    At least that would be more legitimate than what the OP talks about.

    Exactly, the two exchange over five thousand plus Emails and the right pulls out a dozen or so phrases and builds an entire conspiracy. Always liked the ones "POTUS wants everything we have," interpreted to mean Obama was in on the coup, and "secret societies" two words on their own supposedly validating an entire organization was involved

    Common sense would dictate that is such a plot did exist there would be more than the dozen or so phrases in such a large quantity of Emails validating a conspiracy

    And yet we have a transcript of a Trump phone call where he directly says do us "favor" requesting opening an investigation on a political rival, a request backed up with hard circumstantial evidence, and the right tells us that is insignificant

    Seems your side uses a generalized measurement while asking for specific evidence when the pendulum swings the other way

    What could “leak strategy with the DOJ” mean besides a leak strategy with the DOJ lol?

    I thought leaking was illegal. Did he just admit to a crime? What narrative were they trying to massage with their ‘leak strategy’? Was it coordinated with persons in the media?
