GloriousGbola:Correct this. White Republicans fought white democrats who wanted to own slaves. Not a single Republican owned slaves. The Republican party was founded mainly to stop slavery. Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil rights Act because in his own words, it would have the niggaz voting for democrats for another 200 years. Which they still do |

IjeBos:The Republicans who fought democrats to free the slaves . How many white people have I met. I have worked with them, I work with them, I shoot pool with them, I attend their quiz nights ( (my children's schools), I occasionally get to watch their pantomimes and plays and attend other social functions with them. My bosses are white from all over. I save them.shitloads of money through my work. |

IjeBos:El Salvador can slap charges on him and deny Trump extradition until he completes his sentence. They can say he slapped a guard. He was a high ranking member of a gang known for its violence. Nothing to celebrate here. It only shows that Republican appointed justices can look at the law strictly without political bias Unlike the other 3 activists in that court who will only go against democrat positions when they are too extreme. |

cococandy:Trump's economy was booming until they brought in COVID. You tell me why Faucci was pardoned. He was the fox guarding the chicken house. We know Bill Gates and WHO had simulated a pandemic in October 2019. We now know at least 7 members of the USA military team returned with COVID like symptoms. The games were held in Wuhan the epicentre of COVID only two months before COVID was unleashed officially. We know they called Trump a racist for banning travel from China,the land of brown people. We know Faucci disregarded an Obama order 2014 to halt funding of Gain of Function research ( I'm sure you know what that is) on dangerous corona viruses .Faucci shifted the experiments to Wuhan in 2016 -17 or so and resumed funding it through Dr Daszak of Ecohealth Alliance. We know scientists in Feb 2020 said the virus was bio engineered in a lab, 3 days later they sang a different tune after Faucci held a conference call with them ,their email exchanges are out there. Not a single bat with COVID virus as it exists in humans has been produced so far, yet they claim it was zoonotic. The caves where the original bats was found are 900 miles away from Wuhan. We know Faucci came up with face diapers,social distancing and lockdowns from no scientific basis at all in order to " stop the spread ' and also achieve " herd immunity". We know anyone who opposed lockdowns and use of medicines like IVM and HCL was ostracized and many lost their jobs We now know patient zero ( I'm sure you know what means) was Dr Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu who worked in the WuFlu lab. https://blog.whitecoatwaste.org/2023/06/15/covid-origin-wcw-investigation-proves-u-s-govt-funded-patient-zero/ Finally recall COVID was Trump's Katrina moment ( Nancy Pelosi quote),the democrats and deep state did all they could to change electoral rules. Aided by big tech they took control of public opinion to dislodge Trump from power. If you believe in a god ,it was only through the Almighty that Trump was able to escape being banned from contesting,being bankrupted,being smeared in a court by a IndecentStar whose initials are STD, being jailed for life, being shot at Butler in the only one rally out of 75 that CNN bothered to cover live. Plus survived a murder attempt from Ryan Routh , a broke pensioner who owned 6 phones and had talked to contacts he thought were Ukrainians to purchase a $100K Stinger missile to down Trump's plane. I'd hate Trump if anything of what I've written is not true.You are in the medical field ,you should be the expert here. Bush was a war monger ,who started unnecessary wars but wanted everyone to own a home and facilitated risky mortgage financing that wall street took advantage of. |

bemeruca:---Abredo Garcia, was a lawful U.S. resident with valid immigration status--- ---The U.S. government cannot arbitrarily deport individuals---as immigration laws exist precisely to prevent and correct these kinds of unethical and inhumane actions—due process must be followed--- ---Why should taxpayer dollars be wasted on the unjust deportation of immigrants who are legally residing in the country, instead of focusing on what Trump claimed was the priority: targeting violent or criminal illegal immigrants for deportation?--- |

Crossfire Hurricane Files released. https://justthenews.com/accountability/russia-and-ukraine-scandals/read-declassified-russia-collusion-documents-turned-over 700 pages of them. Now I'll backtrack and see who thought Trump is Putin's puppet once everything is laid out . One thing I'm 100% sure , is that Judge Boasberg will feature in the document releases. Contents released . 2025.04.10 - Adm Rogers NSA interview.pdf File 2025.04.10 - Bruce Ohr interviews.pdf File 2025.04.10 - Christopher Steele Binder.pdf File 2025.04.10 - Comey text messages.pdf File 2025.04.10 - DJT Flynn Christie defensive briefing.pdf File 2025.04.10 - FISA notes on Steele reports.pdf File 2025.04.10 - Flynn interview.pdf File 2025.04.10 - Halper files.pdf File 2025.04.10 - HRC attorneys defensive briefing.pdf File 2025.04.10 - McCabe memos.pdf File 2025.04.10 - McCabe text messages.pdf File 2025.04.10 - Mifsud interview.pdf File 2025.04.10 - Page & Strzok Lync messages.pdf File 2025.04.10 - Page text messages.pdf File 2025.04.10 - Priestap text messages.pdf File 2025.04.10 - State Dept Steele binder.pdf File 2025.04.10 - Steele reports thru Simpson & McCain.pdf File 2025.04.10 - Strzok text messages.pdf File 2025.04.10 - Wolfe interview.pdf These are all links. This looks like the beginning of the end.The walls are closing in. Ijebos,a few days you asked why noone is in jail. These FBI official documents hopefully will show if crimes were committed by top ranking FBI officials (some of whom security clearances were revoked). Could this release which definitely was conceived by Obama be the cause of the apparent rumours of impending divorce with Mitchell Obama? Time will tell whether she will still be associated with that scoundrel. Yes I will call him a scoundrel. A scoundrel. |

raumdeuter:She is uninformed about HVAC careers and the opportunities they present. My friend works as an HVAC technician in Canada, earning CAD $38 per hour for a 41-hour work week. This is approximately CAD $80,000 per year before deductions for pension and other benefits. I believe this career path is far more advantageous than attending university and accumulating a debt burden of $200K for a degree that may not guarantee a job. She is one of the problems that needs solution. |

