billvon 2,991 #976 July 24, 2017 rushmc***Two signs that Trump is feeling the same kind of panic as his supporters: After he found out that Mueller was looking into his tax returns he panicked and threatened him that he better not cross that "red line" - and has started to try to discredit him as he does his job. It looks like he may even try to fire him, which would be his death knell, as it was Nixon's. And perhaps an even stronger sign of his panic - he has started to ask if he can pardon himself if he is convicted of a crime. So don't feel bad, Marc. You're not alone. It is fun watching you prove you have no idea of how the special council process is supposed to work. If you are going to try the arrogance approach, it helps if you can spell the process you claim to be an expert in. QuoteThere are to be specific guidelines given to the special council that limits what he can look into unless he comes across evidence of anther crime. At to start, the special council is to be investigation evidence of crime. Ken Starr started off by looking in to Travelgate; he ended up finding a blue dress. And Republicans cheered him on. Where will Mueller end up going? Sexual assault? Tax fraud? Money laundering? It will be fun to watch (and to watch you spin.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,991 #979 July 24, 2017 New connections between Kushner and Russian crime organizations. Turns out Kushner got a lot of money from Russian criminals, and indeed it looks like the Russians were using projects like his to launder their stolen money. During this time, Trump fired the person attempting to stop the money laundering; US laws can apparently interfere with Trump family profits when they conflict with Russian interests. Drip drip . . . ============================ Jared Kushner sealed real estate deal with oligarch's firm cited in money-laundering case Wendy Dent and Ed Pilkington in New York and Shaun Walker in Moscow Monday 24 July 2017 Guardian Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of Donald Trump, who acts as his senior White House adviser, secured a multimillion-dollar Manhattan real estate deal with a Soviet-born oligarch whose company was cited in a major New York money laundering case now being investigated by members of Congress. A Guardian investigation has established a series of overlapping ties and relationships involving alleged Russian money laundering, New York real estate deals and members of Trump’s inner circle. They include a 2015 sale of part of the old New York Times building in Manhattan involving Kushner and a billionaire real estate tycoon and diamond mogul, Lev Leviev. The ties between Trump family real estate deals and Russian money interests are attracting growing interest from the justice department’s special counsel, Robert Mueller, as he seeks to determine whether the Trump campaign collaborated with Russia to distort the outcome of the 2016 race. Mueller has reportedly expanded his inquiry to look at real estate deals involving the Trump Organization, as well as Kushner’s financing. . . . Leviev, a global tycoon known as the “king of diamonds”, was a business partner of the Russian-owned company Prevezon Holdings that was at the center of a multimillion-dollar lawsuit launched in New York. Under the leadership of US attorney Preet Bharara, who was fired by Trump in March, prosecutors pursued Prevezon for allegedly attempting to use Manhattan real estate deals to launder money stolen from the Russian treasury. The scam had been uncovered by Sergei Magnitsky, an accountant who died in 2009 in a Moscow jail in suspicious circumstances. US sanctions against Russia imposed after Magnitsky’s death were a central topic of conversation at the notorious Trump Tower meeting last June between Kushner, Donald Trump Jr, Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and a Russian lawyer with ties to the Kremlin. Jamison Firestone, the founder of the Russian law firm that employed Magnitsky at the time that he exposed the fraud, said that Veselnitskaya clearly intended to use the Trump Tower meeting to lobby against the Magnitsky sanctions. “They really made it a state priority to get rid of these sanctions,” he said.

yoink 321 #988 July 26, 2017 Trump's twitter account. Kushner's room service call last night. Sorry - I thought we were just listing random conversations... Come on - you're asserting that somewhere in Comey's congressional testimony he's provided evidence that would justify further investigations into Hillary Clinton, despite him saying otherwise last year. All I'm asking is that you provide that data - with the context, please. What is driving you to this conclusion that a new investigation would somehow turn up something new that the dozen others haven't? Bill has provided evidence of Comey stating on the record that "we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July" - that being that there was no crime committed. Do you not accept that?

There were crimes committed! Comey stated as much. Never before has ANY FBI director came out publicly as Comey did. THAT is the biggest reason he got fired IMO! And Comey tried to re-create the statue by saying there was no intent. There is nothing in the statute the speaks to intend. Thinks about, we have a nuke sub sailor that is in jail for 6 years for taking two pictures inside the sub. Do you think he had any intent to cause problems? And we have a case where classified material was shared with a girlfriend. Petraeus got in trouble for that. Hillary got a political pass. Period. She committed multiple felonies as outlined by Comey's statements and testimony.

Two Washington watchdog groups accused Trump and his workers of illegally deleting emails, official records and even tweets sent to millions of people. "President Trump and others within the White House are either ignoring or outright flouting these responsibilities,” the civil complaint from the National Security Archive and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) says. The deletions could be a violation of the Presidential Records Act, which says White House internal communications must be preserved. . . .
