Especially the one about college...I'm sure our esteemed host pushed his spawn to learn how to clean toilets at a major retail jeweler as a way to get head.....LOLOLOL
We now know, based on today’s and other information released over recent weeks, that during this time Trump and members of his inner circle were in more or less constant contact with a long list of Russian government officials, intermediaries, intelligence officials and businessmen. This is in contrast to literally years of denials. But let’s not get stuck on the denials.
[...]
So, help from Russia in the form of hacking and propaganda, paired with offers of hugely lucrative business deals to Trump and repeated offers of political support. All the while candidate Trump supported Russia’s international agenda, repeatedly denied any Russian role in hacking his political opponents and pressed for an end of sanctions, which was Russia’s central foreign policy ambition.
Some things look very different in retrospect. Let’s look at one example, the notorious email exchange between Rob Goldstone and Don Jr on the morning of June 3rd, 2016.
Good morning
Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting.
The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.
This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump – helped along by Aras and Emin.
What do you think is the best way to handle this information and would you be able to speak to Emin about it directly?
I can also send this info to your father via Rhona, but it is ultra sensitive so wanted to send to you first.
Best
Rob Goldstone
Less than 20 minutes later …
Thanks Rob I appreciate that. I am on the road at the moment but perhaps I just speak to Emin first. Seems we have some time and if it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer. Could we do a call first thing next week when I am back?
Best,
Don
Look at that one line: “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump …”
No head baked we don't know that. You're projecting your bullshit again.
OTOH, what we know I'd that the FISA warrant was based on unverified Hillary funded lies dressed up as an official report. No one deserves prison more than her.
The president has now stepped into the same territory that ultimately led to President Nixon resigning the office. President Nixon was an unindicted co-conspirator. Was certainly a different set of facts, but this investigation is now starting to put the president in serious legal crosshairs and he should be worried and the whole country should be worried.
Mueller is in the process of writing his final report, there are questions about when the final report will be made public.
“I would also counsel the special investigator to show his cards soon," Murphy said. "I mean I think it's important for the special investigator to give Congress what he has sometime early in 2019 so that Congress can make a determination. If the president did, in fact, collude with the Russians to try to manipulate the election, or engage in multiple felonies with Michael Cohen, it doesn't really make sense for congress to get that report from the special investigator in 2020, we need that next year. We need that as soon as possible."
The majority of Americans believe that the President has been in collusion with the Russians.
perhaps you could share the poll that supports this.
Only his stupid base believes your President. Trump castrated you.
psychologically projecting again i see.
it's the left that has castrated YOU, alky. we on the right still believe in due process, innocence until PROVEN guilty, and most importantly we understand that the court of public opinion, while sometimes fashionable to you clowns, is meaningless in this case. if the majority of americans DO believe that trump colluded with russia it should come as no surprise to anyone. the media has been peddling that bullshit for 30 months now. only those who've been in a coma all this time would not have an opinion to share. and if you're not a political junkie like us, then sure... if you've listened to fredo cuomo on CNN for more than two minutes then yeah, you're convinced that ORANGE MAN BAD.
oh, and regarding your intellect alky...
i'm with scott. i don't think you're nearly as intelligent as you claim. what i DO believe you possess is a gargantuan inferiority complex. hardly a week goes by that you don't brag about something around here. and if scott posts a story about someone achieving some level of greatness, then we have you to tell us that you've done it too, you've met this hero, you've been there and done that, or something that will compel you to seize the moment and try and make it about YOU.
the sum total of your contributions around here can be summed up in two words:
copy
paste
and what's ALWAYS missing from your plagiarized missives is your interpretation of what you've stolen, or a summary of how the ripped-off material informs YOUR opinion.
we get neither.
so to conclude... you're a fraud alky. and not a very bright one at that.
now get busy on those articles of impeachment, alky. trump's reelection campaign starts NOW, and there's no better way to fire up his base than to have you assholes try to take him out.
why did you leave out the best LIE of murphy's quote, alky?
Listen, nobody’s rooting for the president to go down in this manner. This isn’t good for democracy but this investigation may ultimately lead to Congress taking action.
what a tool.
fucking EVERYBODY on the democrat side is rooting for the president to go down in this manner.
isn't good for democracy?
what a fucking assclown. what WAS good for democracy was trump winning a free and fair election, and you fucking crybabies not being happy about how it turned out. you run the worst candidate in the history of the republic, she gets her fat, wrinkled ass kicked, and now you want a fucking do-over.
It's not just the same stuff over and over. The noose is tightening, definitely tightening.
Individual 1 Is In Grave Danger 11:14 pm last night EST
Ken White: “The president said on Twitter that Friday’s news ‘totally clears the President. Thank you!’
"It does not. Manafort and Cohen are in trouble, and so is Trump. The special counsel’s confidence in his ability to prove Manafort a liar appears justified, which leaves Manafort facing what amounts to a life sentence without any cooperation credit. The Southern District’s brief suggests that Cohen’s dreams of probation are not likely to come true.
“All three briefs show the special counsel and the Southern District closing in on President Trump and his administration. They’re looking into campaign contact with Russia, campaign-finance fraud in connection with paying off an adult actress, and participation in lying to Congress. A Democratic House of Representatives, just days away, strains at the leash to help. The game’s afoot.”
Marcy Wheeler: “Speculation has been building for months about the report that special counsel Robert Mueller is obligated to write under the regulation governing his appointment. When will it come out? Will Rudolph Giuliani really write a ‘rebuttal’ on President Trump’s behalf? Can the acting attorney general — whom Trump seems to have named to the job in a bid to exert more control over Mueller — or his replacement prevent the report from being made public, effectively burying whatever the investigation has found?”
“But Mueller has already been submitting his report, piece by piece, in indictments and other charging documents. He has hidden it in plain sight in the court dockets of individuals and organizations he has prosecuted. Many of those court papers have included far more detail than necessary to prove the culpability of defendants who have agreed to plead guilty. This isn’t just legal overkill on Mueller’s part — it’s the outlines of a sweeping narrative about the 2016 election.”
Dean Says Congress Will Be Forced to Begin Impeachment i1:49 am EST
Former Nixon White House lawyer John Dean told CNN he thinks Congress will have “little choice” but to begin impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump following a Friday evening court filing involving Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen.
Said Dean: “In his allocution, he implicated Trump directly. And he was doing it, his instructions, that’s why the payments were made and they were for his benefit.”

