CNN Commentator: Trump Asking Russia to Release Hillary Emails ‘Almost Treasonous’

I saw something today - Sunday, July 15th, 2018- exactly like this on CNN's Jake Tapper show about 1:3- 2:30 pm in, by the way, a McDonald's. There was the same CNN banner stating Donald Trump asked the Russians for help finding Hillary's emails, knowing all along that Mr. Trump was being ironic. In the same way when candidate John McCain jokingly replied it was about six million, adding this remark would be distorted by Obama who sat near him. It was indeed. By Obama: TD

Anti Trump Derangement Syndrome

Snopes says True, but elaborates without judging Obama. "Although this item is “true” in the strictly literal sense that John McCain did make the remark attributed to him, how much importance to place upon it is a subjective issue. Predictably, Democrats painted Senator McCain’s remarks as indicative of his being out of touch with ordinary Americans and desirous of giving tax breaks to the rich, while the McCain campaign dismissed the candidate’s statement as an obvious joke. (A Democratic National Committee video spotlighted Senator McCain’s “$5 million” statement while omitting the remarks that surrounded it; the full exchange in context can be viewed here.) "

CNN and the left: a marriage made in hell.

"CNN commentator Christine Quinn went there in reaction to Donald Trump asking Russia to release Hillary Clinton‘s missing 30,000 emails."Trump today said, “They probably have her 33,000 emails that she lost and deleted. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”"Quinn was stunned by that and cried, “It’s honestly almost treasonous!”"Fellow CNN commentator Andre Bauer shot back, “It’s treasonous to have 30,000 emails disappear! It’s treasonous to the American public!”"They fought as Quinn called Trump irresponsible and Bauer insisted Trump just “wants to be friendly with everybody.' ” . . .

In an internet search, the entire first page supported the distorted,  anti-Trump version. Finally on page two of the Bing search: ‘Of course I’m being sarcastic’: MSM misses Trump’s joke on Russia & Hillary emails.  They didn't miss it; they chose this interpretation. The Tunnel Dweller.

I say President Trump has not spawned this evil from the left; he has revealed it.

I do not expect all this vitriol to pass when Trump is gone. This is what you will see out of the socialist Democrats from now on. TD 

"Not only did he look like a creep but he acted like one. He lied to his wife at breakfast about his mistress. As for Republicans and Democrats politicizing the event, it is what they do. It is like puppies peeing on the carpet. They cannot control themselves."   Don Surber

Peter Strzok’s arrogance is the product of a corrupt FBI  . . . "Gradually, though, anger gave way to amazement as Strzok grew increasingly combative and condescending. Given his predicament, the sneering and smirking were stupid, and yet he persisted." . . .  Rudy Guiliani calls Strzok a "disgrace"

Why The Peter Strzok Hearing Was A Giant Waste Of Time, said Ben Shapiro at the Daily Wire.
. . . "Perhaps the only thing the hearing accomplished was to make everyone look rather terrible. Republicans looked like they wanted their moment in the sun; Democrats looked like they were defending bias in law enforcement; Strzok looked like a self-assured, smug jerk." . . .

No, Ben, it was a Strzok of genius
. . . "Wrong. The Strzok hearing showed this loon for who he is." . . .
. . . "Shapiro said the central question was "Did Strzok’s bias affect the Russian collusion investigation?"
"How could it not be? He showed himself to be a smug insider who sneered at congressmen. Of course he tried to stop the election of President Trump.
"His testimony may have sunk the already listing Mueller investigation." . . .

Peter Strzok's Smirk Said He Was Lying  . . . "The shrinks call that "inappropriate affect" and it sure was.  What the hell was this guy smirking about? Even in the remote possibility (oh, how remote) that his bias had no direct political and investigatory consequence, he had shamed himself, his family, and the FBI and its personnel tremendously, damaging the organization materially for years to come. And yet he was smirking.
"In fact, he wasn't just smirking.  He was fighting back as if he were the wounded party. One "useful idiot" on the Democratic side even said he deserved the Purple Heart." . . .

The Strzok Hearing Shows How Deeply Corrupt DC Has Become – Defiance And Chaos Rule The Floor  . . . "I watched parts of the Strzok hearing today and it ticked me off. I was so angry, I couldn’t even write on it. I’ve calmed down a bit now and I wanted to give you an update on today’s treasonous activities. The Democrats actually applauded Strzok’s obstruction today."

"The first thing I saw this morning after Denise Simon kindly pointed it out, was Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) highlighting the number of guilty pleas and indictments secured by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. As he spoke, Democratic staffers then held up five large posters showing the three Trump campaign officials – including Michael Flynn and Rick Gates – and two campaign associates who have pleaded guilty to charges in the special counsel’s probe. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) interrupted Cummings and questioned if the posters were appropriate. But unfortunately, the Republicans could not cite a rule disallowing the disgraceful display, so it was allowed." . . .

. . . "Rep. Trey Gowdy gets the prize though for actually having a spine on the floor and slapping Strzok over his actions. I thoroughly enjoyed Gohmert, Gowdy and Jordan nailing the asshat. Gowdy told Strzok that he doesn’t “give a damn” what Strzok appreciated or wanted. Good for him and the rest of us don’t either." . . .

Black Leaders Call for More Civility, Official Rebuke of Maxine Waters

Daily Signal  "Responding to inflammatory remarks by Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., other African-American leaders gathered Thursday morning on Capitol Hill to appeal for civility and for Congress to censure Waters.

"Many saw Waters’ remarks as calling on supporters to continue confronting and harassing members of President Donald Trump’s administration, heightening a lack of civility in American public discourse.

" 'Her call to extremism, based on where another American citizen works and who they associate with, must be sternly addressed by [House] Speaker Paul Ryan,” Star Parker, president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, said of Waters, adding: 

An apology is not enough, nor does she offer one, after being asked by [the] House speaker. As we move into two months of intense debate over the next [Supreme Court] nomination, the censuring of Maxine Waters becomes of extreme urgency.
