I do recall that there was no impeachment attempt that year or the next year or the next.
Seriously? I neither said nor implied that. I've stated quite clearly over and over and over again that foreign interference in an American election is unlawful while American participation is lawful. What is difficult in understanding "foreign" vs "American" in regards to American elections? Dirty tricks [by Americans against American opponents] are a time honored tradition here.
Sure, erasing the audit trail in a thread is always so helpful!
Non sequitur. Private citizens aren't covered by the Hatch Act.
Uh-huh.
Well okay! What fact fact did "the government" pay this company to do for them? I wasn't questioning that some signers work for the letter's author but that they were doing private contract work for "the government" that would have precluded their signing a letter of opinion that the whole laptop from hell October Surprise had looked like Russian disinformation:
Did Fusion GPS do contract work for the US government?
Yeah, Biden should never have torn down Peaches, put up welcome mats at the crossings and directed border guards to just wave in all foreigners. 
Mega dittoes. Our conservative friends are always ready to round up the usual suspects. Soros, of course. But they mustn't forget Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Council on Foreign Relations, PBS, Steven Spielberg, Barbra Streisand, Oprah, and Bob Iger's Disney Organization. And I'm sure Hillary Clinton has her dirty hands in there somewhere..

I'd say that it is quite a stretch to think that Trump's DOJ was looking to impeach him. Ditto the Republican-led House, ditto the Republican-led Senate. Nor do I think it likely that the Obama administration was looking to impeach him before he was elected.
I don't believe you are sincere in your arguments or your professed confusion.
Oh, it had a genuine point: changing your old post would be way less than helpful. Did you really think otherwise?
No, your answer was the non sequitur and that is why. That's right. Do you know what the Hatch Act is?
Know what?
Yeah, that's the wink, wink nudge, nudge. You didn't mention any actual fact fact.
That is a totally different point from "Uh....as in "the government pays this company to do something for them".
Yeah, you implied it (wink wink nudge nudge): "Uh....as in "the government pays this company to do something for them".
You are not the Great Informer you take yourself to be.
I meant what I said not what you want me to have meant.
Strawman.
Trump's campaign was not spied on - the FISA warrant was on Carter Page after he left the campaign.
Disseminating opposition research to the FBI, yeah. Hacking the DNC email, giving them to Wikileak, and co-ordinating the leaks with the campaign managers? Foreign interference.
Who were?

Describes what we are talking about
Former or no - they were using their titles and positions to bolster misinformation that was beneficial to Boden
That you have to take up with the author
They used their titles and influence to make a false statement that altered a national election.
You mean like a typical campaign commercial? Even if they did somehow influence the election (which is unlikely), it's perfectly fine for them to do that. I mean, if they were making false statements (and there seems to be no sign of that), that's unethical, but again, that's like the typical campaign commercial.
*FORMER* titles. Any group of people with fancy histories in government can group together to support a candidate or challenge the claims of a candidate. It's a free country.
Good for him. And he's been doing a good job of it too.
There is nothing objectively false about what was stated in the letter. So far, the only thing that has been confirmed about the story is that at least some of the emails are genuine, which the letter makes zero claims about (in fact, it states "We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails, provided to the New York Post by President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement -- just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case"). The emails being real or fake has no bearing on whether or not this was an attempt by the Russian government to influence the election, which this did (and still does) look like to people with knowledge of such things.
So?
I hear tell that former President Trump has used his title and influence to make false statements to influence a national election. FEC don't care about any of this, even if Jim Jordan expires angry about it.