Mueller Probe Moves Into Nixon Territory 11:26 am EST
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) told ABC News that the publicly available facts from special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe indicate President Trump’s actions are “beyond the stage” of what led to the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton.
Said Murphy: “The president has now stepped into the same territory that ultimately led to President Nixon resigning the office. President Nixon was an unindicted co-conspirator. Was certainly a different set of facts, but this investigation is now starting to put the president in serious legal crosshairs and he should be worried and the whole country should be worried.” __________________
Christie Says Prosecutors Have Evidence Trump Broke Law 11:22 am EST
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) told ABC News that the language federal prosecutors are using to refer to President Trump in an indictment against Michael Cohen makes it sound as if they might have corroborating evidence that Trump violated campaign finance law.
Said Christie: “The language in the sentencing memo is different from what we’ve heard before. The only thing that would concern me if I was the president’s team this morning about this sentencing memo is the language.”
He added: “The language sounds very definite. And what I’d be concerned about is, what corroboration do they have?”
Schiff Says Trump Could Face Jail Time 11:18 am EST
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) told CBS News that President Trump might “face the real prospect of jail time” after prosecutors indicated last week that he directed illegal payments during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Said Schiff: “There’s a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him. That he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time.” __________________
Beto O’Rourke Emerges as a Wildcard for Democrats 9:40 am EST
New York Times: “Rep. Beto O’Rourke has emerged as the wild card of the presidential campaign-in-waiting for a Democratic Party that lacks a clear 2020 front-runner. After a star-making turn in his close race against Sen. Ted Cruz, Mr. O’Rourke is increasingly serious about a 2020 run — a development that is rousing activists in early-voting states, leading veterans of former President Barack Obama’s political operation (and Mr. Obama himself) to offer their counsel and hampering would-be rivals who are scrambling to lock down influential supporters and strategists as future campaign staff.
“Advisers to other prospective Democratic candidates for 2020 acknowledge that Mr. O’Rourke is worthy of their concern. His record-setting success with small donors would test the grass-roots strength of progressives like Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Bernie Sanders. His sometimes saccharine call to summon the nation’s better angels would compete with the likely pitch of Sen. Cory Booker.
“And his appeal to some former Obama advisers — and, potentially, his electoral coalition of young people, women and often infrequent voters — could complicate a possible run for former Vice President Joe Biden, who would aim to win back many of his former boss’s constituencies.”
Rubio Warns Against Pardoning Manafort 9:18 am EST
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) told ABC News that President Trump pardoning former campaign chairman Paul Manafort would be a “terrible mistake,” and that doing so could possibly “trigger a debate about whether the pardon powers should be amended.”
Said Rubio: “I think that would be a terrible… I really do. I believe it’d be a terrible mistake. Pardons should be used judiciously. They’re used for cases with extraordinary circumstances.” _______________
Russians Interacted with at Least 14 Trump Associates 3:21 pm EST
Washington Post: “Again and again and again, over the course of Donald Trump’s 18-month campaign for the presidency, Russian citizens made contact with his closest family and friends, as well as figures on the periphery of his orbit.
“Some offered to help his campaign and his real estate business. Some offered dirt on his Democratic opponent. Repeatedly, Russian nationals suggested Trump should hold a peacemaking sit-down with Vladimir Putin — and offered to broker such a summit.
“In all, Russians interacted with at least 14 Trump associates during the campaign and presidential transition, public records and interviews show."

Yes I posted that goat fucker......how many more times are you going to be a stupid fuck and post it over and over like the broken asshole you are??????
Vice President Pence’s chief of staff, Nick Ayers, will not take the top administration job and instead will work with the super PAC set up to assist the president’s re-election campaign, according to an administration official with direct knowledge of the negotiations.
Yeah we all delight in how stupid you and your brethren are at all times, every day....goat fucking log burning idiot ......go spam the freepers, they are your kind of asshole...
trump cracks a joke, and the geniuses at the amazon post take him literally and seriously...
The special counsel’s filings have also revealed moments when Russia appeared to be taking cues from Trump. In July 2016, the then-GOP candidate said at a news conference, “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” referring to messages Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton had deleted from a private account. That day, the Russians made their first effort to break into servers used by Clinton’s personal office, according to court documents.
It was breathtaking to see that someone who has the authority to tell the truth to the President has refused to take the job because the job would be a negative reflection on his character.
Trump follows his gut, not on the facts that are presented to him. Tillerson said the same thing. So have several others in public.
His lawyers can't stand Trump, his team he has six months ago are gone.
His turnover of staff and Cabinet officials is the highest in history in two years since his inauguration.
“In all, Russians interacted with at least 14 Trump associates during the campaign and presidential transition, public records and interviews show."
hey alky,
question for ya...
if this is such a big fucking deal, and it supposedly is because the brain trust at the amazon post is telling us it's a big fucking deal, why is mueller fucking around over hush money paid to a couple of whores?
you keep shouting "collusion" which is not a crime by the way. so did the whores collude with russia? did trump pay the whores in rubles? is cohen a russian jew? i knew some russian jews as a kid growing up. shrewd businessmen. do trump associates have some unpaid russian parking tickets that were "forgiven" from business trips over there?
help me out here alky. i'm just trying to understand what you guys have on trump, and exactly what's going to do him in.
oh and btw alky, you had better make damn sure trump doesn't win reelection. because if he does, that will mean you can't indict him until 2024, and the statute of limitations will have run out on the whore payments.
Ivanka’s husband, top campaign adviser Jared Kushner, as well as Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort, his personal lawyer Michael Cohen and his longest-serving political adviser, Roger Stone, also had contact with Russian nationals.
Veterans of past White House bids said that so much interplay with representatives of a foreign adversary is highly unusual. “This is different in kind than anything I have ever heard of before,” said Trevor Potter, who served as general counsel to Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign in 2008. McCain, he noted, traveled the globe as a member of the Senate, but his contacts with foreign government officials generally occurred in consultation with the State Department and involved questions of policy — not personal business or his own electoral concerns.
The number of known interactions has grown since last year, when The Washington Post tallied that at least nine Trump associates had contacts with Russians during the campaign or presidential transition.
At the time, then-White House lawyer Ty Cobb said, “I think the American public can fully appreciate that those are isolated, obviously disconnected events, quite small in number for a presidential campaign.”
Trump attorney Jay Sekulow declined to comment on Sunday.
The president has repeatedly denied that people close to him coordinated with Russia, tweeting frequently, “NO COLLUSION!”
New court documents filed by Mueller’s prosecutors in the past two weeks revealed the Russian outreach was more extensive than previously known.
The story shows that the President has been in contact with the Russians in the campaign and after the election.
It was breathtaking to see that someone who has the authority to tell the truth to the President has refused to take the job because the job would be a negative reflection on his character.
breathtaking.
really?
you mean like it literally took your breath away?
are you sure it wasn't just from the exertion of pushing your walker from the living room to the kitchen?
i mean, someone turning down a job is hardly breathtaking alky.
i've turned down jobs before. it just wasn't that big of a deal. certainly nothing i'd refer to as breathtaking.
The angry white guy from Buffalo New York just can't believe that real people don't agree with his racist beliefs. Jimmy is a loser who is a low level player in a telephone company. He can't stand the guys who do the hard work to keep the company online. They are union members who make more than he does and have superior benefits.
Ivanka’s husband, top campaign adviser Jared Kushner, as well as Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort, his personal lawyer Michael Cohen and his longest-serving political adviser, Roger Stone, also had contact with Russian nationals.

