The fact that multiple people very close to Trump (Manafort, Stone, Gates, Flynn), both personally and operational, met with Russian intelligence agents and assets helps the argument that the DOJ should be looking into Trump himself.


Hmm, should they likewise look into J Kerry meeting with foreign diplomats whilst not being in the then current administration too?


Only if he pretended to represent the US administration. Did he do that?

Otherwise it's just a private citizen meeting with foreign diplomats, which happens all the time and there's nothing nefarious about that.


Things like these: https://nypost.com/2021/04/26/iran-foreign-minister-says-joh...

Maybe it's all politicking, but then if it's good for the goose it's good for the gander.


The NY Post isn't a credible source, sorry.

If Pompeo had evidence of Kerry having illegal talks, he had the opportunity to provide this evidence to the FBI, seeing as he was part of the administration at the time. Instead he chose to 'slam' Kerry during a news conference.

But still no answer to the question if Kerry pretended to represent the US government, which would have been illegal.

That's the equivalent of an ad-hominen attack.


Sure, if it is warranted. I am not partisan. I presume you do not mean while he was acting SecState.


Knowing nothing about that situation except how you've just described it, of course.


>the DOJ should be looking into Trump himself.

Anyone still trying to stir up this nonsense partisan battle is just distracting from the recent major world events.


Contextualizing events with the knowledge that the FBI has shown itself to be a modern NKVD and the “intelligentsia” in journalism are happy to be mouthpieces of the US oligarchy actually saves you a lot of confusion.

Being lost in the moment of a blizzard of “crises” that really aren’t is intellectually paralyzing. Probably intentionally so.
