Over the weekend, the allegations returned to the fore, and for good reason. The New York Times reported on Saturday:
John F. Kelly, who served as former President Donald J. Trump’s second White House chief of staff, said in a sworn statement that Mr. Trump had discussed having the Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies investigate two F.B.I. officials involved in the investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia. Mr. Kelly said that his recollection of Mr. Trump’s comments to him was based on notes that he had taken at the time in 2018. Mr. Kelly provided copies of his notes to lawyers for one of the F.B.I. officials, who made the sworn statement public in a court filing.
You literally just said you waive away his corruption because the other guys are more corrupt. It is not in any way a straw man it is your stated position. Maybe stop treating this like a game rich people play.
Literally did not say that, nice try tho
You’re taking Democratic corruption seriously only after Republicans eliminate their corruption. You are a defender and champion of corruption, just as long as it’s people in your party.
The fact that you think that’s different from partisan corruption basically everywhere is laughable.
Are you a child? I try not to get into arguments with children.
I’m not referring to the corruption itself. I’m just not taking your words or your concern seriously. I don’t think you actually care about corruption. All you care about is making Democrats look bad.
I’ll take your words seriously after you start dealing with corruption in your own party.
Anyway, you probably understood all that, you’re just intentionally misconstruing my words in a poor attempt to make democrats look bad, because that’s all you people can ever do. It’s your whole party platform. That and oppressing minorities.
Oh fuck off
The persecution complex that both parties have inculcated is fucking ridiculous. I say, “fuck the GOP” I say reps are more corrupt than dems and you’re out here with the, “you only complain about democratic corruption bc you hate democrats.”
People like you on both sides of the aisle are why the rich are looting this country. Wake the fuck up you simple removed.
Straight up just calling me a Republican. The idea that people can just be principled and against partisan hackery and corruption is just to alien for your pea brain to fathom, huh?
Nice try, shill. We all got wise to your bullshit after 2016. “muh both sides” lol
Please go back to Reddit where you can exist with oblivious milquetoast lukewarm liberals like yourself.
I’ve been a committed leftist since I was a teenager but go off with your impeccable sixth sense of dipshit tomfuckery. Bet you like James Carville lmaoooo
Oh and I just wanted to point out that you’re so thoroughly propagandized to supporting your team’s corruption that you literally invented a person and twisted an argument to justify the fact that you approve of blatant systemic corruption.
Get bent, dickweed. Thanks for teaching me brain worms aren’t ideologically specific, I guess.
