Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were the two that expressed alarm or credulity at the possibility of Trump becoming president in their private communications with each other, like many millions of other Americans. "Lock them up"? Why not lock all the millions of them up? And of course fire any Judges that don't show proper support for the new president (or have Mexican ancestry) as they are biased.

You are quoting Amanda House (Breitbart) and Jack Probiec (Citizens For Trump) quoting others on Twitter.

"Lock them up" is the exact opposite of what I would
want. It just brings into question what they overlook
and what they focus on. I'm too in the dark to make that
call.

It's reasonable to ask if someone demonstrated inappropriate bias in their handling of a situation.

The problem is when it becomes a matter of completely refusing to accept that wasn't any indication that occurred, especially if you ham it up for political purposes.

"I'm calling for a new investigation."

"But three independent and thorough investigations, including one run by your own committee, have already concluded nothing improper occurred."

"We just need to get to the bottom of this. If they did nothing wrong, they shouldn't have a problem with that."

How about this tack:
They did nothing wrong and had no problem with the three independent investigations already completed. However, a fourth investigation appears to be a search for evidence in support a conclusion already reached. How much more bottom is there to get down to?

At this point several people have gone through the thousands of texts these two sent to one another and found nothing. Their performance on the job was not compromised, but they he was let go and she was already gone after the affair was made public. Be prepared for the GOP to seize on anything that can be stretched and manipulated into a narrative to support the witch hunt chant.

"I don't understand why you don't have a problem with a federal investigation possibly being run improperly by biased personnel and why you would want to deprive the American people of the answers they deserve."

"The American people do deserve answers. Are you telling me that the first three investigations were done improperly and therefore we need a fourth? The American people deserve for their politicians to get things done right the first time or at least within the three strike rule, don't they? Otherwise, we as politicians seem inept or willfully running the cost up or heaven forbid, looking for something that doesn't exist. Which is it?"

Dave, it is sad we know the song and dance so well. The lunacy is predictable. I did see the US has announced tarrifs against China, the NYSE is down triple digits and the US is pulling out of the UN Human Rights council. Just an average news day I suppose.

Looks like a judge has decided Paul Manafort will await trial in jail. That is kind of interesting.

Took long enough. I'm just wondering if the promised pardon power will start getting used again soon. :^(

Oh look, another undisclosed Russian oligarch banned from entering the U.S., and communicating with witnesses about their testimony, Russian tv is covering it, but that's okay, the big guy will pardon us all. Nothing to see here folks, completely exonerated, now let's investigate that crooked Hillary with the lust for power in her eyes yet again!

This issue has given new meaning to the word "heartless".

Trump's administration is trying very hard to convince Americans that it’s Congress, not the White House, that’s responsible for its own “zero tolerance” immigration policy that’s left separated thousands of children from their parents at the border.


Under past administrations, undocumented migrants typically underwent civil deportation procedures & often allowed to remain with their children, either through being released or held in family detention centers.

What's going on now is simply outrageous.

-C!
