President Donald Trump should not be held to a perfect standard

[madamesilverspurs]

Rep. Ken Buck said Wednesday he's concerned the special counsel investigation has gone beyond its original scope, saying the law allowing the special prosecutor undermines the integrity of U.S. elections.

The Greeley Tribune reached out to Buck and Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., in the wake of the firing of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, statements from President Donald Trump's attorney regarding the special counsel investigation and tweets from the president on the same topic.
...
Buck, a former federal prosecutor, didn't directly answer whether he ever found things he wasn't looking for during the course of his investigations. Instead, he said he was never given unlimited resources or unlimited time to investigate someone.
"No federal prosecutor has ever worked on a case like this," Buck said. "This law is fundamentally flawed. It undermines the integrity of our elections if we're going to investigate anything a president could have done wrong." ........

1. Nobody should ever reach out to either Ken Buck or Cory Gardner

Last time I reached out, Cory sent me an email exclaiming how wonderful Sessions was.

"It undermines the integrity of our elections if we're going to investigate anything a president could have done wrong."

4. When you hire 16 high priced financial crime prosecutors, things can get expensive and take a while.

A better question is why you need to do it in the first place. Comey knows, Mueller knows.......soon we all will hopefully.

7. Buck seems to know a thing or two about runaway investigations:

From Wikipedia:

Buck was elected the District Attorney for Weld County, Colorado in 2004. When he suspected that Social Security numbers were being stolen by illegal immigrants, he raided a tax service in Greeley, Colorado and seized more than 5,000 tax files. The American Civil Liberties Union sued Buck's office for violating the privacy of the service's clients and after an appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court, costing the county approximately $150,000, the raid was deemed unconstitutional.

Guess it depends on whose ox is being gored.

8. Au contraire, Rep. Buck! Since there is another election in 2020,

an investigation actually gives voters MORE information about their candidate choices! It actually strengthens the democracy!

10. Excuse me, sir, but if the Russians are interfering in our elections, they have no integrity.
