Today's Russian lie exposed - Natalia Veselnitskaya (who Junior met with) claimed she wasn't connected to the KGB (now called the FSB) in any way. Turns out she worked for them for eight years, while Putin was in charge of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,991 #954 July 21, 2017 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.

kallend 2,027 #955 July 21, 2017 Yeah, right. Veiled threats to Mueller and Rosenstein, "red line" on his finances, refusing to release his tax returns after promising that he would, insulting Sessions, secret meeting with Putin, lawyering up, and inquiring about pardons are all sure signs that Trump is a person with nothing to hide....

If Hillary is a criminal because she deleted emails EVEN IF the FBI decided to not charge or prosecute, then Jr is also a criminal even if he is never charged or prosecuted, using exactly the same logic and standard.

billvon 2,991 #958 July 22, 2017 >It's becoming very clear that Trump is very afraid of that "nothing burger" biting his ass very soon. Another slice of "nothingburger" for Trump supporters: ==================================== Sessions discussed Trump campaign-related matters with Russian ambassador, U.S. intelligence intercepts show By Adam Entous July 21 at 6:51 PM WaPo Russia’s ambassador to Washington told his superiors in Moscow that he discussed campaign-related matters, including policy issues important to Moscow, with Jeff Sessions during the 2016 presidential race, contrary to public assertions by the embattled attorney general, according to current and former U.S. officials. Ambassador Sergey Kislyak’s accounts of two conversations with Sessions — then a top foreign policy adviser to Republican candidate Donald Trump — were intercepted by U.S. spy agencies, which monitor the communications of senior Russian officials both in the United States and in Russia. Sessions initially failed to disclose his contacts with Kislyak and then said that the meetings were not about the Trump campaign. One U.S. official said that Sessions — who testified that he has no recollection of an April encounter — has provided “misleading” statements that are “contradicted by other evidence.” A former official said that the intelligence indicates that Sessions and Kislyak had “substantive” discussions on matters including Trump’s positions on Russia-related issues and prospects for U.S.-Russia relations in a Trump administration. ======================================= Remember six months ago when Trump supporters were claiming that there were no connections between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin? Lately the question has become "is there anyone in the Trump administration who HASN'T colluded with Russia?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the very least, with his constant need for new infusions of cash and his well-documented troubles with creditors, Trump made an easy “mark” for anyone looking to launder money. But whatever his knowledge about the source of his wealth, the public record makes clear that Trump built his business empire in no small part with a lot of dirty money from a lot of dirty Russians—including the dirtiest and most feared of them all. Above from story. It mirrors what the Atlantic reported about trump. his dealings with dirty Russian money and Russian mobsters. All written about prior to the election. It also may explain trumps fascination with Putin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is fun watching you prove you have no idea of how the special council process is supposed to work. There 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. Of which there is none. Rush has this one right. This is nothing more that government funded opposition research against Trump.

billvon 2,991 #968 July 24, 2017 Trump is NOT going to like this. The head of the NSA pledging to uphold his oath, rather than swearing allegiance to Trump? Daring to talk about honesty and integrity, instead of attacking the media? It's enough to send Trump into an angry tweetstorm. ============================= In midst of Russia probe, NSA chief vows: 'I will not violate' my oath to Americans By MIKE LEVINE Jul 22, 2017 ABC News In unusually passionate and stark terms, the head of the nation’s top spy agency made clear on Saturday in Colorado that he will stand up to anyone -- even the president of the United States -- who asks him to use the U.S. intelligence community as a political prop. “We are not about particular viewpoints. We are not about particular parties. We just can’t work that way,” National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers said at the Aspen Security Forum in Aspen, Colorado. Rogers added that the U.S. intelligence community owes U.S. citizens “honesty and integrity.” Saturday’s remarks come only months after Rogers and at least two other senior U.S. officials were personally asked by President Trump to publicly rebut news reports laying out details of the federal government’s probe into Russia’s alleged efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election. Although Rogers has refused to publicly discuss his private conversations with Trump, he has previously vowed to keep politics out of his agency’s work. But his remarks today at the annual gathering of senior officials, reporters and others tied to the U.S. intelligence community were noteworthy in their intensity and passion. Punctuating each word -- one by one -- the U.S. Navy admiral said, “I will not violate the oath that I have taken in the 36 years as a commission officer.” Rogers’ face hardened and his voice cracked as he added: “I won’t do that.” ================== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,991 #973 July 24, 2017 The Trump refrain: 1) There was NO COLLUSION! "Believe me, there's no collusion. . . there is no collusion between certainly myself and my campaign, but I can always speak for myself, and the Russians, zero." 2) Even if there was collusion it is no big deal. "I think from a practical standpoint most people would have taken that meeting [with the Russians.] Politics isn't the nicest business in the world, but it's very standard." 3) Clinton did it first. "So why aren't the Committees and investigators, and of course our beleaguered A.G., looking into Crooked Hillarys crimes & Russia relations?" In a manner similar to climate change deniers, Trump supporters have no problems bouncing back and forth between these contradictory statements. What? It's Tuesday? There was NO COLLUSION! There's NO EVIDENCE! Oops, wait, it's Wednesday. In that case - it's just politics! Anyone would do it! There's NOTHING WRONG with doing that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
