about how that might be done. Have you figured out a way to do that? If so, please share it with us and pass it along to people political power.

I can't think of anything that would work, frankly.

The best we can do is try as hard as possible and in as many ways as possible to oppose Trump and the GOP.

The U.S. Attorney's office evaluates the evidence and determines whether a crime appears to have committed and whether to prosecute. That's where Comey went off the rails - it wasn't up to the FBI to reach any conclusion about whether Clinton's use of a private email server was a criminal act.

For precisely the reason so that it cannot be used as a political weapon.

Think about that for a second or two.

And the CIA has no power to declare anything treasonous. Nor does the President of the United States.

Read your US Constitution!

What if they were behind 9/11, Syria, bin Laden, everything that's happened in the last 20 years? What if they're the real bad guys of the world? It would be proven with the Trump Administration and Tillerson lifting the sanctions that have been put in place.

i have been thinking about the "orange revolution"
at the time i could see it smelled funny. high polish materials, in english. those flags. smelled so phony. i remember at the time trying to figure the cia angle. never though to look at the "kgb" angle. thought that was dead.
might add up a little better, eh?

how many fishy elections?

And they played Iraq, Syria, and the US for chumps and hid Osama in Afghanistan. I know it sounds like a conspiracy theory but it has more cloud than Pizzagate at this point.
