How difficult would it be to obtain emails from Trump-supporting FBI agents threatening Hillary ?

Would a $10,000 cash prize bring any of them out of the woodwork?

With all the talk about the "lovers" talking bad about Donald Trump, one might think there were no Trump supporters in the FBI that said anything negative about Hillary Clinton?

Did any of them threaten her life?

What kind of nicknames did they call her?

Or was the entire FBI against Donald Trump? I rather doubt that.

He really needs to be called out on this nonsense. Another of his destructive lies.

But what about "what aboutism"?

Trump supporters are now in their "what about" defense.

No matter how serious the charges, they respond with "What about Obama", or "What about Hillary?"

If you mention the children being locked up on the border, and some dying in America's custody, they say "What about Obama and the 'Fast and Furious'?

If you mention the education plan of Democratic candidates to pay off student debt, they say, "We don't need a college education....how about a new car?"

If you mention the murder of Khasoggi by the Saudi assassins, they say, "What about Hillary and Benghazi?"

The "what aboutism" is all about covering for Donald Trump, no matter what charges might come up.

Yeah, what about all those babies dying with abortions?

These people make it impossible to compromise on anything. You have two choices. Fight or surrender.

Just to prove there was "no collusion", Trump colludes with Putin.

For anyone that had any doubts, he kicked out all the American media and only permitted Russian media in the meeting. How much more proof do you need?

Then, when they make their public appearance, they both degrade the news media as "fake news". With a wink and a nod, they agree there will be no Russian "meddling" in the next election.

Every American should rest comfortably knowing that Donald Trump has their back. Not!

He is selling all of America down the river, whether or not his supporters think he is a strong patriot who loves America. He doesn't love America. He loves money.

For those that think there was no collusion or no obstruction, there is a bridge in Brooklyn that is for sale.

The 2020 issue that matters is democracy itself (WashPost)

The future of U.S. democracy will be on the ballot next year. No one should pretend otherwise.

We witnessed President Trump’s obvious disdain for democratic rights and liberties once again last week during his warm encounter in Japan with Russian strongman Vladimir Putin.

And the Supreme Court’s partisan, antidemocratic decision on gerrymandering, written by Chief Justice John G.?Roberts Jr., showed how dangerous it would be to expand a right-wing majority hellbent on making our system less inclusive, less fair and less equal.

For these reasons, Democratic primary voters should not be knocked for making “electability” their highest criterion in picking a presidential candidate.
