ThanksThe first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

1. As for Benghazi, there were a lot of needless deaths because of that not to mention an attempt to frame an innocent man.

Originally posted by demi-conservative View PostI wouldn't have dreamed that he was uncorrupt. Until all the fishing expeditions, 'Trump is going down this time, really!!!!!!!!!', leaks and show trials produced absolutely nothing. After all these efforts, they found zero dirt on him, making him exceptionally clean.
What all these impeachments/coup attempts have demonstrated is that Trump is amazingly clean, and have not in any way shown him guilty of crimes.

Originally posted by seanD View PostThe fact many house members are millionaires who do absolutely nothing but career politicking in and of itself is pretty evident of systemic corruption.
I agree with you that the Republican SCOTUS has drastically harmed the country over the years by repeatedly striking down laws limiting campaign funding, and that this has produced an epidemic of corruption in the system. But it has done so by legalizing corrupt behavior. People engaging in actual criminal conduct and going to prison for it, is a different thing.

To me this demonstrates there are plenty of bad faith right-wing groups out there who will make up fake scandals about anyone, no matter how innocent and new the person is.

Originally posted by seanD View PostI don't know why you just hand wave those issues off as "fake scandals." Omar's campaign scandal was a small one, understandably since she's just starting her journey down the political corruption road, but it wasn't fake. Accusations against AOC was more partisan orientated and a lot grayer which had to do more with ethics and hypocrisy. But I think it's more about elitism than it is a political party issue. It matters, as an political elitist, who you're connected to whether you're criminally untouchable or not.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by mikewhitney View PostJuvenal's article shows an accusation concerning Jared Kushner getting money from Qatar
As a tactical step, it seems the Dems are willing to have a court case against Ihlan in order to create a premise for another witch hunt concerning Trump.
So it is suspicious that Bender is testifying in a Florida case.
He only has a year-long presence on the internet -- with history and praise from a marketing person/owner on that bridal website.
He has only 'revealed' this rumor about Kushner in a Florida case.
The timing seems like it was geared, even a year ago, to impugn Trump and his Trump's staff.
This would add on to the wasteful useless actions by the Dems in the Mueller investigation, the Kavenaugh testimonies, and the pre-Impeachment hearings. Everything that we get from the Dems is vapor.
