  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

That's true of both sides though
Is it? I think most people on the left found the claims of weaponization lacking in evidence. Certainly I found the idea that they went though the process to only go after one guy risable. No one grabs power like that and then uses it in such a limited fashion.

They went after the one they most feared could beat them and they were right

Turnabout is fair play.
Except it isn't turnabout if the previous DOJ was executing legitimate powers in serving the rule of law, and then Trump ... isn't.

Well since it's being described a reciprocal revenge, that makes it turnabout.

And?

Trump promised he would retaliate as candidate. He's fulfilling his promise.
If it's reciprocal retaliation, that means the DOJ was weaponized against him. Therefore it can't reasonably be denied that the Biden administration weaponized the DOJ against Trump.

That is only his warped perception. He views any accountability for his crimes as "weaponization".

The DOJ was not "weaponized" against Trump.

He was simply being held accountable for his actions. I realize personal accountablity is an anathema to today's Republican party.

And the Epstein files is the vital component that will drive that home. I mean I'm earing an awful lot of clamoring and constantly seeing someone posting "THIS IS JUST A DESTRACTION FROM EPSTEIN!" in various threads, so I thought maybe there might be something more to it than that.
You would rather look the other way and give him a pass ? again?

I'd be somewhat surprised if it turned out to be anything. And a little more surprised if it actually lead to annoying of consequence.

Then that means it's not eye for an eye revenge and just a DOJ investigation into possible wrongdoing.

The Biden administration weaponizing the DOJ against Trump is the perception of millions of people.
