ReplyDelete"“For Flynn, the fact the Mueller was not afraid to charge the long-dormant FARA statute is really, really bad news,”When Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein made Mueller the special counsel of the Russia probe on May 17 of this year, he gave him an extraordinarily broad mandate: to investigate
“any links and/or coordination” between the Russian government and Trump campaign associates, and “any matters that arose or may arise” from that investigation."
“For example, if Trump himself was engaged in tax fraud and money laundering involving the Russians, that obviously could be relevant to whether or not he had a motive to facilitate any quote ‘collusion’ that may have happened,”
In August, Jay Sekulow—the spokesperson for the president’s legal team—told The New Yorker that the White House would consider a real estate deal that Trump made in the COUNTRY of GEORGIA to be “out of scope” of the Mueller probe."
"It’s unclear what a court challenge of the scope of Mueller’s investigation could look like. But Mueller’s targets took a major hit on Monday.
Don’t be surprised if they strike back."

Roger Stone, the racist dirty trickster and informal adviser to Donald Trump, has revealed the real reason the right wing is trying to dredge up old debunked conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a deliberate and terribly desperate smokescreen to get special counsel Robert Mueller off Trump’s back.
In an interview with the right-wing Daily Caller, Stone says Trump’s “only chance for survival” is to demand baseless investigations into Clinton to distract from the very real investigations into the Trump campaign.
Stone went on to theorize that “Mueller can’t be a special prosecutor when he himself is under investigation.” Mueller is not in fact under investigation, but Stone went further, insisting “Mueller is guilty of obstruction and cover up in Uranium One.”
Congressional Republicans recently showed once again that the loud voices of talk radio and online conservative opinion coupled with Trump are their true masters, after they announced probes into the trumped-up conspiracy desperately trying to link Clinton to the sale of uranium production to a Russian concern. But the scandal has long since been debunked.
Conservatives like Stone have become enraged by the Russia investigation, as the special counsel recently indicted two Trump campaign officials and accepted a guilty plea from a third. It is widely believed that Mueller is working to find more wrongdoing by other members of the Trump inner circle.

Won’t work. Robert Mueller has a job and he is focused on that.
DeleteIf they want another Hillary witch hunt, they’ll have to hire their own special prosecutor. Although not sure what they hope to accomplish. Impeach her? LOL.
She can't be impeached since she lost the Presidential race in an embarrassing landslide. Talk about a blowout eh?

CNN anchor nails Rick Santorum for “spitting” lies about Russia guilty plea
ReplyDeleteFormer Republican Sen. Rick Santorum and current CNN commentator floated an absurd cover story for the unfolding Russia scandal. Chris Cuomo wasn't buying it.
Desperate Republicans surrogates are doing their best to spin away the deeply damaging news from Monday that a former foreign policy adviser to the Donald Trump campaign has already pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI with regard to the Russia investigation.
But some Trump defenders are going even further and aggressively crossing over from spin into pure fabrications. When former Republican Sen. Rick Santorum tried to do that on CNN Tuesday morning, host Chris Cuomo called him out for the obvious lies that he was “spitting.”
“Everybody is entitled to their own opinion,” Cuomo stressed. “Not their own facts.”

GOP nominee runs crying to Fox because his blatantly racist campaign is backfiring
ReplyDeleteVirginia Republican gubernatorial nominee Ed Gillespie may have believed that he could emulate Donald Trump, run a racist campaign in a southern state, and simply waltz into the governor’s mansion.
But his Democratic opponent, Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, is making it very hard for the former lobbyist.
And a new ad from the Latino Victory Fund offers a glimpse of the nightmare scenario that Gillespie has been banging the drums for over the course of his campaign.
The ad shows black, Latino, and Muslim children confronting the fallout of Gillespie’s brand of bigotry, as they run through the streets of their neighborhood to escape a pick-up truck flying a Confederate flag.
At the end of the ad, the children all wake up in their beds, as the voiceover asks, “Is this what Donald Trump and Ed Gillespie mean by the American dream?”

