Jake, you lost that round, move on.

Adam Schiff is right. Trump is weaponizing or trying to weaponize law enforcement, i.e. the DOJ and FBI to go after his enemies. Schiff didn't say it, I will. That's fucking Stalinist.

1. K&R...

[riversedge]

2. I heard that segment and was suprised at how aggressive I thought Tapper was. But Schiff did

very well in getting ahead of Tapper.

[wishstar]

3. Schiff said he has seen no facts presented to justify reopening of Clinton investigations

While Tapper is not satisfied because Schiff can't provide proof that no new facts have arisen and acting like Schiff ought to be chasing down this rabbit hole to find out why Clinton investigations are being reopened, as if Schiff's logical conclusion of WH pressure isn't enough.


Reminds me of how media went on a wild goose chase wasting time questioning government officials for weeks over Trump's diversionary false claims of Obama wiretapping him, only to finally conclude there was no factual basis but merely Trump tweets spurred on by rightwing media.

4. Occam's Razor-parsimony of assumptions.

The likeliest explanation is true.

[Takket]

5. It is an impossible standard to prove facts don't exist

Example

"I think Hillary shot this man."

"She didn't she doesn't even own a gun"

"Prove she has never owned a gun"

"Well we searched her house and nothing is registered in her name"

"Maybe she stole one. Track down and account for ever lost and stolen Gun. Ever."

"Well... I couldn't possibly. That would take forever."

"Then she's guilty"

This is how I feel when I see someone demanding that it be proven that new evidence doesn't exist.

7. It's like the line "after a year there is no evidence of collusion". No....

...there probably is evidence of collusion, but Mueller hasn't released it YET. Is the right wing expecting Mueller to conduct a pod cast every night reviewing what he found each day?

Oh, there's evidence alright, and they all know it, which is why they're scared shitless and going on the attack.

9. What has already been made public

shows ample evidence of a conspiracy to commit various crimes. What Mueller is doing is trying to prove how criminal their intent was.

[George II]

10. Right. But since he hasn't been explicit, guys like Hannity claim there's "no evidence". Even...

...trump did so during his ass-licking session with that cabal of old white men (and one old white woman) who were plotting our future in secret at Camp David.

[Different Drummer]

12. "Is the right wing expecting Mueller to conduct a pod cast every night reviewing....

what he found each day?"


That's quite possible.

[NewJeffCT]

8. Obviously

she got the gun through a donation from the Clinton Foundation from her representative in Benghazi, who was hiding out there because he was Hillary's lover who killed Vince Foster when Foster discovered Hillary was smuggling child sex slaves through the basement of a pizza restaurant. Don't you get it?

[Ligyron]

11. I heard it was a leftover from AFT's "Fast and Furious".

Whatever tho', she is obviously guilty as usual.

[George II]

6. If you're talking about his interview of Schiff, I think he was still bristling over the useless....

....and pointless diatribe by Miller in the previous segment. That was ridiculous, Miller didn't let Tapper get a single question in without interrupting and spouting his script of talking points.

[FakeNoose]

13. Yes Miller just wrecked the whole show

Why did they even book him anyway? Asking for trouble with that guy.
