Oh, now you delete your posts. Fortunately I have a browser for adults where I can go back in history and see what the state of pixels was back then (Vivaldi Browser). FTR:

In a different environment, I'd just tell you to go **** yourself.

But I'll rise above that and simply reply "what unadulterated nonsense". Putin is a corrupt thug. He has imprisoned and assassinated many critics and political opponents. Responding to your deceptive apologies of that cretin and his government is a waste of time. Those are real people that he had killed. Those are real people he sent to gulags.

I care not a whit that you find my criticism to be unfair or unworthy.

Why should Radical Left Democrats in Congress have a right to retry and examine the $35,000,000 (two years in the making) No Collusion Mueller Report, when the crime committed was by Crooked Hillary, the DNC and Dirty Cops? Attorney General Barr will make the decision!

Because we paid for it? :D

My post was crude and for that I apologize. I'm embarrassed that I stooped to that level. Do what you will.

What the actual known facts are that the leaks allegedly from Mueller's team called the evidence of collusion "significant", and said that Barr's letter didn't accurately represent the content of the report...

I think we have all seen the collusion, starting with the Trump Tower meeting ("I love it"), the appeal to Russia to find "her missing emails" the same day the Justice Department says "Russian intelligence officers successfully hacked email accounts affiliated with Hillary Clinton's campaign," and the fact the day the pussy grabbing tape came out, within hours WikiLeaks was dumping DNC emails.
Beyond the Access Hollywood tape, two other events transpired online that day. The first was official acknowledgement by the U.S. intelligence community that Russia had targeted the 2016 election by hacking the emails of the Democratic National Committee and Clinton proxies — a story of momentous importance that would be immediately lost in the “locker room talk” news cycle. The second, coming just minutes after the Washington Post published its article with the Access Hollywood video embedded, was the fruits of the the aforementioned hack. This was the initial release of the “Podesta Emails,” laundered through the “transparency” organization Wikileaks. Rolling Stone link

Though the evidence gathered may not reach the level of criminal conspiracy, it demonstrates the Trump campaign, if not Trump himself, certainly had some idea about what was going on and they were required to report the activity -- it's considered espionage -- just the same as any American citizen would be. Instead they kept quiet aka colluded. ;)

I first want to preface the following with this caveat. In no way do I believe that Putin isn't a murderous thug.

Nevertheless I was wrong to put words in CE's mouth. For that I apologize and ask the forgiveness of the thread. That was wrong.

Did the right thing there. Proud of you. (rubs head)

The courts can order the FBI/special prosecutor's office to comply with the subpoena.

Yes they do -- the Capitol Police -- and either the Senate or House can send their Sergeant at Arms to arrest people for contempt of Congress.
 
The FBI describes defendant Aleksey Potemkin as a native born 36-year-old Russian male. He is an officer in the Russian Federation's Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff (GRU) and is currently believed to be in Moscow.

You're missing the point: what if they don't comply with the order?

See, that I didn't know. They could, what, arrest someone from the FBI, or the IRS? Mnuchin? Barr?

Do you have a source for that? The Wiki article is pretty short.

He's right. Although it is obviously problematic to even attempt to arrest POTUS. The Capitol has it's own jail. But can you imagine the Capitol police showing up at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with a warrant swore out by Nancy Pelosi for his arrest?

No, you're missing the point. What's to stop someone from obeying the court order and not obeying Barr or Trump?


At this point in time, Trump is a pseudo-dictator, not a real one.
