[quote=@The Harbinger of Ferocity] [@POOHEAD189] When ever does the current administration admit anything to their opposition? Look at the lengths they have gone to in order to prevent leaking. Everything they do behind the scenes is under absolute lock and key, utter secrecy, because anything they do - even [i]going back to the moon[/i] - is somehow fuel for controversy and spite. As for having "Nothing to hide.", that seems to be the real issue, that they have nothing to hide. But this comes back around, do you enjoy people spying on you? Everyone makes a great point of the hysteria about "net neutrality" and internet privacy, see all the issues taken with the National Security Agency alone, so why would this be any different? Let us not forget the man has been called "one of the most transparent administrations in history" and has complied with all the requests for information. The Donald Trump Jr. meeting, as we have come to learn was a set-up by his opposition in an attempt to trap him for having a meeting. I remind you that they were indeed there under entirely different pretenses that had [i]nothing[/i] to do with intelligence gathering about their opponent. If that were untrue, the argument of collusion would have been proven outright. Donald Trump Jr. politely saw himself out the moment it turned that direction and this has been publicly validated; it was posted directly to Twitter even. I am not going to point fingers at previous administration, because everyone rolls their eyes at it, but thus far? There is significantly less scandal here still compared to "scandal free" presidencies and ones that promised transparency and still have holdovers who refuse to honor it - to the point of ignoring court orders, repeatedly choosing to plead the fifth, decline to appear, or submit documents for Freedom of Information requests or investigative agency demands. [i]That[/i] is suspicious to me. The President and his inner circle being completely tight-lipped? Not an ounce of shock down the spine here. [/quote] Sorry, I was busy the last two days. 1) This isn't the 'opposition' that is questioning. This is the United States of America trying to see who they can and cannot trust. 2) This also isn't 'people are spying on me and no one likes that.' The fact of the matter is, this isn't a case where some backwards neighbor is rooting through someone's garbage. This is a Federal Investigation, and Donald Trump, along with his staff are under allegations of treason. Anytime someone is not 100% truthful with the investigation, particularly with Russians, means they are either guilty of something they don't want found out, they have abysmal memories, or they're just stupid. Also, if I were you I'd find other sources than the ones you used that claim the meeting was a 'plot by the opposition.' It's already known Donald Trump Jr. wanted to find info on [i]his[/i] opposition at the meeting but he did not get the chance. [quote]Look to the fake news parade and how many times they have jumped the metaphorical gun with believing they had proof on this investigation; no one knowing anything is for the better, because apparently, if they even so much as think they know something, they fire it off and hope they are right. That is not how an agency, federal or news, should be doing business.[/quote] I wouldn't call people claiming there is a smoking gun 'fake news' but it's definitely misleading so far. Though it's about as misleading as Trump calling CNN fake news.
