      Okay, so what evidence is there that Trump committed a crime? And I mean real evidence that would stand up in court and not your speculation about motives and intent that you mistake for evidence.

        So do you, but not to your own facts. You have this tendency to insert your opinions into the facts and try to present them as all fact, when they are not.

          Correct, there is no such thing as 'my own facts' or 'alternate facts'. (remembering that this particular Trumpian disinformational mantra originated with Kellyanne Conway during the inauguration crowd size fiasco). There are THE facts. and there is fiction, delusion, disinformation etc.

          I stick to THE actual facts Pix. You can feel free to stick with the conspiracy sites and roll with Trump's fake news mantras so as to isolate yourself from the actual facts - I can't control that -but it carries with it significant cost to you and ultimately to the nation.

            There is, however, the propensity we have, because of our own biases, to select WHICH facts we embrace - and I think a lot of that happens here.
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              Given the 1000+ signatures from former prosecutors referencing the evidence presented in the Mueller report, you could start there.

                No you don’t Jim. You take the facts and insert your own opinion into them and try to pass off the entire thing as ‘just the facts’ when it isn’t. You’re just too blinded by your 24/7 ‘get Trump’ mentality to notice. In a way, you’re acting very much like JM or Jorge does in natural science. Difference is political science isn’t as hard science as physics and biology, so it’s easier to get away with it and be none the wiser.

                  I agree that is a lot of what happens here. And without declaring myself somehow immune(which I know I am not), I can say with absolute certainty that the extent to which it happens when attempting to defend or support Donald Trump exceeds all others by an order of magnitude (at least).

                    That is your opinion - and until you offer objective evidence that show it to be more than just your opinion - that is ALL it is.

                    Again pix, you can't just rant if you want to make an actual point. You need evidence that is factual and which logically supports your opinion.

                      Who cares? Some of these guys left government work when my parents where in grade school. They are not involved in the case and their opinions mean no more than yours or mine. It’s simply a cheap and dishonest way to raise ones opinion to meaning more than it does.

                        I have pointed out your biasness time and time again, only to watch you make excuse after excuse for it. Look right here where you try to pass off some signatures as some sort of big deal, when none of these people are involved in the case. Rod Rosenstein signed off, with Barr, on his letter to Congress and agreeded with Barr. Those are the opinions that matter, not the opinions of people that are not on the case and have no more access than you or I. The fact congress didn’t try to impeach him, based on the Miller report, says a lot too. Those are the facts and your opinion is noted and dismissed. Stop trying to win a nearly 3 year ago election.

                          Of course the opinion of former federal prosecutors on the legal veracity of a set of evidence carries far more weight than mine or most people in the USA. They didn't obtain those offices because they had a math or comp-sci degree and worked in industry. They got there because they had mastered their capabilities and understanding in the field of Law. And while a few such people might be game for placing their reputations on the line for a cheap stunt, most would not be. And unless you at a bare minimum have a law degree and have practiced law, what you just said above would be a clear indication you don't know enough to know how unqualified you are to make such a statement.

                            You have railed against me with irrational diatribes more times than I can count. But the number of times you've actually presented evidence is so small by comparison I can only count 3 or 4 from memory.

                            "The fact Congress didn't try to impeach him" ... and what exactly are they doing now? The question of impeachment has been out there quite some time now, and was in fact suggested by Mueller in the report itself.

                            Impeachment - given the rift in our country right now - is an truly extraordinary step not to be taken lightly. Nixon resigned rather than put the country through it. And we have had nutcases on this very site suggest civil war might be a possible outcome. So you should not place a great deal of weight on how long it has taken to get to this point when trying to claim Trump has not committed impeachable offences. He has committed many. But to actually impeach him and remove him is no trivial matter.

                              Are they involved in the case? No, so yes Jim, there opinion means very little because they are not privy to the inside details that those actively working the case are. It’s like quoting the opinion of a scientist that hasn’t worked in his field, for 30 years. The opinions that matter are those who actively worked the case. Muller couldn’t list a single crime Trump committed. That’s a fact. Barr and Rosenstein signed off and agreed with the opinion of not enough evidence. That is a fact. Congress is not perusing impeachment for the contents found inside the Muller Report. That’s a fact. The media has gone silent on the contents of the Muller report. That is a fact. When both friends and enemies of Trump are doing the same thing, that’s worth something. I don’t care what the opinion is of a DA that last served as a DA 40+ years ago. Reality: there is no crime within the pages of the Muller report. Face it and stop hiding from the same reality you accuse your opponents of doing.

                                I have presented plenty Jim, you’re just too full of yourself to ever admit you’re wrong. It’s rather simple, are those involved with the Muller report trying to impeach? Yes or no?
