Hey, an FBI guy sent texts that were critical of Trump to his lover. Feds aren't allowed a personal political opinion on anything, they certainly shouldn't be expressing their private views in private, and they absolutely definitely shouldn't be allowed to vote either, A voting Fed is a biased Fed. A Fed who is anything but an unthinking automaton is a danger to his colleagues, his country, and his President - and that's unforgivable. Disband the FBI now - only a purifying purge can right this litany of terrible wrongs!

Hey, special prosecutor Mueller thought enough of the issue to fire the guy, and not only fire the guy, but cover up or stall the release of the information as to why he was fired, even when subject to subpoenas and congressional inquiry. So, while Feds are allowed personal political opinions, this was a situation where Mueller himself was concerned enough to terminate the person due to bias.

Purge them. Purge them all in the cleansing fire of alt-righteousness.

Mueller is cleansing people due to alt-righteousness? Recall, at the time this joker was fired, the only people who knew about the issue was Mueller and his team. So, nobody was calling for anyone's head or anything.

However, please, let's not pretend that the left is less prone to wanting to purge their opponents. The left are kings of purging folks with unpalatable opinions.

No, Mueller has not subpoenaed Trump’s bank records. Lol. Yet another loaf of bull shit on the steaming pile that is “Russiagate.”

You have counted Mueller as a member of "the Left". :roll: Next thing you'll claim the Democrats belong to "the Left". Get real.

There are left democrats and right democrats and moderate ones. By “left” I wasn’t referring to the hard left like commies and Marxist assholes. Just the left side of the spectrum. This whole dum argument about there not being a “left” in the US is horseshit. Most western countries are largely Center and moderate. If they had huge hard left elements they’d be shit shows and failed economies with massive government oppression like most countries hamstrung by the hard left. Similarly, countries with large hard-right elements are oppressive and tyrannical.

While the FBI agent was handling the Clinton email investigation. The same FBI agent dismissed from Mueller probe changed Comey's description of Clinton to 'extremely careless'.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/04/politics/ ... index.html
The shift from "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless," which may appear pedestrian at first glance, reflected a decision by the FBI that could have had potentially significant legal implications, as the federal law governing the mishandling of classified material establishes criminal penalties for "gross negligence."
Some might call that change 'obstruction of justice', maybe a jury will get to decide? :zilla:
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

How do you know the change wasn't warranted?

Your last sentence is spot-on. As for the rest, I go with rEv's comment. The left side of the spectrum is almost totally empty, particularly so in the USA. Your politicians may be described as left or right of each other, but none belong to "the Left". The closest any of yours get to not belonging to the Right is Bernie Sanders. He'd fit in reasonably well with European moderates, of which there are not many either. The only politician of note I can think of just now who can be regarded as genuinely a member of "the Left" is the leader of the UK's Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn. He has plans to nationalise mail, rail and energy firms. And no, though Corbyn is "Left", he is not a Marxist arsehole.

It’s a good thing the UK has a dearth if Marxist assholes like Corbin, https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... one-labour , https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.expres ... t-hero/amp and https://www.google.com/amp/mobile.reute ... EZ20150912

As I said, countries rife with guys like that are shitholes, oppressive and the poor are way worse off. If Corbin gets his way, the brits will suffer. Not intentionally, mind you. Most folks like that think they mean well.