here's the thing, alky...
when you want to do business with folks in other nations, you actually have to have contact with them.
and get this, this is where it gets super interesting...
you might even have to travel to that other country and
wait for it...
meet those folks in person. like in their country. for real.
If someone was stupid enough to offer you a great job is a fucking idiot.
ladies and gentlemen, i would ask you to take a moment and sit back in wondrous marvel at the sentence the alky has graced us with, in all its gibberish glory.
idiocy like this just doesn't come along every day, no siree bob. this is a finely honed and crafted idiocy, built upon years and years of dedicated alcohol abuse and the willful destruction of not only a liver, but millions upon millions of once-functioning brain cells. the type of brain cells that once help roger master the daunting union task of...
"Tab A into Slot B."
let us bow our heads in a moment of silence to remember those brain cells. and the functions they once helped the alky perform with such skill and grace.
Dec. 9, 2018 Nick Ayers, President Trump’s top choice to replace John F. Kelly as chief of staff, has declined to take the job, according to three people familiar with the talks.
Mr. Ayers, 36, the chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence, is expected to leave the administration in the coming weeks as his family returns to Georgia, according to people familiar with his plans.
That leaves it unclear who will take the top West Wing job as Mr. Trump enters the 2020 campaign confronting growing danger from the special counsel investigation into Russian election interference and from Democrats who have vowed tougher oversight after they take control of the House next month.
Mr. Ayers had told the president that he would do the job on an interim basis, through the spring. But Mr. Trump wants a permanent chief of staff as he heads into the fight of his political life.
No highly qualified candidates are available. They know that the job as the Chief of staff for this President is a death sentence for the foreseeable future. The Democrats will have the power of subpoena on the President. Including his tax returns. He's been the first President since Nixon has refused to publicly disclose his taxes. He keeps saying that they are going under review. It doesn't take two years to audit his tax returns.
Others seen as possible choices for chief of staff include the Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin; Mr. Trump’s budget director, Mick Mulvaney; and the United States trade representative, Robert Lighthizer.
None of them are experienced in this situation. Trump wants yes Mr. Trump loyalists. This is going to make it easier for the impeachment hearings. If they proceed.
Trump is going to be the first President to run for reelection during a recession.
The Blue Tsunami is going to hit the beach in 2020.
yes, that's it alky. i've surrendered. to what, i'm not sure.
apparently you've won something? nothing of value, i'm sure. i mean, this is an obscure political blog on the vast and virtually endless interwebs. but, since this blog basically contains the whole of your pathetic existence, then by all means, rejoice! in what you've won.
and be sure to share the thrilling story of your conquest at your next alcoholics anonymous gathering. perhaps at the christmas party. you guys DO have a christmas party no? or is it too much of a temptation to imbibe of the demon rum? us normals who can enjoy the stuff without our lives turning into a dumpster fire complete with a liver transplant are never quite sure of these things.
shuffle that walker with pride, alky. head held high, as you shuffle off to bed, declaring victory, in all its splendor and glory. ask mail order for an extra opioid this evening. it's cause for celebration! perhaps some new tennis balls for the walker are in order. i mean, this is, as joe biden would say, a big fucking deal.
Trump is going to be the first President to run for reelection during a recession.
only if you ignore the fact that jimmy carter did. oh, and we can't forget about your dear leader 0linsky. he did it too.
you really need to start looking this shit up alky. it's unbecoming for a guy with such a stratospheric IQ such as yours to throw it all away by looking like a fucktard.
so democrats are prepared to put this dumb fuck in charge of something more important than stocking the commissary buffet...
“They would be impeachable offenses. Whether they’re important enough to justify an impeachment is a different question,” said Representative Jerry Nadler on CNN.

New York (CNN) Former FBI Director James Comey asked American voters Sunday night to end Donald Trump's presidency with a "landslide" victory for his opponent in 2020.
"All of us should use every breath we have to make sure the lies stop on January 20, 2021," Comey told an audience at the 92nd Street Y on New York City's Upper East Side. He all but begged Democrats to set aside their ideological differences and nominate the person best suited to defeating Trump in an election.
"I understand the Democrats have important debates now over who their candidate should be," Comey told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, "but they have to win. They have to win."
Over the course of more than an hour, Comey repeatedly derided Trump's character, again likening the atmosphere around the President to what he saw in prosecuting mafia figures and suggested that Trump's tweets could eventually amount to witness tampering. Asked if Trump might be an unindicted co-conspirator in some of the crimes recently described by special counsel Robert Mueller, Comey said he didn't know, "but if he's not there, he's certainly close."
Still, Comey said he hoped that Trump would be swept out of office without being impeached. Framing the rise of Trumpism as a political ill the country needed to exorcise at the ballot, he expressed a hope that Americans would "in a landslide rid ourselves of this attack on our values."
"Removal by impeachment would muddy that," he said, and potentially leave a third of the country feeling like their chosen leader had been removed in a "coup."
Trump's decision to fire Comey in May 2017 was a key factor in the appointment of Mueller, who was handed the job by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in the aftermath of Comey's dismissal and the subsequent leak of a memo in which he recounted Trump asking that he end an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn. In a book and in public statements, Comey has become a leading critic of Trump -- and Trump has berated him in turn, relentlessly and usually on Twitter.
Trump, without evidence, accuses James Comey of lying to House Judiciary Committee Trump, without evidence, accuses James Comey of lying to House Judiciary Committee Hours earlier, Trump attacked Comey in a pair of testy morning tweets, claiming without evidence that the former FBI chief had lied on Friday in his testimony to the House Judiciary and Oversight committees.
"Leakin' James Comey must have set a record for who lied the most to Congress in one day. His Friday testimony was so untruthful!," Trump wrote, adding in a second post: "On 245 occasions, former FBI Director James Comey told House investigators he didn't know, didn't recall, or couldn't remember things when asked."
Comey laughed at the idea Trump had even looked over the actual testimony, joking to Wallace before she could read the tweets, "He's finished reading the 253 pages?"
After hearing the words out loud, he turned serious.
"My reaction to it is actually disturbing to me, which is kind of, 'Eh, there he goes again.' I thought I was 'Lyin' James Comey' now I'm 'Leakin' James Comey'. But I kind of shrug and sometimes smile and laugh about it and then I have a secondary reaction, which is to be horrified at my own numb reaction," Comey said. "We have to remind ourselves the President of the United States of America is publicly announcing that people are committing crimes, that they should be in jail."
Asked if Trump's tweets could be viewed as witness tampering, Comey answered carefully -- insisting he had no insight into Mueller's thinking.
"I'm not prepared to judge it," Comey said, "but again, if I were prosecuting a case in the Southern District of New York and a prominent person started attacking my witnesses, I'd want to know so what's going on there and does that cross the line from free speech, which we have to keep protected, into something else?"
Comey says firing Mueller alone won't derail investigations Comey says firing Mueller alone won't derail investigations Speaking about the period before the 2016 election, Comey was unsparing of Republican congressional leaders who he said opposed making public intelligence community concerns over Russian interference.
"To their everlasting shame, the leaders -- (Senate Majority Leader Mitch) McConnell, (House Speaker Paul) Ryan -- refused," Comey said. "I think they're going to have a hard time explaining that to history."
He had kinder words for former President Barack Obama, describing the Democrat as a foil to Trump in almost every way.
"I was struck that Barack Obama is the best listener as a leader I had ever seen and Donald Trump is the worst I've ever seen," Comey said. "Obama had the confidence to be quiet and try and get that. Donald Trump is a deeply, deeply insecure person, so I don't see any prospect that he would be able to be quiet for long enough to hear the truth."
This week, rabid anti-Trump voices in the media are giving the “this is it!” treatment to Mueller’s latest “bombshell”: the sentencing memo his Special Counsel’s Office had to submit for Gen. Michael Flynn, the former national security advisor whose family Mueller has harassed and threatened for almost two Years.
The sentencing memo is just another complete failure on Mueller’s part to produce anything related to the supposed reason for his appointment: the non-existent “collusion” between the Trump campaign and Russian hackers. It contains evidence of nothing except the fact that Mueller’s entire investigation is a vindictive, partisan farce intended to overturn the legitimate result of the 2016 presidential election that sent Donald Trump to the White House.
The memo recommends that the judge give Flynn a light sentence as a reward for the “substantial assistance” he provided to Mueller’s investigation. Liberals are treating that recommendation as if it could only have been given in exchange for the real goods, the bombshell that’s going to finally take President Trump down.
That’s completely wrong and misleading, just like every other gleeful prediction they’ve made about the President’s impending demise.
The federal sentencing guidelines in Flynn’s case call for 0-6 months -- exactly what Mueller is “graciously” recommending. Mueller did Flynn no favors. Quite to the contrary, the only reason Flynn is facing any threat to his liberty is Mueller’s insistence on prosecuting him -- and more importantly threatening his son with prosecution -- over “crimes” that would have been thrown out by any ethical prosecutor the moment they crossed his desk.
Worst case of prosecutorial abuse I've ever seen and I thought Scooter Libby got a raw deal.

