    Also, interesting that my friend pointed out that Trump always speaks in very short sentences. Lack of vocabulary?
    I think it’s intentional; designed to solidify his appeal to a lower-intellect base and seem more approachable.
    It is intentional; designed to solidify his base through comedy. None of you appreciate Trump as entertainment. His base thinks he is funny. I think he is funny. Entertainment wins.
    Sorry, I don't want the president to be an entertainer. The president should have a good sense of humor, but not use put downs and name calling to try and be funny or appeal to someone like you who doesn't seem to care about empathy, compassion or character.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Question for Supporters: If collusion is proven beyond a reasonable doubt, will you continue to stay inside the raging dumpster fire?
    I wouldn’t. 

    Question for haters: If the whole investigation stems from Obama department/Clinton campaign coordination to weaponize the DOJ and Intelligence agencies to go after a political opponent would you push for all the conspirators to be prosecuted according to the law?

    I agree with this

    The real die hards will say that any evidence is fabricated. They’re already down that road (see rolemodels post above). This attack on the trust required of our system will be one of trump’s legacies and one of Putin’s victories. 
    Yeah tRump's strategy is to paint the investigation as bias or fake so that when the report comes out he can say he's been calling it fake all along.

    He knows he's cooked.  My feeling is that the evidence will be so overwhelming that even the die hards will eventually turn.  Maybe not right away but I think it will happen.  Fox News won't deny direct evidence....neither will any GOP candidate running for re-election.
    This is a battle to the midterms. Those who participated in weaponizing the DOJ and Intelligence agencies to attack a political opponent are stalling until the house likely changes hands. They intially tried  to take down the President but it has failed. They now desperately need the republican leaders of the congressional investigatory committees to be removed when a democratic house comes into power. At this point the investigation into the corruption can be buried and impeachment can be attempted. The problem with this theory though is that Trump has the power to declassify everything. He knows all the cards on the table and has been telegraphing his knowledge. He is letting the investigation into the corruption proceed quitely through Sessions, Rosenstein, and Huber but should he be put up against the wall he can declassify and let everything he knows flow...

    Nope. I answered his question which I believe is “nonsense”. Time for you all to answer mine. At the end of the day these are the two arguments. Only one will prove to be true.

    Fair enough and I also agree. I wish this wasn’t the case but it is.

    You’re wrong. I do care. But I watched what you all did to W and Romney.

    Plus, how long can they stomp their feet? They’re getting Pence if trump’s gone, not Fidel Sanders-Chavez. 
    If Pence survives...might be likely that he won't.  No way he wasn't aware of some of this stuff.
    Of what stuff?

    Do you have any evidence for your "argument"?

    I will accept it if it happens.  I’ll be proven wrong, but that’s happened many times before.  I’ve fully believed that the whole investigation has been a show from the start because the insiders don’t want change, and I’ll fully accept that I was wrong if it ever happens.  It won’t mean that my “trust in the system” has changed though- I grew up in a family of lawyers and constitutional law professors, and they’re more distrusting than most, so I will continue to be cautious of the people in power, regardless of their political affiliation.
    That's fair. 

    I can't believe how tRump and his handlers keep pulling out the "there has been no evidence of collusion" line.  That is only meant to target the horribly ignorant supporters of his.  Until we see the report (or it is leaked) there is no way any of us will know what evidence there is of collusion.
    But we do know from Mueller’s court filing is that he won’t be presenting evidence of collusion in the Manafort trial. That says to me that there isn’t any.

    Pawn? Interesting. Pretty sure I’m thinking for myself. Open to all scenerios. Willing to consider Vagar99’s question and willing to respond.

    You on the other hand will not even consider the possibility that the Obama DOJ and Clinton campaign were not acting on the up and up. You won’t even consider the possibility that they tried to use government to attack a political opponent they saw/still see as a danger.

    Saying weaponize the DOJ is hyperbole. trump hired on compromised staff even after being told this by intelligence. The invesitgation is hapening because of trump’s actions, not because he was a political opponent. 

    ‘Let everything he knows flow’? Really? trump doesn’t want any facts to flow. He could release information related to the fisa warrant application. Do you wonder why he doesn’t, but instead drives the narrative of a corrupt investigation? He is acting exactly like guilty criminals act, but you’re interpreting that as taking some high road.

    It shouldn't.  Why would they present evidence of collusion when his indictment relates to different crimes?

    When they prosecute him for collusion they will present evidence of collusion.

    Nope. It is all 100% speculation. Any Trump supporter who argues what has been reported to date is “evidence” is lying. All circumstancial. That being said the likelihood of this theory being true has only grown with time. It looks like the dam is about to break. Be patient. Sessions/Rosenstein/Huber are quietly and methodically working their way through it.

    Will you consider the possibility that aliens orchestrated everything?

    Didn't Obama stop going public with the investigation into Trumps campaign? Why didn't he take that chance to attack superduper-good-guy-trump?

    When Eddie sings "mother should I trust the government" I wish for them to leave Pink Floyd alone and rock out som KISS.

    When Gene sings "I wanna put my log in your fireplace" - what do you shout?

    He hasn’t because a real investigation happens in secret. If there was corruption then the DOJ has to investigate and Trump cannot be involved. Sessions/Rosenstein/Huber are on it. Pay attention to Huber.
