When you start thinking that people in positions of power just naturally are less flawed, more intelligent people than you are....that's the moment you've lost the game.

Lol. Nowhere did I say or assume any of that. When the government wants to know, the amount of people and resources dedicated to the objective far outweighs the confidence you have in your ability to know the same.
I get that. But they're also people just trying to do their jobs and get by, and if someone highly placed has a political aim, and faces few consequences from working towards it, history has shown that they're often willing to bend those rules to suit their whims.
I probably wouldn't piss on roger stone if he was in fire. But I'd probably have a beer with him. And this shit looked all kinds of sketchy. Did they think he has armed GRU units to bring him to Russia in case of arrest? Did they think he was going to have an armed standoff?

Hey- u gotta be prepared for a world class sniper that likes to fuck children, amirite? To NOT purchase a $600 ghillie suit would've been a dereliction of duty.

No one is debating that.
But what someone knows and what they say are two different things.
Do you have a direct line into what the government knows?

Police and prosecutors use all sorts of tactics and displays to create a sense of heightened danger around a defendant whether its for the media or the jury. Causes people to get a pre-perception surrounding the individual where they will then demonize them in their minds from then on.
If you're smart you'll identify when they do this and question their motives for doing so. If you're dumb you'll be fooled into thinking exactly what they want you to believe.

Right. Who am I to think US intelligence and law enforcement would be better informed about an individual's actions than some NIS folks. The nerve.
yeah, the same agencies that were certain saddam was personally throwing babies out of incubators, that ghaddafi was feeding his troops viagra to make them rape harder and still cling to absolutely baseless assertions that assad uses chemical weapons even though they themselves certified the stockpiles destroyed in 2011.

I honestly think these people were raised to trust.
The idea of asking "is this someone I can trust" isn't asked.
I blame too much prosperity in the post war era, as well as a fairly high trust, homogeneous society. These people never had to develop cynicism, much less any sort of street smarts.
OTOH I've been fucked over my whole life, and don't believe much I am told.

Oh I sure asked myself that about trump, and came to the conclusion that he is an untrustworthy slime ball. Some people use their brains and aren’t sheeple. You might wanna try that some time!

Who’s we? The 37% of Americans that are still behind him? Certainly not you!! You only like trump because you want to see our democracy crumble. The people are too smart to put up with his shit, he’s on his way OUT!
I agree, election 2016 was voting for the lesser of two evils.

Yeah. The government lies to the people. Doesn't mean every outcome you disagree with is rooted in ulterior motives.
All anyone knows is what the media in some form has reported. So now we are to take the media at their word, despite people beating that "fake news" drum. Makes sense.