Grok analysis of released crossfire hurricane documents. Jay Dook @JayDook · 8h Grok analysis #1: Based on the documents I analyzed, it’s clear there’s a tangled web of actions, motivations, and potential missteps by various players in the Russiagate saga—FBI and DOJ officials, intelligence figures, and even political operatives. Let’s break it down and explore who might face scrutiny or prosecution, sticking to what’s in the texts and avoiding speculation beyond that. Potential "Bad Guys" and Prosecutable Actions FBI Leadership (Comey, McCabe, Priestap)What They Did: Comey’s firing sparked the Trump investigation, with McCabe greenlighting it based on Trump’s Holt interview and Comey’s loyalty/Flynn memos (Page 97). Priestap briefed Priebus to counter a NYT story but refused to go public, citing security risks (Page 91). Why It’s Shady: Critics could argue McCabe rushed to investigate Trump with thin justification, possibly fueled by bias after Comey’s exit. Comey’s memo-keeping and leaking (not detailed here but widely known) might also suggest a personal agenda. Priestap’s selective briefing could be seen as playing favorites with the White House. Prosecution Odds: Slim under current law—investigative discretion is broad, and no clear crime emerges. Political bias isn’t illegal unless it crosses into provable misconduct (e.g., falsifying evidence). No recent moves suggest prosecution as of April 10, 2025. DOJ Officials (Rosenstein, Ohr)What They Did: Rosenstein drafted the Comey firing memo under Trump’s pressure, then mulled wearing a wire and invoking the 25th Amendment (Pages 97-100). Ohr funneled Steele’s dossier info to the FBI, despite Steele’s clear anti-Trump slant (Pages 7-9). Why It’s Shady: Rosenstein’s wiretap idea and 25th Amendment talk look like desperate overreactions, potentially abusing his role. Ohr’s backchannel with Steele, tied to Clinton-linked Simpson, smells like partisan meddling in an official capacity. Prosecution Odds: Rosenstein’s actions, while wild, don’t clearly violate statutes—ethics probes are more likely than jail time. Ohr’s conduct could draw scrutiny for misuse of position, but no concrete charges have surfaced recently. Trump’s declassification push (March 25, 2025, per CNN) might reignite interest, but it’s unclear if it’s actionable. Steele and Simpson (Dossier Players)What They Did: Steele fed Ohr unverified claims about Trump (e.g., Carter Page and FSB leverage), driven by desperation to stop Trump’s election (Pages 7-9). Simpson, hired by a Clinton lawyer, spread this to multiple outlets. Why It’s Shady: The dossier’s unverified nature and Steele’s bias raise questions about deliberate misinformation. Simpson’s role amplifies the political weapon vibe. Prosecution Odds: Private citizens have more leeway—libel or fraud might apply if provably false and damaging, but no public moves suggest active cases. The FBI used Steele’s info, so their liability might shield him unless new evidence flips that. Mifsud (Papadopoulos Trigger)What They Did: Mifsud denied telling Papadopoulos about Russian DNC emails, claiming a misunderstanding, yet linked him to a Russian contact (Pages 83-84). Why It’s Shady: If he lied to the FBI, it’s a crime (18 U.S.C. § 1001). His role as a possible Russian cutout could imply espionage or interference. Prosecution Odds: He’s a foreign national, complicating U.S. jurisdiction. No recent updates indicate pursuit, and his denials muddy the waters. Trump’s Side of the Ledger What He Did: Fired Comey, pressed Rogers to debunk collusion publicly, asked McCabe about voting and morale, and pushed Rosenstein to include “Russia” in the firing memo (Pages 73-81, 93-100). Why It Looks Bad: These moves scream interference—obstruction of justice (18 U.S.C. § 1503) could be argued if intent to derail the probe is proven. Why It Might Not Be: Presidents have firing authority, and his asks didn’t always cross into orders. No hard evidence here ties him to Russian collusion. Prosecution Odds: Mueller didn’t charge him, and DOJ policy avoids indicting sitting presidents. As of now, he’s not the target—his allies (e.g., Patel) are pushing to expose investigators, not defend him in court. Recent Context (Up to April 10, 2025) Trump’s March 25 declassification of Crossfire Hurricane docs (CNN) and Kash Patel’s FBI role signal a counteroffensive against the probe’s architects. Patel’s “halfway down the Russiagate hole” quip suggests more revelations could target FBI/DOJ figures. No major prosecutions of these officials have been reported recently, but the forced exits of FBI brass (e.g., Dennehy, March 3, 2025, per NYT) and Jan. 6 agent reviews (NBC, Feb. 4, 2025) show Trump’s team flexing muscle. This could set the stage for investigations into investigators, though legal hurdles remain. Who’s Most at Risk? Ohr: His Steele ties and DOJ position make him a plausible scapegoat for “deep state” narratives. Misconduct probes could escalate if declassified docs show he hid conflicts. Rosenstein: His wiretap/25th Amendment flirtations are the juiciest for critics, but prosecution would need ironclad proof of intent—tough to get. FBI Rank-and-File: Jan. 6 agents face job purges (Reuters, Jan. 31, 2025), not prosecution, unless misconduct is pinned on them individually. Bottom Line The documents cast plenty of shadows—overzealous investigators, dossier drama, and Trump’s pushback all look messy. Right now, Trump’s camp is on offense, declassifying and purging, but no one’s in cuffs yet. The FBI knew from day one that the Kremlin or GRU had not hacked the DNC emails.
