  • 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.

Then articles of impeachment should be real easy for the House.
The House, yes, but not the Senate. We keep saying this - why don't you hear it?

That’s a cop out on her part. Should she not go forward with what she thinks is the right thing to do? The GOP House impeached President Clinton knowing the Senate bar was high. As it should be.
As the leader of the House Democrats, she does not think a suicide move is the right thing to do. Also, it is premature as there are still investigations ongoing.

More investigation? The Mueller report was not thorough enough?
The Mueller investigation was limited to Russian interference with the 2016 election. Donald's possible corruption is much wider in scope.

It might be more meaningful to this conversation if you told us where you get your news.

If you don't mind my asking ...
Why would it be "more" meaningful?

I believe Pelosi, Nadler and Schiff would like to examine if there are financial ties between Russia and Trump. Mueller didn't really delve deeply into that as far as I know.
Did money go through a whirlpool or something?

I get my news from mostly three sources, the newspaper and MSNBC, CNN. But I myself wasn't asking because it means anything as per this conversation. I study semantics.

Because that individual asked the question. It fosters open, honest discussion. Call it quid pro quo.
I can see it being "as meaningful", but not "more". I see that one person answered the question, while surprise! the other one hasn't.

The question wasn't addressed to me. Let's give time for both posters to respond. Sound fair?

Yet I keep hearing here that further investigation is necessary.
Yes, the Mueller investigation was limited to Russian interference with the 2016 election and anything directly related.
So we need to keep looking for something.
Donald lied during the campaign when he baldly stated that he was not currently involved with Russia, even though he was actively seeking a real estate deal there at that time. Donald has not disclosed his tax returns while also not putting his business in a blind trust. Donald is leasing a property from the US government even though no government official is supposed to while foreign officials (as well as US lobbyists) stay at his property, seeking to do business with the government. Donald hosts official events at his properties which means he is profiteering. Donald has done business with Deutsche Bank, a bank known for money laundering, after American banks refused to do business with him (after six - count 'em, six! bankruptcies).

How much time does it take? The one who was originally asked has made a couple of posts in this thread since the question was asked...

Then the report was futile. If they were only investigating Russian hackers and trolls then the investigation could have been concluded in 6 months or fewer.

And Sessions would not have to recuse himself. So from the start the Mueller investigation was about Trump. It was a political investigation from the start.

Sessions also wouldn't have had to recuse himself had he not lied under oath about his contacts with Russia.

No. As the OP, to help facilitate good discussion, I suggested that offering a quid pro quo might elicit the desired information. I have no idea whether it will or not ... but it often does. Open honesty does that.

People operate on different schedules.

Considering that it took the poster four hours to respond to my Quid Pro Quo suggestion, I'd say you have a few more hours to wait ... if you're at all concerned about fairness. Even more time would be better. One almost never knows another's schedule.

I don't think it's ethical to investigate in service to an insinuation. But it's also not ethical to allow another country to swing an election so as to determine our country's foreign policy.

Even with the DNC and HRC campaign bought Trump dossier from the Russians, the election turned out as expected. Hillary was not a very good candidate for POTUS. I think even President Obama realized this.

Again, that is the only evidence we do have of a political party 'colluding' with foreign entities to sway the election...the Trump dossier.

The contacts he had with the Russian ambassador?

Is the Russian Ambassador (Kislyak) part of the Russian government? Did Sessions meet with Kislyak twice in the timeframe he was asked about? Did Sessions give an unequivocal "No" in his response to having contacts with "any member of the Russian government"?
