    Exactly, because they were compromised. They could not answer those questions because they would incriminate themselves.

    Or worse (better depending on whos asking) trump.

    Edit:

    If you can read the mueller report and walk away this incredulous you either:

    1. Haven’t read it

    2. Aren’t interested in the truth

      Look, you asked which of these threats Americans should be more worried about, and I’d be more worried about armed criminal gang members than some spooks in Washington, because the former could pose a direct and immediate threat to my life.

      Even if you’re an illegal and worried about ICE, the worst they’ll do is deport you and send you to an El Salvadorean prison, but at least you’ll still get there in one piece. MS-13 will chop you up with a machete if you cross them.

        Russian influence plunging america into a recession or their wet dream depression/schism is more of a threat to your life then MS-13, which I would guess is low odds.

        By this same logic you should be in the streets protesting cars because you could literally die anytime you walk out your front door.

          Depressions are survivable. Being chopped up with a machete is not.

            We were talking odds. Depression would dramatically increase everyone’s odds of dying. You think gangs are bad now. Let’s bring on mass economic strife.

            Edit:

            Listen, this stopped being an argument 10 posts ago and somewhere in between became unpaid tutoring. I’ll be on my way now.

              Dude, it’s like you’re worried about dying of cancer while swimming in a lake full of alligators.

              Also, if you’re that worried about a depression making crime worse, wouldn’t it be better if we deported all the foreign gang members first? Seems like that would at least slightly improve the odds of surviving.
