Good news! They have both, and so does Mueller.

What is this legal justification for accessing Trump's private tax records?
Is this coming from a judge?

IRS investigators already have access to Trump's tax returns (it's literally their job).

Mueller's authority has been granted by the Department of Justice, and he has also been working with multiple Grand Juries to secure warrants for a variety of different things.

Okay, a march of guys with swastikas beating up and even murdering counter protestors while being called "good people" from the President is nothing to be concerned about.

Oh, they have the right to march. On the other hand, when violence breaks out, like it did the day before the march, the cops have the right to call off the march and send people home.

Care to point out the "good people" on the white supremacy side in that video?

The president didn't call the white supremacists "good people." I know that's the narrative you want to push but it is simply false. He said there were "good people" among the demonstrators who were against the removal of the statue. I don't know how he knows that to be true but then you can't know that it is false.

The sentence in red does not justify the rest of your post. Once again, in this video show me all the "good people" that are apparent.

If you can't, then you can't justify Trump's pandering to the Klan/Nazis in sympathy with those Unite The Right marchers surrounding the few counter protestors, beating and murdering them.

This is false.

Trump specifically said there were 'good people's at the Friday night rally.

The one, yaknow, featuring a bunch of white dudes with torches chanting anti-Jew slogans and other white supremacist slogans.

Who were the good people at such an event?

Would you have stuck around?

Would you think that anyone who marched while chanting racist slogans was a 'good person?'

Trump does,

he said exactly this.

He said this because he believes that good people do these things and associate with people who do these things.

Frankly there's one person here pushing a false narrative about Trump's words, and it's not the people you are responding to.

Why are you still defending the guy?

You ******* know he is a scumbag, you're to smart to be one of the fools who blindly follows his idiocy. So why continue?

If you were with a bunch of people who started chanting "Blood and Soil! The Jews will not replace us!", would you immediately leave, or just ignore it and just keep marching or hanging around?

Multiple news sources report that President Plump wants Anti-Fascist Action to be declared a terrorist organization.

oralloy considers some of the armed militiamen to have been good guys. They basically claimed to support neither side and were just there to prevent violence and exercise their 2nd Amendment rights.

I consider them to be idiots, grown men playing soldier.

Whether their presence substantiates the president's claim that there were "good people" (on both sides) is up for discussion. But according to Finn, the "good" people were among those demonstrating against the removal of the statue. Since the militiamen claim to have been neutral it would be inaccurate to deem them as part of the good guy contingent as they were on neither "side".

Very funny.

Actually, there are a lot of liberal views I've held from very early here, but dyed in the wool partisans elect to gloss over those and use Bush support as their sole criteria--which is their prerogative, but a flawed assessment of a 180 degree recalculation.

In 2015, there were how many fatal shootings in Japan?
One.

Today it's revealed that Pence was in the room when Trump wrote the first draft of his Comey firing memo. Had the memo handed to him and everything.

Later, he went on TV and insisted that the firing was ONLY due to Rosenstein's recommendation. No other reason. He literally bore false witness on TV, the man is a liar as bad as Trump.

He also insisted over and over again that he knew nothing of Flynn's problems - despite being the head of Trump's transition team. That was a lie as well. I'm beginning to think that Pence has a very small chance of surviving this, he is actively engaged in the same Obstruction of Justice that Trump is.

I think more than the crooked way they tried to get Russian help with the election, the people Trump put in charge of these offices just burns me up. Devos is the worst in my opinion out of a bunch of horrible people put in charge of departments they don't believe in. She is a betrayer to young women in colleges across the US.

As I said, neither Trump nor Pence has engaged in anything even remotely approaching obstruction
