The media, the deep state, the FBI, the CIA, the Democrats have all exposed themselves for what they truly are.

comey has sex with prepubescent children and goats.

There is not a single shred of evidence to prove that statement untrue.

Therefore it is true.

In formal mathematics, you can’t disprove an assumption or a postulate, can you?

Trump’s guilty! QED

“As Jim Comey has said, I think very famously, these were salacious and unverified allegations,” Brennan responded. “Just because they were unverified does not mean they were not true.”

Kind of like the anonymous sources that state Comey and Brennan are pedophiles. They need to prove they are false, along with the suppressed Feinstein dossier that claims she urinated on a hotel bed at the request of Putin himself.

“Seriousness of the charge” is all the “evidence” any lynch mob throughout history has ever required.

They all went to the Dan Rather school of journalism.

That would be an EXCELLENT review of his book on Amazon. Give it five stars, but say the one big negative is that he hasn’t addressed the persistent rumors about those “activities.”

Fact: If the government had anything on Trump, it would have come out by now.

All discussion to the contrary is manipulation. How do I know this for a fact?

NSA has been collecting data on ALL Americans since October 2001. If they wanted to know exactly what Trump and his associates were doing before the election, it’s simply a line of code to pull a timeline’s details via Bill Binney’s ThinThread program...the same program which NSA weaponized against him (literally) after he quit NSA.

They have nothing. There is nothing.

Nothing except an opportunity to make more useful idiots...

Innocence cannot be proven, only guilt. Our legal system is predicated on that premise, that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty.

my thought exactly. It does, however, prove that liberals are illogical.

"Just because they were unverified does not mean they were not true."

Legally, that's exactly what it means at the moment. They're false until proven true. Well, in the olden days that's what it meant.

Brennan responded. "Just because they were unverified does not mean they were not true."

I heard that Brennan is a necrophiliac that has a flock of bald eagles that he cooks for his weekly Sunday dinners. I heard that, but it's never been verified. I'll add that it's not been verified but that doesn't mean it isn't true.

By the way, it’s one thing for dem hacks to engage in this sort of thing but for the guy who ran the our the Central Intelligence Agency to publicly state his stance that absence of evidence is no reason to discount a rumor makes one quite happy that the communist muslim is out of there finally.

I think the goats were of legal age.

I dunno, remember how doggedly they pursued all thos rumors about Obama's birth and his activities at Columbia and how he got into Harvard, and who his early supporters were?

Oops, they dismissed all of that as unworthy of comment right from jump. Hmmm. Yeah, double standard exposed.

At least until 2024.
When President Trump finishes his second term.

Anyone noticed how food prices are going down?

"Even though there is no evidence," he said, "the seriousness of the charge is what matters."

So, would this not be like the expression “it is a logical impossibility to prove a negative”? I never quite understood the proper application of this.

Someone falsely accuses you of brandishing a weapon and making threats. There are no witnesses, so how does one prove it did not happen? Proving a negative, or disproving a negative?
