Th Report vs The Tapes

[Lesh]

I'm struck by the similarities. I'm referring to the Nixon Watergate tapes that brought down Nixon.

The fight over those tapes looks to be very similar to how the Trump Admin is treating the Mueller report.

When the existence of the taping system and the tapes themselves became known a real food fight bgan between Congress, the courts, and the Nixon Administration. The first defense by the Nixon Admin was that they were covered by the ubiquitous "Executive Privilege". The courts struck that down...ruling that the public had a right to know if there were illegal activities taking place in the White House .

The next defense attempt was to release "selected tapes". Obviously with the goal of controlling the message and appearing to be transparent while actually hiding anything deemed damaging. That failed in the Courts.

The next attempt was pretty ridiculous but was presented as serious. The White House offered to let Dem Senator Stennis listen to the tapes and issue a report. That sounds kind of reasonable until you realize that Stennis was effectively deaf. LOL. Yea. That didn't fly either.

Ultimately and rather quickly the Court forced the turnover of the tapes. They really didn't have a "smoking gun" as people talk about it. They alluded to a lot of stuff in cryptic terms but more than anything they showed the President's character..his anti-semitism, his racism, and his paranoia

We don't KNOW what is in the Mueller report but we DO know that this White House is resisting it's release in very similar ways to how the Nixon White House resisted releasing those tapes.

The Report needs to be released...in its entirety...and NOW

Bullshit. Trump said release it. You just want to continue a narrative of suspicion.

If your name was involved with a grand jury and you weren't guilty of anything you wouldn't want that information released so let the legal process proceed and quit making a fool of yourself on a message board.

Trump said release it.

He said he'd release his taxes too. How'd that go?

No one gives a shit about Trump's taxes. They give a shit about their own.

The moronic Russian Delusion has now clobbered the Democrats and they just can't let go because they invested everything they had in it. The more you rail about it the more damage you do to your party of misfits and idiotic Socialists.

Now all Trump has to do is point at the back of the room and say Fake News and it isn't just mocking them, everyone knows it's the truth now. You brought it on yourself. Enjoy.

"Trump said release it. " POTUS is on pace to hit 22 lies a day. Sure thing he is going to have the whole report released.

That's not the issue is it...

You said that Trump has said the Report should be released. When you look at the fact that he ALSO said he'd release his taxes and hasn't...that looks kind of weak doesn't it.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Nixon was all about an actual crime. Trump is all about finding something that could be called a crime.

 

[Lesh]

A crime is a crime. If there are no crimes..the Report actually WILL exonerate him.

Barr has already said it doesn't.

That's important

Trump says release the report. Democrats say Trump said he opposes the release of the report.

Trump says release the report. Democrats say "see. We told you he is fighting the report."

The public says "No no. I just heard him. He said release the report." Democrats say "Lie. Trump said he would never let the report see the light of day. "

No. You are parseing words and grasping at straws. There is no exoneration necessary because there is no underlying crime.

Hey, I don't give a shit whether you take my advise. The lunatic left is destroying itself over this witch hunt now and as much as I'm enjoying it one has to feel sorry for the idiots committing political suicide. When you go all in, in Texas Hold'em, and lose, you're out of the game.

The DOJ doesn't want it released. If the report names names how this hoax got started and the principals involved it might be worse than if it were kept hidden.

 

[Lesh]

Exactly. Does anyone doubt that Donnie has done nefarious shit? Is there a billionaire alive today who hasn't? It is likely he has done something illegal. I doubt there is a politician or billionaire alive who hasn't.

Kinda tells you where Trumpers are on this

That makes NO fucking sense whatsoever.

The DOJ is protecting WHO?

 

[blackhawk]

Trump has said repeatedly he is fine with the report being released Barr has said he will release everything that he legally can release you loons pretending like you don’t know that is getting beyond pathetic.

Can you ban somebody for being stupid?

I mean, mouth-breathing, shouldn't be allowed-to-reproduce stupid?

This bitch comes in here and pukes shit onto this board that has nothing to do with reality, that is straight from DailyKooks through the DNC and dummieunderground, with no, zero chance of it garnering a conversation other than to make fun of its stupidity.

Most boards would call that trolling.

This person is 100% a troll.

Or stupid.

More likely both

And then we have Mitch, blocking anything that wont fit his agenda, you may be happy with his choice today, but what happens when he blocks what you want.
