Jump to postI love seals ever since I was a small kid (perhaps 4 or 5) and my parents gave me a stuffed toy that was a white baby seal. That was my favorite toy growing up. Just recently my mother rediscovered that toy and I allowed my own infant son to play with it, but I must say, I was very apprehensive he w...
Jump to postThey had verified sources, with material tracing that could be proved. The post had none of that, and could not provide verified sourcing of the emails. In other words, it is as much a Sham as Trump's business projects. That was not the issue at hand, his concern was with publishing stolen informat...

Jump to postThe examples of cash based tax evasion put forward so far have been firmly about wants rather than needs. I have no sympathy if that option is removed. Agree.

Jump to postAt least faking e-mails, photos, etc. (if that is indeed what they did - nobody knows for sure yet) takes Dan Rather levels of effort (even more if they want to avoid rookie mistakes like having them made in MS Word), shows much more commitment than just making up an anonymous source.

Jump to postIt doesn't. It is also completely irrelevant to the merits of the FBI case, so they should stick to providing evidence and not value judgements.
