??? So you're now denying that you were repeating Dershowitz's pathetic apologetics?
Handing it over to the FBI without checking the source seems reckless.
It wouldn’t surprise me that McCain who hated Trump and Graham who had 0 alliegence to the President and wouldn’t mind Pence running the show. As of now Graham needs the President but I bet $1000 he’d ditch him if it was politically convenient.

Graham played golf with Trump the same week Trump trashed his recently dead "best friend"...I'm glad you would not be surprised if he wasn't loyal otherwise.

‘WEEKS, NOT MONTHS’ BEFORE DOJ RELEASES PUBLIC VERSION OF MUELLER REPORT
The Justice Department plans to take “weeks” and “not months” to provide a version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report to Congress and the public.
A Justice Department official told news outlets Tuesday that there are no plans to send the report to the White House before Congress.
The final report will likely be scrubbed of any grand jury information or anything involving classified information.
Congressional Democrats have ramped up pressure on Attorney General William Barr to provide Congress the full Mueller report, which was summarized in a letter to lawmakers on Sunday. Many Republicans have also said they would like the report to be provided to Congress and made public.

Meh. I think you're obviously lying here. If you want to seriously address how finding out that you (and Dershowitz) were wrong changed your thinking, I'm all ears.

I'm not aware that I was wrong about anything regarding the Russiagate conspiracy theory. Professor Dershowitz has been right on the money from the beginning. If you'd like to provide a link to a specific post in which I was wrong, I'm all ears.

Again, you know that you and he were insisting that this was some kind of trap and infinitely expandable, etc. If you're going to dishonorably deny it, that's your own reputation and soul that you're hurting.

That's so vague that it's impossible to respond to. I insisted that the Mueller probe was some kind of trap?
Certainly I did post that Rosenstein's order appointing Mueller was too broad and was potentially infinitely expandable. I stand by that. I am a consistent critic of prosecutorial overreach (see, for example, my criticism of OCCA in the admission scandal thread).

You of course know exactly what I'm talking about. You just lack the honor to own up to it and to admit your mistakes.

Yesterday's debate between David Cay Johnston and Glenn Greenwald on Democracy, Now!
Pretty brutal. Johnston tries to distance himself from Russiagate, then Greenwald points out that he referred to Donald Trump as a "Russian agent" just last week. Then Johnston says, no, I think I called him a "Russian asset", and I stand by that as Trump was a 'useful idiot' for the Russians.
Then the host confirms with the producers that actually, Johnston did refer to Trump as a "Kremlin agent" last week.

The Mueller report is in. Get ready for the conspiracy theories.
By Travis View
Being wrong stings. And, as we may soon discover in the wake of the conclusion of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation, people often cope with that sting by insisting that they’re still right. It’s a popular path, but it’s also one that often leads down into the rabbit hole of reality-avoidant conspiracy theory.
...
For a certain group of commentators who built massive online audiences by making bold, unsubstantiated claims about the Mueller investigation, that’s direct disconfirmation of some dearly held speculation about the investigation’s ultimate findings and consequences. They may choose to react to the news in weird ways. There is already evidence that the frustrating experience of dashed expectations will lead at least some of them down a strange road, one that might find them sharing more with the adherents of conspiracy theories such as QAnon than with the prosecutor whose rigor and discipline they supposedly admired.
For example, Barr’s summary of the Mueller report contradicts many claims made by Claude Taylor, a former low-level staff member in the Clinton White House who has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter by tweeting shocking claims about Trump, which Taylor attributes to unknown “sources.” One of his January 2018 tweets stated: “Source. Mueller has Trump dead to rights on obstruction of justice.” Recent news also disconfirms the already legally confused 2017 claim from Seth Abramson, author of the book “Proof of Collusion,” that “Bob Mueller will hunt both Trump and Pence to the ends of the Earth to secure impeachment and conviction.” Barr’s summary of the Mueller report also contradicts several claims made by Louise Mensch, who gained notoriety for making several kooky claims about Trump and the Mueller investigation. Earlier this month, Mensch claimed on Twitter that “Mueller will demonstrate collusion, and that will be the least of it.”
They were all wrong. And being wrong marks a crucial moment for these personalities and the left-leaning people who follow their dramatic claims about Mueller, gleaned from unnamed inside sources and their own supposed expertise. Will they adjust their claims to better accord with the reported facts, or will they detach even further from reality?

TBH, Lindsey Graham seems like a self serving line rider. Guy licks his finger and puts it in the air, and makes some decisions(but mostly statements) in accordance to how the wind is blowing.
