The American Politics Thread

That's a silly joke

^ Interesting, though Shepard Smith is among the most 'fair & balanced', even liberal, of Fox hosts so it doesn't surprise me he covered this.   Giuliani has to watch what he says but a slip of the tongue is not evidence of a crime.   We need a lot more than misspeak to get to the bottom of this.

^ Seems entirely consistent with the kind of shady doublespeaking lawyer Giuliani is, and again, not prosecutable evidence of anything.

Well.....I think it's pretty obvious (no matter where you stand politically) that people within the Trump orbit and possibly even the man himself wanted to get dirt on Hilliary and were approached by the Russians and did indeed meet with them. What was actually discussed and done is the crux of the matter and whether or not they can show that the man himself was involved. And that's not even mentioning the other unethical and possibly illegal junk as Cohen and others have pointed out (business dealings etc he's done before and after the election). I don't think any intelligent and honest individual (Trump fan or not) thinks this guy and his people didn't pull some fast ones in multiple areas.

Wow--  could this really come down to a hotel in Moscow and lying about it?   How sad that would be, and somehow disappointing.

"... by the time all this plays out.. to have destroyed the right and the Republican Party as a national force.. "

I think we can count ourselves lucky if they're the only things he leaves destroyed in his wake.

Who Reagan? He seems to be one of the more popular presidents of "recent" times. I can actually think of two who are worse(well, at least imo) and those would be George H Bush and Richard Nixon and of course the current "president" but that goes without saying.  Reagan is pretty over rated though.