Watch a Trump crony spin the indictments so badly he gets called out by Fox News
ReplyDeleteFormer Trump campaign official and surrogate Corey Lewandowski says the FBI should have warned the campaign that Paul Manafort was under secret surveillance — an assertion so ridiculous, even Fox News isn't buying it.
On Tuesday morning, Lewandowski appeared on “Fox & Friends” to assert that Trump was not to blame for hiring Manafort because the FBI did not tell the campaign Manafort was under investigation. It was an argument so ludicrous that even Fox host Steve Doocy — usually one of the most reliable promoters of Trump spin — questioned it:
Video
...The idea that the FBI had any sort of responsibility to inform the Trump team that its new hire was under highly classified surveillance shows just how desperate the Trump team is to spin the damning indictments. FISA warrants deal with people connected to hostile foreign actors and are sealed for national security reasons. Disclosing that information could have tipped Manafort’s overseas backers to cover their tracks, and prevented him from being caught.
In any event, the idea that Trump could never have anticipated Manafort would have legal or ethical issues is ridiculous.

Paul Manafort’s Daughter Texted Friends About How Tight Her Dad Was With Trump
ReplyDelete“Him and Trump are perfect allies.”
The following texts, sent by Manafort Shand to her sister, Jessica Manafort, and to friends and discovered by the website Krypt3ia earlier this year, offer a markedly different understanding of the Trump/Manafort relationship than the president and his allies are attempting to sell. (Manafort previously confirmed the authenticity of several of the texts to Politico.)
The texts have been lightly edited for grammar and clarity.
March 17, 2016: The Manafort daughters claim Trump asked their father to run his campaign.
Jessica Manafort: Guess who called Dad last night and asked him to run his convention.
Andrea Manafort Shand: Mom told me he was going to call dad. She told me to get ready for Trump to be president and pick the position in the White House I want.
JM: Dad gave him his list of requirements and so long as he can fulfill the list, Dad accepted.
March 29: Even before he was announced as campaign chairman, her father’s role was much larger than the public knew, Manafort Shand claims.

People Are Officially Done With John Kelly After His ‘Absurd’ Civil War Comments
ReplyDeleteThe White House chief of staff blamed the war on a “lack of compromise.”
John Kelly, chief of staff to President Donald Trump, angered many on Monday when he told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that the Civil War was caused by a “lack of ability to compromise.”
Kelly had been seen by some as a voice of reason in the White House. But his latest comments may have burned up whatever goodwill he had among the president’s critics:

DeleteRobert E. Lee Descendant Calls Trump Chief Of Staff John Kelly’s Civil War Comments Ignorant
ReplyDeleteThe Rev. Rob Lee, an indirect descendant of Gen. Robert E. Lee, called White House Chief of Staff John Kelly’s false praise for Lee and the Confederacy ignorant.
Kelly put forward a historically inaccurate and racist view of the Confederacy and the Civil War on Fox News, “I would tell you that Robert E. Lee was an honorable man. “He was a man that gave up his country to fight for his state, which 150 years ago was more important than country. It was always loyalty to state first back in those days. Now it’s different today. But the lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War, and men and women of good faith on both sides made their stand where their conscience had them make their stand.”
Rev. Lee spoke out both to The Washington Post, and on Twitter.
Rob Lee told the Post, “It is clear to me that General Kelly sees honor in a man who fought for continued enslavement of people and chattel slavery. That is, after all, what states’ rights was for. There is no honor in that to me. John Kelly would be best to keep our president from tweeting and enacting racist policies, rather than engaging in a debate over the racist past of the South.”

It’s a Crime If Bannon Is Advising Trump to Defund Mueller on Behalf of Breitbart
ReplyDeleteFormer White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is reportedly pressuring President Trump to "defang" Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Trump Russia probe by defunding it instead of firing him, according to a Politico report.
The problem with this, aside from the obvious ethical issues and the weird push to shutdown an investigation over Russia’s interference in the U.S. election when Trump and many Republicans claim it didn’t happen is that Bannon is currently the executive chair of Breitbart News.
Attorney Walter M. Shaub Jr., former head of the Office of Government Ethics, pointed out that if Bannon is doing this advising on behalf of Breitbart, it is a crime.

Trump Gets A Halloween Fright As Support For His Impeachment Reaches A Record High
ReplyDeleteAccording to Public Policy Polling, “PPP’s newest national poll finds a record level of support for impeaching Donald Trump. 49% of voters support impeaching him, to 41% who are opposed to doing so. This marks the 6th month in a row we’ve found a plurality of voters in favor of impeaching Trump, and it’s the closest we’ve found to a majority. Trump’s approval rating has declined by a net 7 points in the last month. In September we found him at a -11 spread with 42% of voters approving of him to 53% who disapproved. Now he’s at -18 with 38% of voters approving of him to 56% who disapprove.”
