Sorry to be upsetting your view of the world, it is hard to admit when you have been bamboozled. That is how con artists keep getting more and more from their victims This quote is from CNN .

"Hillary Clinton personally approved her campaign's plans in fall 2016 to share information with a reporter about an uncorroborated alleged server backchannel between Donald Trump and a top Russian bank, her former campaign manager testified Friday in federal court.

Robby Mook said he attended a meeting with other senior campaign officials where they learned about strange cyberactivity that suggested a relationship between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, which is based in Moscow. The group decided to share the information with a reporter, and Mook subsequently ran that decision by Clinton herself.
"We discussed it with Hillary," Mook said, later adding that "she agreed with the decision."

Wondering if Republicans here plan to condemn any candidate making false claims about opponents. Or suggesting false claims to news agencies. Since they do that every campaign.

Quote: AZDuffman

You say that like the Democrats are little innocents. Democrats invented false claims.

No, I'm amused at conservative commentators jumping up and down with outrage about the discovery of something they're going to do themselves

You Lefties can spin all you want, but the voting public is figuring out all you do is lie about the facts on the ground:

1) Russia Russia Russia & the Steele Dossier was fabricated by Clinton & Sussman is going to get convicted for lying about it.
2) Adam Schiff, your lead Democrat on Intelligence Committee, never had "the goods" on Trump's Russian connection despite being on CNN a million times saying he had the goods via his involvement in the Committee.
3) Hunter Biden's laptop is real and does implicate Biden in the e-mails calling for "setting aside 10% for 'The Big Guy'"
4) There are no Russian Pee Tapes, despite some gay man's claims. Makes sense he has a particular fetish towards this lie. Projection anyone?

The Leftist Dems and CNN/MSNBC trafficked in all of these lies to the American People during the last 4 years and they got caught.

Just like the fat black bitch, Stacey Abrahams, is now getting caught on how voter ID in Georgia would suppress the vote.
Turns out more early voting in GA since the "Jim Crow"/Voter ID laws were put in place. Talk about an inconvenient truth!
Now she is out there stuck with the sound clip that GA is a $hithole state in which to live.
That should play well in November as Kemp signs a $5.5B factory deal for GA with Hyundai.

Spin all you want, November is coming and the Leftist Democratic House of Cards is in full melt down mode.
All the Democratic strategist know what is coming. Carville is going to start roasting his party for their idiocy.
The party is a joke and has the race card & killing babies as their only playable hand. It's a bold strategy for sure.
LMAO

Quote:

Clinton: 2 officials indicted. Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy was charged (and acquitted) over allegations that he accepted improper gifts from businesses and lobbyists. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry Cisneros was convicted (and pardoned) of making false statements to law enforcement about hush money payments to his former mistress.

Obama: None.

Carter: None.

Paul Manafort (48/25 counts): Former Trump campaign chairman, former lobbyist for Ukrainian officials; crimes alleged not connected to his work for Trump. Convicted of tax and bank fraud. Oct. 30, 2017 indictment (with Gates): Counts 1-6; 10-12: 9. Feb. 13, 2018 indictment: 18. Feb. 22, 2018 superseding indictment (with Gates): Counts 1-5; 10-14; 24-32: 19. Sept. 14, 2018, superseding criminal information: 2.

Rick Gates (23 counts): Top deputy to Manafort, former lobbyist for Ukrainian officials; crimes alleged not connected to his work for Trump. Pleaded guilty to lying to investigators and financial fraud related to hiding money he earned lobbying for politicians in the Ukraine along with Manafort. Oct. 30, 2017 (with Manafort): Counts 1-2; 7-12: 8. Feb. 22, 2018 superseding indictment (with Manafort) Counts 6-10; 15-32.

Roger Stone (7 counts): Longtime adviser; Trump campaign official dispatched Stone to get information from WikiLeaks about the thousands of hacked Democratic emails in an effort to damage Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Convicted of obstructing a congressional inquiry, lying to investigators under oath and trying to block the testimony of a witness whose account would have exposed his lies.

Michael Cohen (1 count): Longtime Trump lawyer and adviser. Pleaded guilty to a series of criminal charges, including a campaign finance law violation that implicated the president but was unrelated to the Russia interference investigation.

George Papadopoulos (1 count): Campaign adviser on foreign policy to Trump. Pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his efforts to put the Trump campaign in contact with Moscow.

Michael Flynn (1 count): Campaign adviser to Trump and then briefly his national security adviser. Indicted Nov. 30, 2017. Pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his discussions with the Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition. Flynn and Kislyak had discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia for election meddling.

Because of the various indictments filed against Manafort, one could count a total of 48 charges against him. But ultimately he faced 25 charges: He went on trial for 18 charges (and was found guilty of eight of them) and then faced seven more charges (he pleaded guilty to two).

So, that’s a total of 58 or 81 charges against Trump associates



Nixon: 28 key indictments. There were 72 indictments charging 68 people (58 were convicted), all in the Watergate scandal or related investigations. But arguably only 28 of the 68 were part of, or closely tied to, Nixon’s administration. They included two of Nixon’s attorneys general, two White House counsels, two secretaries of treasury and a number of White House aides.

Reagan: 33 people indicted. 18 people indicted (16 convicted) in an investigation of fraud, corruption and influence-peddling within the Department of Housing and Urban Development; 14 people, including Caspar Weinberger and Oliver North, charged (11 convicted) in the Iran-contra scandal, an illicit arms deal with Iran orchestrated by members of the administration; and White House aide Lyn Nofziger was charged (his conviction was overturned) over corruption allegations surrounding Wedtech, a military contractor.

I'll check back in late May, two posts per month for me is one over quota.
Unlike the Leftist Island of Misfit Toys, I actually have a life outside of posting here 6X per day.
Besides, it gets old casting pearls to the swine.
Particularly the lying gay swine with male tit fetish, LMAO

Quote: RonC

Obama had a few scandals. Not many were charged; that probably does not reflect on anything but his DOJ.

Petraeus plead guilty to mishandling classified information.

The IRS, GSA, and a few other letters had incidents that resulted in resignations for cause but somehow no one was charged.

The AG was found to be in contempt of court.

Anyway, they did some stuff and mostly got away with it.

They weren’t completely crime and corruption free.

Yes, others had more issues and more charges. “None” is an incorrect answer for Obama.
