This week, it was revealed that Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian lawyer who promised damaging information on Hillary Clinton. Republicans are calling the 2016 meet-up “opposition research.” Democrat Senator Tim Kaine is calling it “treason.”
But if Kaine believes that accepting information from Russian sources is treason, why isn’t he calling for an investigation into BuzzFeed and CNN? After all, both media networks published information from the debunked Russian dossier.
Kaine seems to believe Russian-sourced information against Clinton is illegal, but fake Russian information against Trump is totally fine.
That Kaine is being a hypocrite shouldn’t be surprising, though. While he was sold as a middle-of-the-road moderate during the campaign, his post-election meltdown shows he is no different than the rest of the left. He wants to dismantle the Trump White House and he doesn’t care how he does it.
See why he thinks Donald Trump Jr.’s actions are treasonous on the next page:
Eric L Runion That Trump derangement syndrome has really messed you up hasn’t it. L.O.L!!!
Lucky for demonrats that most of their constitutes are morons. For you morons constitutes are you.
No
In 1993, when Bill Clinton raised taxes on the wealthiest 1.5%, Republicans predicted a recession, increased unemployment and a growing budget deficit.
They weren’t just wrong; the exact opposite of everything they predicted happened. The country experienced the seven best years of economic growth in history:
Twenty-two million new jobs
Unemployment below 4%
The poverty rate dropped for 7 straight years
The budget deficit was eliminated
A growing budget surplus which economists projected would pay off our national debt in 20 years.
Eric just loving the Clinton$#%&!@*Network. Drinking that Russian Kool-Aid
And Eric let’s be clear Hillary did do this so did Bill Clinton and so did President Obama didn’t see him hanging from a tree saw Clinton get protected by Lynch and Comey, and that’s after she sold 5% of our uranium to the Russians. Bill Clinton received $500,000 from the Russian government to give a speech just before Hillary signed over uranium. Liberal f****** idiots
I’m going to love watching you guys support Dwayne Johnson in 2020 do you smell what’s cooking that’s the rock getting his$#%&!@*Smoked by President Trump’s reelection
F**k-en$#%&!@*HOLE.
Like you know what those are foxed up fool
Why I don’t Vote Republican
During a civil political conversation
“I made a comment recently where I claimed that Republican administrations had been much more criminally corrupt over the last 50 plus years than the Democrats. I was challenged (dared actually) to prove it. So I did a bit of research and when I say a bit I mean it didn’t take long and there is no comparison.
When comparing criminal indictments of those serving in the executive branch of presidential administrations, it’s so lopsided as to be ridiculous. Yet all I ever hear about is how supposedly “corrupt” the Democrats are. So why don’t we break it down by president and the numbers?
Obama (D) – 8 yrs in office. Zero criminal indictments, zero convictions and zero prison sentences. So the next time somebody describes the Obama administration as “scandal free” they aren’t speaking wishfully, they’re simply telling the truth.
Bush, George W. (R) – 8 yrs in office. 16 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 9 prison sentences.
Clinton (D) – 8 yrs in office. 2 criminal indictments. One conviction. One prison sentence. That’s right nearly 8 yrs of investigations. Tens of millions spent and 30 yrs of claiming them the most corrupt ever and there was exactly one person convicted of a crime.
Bush, George H. W. (R) – 4 yrs in office. One indictment. One conviction. One prison sentence.
Reagan (R) – 8 yrs in office. 26 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 8 prison sentences.
Carter (D) – 4 yrs in office. One indictment. Zero convictions and zero prison sentences.
Ford (R) – 4 yrs in office. One indictment and one conviction. One prison sentence.
Nixon (R) – 6 yrs in office. 76 criminal indictments. 55 convictions. 15 prison sentences.
Johnson (D) – 5 yrs in office. Zero indictments. Zero convictions. Zero prison sentences.
So, let’s see where that leaves us. In the last 53 years, Democrats have been in the Oval Office for 25 of those years, while Republicans held it for 28. In their 25 yrs in office Democrats had a total of three executive branch officials indicted with one conviction and one prison sentence. That’s one whole executive branch official convicted of a crime in two and a half decades of Democrat leadership.
In the 28 yrs that Republicans have held office over the last 53 yrs they have had a total of (a drum roll would be more than appropriate), 120 criminal indictments of executive branch officials. 89 criminal convictions and 34 prison sentences handed down. That’s more prison sentences than years in office since 1968 for Republicans. If you want to count articles of impeachment as indictments (they aren’t really but we can count them as an action), both sides get one more. However, Clinton wasn’t found guilty while Nixon resigned and was pardoned by Ford (and a pardon carries with it a legal admission of guilt on the part of the pardoned). So those only serve to make Republicans look even worse.
With everything going on with Trump and his people right now, it’s a safe bet Republicans are gonna be padding their numbers a bit real soon.
So let’s just go over the numbers one more time, shall we? 120 indictments for Republicans. 89 convictions, and 34 prison sentences. Those aren’t “feelings” or “alternate facts.” Those are simply the stats by the numbers. Republicans are, and have been for my entire lifetime, the most criminally corrupt party to hold the office of the presidency.
So those are the actual numbers.
