Comey has no power over where this goes, and Comey didn't appoint Mueller. Mueller is a Republican appointed by Rosenstein, who was appointed by Jeff Sessions who was appointed by Trump. Nobody is above the law, even if the law is controlled by a single political party at the moment.
You don't obstruct investigations if you don't want to look guilty, either.
Lol. Believe what you want to. I have been listening. I don't let the news and extremist dictate how I think. If you disagree then that's on you.
No, but you're not supposed to read a news source and then come up with a completely different idea of what actually happened
No I have other sources to. And I don't just make up shit. That would be stupid. Again you're assuming things.
What does your news source lineup look like, then? And what do you do if most (if not all) of them agree on a certain narrative, as I've seen happen a few times in this thread already
A few youtubers, other journalist. To lazy to link them all on my phone will do it later tonight when I get off of work. I try to watch all news channels but eh some of them just make me cringe. Then I compare information. Do research on sources.

I'm pretty good at sniffing out BS though when I see it. Take that as you will.
You do understand that since YouTubers don't have to ever get reviewed to keep a broadcasting license (since they aren't required to have one to upload to YouTube), they are in no way obligated to present factual information, correct?
Yeah but just wait until I link their channels. The news channels are supposed to present factual information but they pull BS out of no where just for viewer count as well.
Unless they're owned by Sinclair, not really. Fox News and CNN are the only really big exceptions, but the former gets around it by not actually having a news broadcasting license to begin with (yeah, fun fact, in almost every standard channel lineup Fox News is categorized as "Entertainment" rather than "News"), and the later mostly keeps bias confined to opinion panels to stay within the boundaries of ethical reporting. I don't think that there's a single "mainstream" news outlet that reports outright false information; yes, there might be exaggeration and hooking techniques (stuff like "is THIS item in your living room? Find out why it's a MAJOR health hazard at 10!") to increase viewer count, but I have yet to see an outright lie published that wasn't acknowledged and taken down, usually ending the reporters career
It's a collection of essays collected by Yale high professor Bandy Lee, and is made by no less than 27 psychologist. The book (the dangerous case of Donald Trump) is easy to find in full text, but i can't link to it because of gbatemp rules on warez. But to my own surprise, the first one is co-written by Philip Zimbardo (search for'the prison experiment' if you don't know the guy).

Ah I remember her. Yeah she didn't sit down with Trump to properly diagnose him. She was also out of line and was spouting more BS. She also is not licensed.
Sargon of Akkad
Paul Joseph Watson
Jordan B Peterson
MILO
The Daily Wire (Ben Shapiro)
Blaire White
Just to name a few. Some of them are leftist and I don't agree with all of them all of the time and they usually share their sources.
Some of the other guys I used to watch don't really post anymore. But they were mostly Atheist channels. Watch a few of their older vids or all I don't really care.

The fact that you're subscribed to Milo is a little concerning... How much impact would you say he, specifically, out of that list impacts your views? I ask mainly because he's a very, very far-right individual who is a former editor at Breitbart, to say nothing of the fact that he is a known pedophilia apologist. He revels in producing controversial viewpoints for the sake of being the center of attention and has no place in a wholistic view of the political spectrum
Edit: good lord, just looking through some of those at the titles and thumbnails, that's... Something...
If you want something equally far-left to counterbalance that, you should look at The Young Turks. Otherwise you should DEFINITELY look at Kurzgesagt. They're not a political channel, but they cover stuff that is in the political limelight from a purely scientific standpoint occasionally and are very informative

I don't know how I missed that. Milo being a pedophilia apologist. I'll do some more digging on that.
I've seen a few The Young Turks videos I can't stay interested long enough to watch a full video. But they do good work I guess.
I'm not looking for left or right/far left or far right. I look for people who can point out the BS on both sides and I think these channels do a good job.
Again I don't base all my beliefs on these channels.
Mm. I respect that, but from what I can tell there's no investigative journalism going on, at least on channels like Blair White and Paul Watson, they're all just opinion pieces from the looks of it. Plus, I'm not gonna lie, it made me more than a little uncomfortable to click on the link to Paul's channel and be immediately greeted with "Islam is NOT a religion of peace!" and "The Mass Brainwashing of Germany"
Still it's better than those channels that have something against every little thing Trump does and scream racist at every chance they get. And then completely twists Trumps words to fit their narrative. If you want to get Trump then at least have some tangible evidence then you'll have my attention. If it turns out I was wrong, I'd be one of the first to admit I was wrong. But I highly doubt Trump is as bad as everyone says.

You should watch more of Pauls videos though if you can stomach it. Lol
He is some kind of journalist.

it's just in an empty open space, like outside at night or the backrooms, depending on the branch of the hypothetical you either feel unsafe, but you actually are safe, or you feel safe, but are unsafe, also you don't actually know the truth about your safety either way -
