Have you not read any of the reports and investigations. POTUS can't (and shouldn't), force those efforts...especially when lower levels in the system conceal the evidence. At numerous levels the FBI was ACTIVELY working against Trump and they covered up evidence. I get it, they didn't like him, I don't either but they let that bleed over and crush their ethics. Again...the FBI FALSIFIED FISA warrants...they KNEW the dossier was fake and didn't tell anyone...they had a copy of the laptop and helped promote a narrative that the story was false...and they had the memo on Biden but none of that made it to Wray and Barr. The first three items are all facts...are you cool that they suppressed these items? Dude at the end of the day I want Trump to go away and if the latest deal takes him out of play...cool beans, but there is some serious rot in the FBI and it helped sway an impeachment, an election and it is potentially covering for a corrupt POTUS.

One basic flaw in your assertion...a very flawed FBI that fought against the President at every turn. Leading up to and under the Trump administration, the FBI actively worked against Trump with falsified FISA warrants, a dossier they knew to be fake (which they allowed to be used to help impeach a sitting President), they helped to suppress the laptop story during the election (when they had a copy of said laptop). And, recently it comes to light that for years the FBI has had a memo that outlines a bribe scheme with the Bidens...and when several whistle blowers exposed the existence of that memo, the FBI actively fights to keep the memo secret. Come on Man... Now there are assertions of tapes of Joe and Hunter openly discussion the scheme with execs at Burisma. If there is even a possibility this is true, IMHO it is most certainly worth investigation...seriously don't you think we should at least try to find out if the sitting Vice President of the United States traded political favors for cash payments...especially if that Hombre is now in the White House, you know in the spirit of equal treatment under the law and all that stuff...

Exactly, he is a leader in the right to repair movement and fighting the suppressive layers of horrible bureaucracy that exist in NYC...Ultimately he left NYC for Texas, but it didn't stop there. If you want a prime example of just how horrid uber-liberal government can be check out his channel. A few gems of what they did to him...They filed liens against him for taxes he had already paid...and they misspelled the name which added to the A$$F@ckery. Then the filed a warrant on him, again for taxes he had already paid.

WTF!!!

This is what they hand waiver repeatedly...nothing to see here in their Liberal retain power lust. Most of the reasonable folks on this forum have repeatedly said Trump is a douche and we want him to go away. The other side can't manifest the intellectual honesty to look at everything that has happened and acknowledge there is at least something worth investigating. Biden is a mentally defunct criminal, but they will happily vote for him again...IMHO just as bad as the base that still supports Trump.

Well, then I guess there was no reason for Hillary have her staff get rid of her phones with a hammer...

We have a CSO page...wow who knew...seems like a waste, kind of like an 18X page. 🥃

I hear what you are saying but a couple of notes and some logic should apply. 1. Do you trust the DOJ and Comey? It is sad we have to say it out loud but actions over the past 8 years have completely destroyed my faith in the DOJ and much of the FBI. As you noted above they doctored FISA warrants to get to Trump. Additionally, they knew the dossier was fake, the helped suppress the Hunter Laptop story when they knew it was real because they had a copy of it, and as the Durham report identified political interference at multiple levels which the FBI admits saying they have already put fixes in place to remedy. 2. Please tell me you have a basic understanding of how these classified information systems work...I am obviously not going to lay out our nations classified information structure on an unclassified forum, but it should be basic knowledge that the systems that handle TS/SCI SAR/SAP do NOT touch other systems, personal servers in particular. It was a deliberate, purposeful and manual act to take that info and move it to Hillary's private server. I listed the first point above because they very carefully parsed their words (just like Comey did when he made the announcement during the election), and outright lied in a few others, a few examples from your quotes: a. There was no evidence that the senders or former Secretary Clinton intended that classified information be sent to unauthorized recipients, or that they intentionally sought to store classified information on unauthorized systems." Given what you should know about these systems you and I both both know this is untrue. b. "There was no evidence that the senders or former Secretary Clinton believed or were aware at the time that the emails contained classified information. In the absence of clear classification markings, the prosecutors determined that it would be difficult to dispute the sincerity of these witnesses’ stated beliefs that the material was not classified." (p. 255) So again, you know it was purposeful to move that data but because they stripped the marking off in the process (you should be saying HOLY F*CK with your inside voice), that somehow adds to the sincerity of their statements of ignorance? Seriously bro? c. "Although some witnesses expressed concern or surprise when they saw some of the classified content in unclassified emails, the prosecutors concluded that the investigation did not reveal evidence that any U.S. government employees involved in the SAP willfully communicated the information to a person not entitled to receive it, or willfully retained the same." (p. 255) Oh so because they didn't willfully send it to a person without a clearance its all ok...even though the FBI acknowledges the contents of Hillary's serve ended up in the hands of a foreign power. I am a simple dude and the bottomline for me is the deliberate act of taking info off those separate servers. I can certainly see a scenario when Pence and Biden ended up with classified documents without malice and I believe punishment/prosecution should account for that. Were the Pence documents exposed to a foreign power, likely no. Were the Biden documents exposed to a foreign power, given they were in multiple locations including the Chinese funded Penn/Biden Center AND in the garage within reach of his crackhead son...I would raise that risk to medium. Were the Trump documents exposed to a foreign power, prior to the indictment I would have said no since the Secret Service guards his home, but if reports of him showing items like the Iran CONOP to uncleared persons...I would also raise that risk to medium. With Trump it certainly appears to be a willful purposeful act and he should be held accountable and I hold the exact same assessment of Hillary. Again remember in Hillary's case it was a purposeful act to move that material and in the end it likely ended up in the hands of the Russians and Chinese and what was the impact of those actions. Let me remind you, straight from U.S. Code on the State Department: Title 22 - Foreign Relations Volume: 1Date: 2004-04-01Original Date: 2004-04-01Title: Section 9.5 - Classification designations.Context: Title 22 - Foreign Relations. CHAPTER I - DEPARTMENT OF STATE. SUBCHAPTER A - GENERAL. PART 9 - SECURITY INFORMATION REGULATIONS. § 9.5 Classification designations. (a) Only three (3) designations of classification are authorized: “Top Secret,” “Secret,” and “Confidential.” (1) Top Secret. Information may be classified “Top Secret” if its unauthorized disclosure could reasonably be expected to cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security. This classification should be used with the utmost restraint. Examples of “exceptionally grave damage” include armed hostilities against the United States or its allies; disruption of foreign relations vitally affecting the national security; the compromise of vital national defense plans or complex cryptologic and communications intelligence systems; the revelation of sensitive intelligence operations; and the disclosure of scientific or technological developments vital to national security.

