OK, sometimes I don't read every post in thread when I try to catch up. Posting it twice won't hurt.Scroll back. I already did this so people could decide themselves.

What presidents or other officials have done is less relevant than what the current administration is doing. They are not likely to be prosecuted or reprimanded beyond what gets said on the internet. We already know that politicians are hypocrites. If the goal is to compare and contrast administrations, that is a fair proposition if you do so in a manner that compares apples to apples. As I have said somewhere in OT, you cannot compare Obama and Trump in first year employment and job creation, because they did not start at similar situations. But you could show an Obama 8 year trend and then slowly build a Trump trend that over time could be compared. Cherry picking specific items to demonstrate something and call it a truth about Obama or Trump or Bush is disingenuous. A perfect example from today is Trump's statement that we should stop allowing people from Sh**hole countries into the US and get more from Norway. is that just an isolated happenstance, or part of some ongoing thread within Trump's way of thinking about other countries?And the number and complexity of your questions...really? Do you want a complete answer t
o all of those? Why?
Anyway, the questions.
- From what you know, do you think that Mueller was correct in his indictments so far?
- Do you think that Trump's campaign staff were hiding (by not revealing) their assorted contacts with various Russians during 2016 and early 2017?
- Do you think Mike Flynn had the best interests of the US in mind while he was working for either the Trump Campaign or the people of the US?
- Do you think that President Trump's personally owned businesses should profit from his presidency during that presidency?
- What should happen to Trump and his family if Mueller finds evidence of money laundering in his past business practices?
- Should Trump release his tax returns?
- Do you think it is OK for Jared Kushner to have tried to set up a secret, hidden from the US government, back channel of communications with Russians?
- Should any government official be allowed such a communications channel?
Thanks.
