Also, one last thing about the GoT meme. It's so pathetically transparent. Like if Obama tweeted a GoT meme after he was "vindicated" by a special counsel report (which he wouldn't, because that would be stupid and insane), it would at least be, I dunno, genuine? Because we know Obama watched GoT. Trump hasn't seen a goddamn second of GoT. It's just the most popular show in the world so he (his people) uses and mis-uses dumb memes from a tv show that no one on Earth believes he has ever seen. It's just all so lame and pathetic.

Remember when a whole bunch of idiots kramered into this thread a couple weeks ago about how the Mueller Report was nothing and nothing was going to come from it?

Remember when they mocked pointing to the NY investigations as the new Mueller Report, right before the Trump Foundation was dissolved due "a dazzling web of criminal behavior"?

Now, remember last week when they said Mnunchin would never hand over the tax returns? I wonder if it's a pattern...

The Trump administration has such lousy political instincts it can't get our both-sides media to bite on this.

The American media is so eager to show how non-partisan it is, and yet everything I have seen so far is people going "what the gently caress?"

This take 10000000%. NPR, specifically Steve (totally NOT a Republican) Inskeep were both-sidesing the gently caress out of this leading up to the conference. Then afterwords were basically like "what the gently caress was that?"

I shudder what hell reality we would be in if the Trump administration had even a degree of competency

yeah. you've got him up there arguing the president didn't obstruct because he sincerely believed his own innocence. you can be totally innocent of an underlying crime and still obstruct.

Yeah. That can’t be overstated enough. Brian Williams once quoted Leonard Cohen lyrics in rapt reverence when Trump bombed the poo poo out of an empty parking lot in Syria, so that’s how eager he is to stan for Team Trump, so if this is his takeaway then... poo poo’s bad for Roy Cohn 2.0.

Nnnnnnnnnnope. What Clinton did wasn't a crime by any relevant part of US law. The only one that seems applicable was decided to require intent by the Supreme Court in the 30s.

"Having a bad IT policy" (that there is no evidence even caused a problem) is not a crime, and it shouldn't be.

Not re-litigate this, but if Clinton got busted for her shoddy handling of confidential materials then everyone with any kind of executive position in Washington would have to be locked up as well. The political figures (not the bureaucrats) are terrible about information security and regularly flaunt it because they decide they're too important to follow those rules. So, no Clinton shouldn't have received anything more than the censure that she received from the context of events, but you are correct that the peons would have been fired at the very least for doing the same thing that she (and the Trumps, and most members of congress) did.

Steve Inskeep is real spicy on twitter tho. The NPT Koch handlers keep them on tight leashes.
