I would say that it is you who is trying to spin the wasted money on the Mueller investigation because you want to say the Durham Report was wasted money, but you can't unless you pretend it was free.dajo9 said:Actually, no, Mueller getting convictions and asset forfeitures to the Federal government is truly paying for itself. You are engaging in a lot of spin there.Goldener Bar said:
The Reason article above had a great bit on the stupidity of this entire charadeQuote:
Ultimately, the Durham report represents one more entry in a sad, symbiotically conspiratorial, paranoid juncture in American politics. Democrats spent years convincing themselves of an elaborate Trump-Russia conspiracy and, when given the opportunity, used the levers of government to try and prove it even when the evidence wasn't there. Republicans rightfully repudiated this.
But they didn't stop there, instead concocting a broad-based and elaborate conspiracy involving the Clinton campaign, Robert Mueller, and the "Deep State." And given the opportunity to use government power to try and prove this equally nonsensical conspiracy, they took it. On both sides, there was bad behavior and sketchy dealings, to be sure. Both the Mueller and Durham investigations revealed that. But nothing uncovered the elaborate fantasies of evil and massive corruption that either side concocted.
I don't know what actions you're complaining about, but knowing that every Russia collusion conspiracy theorist believes in the same narrative, I doubt there's anything original there. When you can produce a pee tape, find evidence of actual illicit activity between the Trump campaign and Alfa Bank, explain "Russian bots" that were actually Americans, explain why the Investigator General confirmed everything in the Nunes memo, explain why Dianne Feinstein and Adam Schiff relied on a since debunked Russian bot detection program called Hamilton 68 to spread lies about Russian interference, explain the lack of proof that Russia actually hacked the DNC e-mail server, explain the so-called hacked Vermont utility company, and explain why the media insisted the Steele dossier was funded by the Republicans when it was actually funded by the Clinton campaign, explain how Konstatin Kolimnik is affilated with the Russian government when he is actually a U.S. information source, and justify the lie about Russian bounties in Afghanistan, then maybe I will deign to care about $250,000 worth of Russian social media ads and 140 so-called contacts with Russian nationals and whatever else you think supports this failed narrative.Quote:
As are the light-on-facts, opinion articles you post. I posted specific Trump/Russia actions that concern me. You ignored them.
Until that time when you can answer for even 25% of the above, I'm really just not all that interested in your light-on-facts narrative and your concerns.
