Republican loyalty to Trump veers into “authoritarian bargain”

  1. Now I better get why I am supporting Donald Trump.

    Others like Mike Pence and Joe Biden also took docs they shouldn't have. The cooperated and will likely never face any charges.

    BUT EVERYTHNG WE KNOW HOW TRUMP GETS TREATED FROM THE FAKE STEELE REPORT TO THE FIRST IMPEACHMENT TRIAL AMD MORE INDICATE TRUMP DOES NOT GET A FAIR SHAKE.

    So he didn't cooperate.His crime then become his non-cooperation. He gets pushed into a corner then charged for standing in the corner.

  2. Trump is like the Jews. No matter what he's done, he's held to a double standard and then condemned for noticing.

  3. Wow! So you are simply saying that because Trump was denied ownership of top secret documents he not only stole them but lies about them and hid them - and just because he was forced to commit crimes he is held accountable - truly a victim of entrapment and double standards. . An your absurd rationalization is typical of his cult followers and clearly shows that the points made in the video are on target..

  4. Wow what an anti-Semitic assertion. When Jews lie steal or commit fraud they get punished. The double standard is that Trump was treated with deference when he lied stole secret documents and obstructed their return. Sometimes illegal actions are wrong not only for Jews but even for Trump.

  5. .Others who took docs may get off easy in part because they fessed up. But fessimg up doesn't make someone less culpable. In fact, it is easier to win a conviction when there is a confession.

    Trump never really had the option of fessing up becaue of the fanatical zeal of the Let to catch him on something -- anything. So his non-cooperation should get him the same treatment other elected officials are getting for cooperating.

  6. Wow in other words they didn't commit the additional crime of obstruction.
    Your explanation has nothing at all to do with the law
    Cases where documents were inadvertently taken as opposed to Trump where he deliberately took nuclear secrets.
    /You obviously did not read the indictment and you are simply repeating the nonsense arguments that Trump allies have been spouting. It is simply an imagined understanding of the law

  7. > When Jews lie steal or commit fraud they get punished.
    And when they don't, they still get punished.
    And if a Jew and a Gentile both commit a crime, only the Jew gets punished.

  8. So you are claiming Trump like the Jews committed no crime and is still being punished?!

  9. Is there no shame on this blog? The Steele dossier was paraded around and touted and in the end it was nothing. Allegations ≠ guilt.

  10. Total nonsensical Republican talking point - Durham was appointed to prove s such a claim - but he failed totally
    Steele report was not the basis of the Mueller Report nor was it evidence that the Russian investigation was a hoax
    This indictment was based on Trump's words and deeds and s not a hoax either - try reading the indictment before uttering dumb and untrue claims!

  11. Backpedalling is what liberals do.
    Steel dossier didn't work out? Oh, it was never important. Russian collusion investigation didn't work out? Yes it did, you just don't realize it. Media censored stuff to help Biden? Oh, you're just making that up and we'll erase any proof you bring.

  12. Creating a false narrative is what Republican love to do. No it wasn't created to get Trump by the Clinton campaign. Durham lost that approach in court.

  13. Again, you're revising history to avoid embarrassment. Go back and google stuff from the late 2010's that hasn't been "revised" by liberal sources and you'll see everything I said is correct.

  14. Why not simply provide the history you claim has been revised

  15. Are you claiming Clinton created the Steele Dossier to embarrass Trump? - Something which you realize is impossible

  16. As America awaits special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report, Fox News has gotten in the habit of pushing a false talking point about the origins of his investigation — that it began after Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in 2016 alerted the FBI to the Steele dossier, an unverified intelligence document that contains a number of claims, some of them far-fetched, about the Trump campaign’s dealings with Russia.
