Comment on If comey can be investigated by the secret service for an Instagram tweet what is stopping elon from taking hold of politicians/reporters accounts and making posts that will get them investigated?

  Ah yes, because this administration is SO good about providing people with due process.

    What I’m trying to convey, in the face of your obnoxious sarcasm, is that while the administration would of course interfere in what should be an objective investigation, politicians and reporters have a wealth of powerful advocates in their support networks. The administration can only control the message/investigation of the SS. They cannot control the message or investigations of the victim’s support network, however hard they may try.

      Amazingly enough, there are more people in the world than the rich, famous, or powerful. Most people do not have that “wealth of powerful advocates.”

      Those people also deserve the rights you’re so callously ignoring.

      Dear baby Jesus, dude, go watch some “news” from US sources? Everyone just went with the program and there is very little pushback from the press. Oh yeah, there is pushback but it’s a fraction of what it could be, should be.

  You haven’t watched the news lately, have you? Trump simply says you’re a traitor and you’ll be “investigated” as in someone will write a doc saying why you should be deported (you’re a terrorist! Evidence not required) and you’ll be on a flight out.

  This current US government really doesn’t give a shit about facts
