    BREAKING: Dummy Republicans are still bitching that Contreras recused from Flynn case (which would always be proper result in case of conflict) resulting in judge that's famously concerned abt runaway prosecutions.http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/16/judge-friends-with-peter-strzok/ …

        It's just more FUD on the part of these guys. If a judge recuses, there's really not a big reason to need to know why, bc even if the why is interesting, recusal is the right remedy.

        Right! Just what is wrong with inviting a FISA judge to a cocktail party so he can mingle with agents working a case he may have to involve himself in? Certainly no appearance of conflict there.

        You do realize the judge voluntarily recused himself? In addition the Federalist story is full of egregious hyperbole and exaggeration. Even the far-right Daily Caller didn't go that far. Why aren't Wray and Rosenstein?

        I have seen no proof either way whether he recused or was removed. It is still an open question. But if he recused 5 days after presiding over Flynn case, then the conflict most likely existed then too. Time will tell.

        Of course, the odd thing is that Contreras didn't recuse earlier and whether he was instructed/ordered to recuse.

        Why on earth would he have recused earlier?

        Lets find out why he did recuse. Then we might know whether he shouldn't have recused earlier. (You can't be a truthseeker if you don't want to know, either.)

        New Strzok/Page texts do not provide evidence for the conspiracy alleged here. Hemingway & Trump supporters at The Federalist regularly label those pushing Trump-Russia "collusion" narrative "conspiracy theorists," but are doing the same here with this counter narrative

        I could think of 1,000 words fitting of Republicans... but in light of the Democrats utter fatuousness of late, I don't think "dummy" is the right word here.
