>the President and many Republicans routinely break laws in obvious manners Can you link to some citations regarding this? If one of our political parties and our elected officials are brazenly breaking the law I'd sure like to know about it!

The redacted Mueller report does a good job getting started on a well-researched list of crimes committed by the President and various fellow Republicans. You can find it all over the web. If it is too long and dense and you wish a summary, many reputable lawyers and journalists have written down their understanding of the laws broken, the context and their intents. There are many more than listed in the Mueller report but it's a good start. It is hard to read your comment in good faith however, as I assume it is likely you already knew about this detailed list of the President's crimes if you truly "sure would like to know about it!" Edit: By popular demand, here is a direct link to justice.gov for the redacted Mueller report. https://www.justice.gov/storage/report.pdf https://www.justice.gov/storage/report.pdf

  You shod drop the second paragraph. It doesn't help your case.

    I’m not sure a case is being made at all. A massive investigation turned up no criminal conspiracy and failed to substantiate a charge of obstruction. I’m really not sure what ‘spaceheretostay’ is on about.

      > A massive investigation turned up no criminal conspiracy That is definitely not true. > failed to substantiate a charge of obstruction This is also not true. The events are ongoing, the investigation has not 'failed' in any way. > I’m really not sure what ‘spaceheretostay’ is on about. I think I've made my points clearly. Abuses of power that are clearly illegal are common at the top of our government, and it happens because they openly commit crimes that they know will take years to investigate, during which times the goals of their illegal activities can be met. That is a direct example that directly relates to the parent comment in this thread. I've tried to be as clear as possible.

      Yeah he sounds very ideologically motivated and when pressed to backup his claims of crimes being committed completely failed to back them up. Seems par for the course for people to sling all sorts of accusations without backing them up these days, which is unfortunate because it's largely just toxic.

    I think that choosing to ignore seemingly-willful-ignorance of major national and global issues is not helpful to anyone. I replied in clear words with facts about where to find more information. I also see it important to note that the information is extremely widely publicized in the last few weeks especially.

  So no citations or facts to back up your statement then, asides from hearsay. Got it.