Back to regularly scheduled sport bitching... Does Trump Multiple Indictments change the race? Guessing it will harden his base and given he admitted to not declassifying some things, he is in legal peril. A charge under the Espionage Act seems like a stretch and how do you make that argument when DOJ gave Hillary a pass when she purposely took TS/SCI SAR/SAP off a classified server and transferred them to an open system. I wonder if the DOJ will given Biden the same Espionage Act charge for taking large amounts of classified and storing them in multiple locations including his SCIF-Garage. Maybe we get lucky and neither one of these clowns can run.

I never said Nashville is a shithole, I almost moved there and I happen to love the town. What I said was your previous statement that Nashville is better than it has ever been is incorrect...For the past few years (mysteriously aligned with the defund the police movement), violent crimes and murder are increasing in Nashville and most other large U.S. cities.

I know the truth hurts...

Nashville.gov Nashville, TN Is Among the Most Dangerous US Metro Areas https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/nashville/violent-crime-rates-nashville-2022-report/ It is not apples to oranges. You have repeatedly stated all the big cities are run by democrats, that data (adjusted for population), clearly shows the rate of crime, especially violent crime is far higher when you live in an area controlled by democrats. Interestingly the 2022 election results by county directly correlates to that data set. Ummm the graphs I posted are indeed population adjusted, Perhaps you didn't actually read them? 🤷‍♂️ You used data adjusted to 100K, the graphs I posted are more granular (FBI data sets), and are down to 1K. Bottomline - you assert Nashville has never been better, that simply is not true, especially the past four years. Your data set stops in 2021, the data I highlighted continues in to 2023. From your data and mine, yes some crime is down, but violent crime (the crap that matters to me), is way up, particularly over the past four years. Violent crime and murder are up 29%, I would invite you to focus on the bottom lines of the link YOU posted...notice the red? Walk the data out to current day. Violent crime, especially since the last election when the dems went soft on crime, is unsurprisingly way up. A very telling quote from the story WKRN did "This year was the third year there had been over 100 homicides reported in Davidson County by Dec. 24. It was an 82.8% increase compared to just 10 years ago when there were only 58 homicides reported." We both know Nashville is fast growing city, but the growth rate over the last ten years is 20.9% while the murder rate is up 82.8%. Doesn't sound better than ever to me... The FBI stats as of January stop at 2021 (no idea why it takes them so long), but as of 2020 Nashville was #41 in FBI ranking of most dangerous cities in the United States. Given violent crime is accelerating thanks to the radical Dem policy of "Defund the Police", it will be interesting to see how Nashville relates to other cities.

As you know I have spent a LOT of time in Nashville and what you are saying is simply not true unless you are ignoring crime. Aside from lunatics detonating bomb laden RVs in the center of town you also have some other statistics that are counter to your assertion. In particular, violent crime is up year over year and increasing with homicide setting new records. Over the last decade homicide in Nashville is up a staggering 78%...hardly the utopian liberal hemp fest you are suggesting. Oh and according to current reports, after a 27% increase in 2019 and 2020, the 2023 homicide rate is up another 8.7% as compared to the same time in 2022...congrats! Adjusted for population and as compared to the rest of Tennessee and the nation, some sad numbers emerge. The violent crime rate in Nashville is almost double the rate of the rest of Tennessee and nearly triple the national average. The property crime and other crimes categories follow the same trend.

As you know there is a HUGE difference between acceptance/equal treatment of LGTBQ and the progressive movement that is being forced down our throats, I would hope @nsplayr would agree. Compare and contrast how the issue is being handled by the progressive media in Florida and California. Last year Florida passed a law that the progressive movement absolutely hated because it thwarts their agenda...they hate it so much they changed the name and have repeatedly called it the "don't say gay law" even the the word "gay" is no where in the verbiage. That law simply states schools will not have “instruction” or “discussion” of sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade. If you see something wrong with that...god help you. The progressives are of course upset and screen it impacts their free speech as if their right to proselytize gender change to kids 5-8 years old is more important than parental rights. In California schools have allowed institutions like Planned Parenthood and organizations that promote gender change to promote this ideology without the knowledge or permission of parents. In these sessions they tell 5-8 year olds they can get puberty blockers without their parents finding out. Truly sick humans. I supposed these same groups would enable a six year old who wants to be a pirate and schedule his eye removal and peg leg surgery. This ideology is celebrated in California schools and parents who push back find themselves under surveillance by the FBI as possible domestic terrorists. It is very interesting that over 80% of kids who seek gender conversion end up changing their mind...80%. I will support your right to be what you want and love who you want all day, but stop promoting this to pre-adolencents and stop cutting parents out of the process.
