In this particular case I'm fine with withholding judgement until we get the paper trail and the IG testifying to Congress. It should be easy at that point to establish that an inquiry into Pompeo's misuse of government employees for his personal errands had just been opened. That should provide all the evidence *either* of us needs ;).

Each of these IG's were, in the eyes of the president, disloyal to him in their investigatory activities and so they were fired. It is not only their firing that the president is interested in but it is the message he is sending to anyone else who should dare speak truth to his power. Same with Dr. Bright who spoke against the presidents HYdroxycloroquine use. Comey who investigated Russia connections, Sessions, who refused to fire Mueller. McCabe, and on and on and on. It's systematic retaliation for disloyalty to the wannabe dictator. Open your eyes.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostPeople here who skate around this issue, who wont answer these obvious and age old questions surrounding corruption and the corrupting influence of power and the need to constrain it are themselves corrupt. This is why these arguments can go nowhere. Pix, mm, and others, they simply are corrupt themselves in terms of what they are willing to admit and what they support WRT Donakd Trump, and so they will do what corrupt people do. They will do everything they can to hide the truth and to avoid admitting Trump's corruption of this nations government through his abuse of power. Once you realize they themselves have been corrupted by this corrupt President, all the feigned ignorance and sidestepping banter falls into its rightful perspective as nothing more that the deceptive responses of a corrupt people trying to hide their own corruption.

The calls to prove Trump has done something wrong are the evidence of their corruption. We dont oversee people in power because they have done something wrong. We oversee people in power because power corrupts all men, and without oversight, all men will eventually abuse the power they have.Even more so men like Trump.
Their denial of this basic fact is how we can know they are corrupt.Last edited by oxmixmudd; 05-18-2020, 08:47 AM.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
