Two scenarios on Trump-Russia investigators — and neither is comforting

  1. When is the long-promised prosecution and impeachment coming, pussy?

    The more flaccid you get, the longer your sermonettes become.

    Where's the beef?

    They knew it was a bogus dossier which was the basis of the FISA warrant. In spite of that, they used the bogus dossier to spy on Donald Trump. That application for a warrant was never reviewed but, signed on by Loretta Lynch. Later on, a judge was made to sign it! There are a lot of irregularities when the rules are not followed at all! Why? The files allegedly, hacked was not hacked at all! William Binney, top NSA official who is now retired examined the data printouts on analysis of the DNC lap top. Download speeds was too fast to be a hack coming from a far. Instead, the conclusion was it was copied into a flash drive! Strangely, the supposed leaker, Seth Rich ended up dead a few days after the info was supposedly, passed to Wikileaks? Julian Assange knows too much now with all the info he got! For his sake, I hope he does not get extradited to the US! His life is probably, in grave danger if he is ever extradited!

  3. The Republican leadership is totally owned by the Russians.



    Lindsey Graham Took $800,000 In Illegal Contributions From Russian Billionaire

    Just a few short months ago, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was the one of the few Republicans who didn’t appear to be utterly subservient to President Donald Trump. Graham often criticized Trump and even warned it would be “the beginning of the end” of Trump’s presidency if he fired Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

    But those days are long gone.
    During the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh last year, Graham exploded with rage, accusing those opposed to Kavanaugh of being unethical:

    “When you see Sotomayor and Kagan, tell them that Lindsey said hello because I voted for them. I would never do to them what you’ve done to this guy. This is the most unethical sham since I’ve been in politics! And if you really wanted to know the truth, you sure as hell wouldn’t have done what you’ve done to this guy!”

    What in the hell happened to Lindsey Graham? How did he go from a rare voice of reason to an attack dog for the Trump administration?

    Would it surprise you to learn it’s about money?


    As Ruth May first reported for the Dallas Morning News:

    “During the 2015-2016 election season, Ukrainian-born billionaire Leonard ‘Len’ Blavatnik contributed $6.35 million to leading Republican candidates and incumbent senators.

    “Other high dollar recipients of funding from Blavatnik were PACS representing Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker at $1.1 million, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham at $800,000, Ohio Governor John Kasich at $250,000 and Arizona Senator John McCain at $200,000.”

    While he was at it, Blavatnik also made sure and donated a cool $1 million to the Trump Inaugural Committee.


    Blavatnik, it just so happens, has numerous connections to Russia, Russian oligarchs, and Russian President Vladimir Putin:

    “Blavatnik’s relationships with Russian oligarchs close to Putin, particularly Oleg Deripaska, should be worrisome for Trump and the six GOP leaders who took Blavatnik’s money during the 2016 presidential campaign.”

    Keep in mind that Graham’s email account was also hacked. We don’t know what exactly was in those emails, but it’s safe to say it must have been pretty juicy to make the South Carolina senator go from anti-Trumper to one of the most staunch defenders of the president.

    Looking at the money trail, it appears that Senator Graham is just as compromised as Donald Trump himself.

    Can't wait to see everyone's reaction when we finally realize what's been going on ... and also realize that it's too late to do anything about it.

    It's what happens to a superpower when the citizenry is dumbed-down through a broken educational system, and subjected to disinformation campaigns 24/7, and subsequently elects a dumb, compromised leader--who appoints and surrounds himself with dumb advisers (only if they agree with his mindset).

    Its becoming clear that House Democrats will impeach President Trump.

    Its the only thing they can do in the face of massive allegations coming regarding this coup attempt, spying on the Trump campaign and corruption associated with the handling of the Clinton email investigation by the FBI and DOJ.

    I think both sides are all-in, or pretty close to it. Democrats will impeach the President even though Mueller said there was no crime. They are simply inventing obstruction. Its a gigantic lie.

    So what happens? Can't say, other than to speculate that this is going to get pretty ugly. Its not likely that much is going to get done.

    Why do you call it "spying?"

    Is it because that's what Trump's tweets have been subconsciously telling you to call it?

    Normally, we call it surveillance when the FBI investigates suspicious activities in order to determine whether crimes are being (or have been) committed?

    You do realize that that's one of the ways that law enforcement gathers evidence?

    Why do you call it a "coup attempt?"

    Is it because that's what Trump's tweets have been subconsciously telling you to call it?

    Was it a "coup attempt" when they investigated Nixon?

    If you read the report, then you know that Democrats didn't "invent" Trump's obstruction. If you've been watching the news over the last 2-3 years, even Fox News, you'd know that Democrats didn't "invent" Trump's obstruction. Have you looked at the legal definition of 'obstruction of justice,' or just Trump's tweets?

    Where is the gigantic lie. Specifics please. Btw, who do you think is doing the most lying in D.C. these days. Be honest.

    Let's assume the "gigantic" lie was the allegation that Trump colluded. Well, didn't the report show that he didn't? Why didn't the FBI simply fabricate evidence supporting that allegation in order to carry out "the coup?"

    If you see something, say something.

    Trump was calling for Putin's help with Hillary. Trump's team was meeting with officials of a foreign government, covertly (backdoor communication channels, etc.). Now ... wouldn't you want the FBI, etc. to investigate those facts/allegations. What it Obama did those things? Would you have wanted them to investigate in that case?

    Like I said earlier ... about the citizenry.

    You and @Snarkhund both have unusually high like-to-post ratios. Just like Xela and his duplicate accounts had. Just like most folks with fake accounts.

    Old men playing the fake account game in internet chat rooms just can't seem to avoid excessively auto-stimulating their own like button.

    Mueller did not say that. But that is what people such as yourself who have not read the report have been made to think. Y'all are like little automatons controlled by Trump's play station control. But you don't have to take my word for this. All you have to do is read the Mueller report. Alternatively you can wait for Mueller's testimony before Nadler's Committee behind closed doors. There will be a transcript released to the public. You can learn what Mueller actually said at that time.