As the French president prepared to face down his critics, Russia was forced to deny claims it had whipped up the riots on social media, calling the claim 'slanderous.'
The Russian had nothing to do with it nor did they need too. This is a standard dodge by the liberal socialist elite when the people rebell against their tyranist rule.
The truth of the matter is that the French people know climate change is a scam for the elite to take more money to support their lavish lifestyle at the expense of the average taxpayer.
And with 70% of the French supporting the protesters, climate taxes at the expense of the poor and middle class are not going to fly.

You do include trump in your statement....since it is very apparent that donnie paid off 2 whores to keep quiet and probably swung the election in his favor since nothing came out until march of 2017.......Shouldn't he be indicted for directing cohen to commit a felony???? Asshole
If Inspector Jacques Clouseau was evil he would be James Comey. In the transcript it reveals that while he took unprecedented actions after the Clinton/Lynch tarmac meeting he never directed anyone to look into it. He can't remember anything, you wonder how he ever was able to write a book unless it was fiction. And you need to add on the many times his lawyers wouldn't even allow him to answer "he didn't remember" by telling him not to answer.
While his own office call the Clinton email investigation appalling and unprecedented he sees it as a big nothingburger. Having 3 targets of an investigation sit in on the questioning of the lead target and giving immunity for nothing in return and destroying evidence that would validate either guilt or innocence is something he doesn't question. Imagine if normal police procedure was to have all involved parties watch each others questioning. There's a reason they are always separated. Except Hillary.
No reasonable person accepts that, except partisans and FAKE NEWS subscribers. And especially those who are both.
well look at you go, alky. like a kitten with a piece of yarn.
someone fat fingers their keyboard and misspells a word and you pounce.
meanwhile that same commenter manages to do something that's simply out of your reach - putting up comments that are their own, while you lean on your mastery to copy/paste like you lean on your walker and opiate prescription.
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump “Democrats can’t find a Smocking Gun tying the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey’s testimony. No Smocking Gun...No Collusion.” @FoxNews That’s because there was NO COLLUSION. So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution,...
While his own office call the Clinton email investigation appalling and unprecedented he sees it as a big nothingburger. Having 3 targets of an investigation sit in on the questioning of the lead target and giving immunity for nothing in return and destroying evidence that would validate either guilt or innocence is something he doesn't question. Imagine if normal police procedure was to have all involved parties watch each others questioning. There's a reason they are always separated. Except Hillary.
we need to have a law in politics that we refer to as "comey's law."
it goes like this -
there was a time when the left held up james comey as a shining beacon of truth and paragon of virtue. the basis for this was that time he rushed to john ashcroft's hospital bedside to prevent the evil bush/cheney cabal from doing whatever... something the left saw as a moral failing and opportunistically used as a political cudgel.
well, as we now know, comey is a lying piece of shit. a dirty corrupt cop, as dirty and corrupt as any law enforcement officer that has ever lived.
hence comey's law - if the left holds someone up as honest, truthful and beyond reproach, you can rest assured that person is a liar, a charlatan, and a walking piece of human garbage.
and in light of recent events i'd say comey's law applies to mueller as well.
No reasonable person accepts that, except partisans and FAKE NEWS
No reasonable person accepts the equivalency of the clinton tarmac meeting and the felonious action of the liar and chief and his spawn...If anyone should think he did not direct cohen to act on his behalf or believe for a nanosecond he did not know about the cash....has no idea how he ran his business as the smartest person on earth....just ask him LOLOL
Shocking how the goat fucker has stopped posting how great the dow indices are doing since they are now reflecting the morass trump has created....trillions of debt and shitty growth.....wonder why??????
No highly qualified candidates are available. They know that the job as the Chief of staff for this President is a death sentence for the foreseeable future. The Democrats will have the power of subpoena on the President. Including his tax returns. He's been the first President since Nixon has refused to publicly disclose his taxes. He keeps saying that they are going under review. It doesn't take two years to audit his tax returns.
Others seen as possible choices for chief of staff include the Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin; Mr. Trump’s budget director, Mick Mulvaney; and the United States trade representative, Robert Lighthizer.
None of them are experienced in this situation. Trump wants yes Mr. Trump loyalists. This is going to make it easier for the impeachment hearings. If they proceed.
Trump is going to be the first President to run for reelection during a recession since Carter.
The Blue Tsunami is going to hit the beach in 2020.
Now the liar in chief going from I never paid anything to those whores to it was a legal private transaction...I'm sure malodorous is enjoying the drip drip drip from her asshole hubby......
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump on Monday defended hush money payments reported by his former lawyer a day after Democrats said the U.S. president could face impeachment and jail time if the transactions are proven to be campaign finance violations.
Trump, in early morning tweets, said Democrats were wrongly targeting "a simple private transaction" after court filings last week drew renewed attention to six-figure payments by his personal lawyer to two women during the 2016 campaign so they would not discuss affairs with Trump.
On Sunday, U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler, who will lead the Judiciary Committee when Democrats take control of the House of Representatives next month, said if the payments were found to violate campaign finance laws it would be an impeachable offense.
His Democratic counterpart on the Intelligence Committee, Representative Adam Schiff, said Trump could be indicted and could "face the real prospect of jail time."
Under U.S. law, campaign contributions, defined as things of value given to a campaign to influence an election, must be disclosed. Such payments are also limited to $2,700 per person.
If the president ultimately turns to another candidate, potential choices include the Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin; his budget director, Mick Mulvaney; and the United States trade representative, Robert Lighthizer.
"President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for campaign reporting violations — one of the largest fees ever levied against a presidential campaign, POLITICO has learned.
The fine — laid out in detail in FEC documents that have yet to be made public ..."

