Prudence really needs to watch what the opposing views media has to offer once in a while. This is not going to end well for the Clintons, Comey, Lynch, Obama, and hopefully some msm scumbags 8)

So, who are you, Tim or Bay?

Nether...I mean NEITHER.

Wait. They are investigating whether hush money paid by Trump before he was president was a campaign finance law violation? lol
Somebody should bump the thread where the former head of the Federal Election Commission confirmed a candidate can donate unlimited amounts of money to his or her own campaign.
Also, even it was a violation, Trump would just paid fine. Like Obama did.
Obama campaign to pay $375,000 fine for omitting some donor’s names in 2008
Best of the Obama campaign

President Obama’s campaign has agreed to pay a $375,000 fine to the Federal Election Commission, among the largest penalties in the agency’s history.
The fine was imposed after an audit of the campaign’s books showed that it failed to report the identities of donors who gave large checks in the weeks before the 2008 election, according to a copy of the agreement between the FEC and the president’s campaign.
The document shows that the Obama campaign failed to disclose the identities of donors responsible for $2 million in contributions in the weeks ahead of the election. The campaign also misreported the dates of $85 million in other contributions.
In addition, the Obama campaign also kept $1.3 million in contributions that were above the legal maximum allowed for a federal campaign, failing to return them within the 60 days required by law. The campaign kept almost $874,000 of those donations until the FEC discovered they were unlawful.
“The 2008 campaign was a record-breaking campaign with over 3 million grass-roots donors,” said Katie Hogan, a spokeswoman for the campaign. “The very few outstanding questions have now all been resolved.”
The $375,000 fine is the largest collected by the FEC in the past five years. It ranks within the top 15 fines since 1980, according to a list on the agency’s Web site.
The Republican National Committee had charged in the midst of Obama’s 2008 race against Republican Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) that the Democrat’s campaign was improperly accepting foreign money and taking donations over the legal limits. In a partial vindication for the Obama campaign, the FEC did not fine Obama for taking any foreign money, according to the document.
The RNC released the document, first reported by Politico, on Friday afternoon after receiving it in an official response from the FEC.
Obama raised about $750 million during the 2008 campaign, shattering all records for political fundraising. His campaign roughly matched that amount again in 2012, even though he did not face a major opponent in the primary.
Obama’s campaign will be required to return the excess money to its donors or, failing that, hand it over to the U.S. Treasury.

What a moron you are. Stop being a socialist pig and look at reality. He is exonerated. Barr is going after Democratic cronies. You are a moron.

"It won't end well" is becoming an old and sad song some people keep singing ad nauseam. I'll worry about it when it happens, if you don't mind.

Isn't the issue more about how the campaign donations are spent and not so much who donated them?

No. A candidate can pay his own money to a former side chick to keep her quiet, in an unlimited amount (e.g., a nondisclosure agreement), even it's considered a campaign contribution. It's a non-issue. And Cohen, being the incredibly dishonest, dumb dirtbag he is, pleaded guilty to something that wasn't a crime.

Trumptard is a lifelong con man and criminal and that's never going to change (same goes for his idiot spawn)
Eventually he will be out of office and the investigations will just keep rolling
His best hope to to stall it for a few years if he can win another term

………... is becoming an old and sad song some people keep singing ad nauseam. I'll worry about it when it happens, if you don't mind.

time will tell
in the meantime I'll keep trusting my own eyes and ears and making my own conclusions about Trump and EVERYONE else
I'm sure you're doing exactly the same thing so you'll have no issue with that

Term limits on every level of government would be a good start. To deny there is corruption on every level, with both parties, would be naïve. But you keep your focus on the top dog like cnn wants you to. ;)

I don't CNN so I have no idea what they want me to do
sounds like you must watch it though
BTW - classic deflection with the everybody on all sides is guiltly
I'm not aware of anyone in the Democratic party openly siding with a foreign adversary over his own government
Maybe I missed that since I don't watch CNN
Can you give me some examples?

It's a newer song than you fine folks on the left singing about russian collusion and team Trump. You're still singing it FFS

So you're saying only republicans are corrupt?
Who's the forgein adversary?
If you're asking about democrats, we could start with killary, obama, mueller giving Russia uranium, or russia giving killary millions of dollars, or killary and obama going to bed while leaving our military guys to die or we could talk about obama bringing in muzzie "refugees" unvetted from countries that are known terrorist supporters and advocates for the destruction of the USA. Would you like to start there?
BTW, nice deflection " I don't CNN...." ::)

The idea of new blood in government is great. My only concern is that no one worth their salt will put up with the crap they and their families have to endure to run for office and worse it they win.

I'd appreciate it if you'd count me out on the collusion business. I'm not singing that song.

Isn't constantly bringing up HRC, Obama and even Mueller kind if like beating a dead horse? It would be more prudent to worry about the current group of players as opposed the those who are no longer even in the game.

Deal...
I'm not going to dig through your posts to find out if that was the case or not, so I'll take you at your word for it, and just keep this thread in mind if you start singing.

Not really. Those that were involved, created the political climate we are experiencing now and should be held accountable.

Most of what precedes today happened yesterday, not just three people's suspected actions during a specific time. I'm more interested in what comes after Trump then what came before. You cannot change the past. But, you might be able to change the future.

Is it still getting worse daily so he can't recover?

And based on the current political situation there is no reason to vote against Trump. Glad you agree.

I think that it goes without saying most liberals will not vote for Trump in 2020 and many conservatives will not vote for the democratic nominee. Obviously, who that nominee is will greatly influence the vote.

Really?
Tell me just five that are based on policies NOT feewings, and justify them. Should be very easy to come up with five since "there is every reason to vote anyone other than Trump.." ::)
By the way, no posting bullshit links to make you seem smart. Post your own thoughts on his policies, decisions, and/or what another candidate's positions are that are better and why? AGAIN....NO feelings bullshit about you don't like how he talks. Grow up, be a man, and post a real adult conversation supporting your post here.
