Thank goodness, poor thing.

There are already enough squirrels loose in his head. So what's one more!

I don't feel knowing it is an assertion is a requirement for asking.

But how do you know that you don't feel that?

Wow, just learned in the Failing New York Times that the corrupt former leaders of the FBI, almost all fired or forced to leave the agency for some very bad reasons, opened up an investigation on me, for no reason & with no proof, after I fired Lyin’ James Comey, a total sleaze!...

...Funny thing about James Comey. Everybody wanted him fired, Republican and Democrat alike. After the rigged & botched Crooked Hillary investigatAmerica. He was a Crooked Cop...

.....who is being totally protected by his best friend, Bob Mueller, & the 13 Angry Democrats - leaking machines who have NO interest in going after the Real Collusion (and much more) by Crooked Hillary Clinton, her Campaign, and the Democratic National Committee. Just Watch!

Comey and the FBI hid the existence of the investigation into the Trump campaign from the American public prior to the election.

Mueller was named special counsel by a Trump appointee.

Anyone who believes Trump’s conspiracy theories is a moron.

 

[BobTheCoward]

But how do you know that you don't feel that?

Not a clue

[Tsukasa Buddha]

President Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with Russian President Vladi*mir Putin, including on at least one occasion taking possession of the notes of his own interpreter and instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired with other administration officials, current and former U.S. officials said.

Trump did so after a meeting with Putin in 2017 in Hamburg that was also attended by then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. U.S. officials learned of Trump’s actions when a White House adviser and a senior State Department official sought information from the interpreter beyond a readout shared by Tillerson.

The constraints that Trump imposed are part of a broader pattern by the president of shielding his communications with Putin from public scrutiny and preventing even high-ranking officials in his own administration from fully knowing what he has told one of the United States’ main adversaries.

As a result, U.S. officials said there is no detailed record, even in classified files, of Trump’s face-to-face interactions with the Russian leader at five locations over the past two years. Such a gap would be unusual in any presidency, let alone one that Russia sought to install through what U.S. intelligence agencies have described as an unprecedented campaign of election interference.

Linky.

Totally innocent.

Whut?

Whut?

Obviously, you have never previously encountered an example of "bobbing a thread"!

 

[Trebuchet]

Obviously, you have never previously encountered an example of "bobbing a thread"!

Which, unfortunately, is more a result of others responding than of Bob himself.

Lyin’ James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter S and his lover, agent Lisa Page, & more, all disgraced and/or fired and caught in the act. These are just some of the losers that tried to do a number on your President. Part of the Witch Hunt. Remember the “insurance policy?” This is it!

Lisa Page was a lawyer, not an agent, IIRC.

And apparently Trump still hasn't figured out how to spell "Strzok".

 

[quadraginta]

This is more like an example of "Bobbing a Bob".

 

[abaddon]

This is more like an example of "Bobbing a Bob".

What? Recursive "bobbing"?

Tell me it ain't so.

Back to topic, it seems to me that Trump supporters are simple sheep. As Trump ramps up his rhetoric, so they in turn ramp up their apologia.

Surely at some point the disconnect must become untenable.

Let's not blame the fish for the fisherman's hook.
