No, no. The way the FISA courts function has been well ventilated since the recent flap surfaced. And that is sufficient to conclude that these courts are a danger to our system of government, quite apart from how any particular judge has ruled or what bureaucrat withheld critical information in order to get the ruling he was after.I know these are vague accusations. To claim knowledge of the top levels of our judicial system based on an outsiders view is ludicrous in the extreme..
It'd be interesting to see conservatives treat this event with at least a portion of the outrage they expressed toward the Dixie Chicks when they criticized the US government on foreign soil...I find standing on foreign soil and going against our intelligence and siding with his bud Putin goes against the country.
Thank you. It is related to the topic because it demonstrates a causative element. The relationship between the President and the intelligence has been caustic since day one.
While I didn’t like how he stated it and think it is a major error on the Presidents part, I can somewhat see the reasons behind it.
And that I feel is a part of the conversation on negative reporting that is not being spoken of.
You seriously think that the president of the United States, following a high-level meeting with the head of another nation, and who did not lambaste the United States in his remarks is comparable to the Dixie Chicks who went out of their way to attack the country itself? That's more than interesting; it's amazing.It'd be interesting to see conservatives treat this event with at least a portion of the outrage they expressed toward the Dixie Chicks when they criticized the US government on foreign soil.
How do you feel about the intelligence community saying they will stop a candidate from being elected?
Come on now, that wasn’t a statement from the “intelligence community,” but two members, two fish, among millions of fish in the vast ocean of the intelligence community.
Throw them under the bus, the two fish, no point in netting all the fish and draining the entire ocean for two fish.

An entertainer, who has zero political power/influence and no governmental authority whatsoever makes a relatively benign political/anti-war comment* on stage and the response was outrage vs. the President of the United States siding with an adversarial head of state over his own intelligence community and announcing it on foreign soil - and the same people defend it.. yeah I find it interesting.You seriously think that the president of the United States, following a high-level meeting with the head of another nation, and who did not lambaste the United States in his remarks is comparable to the Dixie Chicks who went out of their way to attack the country itself?

You've completely sidestepped what I said in the post you supposedly are responding to, you know.Even if the comparison is somewhat stretched it depends on how one chooses to define "lambaste". That he obviously sided with Russia is clear, and in doing so castigated his intelligence agencies, as he has done so all along. Whether ego or incompetence, or a combination, he is an embarrassment, a façade, and cowardly.

When given the choice of taking the word of US Intelligence or the word of the KGB on whether or not the KGB did something illegal, I think the party that does not stand accused of doing something illegal might be the more trustworthy one.
Taking the word of Putin/the KGB on this is the equivalent of believing your 3-year-old when he denies getting into the cookie jar with chocolate and crumbs smeared all over his face.
Liberals....??
Is it only liberals who have accepted the findings of all of your security, intelligence, military and congressional investigations, who have concluded that Russia, under the direction of Putin, attacked the US elections...??
Only liberals...?
Another Bush? He's way worse than Bush. At least Bush had a heart (although certainly not brightest bulb).Although they weren't the ones I had in mind when I wrote that post, neocons are liberals too. The greatest danger the country is facing is not the Democrats being voted back into power, but that Trump would become another Bush. This conference is reassurance that it is not about to happen.
There's so much circumstantial evidence it's ridiculous. We need to wait until Muellers investigation is complete before we come to any conclusion before declaring "no collusion" or no "anything....and what party would that be? The FBI most certainly does stand accused of doing precisely what the Russian government does - that's what last weeks congressional hearings were about. If we have people in US intelligence who are not above interfering in the US presidential election, then it stands to reason we would have people in US intelligence who are not above lying to the American people about Russia interference in the US presidential election.
That analogy implies actual evidence, which I am still waiting for. The allegations in Mueller's indictment are not evidence, despite the press's eagerness to treat them as though they were established fact.
