35. She quoted the republican.

Hopefully, you do not disagree that the republican used the word "target." Hence, the OP is, by every definition, correct.

If you read the OP's title, it should be clear to even you that its author asked if the republican was right. The OP did not state that the republican was indeed correct.

My original response to you was to point out that you were incorrect in saying the FBI would inform anyone they were a target. That's not semantics. Rather, it is about how the system actually works. Thus, I said it again, when you incorrectly repeated the bit about the FBI.

Further, I pointed out exactly how that republican might have learned if Trump had become a target. This was in direct response to your statement regarding if it was possible -- not certain -- that the republican did know.

I support people being accurately informed on how the justice system works. I also support people's being accurately informed on how various people attempt to subvert the justice system.

Very nice catch. K&R. N/T lapucelle Jul 2018 #1

I heard that and thought he should argue he wasn't a target per Comey's reply when Trump asked. chowder66 Jul 2018 #5
I thought the same thing. Trump himself was not the "target" of an investigation... Honeycombe8 Jul 2018 #9

Please explain how she is in a position to really know, when the FBI hasn't announced. ancianita Jul 2018 #8
I think people generally think of "Trump team" and "Trump" as the same thing. Honeycombe8 Jul 2018 #11
Strzok seems sharper that that but then again maybe he had a lapse. triron Jul 2018 #13
Strzok didn't say anything to correct her because, consistent with his support of the FBI investiga- ancianita Jul 2018 #16
Yes let's be cautious, but optimistic. triron Jul 2018 #12
What committee(s) does she sit on? Mr.Bill Jul 2018 #14
There IS no security clearance for that info, or Schiff would have told us. ancianita Jul 2018 #17
Told us what? That there is a "security clearance..."? triron Jul 2018 #19
Reread the OP. That's what I'm referring to. It takes FBI leakage to know this. "Clearance" is moot. ancianita Jul 2018 #20
The FBI can't H2O Man Jul 2018 #15
Seriously? Do you know that for a fact? If you do, then you have to say she just leaked. ancianita Jul 2018 #18
I do not H2O Man Jul 2018 #21
"I do know for a fact, that if"...this is how we lose our way. You admit you cannot know for a fact. ancianita Jul 2018 #22
We don't need absolutism I think to post. triron Jul 2018 #24
In terms of national security & FBI intel, we do, if we want the Constitution to survive this prez. ancianita Jul 2018 #27

Incorrect. H2O Man Jul 2018 #30
OP says: "She sure did. not once but twice " The OP is wrong. ancianita Jul 2018 #33
She quoted the republican. H2O Man Jul 2018 #35
Fine. I'll agree in the spirit of understanding. Lately, I'm thinking it's a lost cause. The spirit ancianita Jul 2018 #37
That was killing me. I was wishing he'd called her on it. Does that mean they know something pnwmom Jul 2018 #23
They're NOT admitting. They don't know, and CAN'T know the classification of the FBI's suspects. ancianita Jul 2018 #25
Are you sure? That's a pretty strong assertion it seems.. triron Jul 2018 #28
The FBI owes them no info, so no, given the history of NO LEAKS, they can't know. ancianita Jul 2018 #34
Stzrok had to have clearly heard that. She said it twice. Yet he denied it NOT! triron Jul 2018 #26
Right. He didn't. He saw the interests of the House investigation, and knew that she was FISHING. ancianita Jul 2018 #31
OK but he made no attempt to correct or qualify what she said. I find that revealing. triron Jul 2018 #32
What does it reveal? Do you realize they tried to get him to reveal more than they knew? ancianita Jul 2018 #36
