If Hillary were a criminal, why wouldn't Republicans want to prosecute her?

Sadly they are cowards.

Democrats are criminally leaking to the press, abusing power.

I swear, if Trump shot a person dead and it was televised live, you would care more about the video source than the fact that the President is a murderer.

Republicans hold the White House, both houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court. They hold the power. All of it. But apparently they are too incompetent to use it intelligently or effectively.

Riddle me this, Kidicious: If this incident did happen, there were no Democrats in the room. Someone in the administration had to talk first. Or perhaps the Russians. So how can the Dems be the source of the leak?

More importantly, if the US President is sharing classified intelligence with the Russians, inside the Oval Office, why is that not your focus? Yet you do not seem even slightly interested or concerned.



I can only conclude that you are not a patriot.

I Know One of the Sources
by Erick Erickson
May 16, 2017, 09:49am

I tend to take these stories about the President with a grain of salt. We have seen key details of a number of salacious stories retracted within 48 hours. The media hates the President so much that they’ll run a negative story about him without very much provocation. Anti-Trump sources embedded within the administration in the career civil service, etc. will leak to the press and confirmation bias sets in.

What sets this story apart for me, at least, is that I know one of the sources. And the source is solidly supportive of President Trump, or at least has been and was during Campaign 2016. But the President will not take any internal criticism, no matter how politely it is given. He does not want advice, cannot be corrected, and is too insecure to see any constructive feedback as anything other than an attack.

So some of the sources are left with no other option but to go to the media, leak the story, and hope that the intense blowback gives the President a swift kick in the butt. Perhaps then he will recognize he screwed up. The President cares vastly more about what the press says than what his advisers say. That is a real problem and one his advisers are having to recognize and use, even if it causes messy stories to get outside the White House perimeter.

I am told that what the President did is actually far worse than what is being reported. The President does not seem to realize or appreciate that his bragging can undermine relationships with our allies and with human intelligence sources. He also does not seem to appreciate that his loose lips can get valuable assets in the field killed.

You can call these sources disloyal, traitors, or whatever you want. But please ask yourself a question — if the President, through inexperience and ignorance, is jeopardizing our national security and will not take advice or corrective action, what other means are available to get the President to listen and recognize the error of his ways?

This is a real problem and I treat this story very seriously because I know just how credible, competent, and serious — as well as seriously pro-Trump, at least one of the sources is.

So, Canadian media, CBC, noted that an American president can declassify whatever they want. As long as the president is sane this isn't a problem.
Trump can not be guilty of giving away 'secrets'. I'm 100% sure he doesn't realize this, beyond a 'I can do anything' attitude of a petulant child.
Israel was the source of the intelligence Trump gave the Russians, and it wasn't intended for Moscow.
Trump is very dangerous to Americans. I suspect some of America's closest allies may start to hold back intelligence.

That theory is suspect for a number of reasons. The biggest reason is that it contradicts the supposed leaks from the WH that the Chief of Staff is controlling who the president talks to and the information he gets. If he doesn't care what people think then why does he care what the press thinks.

Actually it's ridiculous to assume that Trump doesn't listen to his people. His policy on Israel is an example. He promised during the campaign to support moving the capital of Israel to Jerusalem, and now it's up for negotiations for peace. Bull****. People I know are worried that he is too influenced by people, not not influenced enough.

I swear, if Trump shot a person dead and it was televised live, you would care more about the video source than the fact that the President is a murderer.

There is no hard evidence. To accept this as fact you would have to be a lunatic, for all the reasons that I've already stated.

Republicans hold the White House, both houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court. They hold the power. All of it. But apparently they are too incompetent to use it intelligently or effectively.

They are spying on everyone!

[Kidlicious]

OK so the DNC staffer, Seth Rich, that was murdered was in contact with wikileaks. Very suspicious. It's very possible that the whole Russia thing is a cover up.

[Kidlicious]

Oh and I think I'll report Erik Erickson to the FBI, because he claims to know the person guilty of a felony and causing a humongous **** storm.

[Uncle Sparky]

Everybody knows Trump... so why pick on Erickson. TASS, a Trump approved news source, has confirmed Trump informing his allies...

The people reporting this "new evidence surfacing" from an "investigative source" in the killing of a man almost a year ago are: Fox, Breitbart, Washington Times, Infowars, and the like.
The people denying the claims in this conveniently timed report are everyone in a position to know: the DC police, the FBI, and the family.

Not surprising which side of the story you seem ready to believe without question.

Oh by all means, please do. Pro tip: Report him as "Erick" for accuracy.

Oh, but I thought the FBI was already spying on everybody, and can probably read the Interwebs, so wouldn't they already know?

Aha! So the leaker must be Reince Priebus!!

Another damn genius liberal.
