But is that what you are legit arguing here, or just using for cover as a way of not being willing to look at the implications of the claims and the nature of the evidence coming out?
I was skeptical of the Bush Admin's claims but not dismissive until the Powell presentation to the UN. To me, the evidence didn't add up and while not completely conclusive in eliminating the potential of WMD's, it certainly didn't justify going to war.
In the case of the Russia investigation, while some are jumping right to impeachment off the line I think the actual direction being pursued is to let the investigations move forward. The evidence seems to justify doing so.
Do you disagree? Are you of the opinion the only right action is to shut down the Mueller investigation?
Yes, it's what I'm legit arguing. In part. Implications of the claims? I fully understand the implications, I simply don't believe the claims. Show me the evidence.
Right action? I don't know. This is a hard question to answer because I'm not in possession of all the facts. None of us knows what Trump does or doesn't know. It goes without saying that he has access to a unique set of information. I think the special investigation should be brought to an end, yes. Clearly he has reasons for not doing that, because he hasn't. I suspect those reasons have to do with midterm elections. Time will tell what he does. I figure this is the home stretch. Meeting with Putin, heading into midterms, this is when the DS/New Testament crowd attacks. Whatever they've got, they're going to let it fly. After the midterms it's game over one way or another. It has to be. If special investigation doesn't end itself by November, Trump will end it by order shortly after the midterms. And then I think a whole bunch of people are getting fired, starting with Sessions and Rosenstein. Daniel Coats should be fired immediately. Like, today. Before AF1 even lands at next destination.
