It's up on lyin' CNN now too. Wonder if Mueller is hoping Manafort runs, seeing as he probably has all the dirt he needs from him.

I wonder...is Mueller working up to a Christmas present for all of us (especially for the country), or is this just fake news? Hmmmmmm...I’m hoping for the former.
by CVille Dem on Fri, 12/01/2017 - 10:33am
My opinion Cville is that Mueller is a grooler
He will never ever stop looking, investigating, interrogating.
And that is what is good for the good ole US of A

Very interesting! Especially as traditionally, I suspect this kind of disciplined and religious self-definition would appeal to many conservatives.

So here's what Breitbart is up to on it. This is their headline story right now. The point is much larger and is interspersed with two emoticons of guys wearing crowns (which I can't get to paste here.) Suggests Jared should be the fall guy?

A reminder that the country continues to run, and that presidents don't have that much power, and that this one in particular seems only to have the power to distract with culture wars issues:
Western governors shrug off Flynn furor
Hours after the news broke Friday, some governors weren’t even aware of the plea deal that rocked Washington.

ABC News got this one point wrong, only noticed it because it is the # 1 most read story at Politico right now
ABC News draws fire for erroneous Trump-Flynn report
The network corrected its faulty report, which drew widespread criticism and a skewering from conservative commentators about 'fake news.'

Michael Flynn’s Guilty Plea Sends Trump’s Lawyers Scrambling
The President insists that the investigations into Russian meddling amount to nothing more than fake news. But the truth is now emerging.

WaPo: Transition team conspired and colluded
by PeraclesPlease on Sun, 12/03/2017 - 6:14am
NYT: Trump campaign colluded w NRA & Moscow for support. via Trump team's Rick Dearborn, Erickson was the go-between for Trump group & NRA, arranging a meetup at Louisville convention in mid-2016, having been compromised by Russia at least since his 2014 trip to Moscow.
Elsewhere NRA is known for being feted by dodgy Russian groups in Russia. Christian Conservative groups also indicated in this equation, though still a lot of threads to pull.
Big question is whether Russian money was funneled through NRA for Trump campaign.

You are a liar. Trump has been dragging his feet on agreeing to impose sanctions on Russia. Congress forced his hand. If you are going to lie at least choose a topic that is not so easily disproven. Of course you could post links to prove your point, but you don’t post links because you know that you are lying. You used to at least be amusing. Now your posts are just pathetic.
Edit to add:
If I were a Trump sycophant like you, I would worry about obstruction of justice charges for Orange Hitler more than collusion.

Senate passes Russia sanctions bill, pushing back against Trump
... the administration had expressed a hope it could improve relations with Moscow......."We moved to make the Congress, not the President, the final arbiter of sanctions relief when necessary," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said. "Any idea of the President that he can lift sanctions on his own for whatever reason are dashed by this legislation."
House vote - 419 - 3
Senate - 98 - 2
Peter, did you like the billionaire 1% tax cuts, and the new GOP tax on gift certificates bosses give to workers at Christmas? At least they closed that loophole!

Liar, you said Trump levied sanctions against the Russians now you say that he signed a flawed bill because of Congress. The contortions you go through to praise Trump must be causing your nose to constantly turn darker shades of brown.

You should stick with just insulting people. When you attempt to discuss policy your ignorance is too apparent and easily proved.

Flynn wore wire? Maybe.
by PeraclesPlease on Sun, 12/03/2017 - 5:32pm

The article is speculating on whether Flynn wore a wire for the Mueller investigation. That is a different kettle of fish from proposing the ubiquity of Deep State™. In the first case, the recording can be used as evidence in a court of law or Congressional review. In the second case, not so much.

The facts are that the investigation isn't a witch hunt. A witch hunt is when innocents are pursued. Both Papadopoulos and Flynn have pled guilty so they are not innocent. Manafort and Gates has been credibly charged with money laundering. Perhaps that's all there is or perhaps the speculation is correct that there's more and it goes further and deeper. Given the situation with the plea deals it's likely there's more. How much more we still don't know. You can attempt to make the argument that the crimes are trivial but with the guilty pleas it's clear this is not a witch hunt.

Obstruction of justice
by rmrd0000 on Mon, 12/04/2017 - 11:39am
Orange Hitler’s lawyers are arguing that Trump can’t obstruct justice because he is President. Trump argues the Nixon excuse. Are all Trump supporters this unaware of the facts?

Nixon was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Watergate coverup before he was impeached.

So speaking of witch hunts, did you know that Roy Cohn was an important mentor to Trump?
And don't you think this deep state FBI switcheroo plot now aiding and abetting snowflake sympathizers is kind of surprising after so many decades of persecuting the left? Who are they trying to aid and protect, left of center billionaires? Everything upside down! Who's in charge here?
by artappraiser on Mon, 12/04/2017 - 7:35pm
If it was stupid to make false statements to the FBI because there were no crimes committed then it was also stupid to fire Comey because he was hell bent on investigating people who did nothing wrong. That stupidity led to Mueller being named Special Counsel for the stupid reason that none of the Republicans in the House or Senate wanted to be responsible for the fallout from investigating Russian interference in the election so they pushed it on to the DOJ.
Your team doesn't appear to be very intelligent if it is in fact the case that all these reports of partnering with a foreign power to win the election are completely untrue. A smarter team would have revealed the innocuous quality of this virtuous administration from the get go and made fools of the political opportunists that would bring them low.

Manafort is so stupid that he was working to publish an article in Russia using a man with ties to Russian intelligence.

I haven't read anywhere that the FBI had nearly completed the investigation of Manafort and Gates. I think you're full of shit. But even if that's true it doesn't make Muller's investigation a witch hunt. It's still a credible charge and not a witch hunt. Credible enough that Manafort had to put up two houses worth 11.5 million to get bail. It's possible that Papadopoulos and Flynn had no reason to lie to the FBI and did it just for shits and grins. At this point we can only speculate as to their reasons for lying. But they did plead guilty to lying which is punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
You want to call it a witch hunt to attempt to diminish the investigation. You might have been able to hold that opinion when it started but now that is factually incorrect. It's a credible investigation that has already obtained guilty pleas from two men and charged two others with money laundering and other crimes. The dictionary is your friend, Peter, you really should use it so you don't sound like an idiot. There's spin and speculation from both sides that this is all there is or that these guilty pleas indicate that more is coming. I'd bet on the latter but usually I don't spin. I just wait and see.

Sure, let's leak a forward looking covert clause" to the world after Flynn's broken off his relations with his colleagues - makes lots of horse sense. "Hey, Mike Flynn, come on in - keep your coat on, let's talk about what really went diwn last December..."
