Good luck to you and Trump fighting a legal battle using character assassination. I'd suggest pretending you are above the law as well, but they are already trying that one. I know! Let's make the mid-terms all about staving off impeachment! Nope, already using that one too. Well, must be time to send Guilliani on a media blitz again. Surely he can't screw things up any worse than he already has.

The Smear Campaign Against Mueller:
Debunking the Nunes Memo and the
Other Attacks on the Russia Investigation

Noah Bookbinder, Norman Eisen,
Caroline Fredrickson, and Kristin Amerling1
January 31, 2018

Myth #2: Members of Mueller’s current team have conflicts of interest that disqualify them from work on the investigation because (1) some made contributions to Democratic candidates; and (2) SCO counsel Andrew Weissmann in January 2016 sent a congratulatory email to then-Acting Attorney General Sally Yates about her position on the travel ban.

The Facts: Members of the Special Counsel investigative team are not disqualified from participating in the inquiry as the rules governing the conduct of executive branch employees generally and DOJ investigators specifically expressly permit them to make campaign contributions, and none served as an adviser to or official of the Clinton campaign. Nor would the Special Counsel have been permitted under applicable law to inquire about his staff’s political contributions. The Weissmann email to Yates also does not establish a violation of conflict of interest rules because it shows no bias with respect to the subject matter of the Special Counsel’s investigation.

Myth #3: Mueller’s inquiry is partisan and tainted because of actions by two DOJ employees: (1) investigator Peter Strzok, who worked on the Special Counsel
investigation until July 2017, sent personal texts critical of the President to a coworker; and (2) former associate deputy attorney general Bruce Ohr, a career attorney
at DOJ who was reportedly reassigned in December after it was revealed that he had failed to disclose his contacts with Fusion GPS, a consulting company that employed his wife and that the Clinton campaign had commissioned for research on Trump.

The Facts: There is no basis for concluding the investigation has been tainted by political bias of either Strzok or Ohr. In fact, Strzok has not worked on the investigation since last July, and we know of no evidence that Ohr ever worked on the investigation. When Mueller learned of Strzok’s texts he immediately acted to remove him from the investigation, a step consistent with applicable DOJ regulations that appears to reflect Mueller’s sound judgment and ability to act decisively to reinforce an ethic of impartiality in his inquiry

Are you kidding? You openly support a Republican who boasts of "moving on women like a bitch!" And "grabbing them by the pussy!" And "forcibly kissing them simply because I'm a star and can get away with it!" And is accused by over a dozen women of sexual assault and who has lied about paying hush money to porn stars, playboy bunnies, and goodness knows who else to not reveal his affairs with them while married to Melania right before the election. I mean really? You can't think of a single Republican that compares to Schneiderman?

Goodness, you are such a hypocrite. That is your benchmark? Did he beat them or not? News flash; grabbing someone by the pussy is sexual assault plain and simple. And you want to excuse him and his behavior just because "he is doing a good job." Personally, I think your defense of Trump in this regard shows us all exactly who you are. While you are at it, you might as well make excuses for Rob Porter, Steve Wynn, Andy Puzder, Corey Lewandowski, Roy Moore, Elliot Broidy and all the other right-wing perverts that have been outed lately.

Do you even know?  You really are just a leftist tool for the media, but if you have an incident let's hear it.  I doubt though, we'll hear anything from you aside from the stupidity you burp up on a regular basis.. 

There are dozens of allegations that all pass the criteria of independent attestation. I think that at this point, you have to be the numbskull if you are serious about taking a position that defends Trump against allegations of sexual assault, harassment, and misconduct. No one seriously thinks, except for you of course, that he is not guilty of these charges; the only question that remains is how bad is it really and what will it finally take for any of it to matter politically.

Cassandra Searles (2013)

Rolling Stone and NPR have reported that Cassandra Searles, Miss Washington USA of 2013, was fondled by Trump during the Miss USA pageant of that year.Yahoo!News published an article in June 2016  stating that Searles had made Facebook postings that accused Trump of making unwanted advances. She said that he was "continually" groping her buttocks and had asked her to go "to his hotel room". Searles also asserted that Trump had "treated us like cattle". Trump and his campaign have not specifically responded to Searles' allegations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_sexual_misconduct_allegations#Allegations_of_pageant_dressing_room_visits

Trump owned the Miss Universe franchise, which includes Miss USA and Miss Teen USA, from 1996 to 2015. Contestants of the shows have alleged that, during his tenure, Trump would enter the dressing rooms while they were in various stages of undress. These incidents happened in 1997, 2000, 2001, and 2006.

During a Howard Stern interview in 2005, Trump described his practice of walking in unannounced while beauty pageant contestants were naked or partially clothed:

I'll go backstage before a show, and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else....You know, no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant. And therefore I'm inspecting it.... Is everyone OK? You know, they're standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible-looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that. But no, I've been very good.

In the same interview with Stern, Trump declined to say whether he had slept with any contestants, stating "It could be a conflict of interest". Stern then imitated a foreign contestant (“Mr. Trump, in my country, we say hello with vagina”), and Trump jokingly responded: “Well, you could also say, as the owner of the pageant, it’s your obligation to do that.

In this political climate Franken was a fool to resign.

Possibly, but frankly (no pun intended) I'm glad he did. Women have suffered far too much at the hands of powerful misogynistic men, and toleration for it should never be an option.

So, now your benchmark is, did he rape them? Wow! It's all just fun and games and boys will be boys until rape? You are indeed part of the problem when it comes to mistreatment of women. On top of that, this is an extraordinary amount of goal post moving even for you Richard. At this point, I'm confident that if someone did provide evidence of rape, then you would say, "But did he kill them?" Unbelievable.

They corrected their story forthwith, once they realized their error, and you are misleading yourself. "There were NO wiretaps," is not wholly accurate either. There was a pen register, or in other words, they were able to monitor who was calling who, just not what they said. Seriously, Richard, you are a bit worked up lately. I mean the over the top voluminous hyperbole, the constant stream of name-calling and insults as well as the fever pitch delivery is all of course entirely standard for you, but you do seem a bit more unhinged than lately. I think you may have misunderstood what #BeBest is all about. You are not supposed to act like the President; you should do the opposite.
