It’s accepted that the IRS harrasment of conservative non profits didn’t come straight from the white house. But it happened under Obama’s watch. Waco happened under Clinton. 9/11 happened under Bush. Those are black marks on their records, not nefarious plots.
If the spooks surveiled Trump illegally it’s a black mark on Obama by association. They worked for and were appointed by him.
And here lies the problem. While Hillary Clinton was a horrible candidate, sometimes the phrase “anyone but” shouldn’t be taken literally - otherwise you end up with a President who allegedly has access to sensitive information but strangely bases his policies and actions only on information obtained from TV news shows and selected news portals.
Is this all supposed to somehow be supporting Trump and his accusations?
I have to admit missing where Levin is coming from.
It is pretty much “Public Knowledge” (which Levin seems to say a lot) that investigations were started looking into Russian involvement in our elections. It appears that one would be derelict in not looking at individuals whom not only had a vested interest in the outcome of the election…but also had ready access to high-level Russian officials…and in fact were in contact with them on numerous occasions.
Add to this the “one-sided” nature of the hacks and Wiki-Leaks releases…and again, I am just not sure of the argument that Levin is trying to make.
I am open to someone letting me know what I am missing.
I agree when I heard it he sounded like a nut, so I wanted to get other opinions from here. The hosts seemed to go along with everything he was saying and he sounded like a crazy person to me, while giving no evidence.
Whether I agreed or disagreed with her on a point…she often has given a topic careful thought and research.
Not so much with Trump.
I tend to hear more supported argument from her than the “…but what about him-her/what about Obama/anybody BUT…” arguments we are now getting from her.
Raj if the AG obtained a legal wiretap that looks bad on Trump or his associates not Obama or the AG.
“It means there were some basis to believe that somebody in Trump Tower may have been acting as an agent of the Russians, for whatever purpose, not necessarily the election, but for some purpose,” Mukasey said.
