    You’re quite enthusiastic there with the idea that anyone would actually investigate any of that instead of just saying “yeap, treason!”

      Let’s run a little scenario: a reporter’s post is doctored or posted completely outside of their control. Their boss calls them in:
      “Did you post this?”
      “No”
      “Yeap, treason!”

      Please don’t confuse enthusiasm with critical thinking.

        Ah yes, because this administration is SO good about providing people with due process.

          What I’m trying to convey, in the face of your obnoxious sarcasm, is that while the administration would of course interfere in what should be an objective investigation, politicians and reporters have a wealth of powerful advocates in their support networks. The administration can only control the message/investigation of the SS. They cannot control the message or investigations of the victim’s support network, however hard they may try.

            Amazingly enough, there are more people in the world than the rich, famous, or powerful. Most people do not have that “wealth of powerful advocates.”

            Those people also deserve the rights you’re so callously ignoring.

              Did you even read the question? I’m answering in the context of the question. The question didn’t ask about “most people”.

              Don’t come into one discussion in your shining armour and cry foul about a completely different discussion.

              And, for fuck sake, stop being so fucking obnoxious. I’m a stout fucking socialist. It just so happens I can also critically think, which is a clear competency you lack.

                The point is still that most people, even most journalists or politicians, don’t have those protections. Fact is, a lot of top politicians and journalists don’t have those protections which is literally why we have politicians getting arrested for protesting against the El Salvador prisons and then going after comey.

                And leave personal attacks out of it.

                  No, fuck you. If you want the left to win, stop using your emotions and start using your fucking brain. We’ll never kill fascism with people like you white-knighting around internet forums with out-of-context comments that do nothing but inflate your ego.

                  You’re never going to convince people on the internet with whatever this obnoxious discourse is. Get out of the house, get involved in some grassroots movements and turn your emotions into tangible results.
