Here, mister informed, eat this: Clapper admits informant identity is exposed
If there was no informant, how was his identity exposed? Goodness, you guys are dense sometimes.
Speculation is allowed, like it or not.
In fact, your original reply where you said it was not going to elipse watergate, was just speculation on your part.
You just don't like that the fact pattern is leaning towards obama having been directly involved and him going down as the worst president in the history of the US.
So instead of accepting the current leaning of the facts, you are holding out hope that some new fact will come to light to save your view point. That's why you're staunchly 'waiting for the facts' not out of some higher loyalty to facts.
Here's the thing, you and I can speculate on what we know and change our opinions when new facts come to light. We aren't a jury, all of the facts aren't there waiting to be presented the next day in court. So while we wait for them to come available over months and years, we are all going to speculate, including you. Drop the act and accept what we know and what we don't.
Of course. I never said otherwise. But let's not confuse speculation with the absolute statements people are making.
There is no reason to even suggest it was going to "elipse" watergate. Speculation based on evidence is one thing. Making absurd comparisons out of stupidity is another.
What pattern? The pattern I see does not show Obama being the worst president in history. The pattern I see is idiots fabricating bull# and expecting people to buy it.
See. Fabricating bull#. You just say things without any facts to support it.
That would also be hypocrisy.
People such as myself are not going to buy your line of bull#, especially when you try to sell that line as "speculation".
You do not get to pass-off your idiocy and delusions as speculation.
• Left corporate law after the birth of her only child, Laura, to take a job in 1987 in the office of Chicago's first black mayor, Harold Washington. Unlike many of her colleagues, she chose to stay on when Richard Daley took over after Washington's sudden death.
• As Daley's chief of staff, she hired Michelle Obama (then Michelle Robinson) to work as assistant to the mayor — but not before re-assuring Michelle's fiancé, Barack Obama, that the job was right for her.
On November 25, 1987, at 11:00 am, Chicago Fire Department paramedics were called to City Hall. Washington's press secretary, Alton Miller, had been discussing school board issues with the mayor when Washington suddenly slumped over on his desk, falling unconscious. After failing to revive Washington in his office, paramedics rushed him to Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Further attempts to revive him failed, and Washington was pronounced dead at 1:36 pm
...
Immediately after Washington's death, rumors about how Washington died began to surface. On January 6, 1988, Dr. Antonio Senat, Washington's personal physician, denied "unfounded speculations" that Washington had coc aine in his system at the time of his death, or that foul play was involved. Cook County Medical Examiner Robert J. Stein performed an autopsy on Washington and concluded that Washington had died of a heart attack. Washington had weighed 284 pounds (129 kg), and suffered from hypertension, high cholesterol levels, and an enlarged heart.[51] On June 20, 1988, Alton Miller again indicated that drug reports on Washington had come back negative, and that Washington had not been poisoned prior to his death. Dr. Stein stated that the only drug in Washington's system had been lidocaine, which is used to stabilize the heart after a heart attack takes place. The drug was given to Washington either by paramedics or by doctors at Northwestern Memorial Hospital.[52] Bernard Epton, Washington's opponent in the 1983 general election, died 18 days later, on December 13, 1987.
President Obama’s trusted senior advisor, Valerie Jarrett, was a key player in the effort to cover up that Attorney General Eric Holder lied to Congress about the Fast and Furious scandal, according to public records obtained by Judicial Watch.
The information is part of a Department of Justice (DOJ) “Vaughn index” detailing records about the gun-running operation known as Fast and Furious. JW had to sue the agency for the records after the Obama administration failed to provide them under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). A federal court ordered the DOJ to provide the records over the agency’s objections. Yesterday JW reported on the broad information in the records, including that Obama asserted executive privilege for Holder’s wife as part of the administration’s efforts to cover up the scandal.
You said an honest person would have premised their post with the fact that it was speculation, yet you didn't do that when you responded that it would not eclipse watergate.
Funny thing is, the OP inferred that it was speculation as they posed the rhetorical question: "It looks like Obama's Spygate scandal really is going to dwarf Watergate, doesn't it?" So the only dishonesty here, by your own standard, is yours.
Using the FBI to spy on an opposition party throughout their campaign is much larger than a break in to steal a few documents for opposition research.
And as of now, we know that there was a spy in the campaign placed by the FBI.
We're learning about the coverup now.
The only speculation is that there is proof they were spying on the trump campaign. Once that is there, yes, it will be much bigger. That's the fact pattern and that's bigger than watergate.
See above for the pattern.
So you deny that they placed a spy in the trump campaign? Or do you deny that they wire tapped campaign officials? Or do you deny that they unmasked campaign officails? Or do you deny that they tried to cover it up?
No, my entire post is about speculating based on facts. I have laid out the facts above.
No one is trying to get you to buy anything. If you can't see reality and make logical leaps (called speculation) that's on you. The rest of us can see where this is headed.
It is you that came into this thread and started demanding we believe your version of reality, the one where we just have to wait and see and believe in the innocence of the obama admin until proven in a court of law that it wasn't as pure as the wind driven snow (that's hyperbole, in case you missed it).
It's only delusions if it's not based on facts. It is based on facts, ergo, not delusion. Now your insisting we not see the forest for the trees, that's delusion.

Why are people so willing to take a bullet for these two?
I always said our government had been infiltrated with traitors, still not sure what their real agenda is though.
I wish they would end up in jail, but some flunky will take the fall.
I don't know if it is possible to get our country back, but I do believe Trump was chosen.

Just saying that threads are often started before "all the facts" are known.
Sure. Honest OP's would not present the information in the manner you have and would have stated it was pure speculation. You have not. You are making statements you cannot prove and, in fact, may be incorrect.
You're free to put mine on your personal "ignore this poster!" list, cause I'm not stopping. Just getting started, in fact.
I know. Just like many others, you lack the integrity to be honest and will continue to push propaganda as truth.
It's sad that you choose to be a sheep.

You do realize that you just called the OP dishonest, of low integrity and a sheep. Do you really think that such name calling makes your point or looks mature? Shame!

When Introvert, and a few others, insults me, its a GOOD thing!
I was not speculating. There is no reason to believe this is even coming close to Watergate proportions.
The OP said much more than that. DO not be dishonest.
Can you post proof of that? I've not seen anyone state there was evidence they were there to spy on the opposition party.
Oh. So the proof itself is only speculation?
Yes. The pattern is obvious. You are contradicting yourself and might be full of #.
I do not deny that. What I cannot say for certain is that they were there to spy on the campaign itself or the opposition party. You have said that.
I wait for your proof.
That's a logical fallacy. You do not make a very good case when you have to resort to such obvious fallacies.
You've admitted you do not have the facts needed to come to any conclusion. And you wonder why I think you guys are delusional?