We now know, based on today’s and other information released over recent weeks, that during this time Trump and members of his inner circle were in more or less constant contact with a long list of Russian government officials, intermediaries, intelligence officials and businessmen. This is in contrast to literally years of denials. But let’s not get stuck on the denials.
[...]
So, help from Russia in the form of hacking and propaganda, paired with offers of hugely lucrative business deals to Trump and repeated offers of political support. All the while candidate Trump supported Russia’s international agenda, repeatedly denied any Russian role in hacking his political opponents and pressed for an end of sanctions, which was Russia’s central foreign policy ambition.
Some things look very different in retrospect. Let’s look at one example, the notorious email exchange between Rob Goldstone and Don Jr on the morning of June 3rd, 2016.
Good morning
Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting.
The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.
This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump – helped along by Aras and Emin.
What do you think is the best way to handle this information and would you be able to speak to Emin about it directly?
I can also send this info to your father via Rhona, but it is ultra sensitive so wanted to send to you first.
Best
Rob Goldstone
Less than 20 minutes later …
Thanks Rob I appreciate that. I am on the road at the moment but perhaps I just speak to Emin first. Seems we have some time and if it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer. Could we do a call first thing next week when I am back?
Best,
Don
Look at that one line: “This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump …”

Only if you like reading the same cut and paste shit over and over again. Reduncy is boring as is you.
No head baked we don't know that. You're projecting your bullshit again.
OTOH, what we know I'd that the FISA warrant was based on unverified Hillary funded lies dressed up as an official report. No one deserves prison more than her.
The president has now stepped into the same territory that ultimately led to President Nixon resigning the office. President Nixon was an unindicted co-conspirator. Was certainly a different set of facts, but this investigation is now starting to put the president in serious legal crosshairs and he should be worried and the whole country should be worried.
Mueller is in the process of writing his final report, there are questions about when the final report will be made public.
“I would also counsel the special investigator to show his cards soon," Murphy said. "I mean I think it's important for the special investigator to give Congress what he has sometime early in 2019 so that Congress can make a determination. If the president did, in fact, collude with the Russians to try to manipulate the election, or engage in multiple felonies with Michael Cohen, it doesn't really make sense for congress to get that report from the special investigator in 2020, we need that next year. We need that as soon as possible."
All you're doing is parroting the baseless accusations coming from dems in congress. The left loves it. But America knows it's bullshit.
https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/sen-chris-murphy-mueller-probe-now-stage-clinton/story?id=59702470
The majority of Americans believe that the President has been in collusion with the Russians.
Only his stupid base believes your President. Trump castrated you.
No they don't. There's a reason why hr drew such huge crowds last month. Your ignorance is showing now more than ever.
The majority of Americans believe that the President has been in collusion with the Russians.
perhaps you could share the poll that supports this.
Only his stupid base believes your President. Trump castrated you.
psychologically projecting again i see.
it's the left that has castrated YOU, alky. we on the right still believe in due process, innocence until PROVEN guilty, and most importantly we understand that the court of public opinion, while sometimes fashionable to you clowns, is meaningless in this case. if the majority of americans DO believe that trump colluded with russia it should come as no surprise to anyone. the media has been peddling that bullshit for 30 months now. only those who've been in a coma all this time would not have an opinion to share. and if you're not a political junkie like us, then sure... if you've listened to fredo cuomo on CNN for more than two minutes then yeah, you're convinced that ORANGE MAN BAD.
oh, and regarding your intellect alky...
i'm with scott. i don't think you're nearly as intelligent as you claim. what i DO believe you possess is a gargantuan inferiority complex. hardly a week goes by that you don't brag about something around here. and if scott posts a story about someone achieving some level of greatness, then we have you to tell us that you've done it too, you've met this hero, you've been there and done that, or something that will compel you to seize the moment and try and make it about YOU.
the sum total of your contributions around here can be summed up in two words:
copy
paste
and what's ALWAYS missing from your plagiarized missives is your interpretation of what you've stolen, or a summary of how the ripped-off material informs YOUR opinion.
we get neither.
so to conclude... you're a fraud alky. and not a very bright one at that.
now get busy on those articles of impeachment, alky. trump's reelection campaign starts NOW, and there's no better way to fire up his base than to have you assholes try to take him out.
why did you leave out the best LIE of murphy's quote, alky?
Listen, nobody’s rooting for the president to go down in this manner. This isn’t good for democracy but this investigation may ultimately lead to Congress taking action.
what a tool.
fucking EVERYBODY on the democrat side is rooting for the president to go down in this manner.
isn't good for democracy?
what a fucking assclown. what WAS good for democracy was trump winning a free and fair election, and you fucking crybabies not being happy about how it turned out. you run the worst candidate in the history of the republic, she gets her fat, wrinkled ass kicked, and now you want a fucking do-over.

Individual 1 Is In Grave Danger
11:14 pm last night EST
Ken White:
“The president said on Twitter that Friday’s news ‘totally clears the President. Thank you!’
"It does not. Manafort and Cohen are in trouble, and so is Trump. The special counsel’s confidence in his ability to prove Manafort a liar appears justified, which leaves Manafort facing what amounts to a life sentence without any cooperation credit. The Southern District’s brief suggests that Cohen’s dreams of probation are not likely to come true.
“All three briefs show the special counsel and the Southern District closing in on President Trump and his administration. They’re looking into campaign contact with Russia, campaign-finance fraud in connection with paying off an adult actress, and participation in lying to Congress. A Democratic House of Representatives, just days away, strains at the leash to help. The game’s afoot.”
Treasa May failed to carry out the will off the People on Brexit. She failed on purpose to protect Globalist.

