But that was for your own good. You got to keep your doctor. You got to keep your plan. Your premiume were cut in half and everyone is now insured.

But that was Obama, so obviously those were not lies but good intentions ruined by obstreperous, obstructionist Republicans/ Conservatives/ Bitter Clingers

Moral equivalency = "My guy did something bad, but the last guy did something bad too.... so it's ok because it evens out."

If the precedent has been set...

Moral equivalency = "My guy did something bad, but the last guy did something bad too.... so it's ok because it evens out."

More like:

Hypocrisy = "You (generically, not personally) want to call my guy on behavior that you never said a peep about when your guy did it" See, your guy came first (2008 - 16). My guy just got there. Chicken and egg

Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence in Year Prior to Election

Lot of re-hashed info, and of course Manafort's name comes up. The article kinda negated the headline, saying officials have found no evidence of collusion

Probably nothing to hurt the administration unless some evidence of money changing hands in return for DNC emails coming to light... and that's a big stretch.

That **** is 10,000 times worse and not even in the same realm of reality so let's not stretch beyond any semblance of reason please.

In other words... Oh ****ing Please!

Believe it or not, that's clarification is appreciated.

Well, yes. Sure. But your guy still deserves to be called out then, right?

Media helped force out Flynn, but leakers' real target is Donald Trump | Fox News

Trump, GOP lawmakers eye 'illegal' leaks in wake of Flynn resignation | Fox News

If my guy is called out by those who refused to call out their guy, is it wrong to point out the Hypocrisy? Many seem to think so.

I'm slow on the uptake. Are we in favor of telephone intercepts now or are they still the most horrific violation of privacy of all time?

Interesting tidbit

Michael McFaul, who served as U.S. ambassador to Russia during the Obama administration, said that he was in Moscow meeting with officials in the weeks leading up to Obama’s 2008 election win.

Still the latter for me

With two posts, I doubt he knows what that means.

 

[HoughMade]

Personally, I'm appalled at any attempts to cozy up to Russia. Hillary would have put them in their place.

Could be I'm mistaken, but the news trend has turned to focus on the leakers over the leaks themselves? How do we investigate the (traitor) investigators?
