Napolitano: Trump's admitted contact with Ukraine is a crime

CSM Charles Hayden Passed 7/29/2025 I understand your preference. If you follow my evolution of thought, I too began there. The President's own statements have put that in question. I am fighting my inherent antipathy for cognitive dissonance and attempting to see beyond that. It would be much easier for me, particularly on this site, to continue to state that I have faith even if I don't. I was on the right side of the fence. I now walk atop it. Which direction I fall is dependent solely on the facts. I will not fall based on opinion, conjecture or wishful thinking. I love this country enough to bear the slings and arrows that come with a divergence of opinion in this time of ours if that is necessary

SP5 Dennis Loberger - LOL, I'm not even going to begin to try to respond to your wall of text; that's why paragraphs are a thing. I'm going to just sit back with my popcorn and watch this all play out. But here's some of why Trump said China should investigate: https://www.citizenfreepress.com/column-2/peter-schweizer-with-mark-levin-biden-family-chinese-secret/

Cpl Mark McMiller , thanks for the share. The question remains, since he could have called for this in 2017 but didn't, isn't he doing it now because Biden is his premier opponent? What you believe determines where you come down on this. I too will watch this play out, but without the popcorn

SP5 Dennis Loberger - I think he's doing it now because a lot of this information wasn't known and has recently come to light. Remember that Joe Biden and the mainstream media originally painted this, and continue to do so, as Biden doing nothing wrong.

SP5 Dennis Loberger - Your analogy isn't relevant to what actually happened. David jumping in puddles wasn't meant to, nor did it, harm you. The last POTUS intended to and did harm the current POTUS and ended up harming our nation in the process. Trump is justified in using every means at his disposal to turn over every stone.

MAJ James Woods - Really? So who tipped off the FBI? And how do you justify the FBI relying solely on the Steele dossier to obtain the FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign when the FBI knew the dossier was unsubstantiated information commissioned and paid for by Trump's political rivals in order to smear him -- information that the FBI unlawfully failed to disclose to the FISA court. The FBI knew the Steele dossier was bullshit because Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec told them as much in an email eight days prior to them seeking the FISA warrant. And, by the way, with all due respect, only a fool believes the Dem spin talking point that what the FBI did was not spying, as it most assuredly was by any definition of of the word.

Cpl Mark McMiller Not that sorry ass lame argument again. Ya will never accept the Steele dossier was just one piece of evidence submitted with other probable cause evidence for one FISA warrant. So what’s your excuse about the other FISA warrants that were renewed based on other submitted evidence? You do acknowledge new evidence was submitted with each renewal. Now if you’re done with your conspiracy BS and trashing our federal law enforcement.

MAJ James Woods - Okay, go ahead and list any and all the other evidence that was submitted with the Steele Dossier to get the Carter Page warrant. Go ahead and list each other FISA warrant along with the evidence that was submitted to obtain it. And go ahead and answer the questions I've already asked you: Who tipped off the FBI? How do you justify the FBI using the Steele Dossier as evidence to obtain a warrant when they knew it was nothing but unsubstantiated opposition research commissioned and paid for by Trump's political rivals? And how do you justify the FBI violating federal law by not disclosing to the FISA court that information as well as the fact that they had been advised by the State Department that the Steele Dossier was bullshit?

I'm not trashing federal law enforcement. I'm trashing criminals who trashed federal law enforcement by committing wrongdoing under the color of law. If you can't see the difference, you're part of the problem.
