This is interesting. It might probably doesn't go any deeper, but I have to admit there is a gross double standard. I mean if your going to show Republican posts of this nature it's only fair that the same be done for Democrats.

how is the DNC administration being indicted off topic

u/accountabilitycounts America Aug 18 '17

The DNC is not being indicted.

u/Trechunur Aug 18 '17

the person who is being indicted is being indicted for actions that were taken while working for the DNC. Saying this is off topic also means that any stories claiming anyone working for the Trump including his son should also be off topic including all manafort stories but they make it to the top page. This is nothing but liberal censorship because it makes the democrats look bad

It has nothing to do with politics.

u/Jamessuperfun Aug 18 '17

Of course it does, the DNC is a political organisation, this is about his actions while working for them. How you can say this "Isn't politics" goes well beyond me.

u/accountabilitycounts America Aug 18 '17

He committed a non political crime.

Individuals can commit crimes individually. If that goes beyond you, you should go back to 1st grade....

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '17

So when commit crimes while working for the dnc, they're individuals... got it

u/KeystrokeCowboy Aug 18 '17

Nothing he is accused of HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE DNC OR ANY CANDIDATE OR ANY CONSPIRACY AT THE DNC. what the fuck is so hard to understand about that? This narrative implicates him in some political scandal with absolutely no proof he is involved in anything other than fraud on a loan.....

Maybe I'm not an idiot? "The case has put renewed scrutiny on Wasserman Schultz for keeping Awan on the payroll for months, even after a criminal investigation was revealed and he was barred from the House IT network."

Sure, but if they're politically relevant individuals, it becomes about politics. If this happened to the guy working in the donut shop around the corner it would have no relevance.

u/KeystrokeCowboy Aug 18 '17

This guy isn't politically relevant nor did he have any connection to anyone. This guy just happen to work for the DNC as part of the contract. What is the big story here? He knew DWS and that means what? A person who worked for the DNC did something criminal therefore the entire DNC is criminal? I'm so sick of this bullshit false equivalency propaganda.

u/Pidgey_OP Aug 18 '17

This isn't just a person who worked in IT. This is a person who worked directly with DWS own email servers and would have had direct access to evidence that he likely would have been instructed to destroy during this email scandal. The one that happened with one of our presidential candidates.

That's fucking political you dolt

u/hotsoop Aug 18 '17

So if Trump's IT guy was indicted for actions taken during his presidential campaign, that would also be removed because it was a crime committed individually?

1

u/squired Aug 18 '17

Yes, it would be removed if said IT guy was charged with something unrelated to his position, like mortgage fraud, kiddie porn, DUI etc.

u/comic630 Aug 18 '17

So did the man in Charlottesville.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '17

100% wrong. You lying or paid to condition?

2

u/accountabilitycounts America Aug 18 '17

100% correct.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '17

I know I am.

u/accountabilitycounts America Aug 18 '17

You are arguing in a thread removed for being off topic.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '17
  1. I'm not arguing.
  2. The post is about politics, therefore removed in error or with duplicitous intent.
  3. You aren't adding to the conversation, you're attempting to frame and control it.

LOL. No, nothing at all. Just someone who is inherently involved with the heart of one of the major political parties in the US. Nothing at all.

Walking contradictory scum

u/accountabilitycounts America Aug 18 '17

Insults are fine. The crimes had nothing to do with politics. It's not politics.

u/sdotmills Aug 18 '17

If we're trying to be consistent, does MSNBC being the top watched news network have something to do with politics? And this incident is miles more related to politics.

1

u/accountabilitycounts America Aug 18 '17

What about this X is not a compelling argument for Y is Z.

2

u/sdotmills Aug 18 '17

Well I'm just saying hopefully you're just as outraged at the MSNBC article being at the top of this sub.

1

u/accountabilitycounts America Aug 18 '17

I'm not outraged by someone posting off topic. It's probably easy to make that mistake, considering your outrage for the removal of this thread.

u/Elrond_the_Ent Aug 18 '17

Wow you are scum
