    The Deltas muttered, jostled one another a little, and then were still. The threat had been effective. Deprivation of soma-appalling thought!

    "That's better," said the young man, and reopened his cash-box.

    [QUOTE=ApatheticNoMore;256489]or dropping the charges is bullcrap. As we have no way of knowing who is pulling whose strings (and on what tarmac), did the Obama administration and the Attorney General have a talk with Comey? We know those people are partisans. Was Comey trying to push the election toward Trump (look we know most of the powers that be want Hillary including the vast majority of the intelligence apparatus and including many Republicans, but Comey might well be wanting a Republican in office, we know he has R sympathies and has mostly worked for Rs). It's all so much parsing motive and hidden things we do not see, which seem unknowable to me.

    Trump should also be sited. It has been reported to the FBI that he has ties with Russia. No wonder he praises Putin!

    I love this NeoMcCarthyism that the progressives have come up with for this election cycle, it's just hilarious!

    All we know is: laws are for the little people. The powers that be get away with things the little people go to jail for.
    If there was anything new in those emails I doubt J Edgar Comey would have been willing to have his arm twisted to the point of throwing away his career the way he did this morning. He gave in to republican arm twisting and acted as a partisan hack a week ago and today he paid the price. I fully expect that sometime in January/early February he'll announce that he wants to "spend more time with his family"

    he got himself into a dammed if you do, damned if you don't position. it will be interesting to see what happens to Christie and Guilianni after all this. And the Maine governor with the voter suppression accusations.

    It was a situation entirely of his own making. The only reason to make the announcement he made two weeks ago was purely political, and it backfired in the most spectacular way.

    I disagree. He had promised to keep Congress informed of any changes in the investigation, and he did. The response to his notification was political, although there appears to be no damage done other than both sides of the political divide making him the scapegoat.

    If I were him, I'd be well and truly pissed that the Justice Department forced him into this mess through the discovery of the Attorney General's tête-à-tête with Bill on a secluded runway.

    I don't think Comey was politcally motivated at all. I also don't think that they could get through that many emails before the election, in such a short time-- 1 per second, they estimated, so I still don't know why that went down as it did. But it seems to me Comey obligated by law to do what he did by reopening. Do not have a clue why he released the statement he did on Sunday.

    I suspect the pressure on him to close the investigation prior to the election was mega intense, whether the investigation was completed or not.

    I am sick of special interests getting special treatment.

    I consider urban America to be a war zone and no one is doing anything about it.

    I hate the media for constantly attacking our law enforcement and undermining authority in the public square.

    I am sick that my kids are going to be worse off than I was at their age.

    I think we have gone in the wrong direction for so many years that the establishment needs a shock and drastic measures are called for.

    I am willing to create chaos so as to restore order and reclaim my place in this country.

    I am tired of checking my words before I speak them just because I may offend someone who needs to just get on with their lives.

    I am ready for real change and I'm not going to be like the poor and expect it or like the very rich and purchase it.......no I am going to demand it and make it so.

    I believe our condition calls for drastic measures and I am tired of sitting on the sidelines.

    I am angry that I have to work to let people come here and enjoy all the benefits,for free.

    So I am backing a man who isn't afraid to offend some and who will really put the people who caused this on notice.

    I am angry and my guy will make you feel uncomfortable.

    So what are you going to do about it?
    It's ok people.......The Wall Won't be All That Big.
