Oh I know what you were doing. I was just using your partisanship to pitch a better idea. That's all.

Do you believe anything you don't see with your own eyes?
The point in all of this is that we need to stop playing these political games and trying to fool ourselves in to believing Trump, his team, Obama...whomever, is completely innocent or guilty based on the information we are receiving. There are big gaps in the information and context that we are not able to get our hands on. We should take a much more logical approach and wait till we have that info. Too many people are trying to defend their "side" and are not approaching this reasonably.
Lol the level of hypocrisy is astonishing with liberals
are you not the same people who have been fighting trump supporters on this very same issue about laying all the cards on the table with regards to the russian collusion case where trump supporters want to see the evidence by the fbi! then you cry victim when its done back to you?
The sad truth is there is way more evidence of illegal activity in this spying on trump then there is with the collusion case.
Obama allowing intelligence communities to share information, the unmasking of flynn, obamas request for fisa's, the information leaked to the media, comey not answering the question about obama being briefed on information that was obtained by the IC in relation to the case, the fact that nunes can't be open with the investigation and that the evidence was presented directly to the president and the white house lawyers.

Oh my how things change in just a few short months.
I agree with this post.

So before the CIA leaks you didn't believe they could use nearly every device in your house to spy on you?

But that's not the what introvert really believes. The point introvert is really making is that we shouldn't trust Nunes, because it flies in the face of the left wing narrative and looks really incriminating for the obama administration. "Afterall, Nunes could be committing political suicide, who knows!"
The platitude about fooling ourselves into believing one side is guilty/innocent and acting reasonably is just a cover for that admission. And while it's generally a true statement, the motives behind it are less than admirable.
Not at all. You said you don't believe things you haven't seen.
In this case (Nunes) we're talking about classified information. You asked if I believed everything I heard and I asked if you only believed things you've seen with your own eyes to illustrate the absurdity of the question.
You tried to recover by saying that generally you don't trust anything you didn't see yourself. I blew that out of the water by bringing up another classified information case, which you (rightfully) believed before seeing with your own eyes.
I'm so tired of these stupid games. Why in the world is it so hard to admit that what we have now seems pretty bad for the previous administration and would lend more credence to the Trump's claims. That's the reality of the situation.

So now you're a mind reader?
Nope, I just analyzed the language you used and balanced that against the other things you've said in this and other threads.
