Anyone announcing "I swear to God" does not move the needle much in either direction for me. Didnt answer my question. As someone who considers themselves Christian how often do you use the phrase "swear to god" when you are making a joke?

That is why I find it odd someone would use the phase in a joke about a potentially traitorous act. Not really a joking matter. And not a phrase people usually use when making a joke.

As I said back when I didn't answer the question: Anyone simply using that phrase doesn't mean much to me. So I wouldn't think there's a chance anyone is being less jovial when they use it. Were they joking? I would say yes, but IMO they were doing it more out of spite than solidarity. Believe it or not, there's a very good chance that there were folks in that room that wanted Trump to be President less than you.

Or would he do it because the republicant party is broke as shit?

You can argue the wisdom, but not really the legality. I don't argue the legality. Does anyone? Have I missed a post? Trump is certainly allowed to share the most sensitive and restricted intel with an adversary, against the wishes of an ally who was the source. Hillary did not intentionally share intel with anyone. You cannot argue the legality of that either. You can, however, argue that Hillary would have been much better prepared and much more cautious in dialogue with a Russian Foreign minister.

He was exactly who I was talking about when I suggested there were folks in that room that wanted Trump to be President less than you. If it is him; he's doing it because he doesn't want Trump to be President. The Republicans/conservatives control all 3 branches of the government. Not sure I'd classify that as "broke as shit" RE: WAPO: Trump shared highly classified intel to Russians in Oval Office - oncemoreuntothejimbreech - 05-20-2017 (05-19-2017, 09:28 PM)bfine32 Wrote: The "final straw" for what?

I was expecting this; as my impact is broad and I almost explained the point prior to it being introduced, but I held out hope that some could see that was not an attempt to answer a question with a question; but I'll explain the dynamic now. There was no attempt to answer your question by throwing an opposing question back at you or answering with a "what if" (which is how folks attempt to answer a question with a question). I has simply looking for clarification while trying to answer your other points. If I were to ask you: "Do you what to go?" answering that question with a question would be "Do you want to stay?". But if one replied "Do I want to go where?" Then, one is just seeking clarifiaction......Never mind, just roll your eyes. So I must again ask, at the risk of being perceived as ignorant: The "final straw" for what?

I didn't realize you were so lost given the context of this thread and my post. The thread is about controversial actions by Trump that add weight to the Russian probe and has been bumped by further breaking news regarding what is shaping up to be Trump trying to end investigations into the ties between his campaign and Russia. So if you're legitimately confused as to what "the final straw" is in reference to, it's "what will it take to make the Republicans stop supporting this?"

If you're innocent, why are you taking the 5th Amendment?" - Donald Trump http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/22/politics/michael-flynn-pleads-fifth/index.html President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn won't provide records to the Senate intelligence committee and will invoke his Fifth Amendment rights in response to a subpoena from the committee, according to a source close to Flynn. Flynn's refusal to cooperate comes as he faces scrutiny in several inquiries, including on Capitol Hill and a federal grand jury that has issued subpoenas to associates of the ex-national security adviser. Flynn's refusal to cooperate will also intensify scrutiny over Trump's decision to hire him initially for the job and his decision to keep him on staff for 18 days after the President was warned by former acting Attorney General Sally Yates that Flynn may have been compromised by the Russians. The Senate committee had asked Flynn earlier this month to produce all records over his communications with Russian officials by this Wednesday. But Flynn is expected to send a letter later Monday invoking his Fifth Amendment rights.
