Who the hell said that? Answer. Nobody. Nobody said a thing about “proven.” You just made that up Doc. You need to be more honest. Investigations should be based on an alleged crime. People should not be investigated randomly. Unless there is evidence that they participated in the alleged crime, they should not be investigated. Are you misrepresenting this opinion on purpose?
Many types of criminal investigations are launched based on suspicion, not on a certain crime. Insider trading, embezzlement, fraud, etc. The investigation into Bernie Madoff, for one recent example. Basically your “point” is a ridiculous false premise, repeated by the right-wing talkers.
Your point was nothing has been identified. It most certainly has. The problem is you’ve been watching and hearing fake news. Pay attention to people reporting real news instead of conspiracy theories and you’ll know what’s really going on.
How funny is it that the very people who have preached forever that they don’t trust politicians are now the ones who keep screaming that there has to be an indictment before an investigation can start.
George Papadopolos and Carter Page have both spoken publicly about being approached by players before the FISA warrant was issued, agents injecting unsolicited references to Russia and hacking into conversations with him, and those conversations being initiated by those same agents. They were trying to get these two to mention Russia and hacking to others, and thereby justify surveilling them and incidental associates of them, manely the Trump campaign.
Nope. Usually you need a little more than suspicion. You need some evidence that a crime was committed. You cannot make an assumption that a crime was committed. And it would also help to actually identify the crime that is being investigated. Neither has happened.
An investigation is used to discover the facts of an allegation. How could you possibly miss that? Its the whole point in the act itself. It would seem you like to put the chicken before the egg.
I believe the attempts at business in Russia and the payoff to Stormy (more specifically, the money laundering to Cohen through the Trump Organization) are the beginning of what hangs him. There will be a multitude of other things. These are just the two that get the camel’s nose under the tent of the investigation…
