You mean the 'news' Right Wing outlets like Brightbart are using to fit their agenda, but is upsetting to the family of the murder victim? Yes, that is interesting, but given your post history it's confusing why you would like to bring it up. Oh wait, no it's not confusing at all.

Why would the family be upset? They hired a private investigator to find out why they cannot get answers.  I have not read all the details yet....and not sure how accurate some of the new news is....but it looks suspicious.

No one has clean hands in this debacle. And the Democrats do not have the high ground when it comes to integrity as they were prepared to put Clinton in the highest office in the land. 

 

We The People whoever they are are quite prepared to say they won the popular vote but seem blind when it suits to other peoples dealings.

 

Enough with the anonymous sources and repeated biased news articles, come out of the swamp and show your evidence and put an end to it. If it's all true what's in the news then it's an embarrassment on the American people, but if it is all hysteria in the news then that is equally embarrassing to the American people. The US does not need Trump to make a laughing stock of the country the media is quite capable of doing that on it's own.

 

The US needs one of these so called anonymous sources to come forward and put an end to it all, if not then shut up and let the government do it's job. 

It's a matter of American law, pure and simple. By We The People I meant the American people, who employ and pays the wages of all the politicians in DC, including Trump. That is who we are, and it has nothing to do with the popular vote. It's a matter of jurisprudence, and constitutionality.

 

The charges stand on their own. If Trump actually asked Comey to put a stop on the investigation over Flynn, that is obstruction of justice, especially considering that he asked both the VP and AG to leave the room for this one-on-one with Comey.  

 

Clinton can't change that, anymore than any other politician in government. This has nothing to do with Clinton, and it's not a matter of high ground. You're  again. :-)

Tucker Carlson going after the Clinton Founation...was never concerned about trump university or the trump foundation

 

Tucker Carlson is just an entertainer. If Faux is going after the Clinton Foundation, it means they realize the situation at the WH is really bad.

Former GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, responding to multiple reports that President Trump asked former FBI director James Comey to halt the bureau’s investigation into Michael Flynn, said Tuesday evening that Trump’s various scandals had reached a “Watergate size and scale.

“I think we’ve seen this movie before. I think it appears at a point where it’s of Watergate size and scale… the shoes continue to drop, and every couple days there’s a new aspect,” McCain told Bob Schieffer, the legendary former host of CBS’ Face the Nation, at a dinner where McCain was receiving the International Republican Institute’s Freedom Award.

apparently doesn't want an independent prosecutor ..an independent commission?

 

The MOR and MDR will attempt to destroy McCain's character. We all know what the so-called president thinks about McCain:

 

“He’s not a war hero,” Trump said. Sarcastically, Trump quipped, “He’s a war hero because he was captured.” Then, he added, “I like people that weren’t captured.”

Seth rich either gave the emails to Wikileaks or he didn't. There is no hard evidence made public either way.  Allegedly a random murder....that gets investigated by the FBI.  

 

I think this actual murder may start to get the eyes on it that it deserves.

My response was to show the hypocrisy of some of the comments, repeated posts calling for Trump's head even before he took office but yet ignoring the politician they favour. The post the other day with video of that idiot from GQ bleating on about a coup and all the usual Trump haters avoided it because it showed how wacky the left can be.

 

Clinton can't change anything but it would go along way to repairing the damage that was done since the last campaign if it was cleaned from both sides. It's not off topic to call for the whole system to be cleaned but most around here want Trump's head no matter what and from what I've seen they would happily vote for Clinton again.. ..hypocrites.

I have to disagree with you on this one. This is really about Trump and what he is doing to the credibility of this country and to the very office he occupies. He works for the American people - republicans, democrats, independents, etc - so anyone among We The People can and should ask for his head if and when he acts in a manner unbecoming of his office.

 

In this particular case, he may have committed obstruction of justice, which is a crime, and in this case, again, the American people is entirely entitled to seeing that these allegations are fully vetted.

It's suspicious all right, and yes very upsetting to the family that such a bogus conspiracy theory would surface just in time to try and distract from the Russian election story, the firing of its lead investigator who by the by, was asked to stop another investigation, and of course Dear Leaders' loose lips during his meeting with the Russians. If your loved one was murdered would you be thrilled with someone concocting a wild conspiracy theory and floating it as news? I guess if helps Dear Leader you might, but most folks wouldn't.

Yes, we wouldn't want anything to distract us from the whole Russian narrative.  And if you think Comey was the lead investigator, then I have a bridge to sell you.  Besides, would you really want Comeyas the lead investigator?  What I mean is he came out last July and laid out exactly how Hillary had broken the law with respect to handling classified information, but decided all by himself there was nothing there.  What makes you think if he was still there the response to this whole farce would be any different?
