All one has to do is a simple Google search and you will find the official statements from FBI career officials, the OPR, and others on these matter. I've cited some of it above.
I think TDS rots the brain.
The right wing isn't looking for middle ground.
They are looking for an advantage, no matter.
I'll post the right wing m.o. until the day I die.
Abstract
The conservative assault on academic political correctness must be viewed in the context of a continuous series of political and cultural offensives, engineered by the Republican Party and its allies since the 1970s. The Republican strategy of attack and polarization has persisted up to the present, indeed reaching new levels of shrillness since the elections of 2010, as in recent assaults against public employees and their unions, including in education, as well as against government agencies in general, targeted for demolition in the ginned-up panic over deficits and debt ceilings, all in the wake of the recession triggered by the Wall Street crash of 2008. Among the strategies of this offensive has been to scapegoat alleged misdeeds on the academic and cultural left as a distraction from far more pernicious activities on the right and to distort the proportions between the two. The mainstream media, with their present tense fixation, have been remiss in not considering these recent Republican campaigns as reiterations of an historical pattern, so this should be another responsibility of scholars and teachers. The next four chapters develop my earlier references to the deliberate mimicry by conservatives of every line of argument and piece of evidence supporting the left, toward the ultimate aim of obfuscating any possibility of the truth being ascertained, through what I term “right-wing deconstruction.”

Why am I not surprised that they cheer for Russia to defeat Ukraine.

Who does Putin favor, the left or right wing?
We'll continue, if need be?

Please do not produce links to self-proclaimed Marxists going forward. Your help in cleaning up the board in this regard would be appreciated.

No idea. Who does he "favor" and what does that mean?I'll make it easy for you.

Stalin was a marxist and you just linked one that proudly calls himself a marxist, too. What does that say about you?

Why don't you answer your own question ? (with a link to an unbiased source)
And while you're doing that, be sure to include the years when Putin was NOT ATTACKING UKRAINE, and which years he was.
The truth stings, doesn't it?
I didn't think so.
Don't fool yourself. Stalin was a dictator that used American forces that led to their taking Berlin.
It was about territorial gain at the end of the war in which America gave way.
History shouldn't be rewritten.

Yes, for certain allegations Mueller's team said they had no evidence. For other allegations, they pointedly chose not to do so.The key fact is this: Mueller – contrary to weeks of false media claims – did not merely issue a narrow, cramped, legalistic finding that there was insufficient evidence to indict Trump associates for conspiring with Russia and then proving their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. That would have been devastating enough to those who spent the last two years or more misleading people to believe that conspiracy convictions of Trump’s closest aides and family members were inevitable. But his mandate was much broader than that: to state what did or did not happen.
That’s precisely what he did: Mueller, in addition to concluding that evidence was insufficient to charge any American with crimes relating to Russian election interference, also stated emphatically in numerous instances that there was no evidence
Robert Mueller Did Not Merely Reject the Trump-Russia Conspiracy Theories. He Obliterated Them.
Certain facts will never go away no matter how much media elites deny them. That Mueller charged no Americans with election conspiracy crimes is most fatal.theintercept.com
Making stuff up doesn't help you case. It makes you look more pathetic. Collusion was a hoax.
Nice cop out. These were private citizens. They were not working with the Russians and had no authority with law enforcement or intelligence agencies to work to stop anything. That's no different than blaming you for it. Your post makes no sense.
Who and what did I link to that says I'm a marxist?
You'll need to be specific with your allegations.

The evidence cleared Clinton. Comey went out of his way to smear her with innuendo nevertheless. In fact, the IG determined that he was unduly biased against Clinton in a major way, as did the assistant attorney general tasked with coming up with a pretext for his firing, that pretext being that he was so unfair to Clinton in the way he smeared her.Comey was fired because he refused to publicly clear Trump of Russian collusion despite knowing it had no basis. Comey had freely spoken out publicly to try to clear Hillary Clinton multiple times. The FBI Director works at the pleasure of the President. If expecting him to handle politically charged investigations equally is "loyalty" then call it what you want. He tried to clear Clinton multiple times by speaking out. He utterly refused to speak out to clear Trump even when he knew it was a hoax. That's fireable.
Second, Comey (Obama's FBI Director) was one of the worst FBI Directors in modern times which Trump also cited. The IG excoriated Comey's antics:
He did NOT know that "Russian collusion ... had no basis." Quite the opposite, as we know. There were dozens of instances of collusion detailed in the Mueller report, and at least some of them were known to Comey when Trump pressured him to LIE and say otherwise.
Comey himself said that was the case, and memorialized it weeks before Trump fired him.
LMAO. Obstruction is a slam dunk. But he has held off on charging it for strategic reasons so he can build a much stronger case for much more serious crimes.
He went to court and got an official judgment that the firing was illegal and politically motivated.McCabe was fired on recommendation of career officials at the FBI's Office of Professional Responsibility(OPR). The Office that handles FBI disciplinary issues and conduct. That is easily verified by a Google search:
The only reason he wasn't fired earlier is because the report's findings that implicated McCabe in corrupt conduct dropped just days before McCabe was going to retire. This is the problem with winger thinking. They have no regard to the facts. Everything is a conspiracy in your brains. OPR issues recommendation for firing based upon corrupt conduct revealed in IG report and you somehow blame it on Trump. That's called TDS.
And, no, McCabe was not "reinstated" to the FBI. He has been banned from every working with the FBI again. . He had his pension returned for 22 years of service. They accomplished that by fudging his termination date by 72 hours. And that was done by Biden's Attorney General.....not a recommendation from OPR.
Strzok's actions that got him fired=not looking the other way from Trump's criminal conduct. Which led him and anyone else willing to hold Trump accountable to be purged.

Those of us who saw Trump solicit illegal aid from the Russians during the debate disagree.
Have you ever read anything that I wrote?
Trump said they did. Mueller said they did. The Senate intelligence committee said they did.
Who is your source saying they didn't?

These things tend to run in cycles, and whomever appears to be winning now will be losing later.
No worries, it's all good.

Why would anyone think Hillary's emails were on the DNC server?

So you are going with the "we don't spy because there's no proof" defense. The whole idea behind spying is to not get caught.
Spying is not interfering in an election. Hacking systems is what we were talking about. You attempted to justify Russian efforts to interfere in our election by saying the US does it too. Gee....could you be making an accusation without any evidence to show?

Her emails were more securely protected since she followed her predecessor’s advice for security reasons and used a private server. But they tried to get hers at the same time they hacked the DNC.