Mueller Has Already Issued Most of His Report
Marcy Wheeler: “Speculation has been building for months about the report that special counsel Robert Mueller is obligated to write under the regulation governing his appointment. When will it come out? Will Rudolph Giuliani really write a ‘rebuttal’ on President Trump’s behalf? Can the acting attorney general — whom Trump seems to have named to the job in a bid to exert more control over Mueller — or his replacement prevent the report from being made public, effectively burying whatever the investigation has found?”
“But Mueller has already been submitting his report, piece by piece, in indictments and other charging documents. He has hidden it in plain sight in the court dockets of individuals and organizations he has prosecuted. Many of those court papers have included far more detail than necessary to prove the culpability of defendants who have agreed to plead guilty. This isn’t just legal overkill on Mueller’s part — it’s the outlines of a sweeping narrative about the 2016 election.”
Tightening, tightening, tightening...
Dean Says Congress Will Be Forced to Begin Impeachment
i1:49 am EST
Former Nixon White House lawyer John Dean told CNN he thinks Congress will have “little choice” but to begin impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump following a Friday evening court filing involving Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen.
Said Dean: “In his allocution, he implicated Trump directly. And he was doing it, his instructions, that’s why the payments were made and they were for his benefit.”

Mueller Probe Moves Into Nixon Territory
11:26 am EST
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) told ABC News that the publicly available facts from special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe indicate President Trump’s actions are “beyond the stage” of what led to the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton.
Said Murphy: “The president has now stepped into the same territory that ultimately led to President Nixon resigning the office. President Nixon was an unindicted co-conspirator. Was certainly a different set of facts, but this investigation is now starting to put the president in serious legal crosshairs and he should be worried and the whole country should be worried.”

Christie Says Prosecutors Have Evidence Trump Broke Law
11:22 am EST
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) told ABC News that the language federal prosecutors are using to refer to President Trump in an indictment against Michael Cohen makes it sound as if they might have corroborating evidence that Trump violated campaign finance law.
Said Christie: “The language in the sentencing memo is different from what we’ve heard before. The only thing that would concern me if I was the president’s team this morning about this sentencing memo is the language.”
He added: “The language sounds very definite. And what I’d be concerned about is, what corroboration do they have?”

Schiff Says Trump Could Face Jail Time
11:18 am EST
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) told CBS News that President Trump might “face the real prospect of jail time” after prosecutors indicated last week that he directed illegal payments during his 2016 presidential campaign.
Said Schiff: “There’s a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him. That he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time.”

Beto O’Rourke Emerges as a Wildcard for Democrats
9:40 am EST
New York Times: “Rep. Beto O’Rourke has emerged as the wild card of the presidential campaign-in-waiting for a Democratic Party that lacks a clear 2020 front-runner. After a star-making turn in his close race against Sen. Ted Cruz, Mr. O’Rourke is increasingly serious about a 2020 run — a development that is rousing activists in early-voting states, leading veterans of former President Barack Obama’s political operation (and Mr. Obama himself) to offer their counsel and hampering would-be rivals who are scrambling to lock down influential supporters and strategists as future campaign staff.
“Advisers to other prospective Democratic candidates for 2020 acknowledge that Mr. O’Rourke is worthy of their concern. His record-setting success with small donors would test the grass-roots strength of progressives like Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Bernie Sanders. His sometimes saccharine call to summon the nation’s better angels would compete with the likely pitch of Sen. Cory Booker.
“And his appeal to some former Obama advisers — and, potentially, his electoral coalition of young people, women and often infrequent voters — could complicate a possible run for former Vice President Joe Biden, who would aim to win back many of his former boss’s constituencies.”
Rubio Warns Against Pardoning Manafort
9:18 am EST
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) told ABC News that President Trump pardoning former campaign chairman Paul Manafort would be a “terrible mistake,” and that doing so could possibly “trigger a debate about whether the pardon powers should be amended.”
Said Rubio: “I think that would be a terrible… I really do. I believe it’d be a terrible mistake. Pardons should be used judiciously. They’re used for cases with extraordinary circumstances.”

Russians Interacted with at Least 14 Trump Associates
3:21 pm EST
Washington Post: “Again and again and again, over the course of Donald Trump’s 18-month campaign for the presidency, Russian citizens made contact with his closest family and friends, as well as figures on the periphery of his orbit.
“Some offered to help his campaign and his real estate business. Some offered dirt on his Democratic opponent. Repeatedly, Russian nationals suggested Trump should hold a peacemaking sit-down with Vladimir Putin — and offered to broker such a summit.
“In all, Russians interacted with at least 14 Trump associates during the campaign and presidential transition, public records and interviews show."

trump cracks a joke, and the geniuses at the amazon post take him literally and seriously...
The special counsel’s filings have also revealed moments when Russia appeared to be taking cues from Trump. In July 2016, the then-GOP candidate said at a news conference, “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” referring to messages Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton had deleted from a private account. That day, the Russians made their first effort to break into servers used by Clinton’s personal office, according to court documents.

hey alky,
have you ever considered writing for the amazon post?
seriously. they could use a guy with your towering intellect. rapier wit, and cat-like politically intuitive reflexes.
It was breathtaking to see that someone who has the authority to tell the truth to the President has refused to take the job because the job would be a negative reflection on his character.
Trump follows his gut, not on the facts that are presented to him. Tillerson said the same thing. So have several others in public.
His lawyers can't stand Trump, his team he has six months ago are gone.
His turnover of staff and Cabinet officials is the highest in history in two years since his inauguration.
“In all, Russians interacted with at least 14 Trump associates during the campaign and presidential transition, public records and interviews show."
hey alky,
question for ya...
if this is such a big fucking deal, and it supposedly is because the brain trust at the amazon post is telling us it's a big fucking deal, why is mueller fucking around over hush money paid to a couple of whores?
you keep shouting "collusion" which is not a crime by the way. so did the whores collude with russia? did trump pay the whores in rubles? is cohen a russian jew? i knew some russian jews as a kid growing up. shrewd businessmen. do trump associates have some unpaid russian parking tickets that were "forgiven" from business trips over there?
help me out here alky. i'm just trying to understand what you guys have on trump, and exactly what's going to do him in.
oh and btw alky, you had better make damn sure trump doesn't win reelection. because if he does, that will mean you can't indict him until 2024, and the statute of limitations will have run out on the whore payments.
just trying to help you guys out alky.
From your copy and paste racist rodent bastard.
Ivanka’s husband, top campaign adviser Jared Kushner, as well as Trump’s campaign chairman Paul Manafort, his personal lawyer Michael Cohen and his longest-serving political adviser, Roger Stone, also had contact with Russian nationals.
Veterans of past White House bids said that so much interplay with representatives of a foreign adversary is highly unusual.
“This is different in kind than anything I have ever heard of before,” said Trevor Potter, who served as general counsel to Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign in 2008. McCain, he noted, traveled the globe as a member of the Senate, but his contacts with foreign government officials generally occurred in consultation with the State Department and involved questions of policy — not personal business or his own electoral concerns.
The number of known interactions has grown since last year, when The Washington Post tallied that at least nine Trump associates had contacts with Russians during the campaign or presidential transition.
At the time, then-White House lawyer Ty Cobb said, “I think the American public can fully appreciate that those are isolated, obviously disconnected events, quite small in number for a presidential campaign.”
Trump attorney Jay Sekulow declined to comment on Sunday.
The president has repeatedly denied that people close to him coordinated with Russia, tweeting frequently, “NO COLLUSION!”
New court documents filed by Mueller’s prosecutors in the past two weeks revealed the Russian outreach was more extensive than previously known.
The story shows that the President has been in contact with the Russians in the campaign and after the election.
It was breathtaking to see that someone who has the authority to tell the truth to the President has refused to take the job because the job would be a negative reflection on his character.
breathtaking.
really?
you mean like it literally took your breath away?
are you sure it wasn't just from the exertion of pushing your walker from the living room to the kitchen?
i mean, someone turning down a job is hardly breathtaking alky.
i've turned down jobs before. it just wasn't that big of a deal. certainly nothing i'd refer to as breathtaking.
The angry white guy from Buffalo New York just can't believe that real people don't agree with his racist beliefs. Jimmy is a loser who is a low level player in a telephone company. He can't stand the guys who do the hard work to keep the company online. They are union members who make more than he does and have superior benefits.

Nick Ayers, President Trump’s top choice to replace John F. Kelly as chief of staff, has declined to take the job, according to three people familiar with the talks.
Mr. Ayers, 36, the chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence, is expected to leave the administration in the coming weeks as his family returns to Georgia, according to people familiar with his plans.
That leaves it unclear who will take the top West Wing job as Mr. Trump enters the 2020 campaign confronting growing danger from the special counsel investigation into Russian election interference and from Democrats who have vowed tougher oversight after they take control of the House next month.
Mr. Ayers had told the president that he would do the job on an interim basis, through the spring. But Mr. Trump wants a permanent chief of staff as he heads into the fight of his political life.
No highly qualified candidates are available. They know that the job as the Chief of staff for this President is a death sentence for the foreseeable future.

and be sure to share the thrilling story of your conquest at your next alcoholics anonymous gathering. perhaps at the christmas party. you guys DO have a christmas party no? or is it too much of a temptation to imbibe of the demon rum? us normals who can enjoy the stuff without our lives turning into a dumpster fire complete with a liver transplant are never quite sure of these things.
shuffle that walker with pride, alky. head held high, as you shuffle off to bed, declaring victory, in all its splendor and glory. ask mail order for an extra opioid this evening. it's cause for celebration! perhaps some new tennis balls for the walker are in order. i mean, this is, as joe biden would say, a big fucking deal.

Truman (1946-52), 1.7%
Obama (2009-15), 1.5%"
Since Jimmy Carter is correct.
So?
Carter lost.
So will Trump if he actually runs for a second term. He might try again to avoid getting thrown in jail.
Obama ran for reelection in the middle of the longest economic recovery in history.
I didn't say the largest recovery. I stated earlier that it was the longest economic recovery in history.
Kput'z go fuck Daisy. She's mooing for you and your tiny dick.
New York (CNN) Former FBI Director James Comey asked American voters Sunday night to end Donald Trump's presidency with a "landslide" victory for his opponent in 2020.
"All of us should use every breath we have to make sure the lies stop on January 20, 2021," Comey told an audience at the 92nd Street Y on New York City's Upper East Side. He all but begged Democrats to set aside their ideological differences and nominate the person best suited to defeating Trump in an election.
"I understand the Democrats have important debates now over who their candidate should be," Comey told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, "but they have to win. They have to win."
Over the course of more than an hour, Comey repeatedly derided Trump's character, again likening the atmosphere around the President to what he saw in prosecuting mafia figures and suggested that Trump's tweets could eventually amount to witness tampering. Asked if Trump might be an unindicted co-conspirator in some of the crimes recently described by special counsel Robert Mueller, Comey said he didn't know, "but if he's not there, he's certainly close."
Still, Comey said he hoped that Trump would be swept out of office without being impeached. Framing the rise of Trumpism as a political ill the country needed to exorcise at the ballot, he expressed a hope that Americans would "in a landslide rid ourselves of this attack on our values."
"Removal by impeachment would muddy that," he said, and potentially leave a third of the country feeling like their chosen leader had been removed in a "coup."
Trump's decision to fire Comey in May 2017 was a key factor in the appointment of Mueller, who was handed the job by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in the aftermath of Comey's dismissal and the subsequent leak of a memo in which he recounted Trump asking that he end an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn. In a book and in public statements, Comey has become a leading critic of Trump -- and Trump has berated him in turn, relentlessly and usually on Twitter.
Trump, without evidence, accuses James Comey of lying to House Judiciary Committee
Trump, without evidence, accuses James Comey of lying to House Judiciary Committee
Hours earlier, Trump attacked Comey in a pair of testy morning tweets, claiming without evidence that the former FBI chief had lied on Friday in his testimony to the House Judiciary and Oversight committees.
"Leakin' James Comey must have set a record for who lied the most to Congress in one day. His Friday testimony was so untruthful!," Trump wrote, adding in a second post: "On 245 occasions, former FBI Director James Comey told House investigators he didn't know, didn't recall, or couldn't remember things when asked."
Comey laughed at the idea Trump had even looked over the actual testimony, joking to Wallace before she could read the tweets, "He's finished reading the 253 pages?"
After hearing the words out loud, he turned serious.
"My reaction to it is actually disturbing to me, which is kind of, 'Eh, there he goes again.' I thought I was 'Lyin' James Comey' now I'm 'Leakin' James Comey'. But I kind of shrug and sometimes smile and laugh about it and then I have a secondary reaction, which is to be horrified at my own numb reaction," Comey said. "We have to remind ourselves the President of the United States of America is publicly announcing that people are committing crimes, that they should be in jail."
Asked if Trump's tweets could be viewed as witness tampering, Comey answered carefully -- insisting he had no insight into Mueller's thinking.
"I'm not prepared to judge it," Comey said, "but again, if I were prosecuting a case in the Southern District of New York and a prominent person started attacking my witnesses, I'd want to know so what's going on there and does that cross the line from free speech, which we have to keep protected, into something else?"
Comey says firing Mueller alone won't derail investigations
Comey says firing Mueller alone won't derail investigations
Speaking about the period before the 2016 election, Comey was unsparing of Republican congressional leaders who he said opposed making public intelligence community concerns over Russian interference.
"To their everlasting shame, the leaders -- (Senate Majority Leader Mitch) McConnell, (House Speaker Paul) Ryan -- refused," Comey said. "I think they're going to have a hard time explaining that to history."
He had kinder words for former President Barack Obama, describing the Democrat as a foil to Trump in almost every way.
"I was struck that Barack Obama is the best listener as a leader I had ever seen and Donald Trump is the worst I've ever seen," Comey said. "Obama had the confidence to be quiet and try and get that. Donald Trump is a deeply, deeply insecure person, so I don't see any prospect that he would be able to be quiet for long enough to hear the truth."

This is problably more true than all crap Roger has put up.
Mueller’s Flynn Sentencing Memo Is Another Dud for the Resistance
This week, rabid anti-Trump voices in the media are giving the “this is it!” treatment to Mueller’s latest “bombshell”: the sentencing memo his Special Counsel’s Office had to submit for Gen. Michael Flynn, the former national security advisor whose family Mueller has harassed and threatened for almost two Years.
The sentencing memo is just another complete failure on Mueller’s part to produce anything related to the supposed reason for his appointment: the non-existent “collusion” between the Trump campaign and Russian hackers. It contains evidence of nothing except the fact that Mueller’s entire investigation is a vindictive, partisan farce intended to overturn the legitimate result of the 2016 presidential election that sent Donald Trump to the White House.
The memo recommends that the judge give Flynn a light sentence as a reward for the “substantial assistance” he provided to Mueller’s investigation. Liberals are treating that recommendation as if it could only have been given in exchange for the real goods, the bombshell that’s going to finally take President Trump down.
That’s completely wrong and misleading, just like every other gleeful prediction they’ve made about the President’s impending demise.
The federal sentencing guidelines in Flynn’s case call for 0-6 months -- exactly what Mueller is “graciously” recommending. Mueller did Flynn no favors. Quite to the contrary, the only reason Flynn is facing any threat to his liberty is Mueller’s insistence on prosecuting him -- and more importantly threatening his son with prosecution -- over “crimes” that would have been thrown out by any ethical prosecutor the moment they crossed his desk.
Worst case of prosecutorial abuse I've ever seen and I thought Scooter Libby got a raw deal.
Macron pleads with union leaders in a bid to placate Yellow Vest protesters ahead of TV address this evening as Russia denies allegations it has whipped up riots on social media
French President Emmanuel Macron met with union bosses, politicians and business leaders on Monday as he prepared to speak to the =nation amid violent protests and calls for him to resign.
Macron's televised address, due at 8pm local time (7pm GMT), will mark the first time he has spoken in more than a week despite riots gripping Paris and spreading to other cities. The
As the French president prepared to face down his critics, Russia was forced to deny claims it had whipped up the riots on social media, calling the claim 'slanderous.'
The Russian had nothing to do with it nor did they need too. This is a standard dodge by the liberal socialist elite when the people rebell against their tyranist rule.
The truth of the matter is that the French people know climate change is a scam for the elite to take more money to support their lavish lifestyle at the expense of the average taxpayer.
And with 70% of the French supporting the protesters, climate taxes at the expense of the poor and middle class are not going to fly.
Naco-President was shown a lot of love at the Army-Navy Game.

$17 MILLION and counting of taxpayer money used to pay off congressional accusers, but when trump pays whores out of his own pocket, that's a crime.

If Inspector Jacques Clouseau was evil he would be James Comey. In the transcript it reveals that while he took unprecedented actions after the Clinton/Lynch tarmac meeting he never directed anyone to look into it. He can't remember anything, you wonder how he ever was able to write a book unless it was fiction. And you need to add on the many times his lawyers wouldn't even allow him to answer "he didn't remember" by telling him not to answer.
While his own office call the Clinton email investigation appalling and unprecedented he sees it as a big nothingburger. Having 3 targets of an investigation sit in on the questioning of the lead target and giving immunity for nothing in return and destroying evidence that would validate either guilt or innocence is something he doesn't question. Imagine if normal police procedure was to have all involved parties watch each others questioning. There's a reason they are always separated. Except Hillary.
No reasonable person accepts that, except partisans and FAKE NEWS subscribers. And especially those who are both.

we need to have a law in politics that we refer to as "comey's law."
it goes like this -
there was a time when the left held up james comey as a shining beacon of truth and paragon of virtue. the basis for this was that time he rushed to john ashcroft's hospital bedside to prevent the evil bush/cheney cabal from doing whatever... something the left saw as a moral failing and opportunistically used as a political cudgel.
well, as we now know, comey is a lying piece of shit. a dirty corrupt cop, as dirty and corrupt as any law enforcement officer that has ever lived.
hence comey's law - if the left holds someone up as honest, truthful and beyond reproach, you can rest assured that person is a liar, a charlatan, and a walking piece of human garbage.
and in light of recent events i'd say comey's law applies to mueller as well.
Smocking gun?
No reasonable person accepts that, except partisans and FAKE NEWS
No reasonable person accepts the equivalency of the clinton tarmac meeting and the felonious action of the liar and chief and his spawn...If anyone should think he did not direct cohen to act on his behalf or believe for a nanosecond he did not know about the cash....has no idea how he ran his business as the smartest person on earth....just ask him LOLOL

No highly qualified candidates are available. They know that the job as the Chief of staff for this President is a death sentence for the foreseeable future. The Democrats will have the power of subpoena on the President. Including his tax returns. He's been the first President since Nixon has refused to publicly disclose his taxes. He keeps saying that they are going under review. It doesn't take two years to audit his tax returns.
Others seen as possible choices for chief of staff include the Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin; Mr. Trump’s budget director, Mick Mulvaney; and the United States trade representative, Robert Lighthizer.
None of them are experienced in this situation. Trump wants yes Mr. Trump loyalists. This is going to make it easier for the impeachment hearings. If they proceed.
Trump is going to be the first President to run for reelection during a recession since Carter.
The Blue Tsunami is going to hit the beach in 2020.
Now the liar in chief going from I never paid anything to those whores to it was a legal private transaction...I'm sure malodorous is enjoying the drip drip drip from her asshole hubby......
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump on Monday defended hush money payments reported by his former lawyer a day after Democrats said the U.S. president could face impeachment and jail time if the transactions are proven to be campaign finance violations.
Trump, in early morning tweets, said Democrats were wrongly targeting "a simple private transaction" after court filings last week drew renewed attention to six-figure payments by his personal lawyer to two women during the 2016 campaign so they would not discuss affairs with Trump.
On Sunday, U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler, who will lead the Judiciary Committee when Democrats take control of the House of Representatives next month, said if the payments were found to violate campaign finance laws it would be an impeachable offense.
His Democratic counterpart on the Intelligence Committee, Representative Adam Schiff, said Trump could be indicted and could "face the real prospect of jail time."
Under U.S. law, campaign contributions, defined as things of value given to a campaign to influence an election, must be disclosed. Such payments are also limited to $2,700 per person.
give maggie credit for what you ripped off alky...
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/08/us/politics/john-kelly-chief-staff-trump.html
If the president ultimately turns to another candidate, potential choices include the Treasury secretary, Steven Mnuchin; his budget director, Mick Mulvaney; and the United States trade representative, Robert Lighthizer.
