Just asked this in the now old thread…
Anyone think Donny Trump resigns?
Not sure why, but I have a feeling if it gets too hot he just up and quits so as to avoid all that is coming. He’ll try for a Nixon out. Dump it all on Pence and then ask Pence to pardon him so he can be on his way.

Oh wow, I had no idea that Papadopoulos was so young. He’s my age. So yeah I’m starting to see why he talked. He’s younger than Manafort and Gates. Probably has a young family. He’s also not a Trump loyalist per say per Wiki. He advised Carson too.

Yeah, I was surprised he was so young too. But it makes sense-he appears to have been ambitious and using the Trump campaign to get a leg up. One suspects he thought he was very, very clever, and has now found out differently.
SHS has a mental macro for the phrase “I think the President has made it very clear that…”
re: #10 KGxvi
Trump spoke to Manafort after he was sworn into office. That’s a hell of an admission.
Manafort and Trump haven’t stopped speaking for decades. They were working together during the campaign, even after Manafort stepped aside during the summer of 2016 as campaign manager (the role then filled on interim basis by Rick Gates, who is also indicted). Manafort continued talking to Trump and advising in a role all through the campaign and then into the transition period.
The two spoke even after inauguration.
That’s despite the growing prove/evidence that Manafort was an undeclared foreign agent.
Everyone around Trump is in trouble, and Trump’s predictably acting as though nothing is wrong - mostly because he takes his cues from Fox News, which is projecting their bullshit all over the place (and pushing the echo chamber that only ones doing wrong here are Mueller and Clinton, not Trump).

Or, as an alternative scenario: brazen it out, fire Mueller, shut down the investigation, pardon anyone who needs one, and then dare Congress/the courts to do anything about it. And probably soon, so that it will be hoped to be forgotten by next year’s elections. Or buried by the news of some war that Trump will start to get a rally-round-the-flag effect.
Anyone here think that THIS Congress’s Republicans are likely to put the rule of law over their own political careers, or, more accurately, imperil their donor base’s investments??

ford pardoned nixon for a reason - best interest of the country and to effectively stop further need for investigation.
that reason wont work again - cause it’s been done, and because this is way more egregious - and so pence’s future would be toast

re: #44 wrenchwench
My mom went to the wrong law school! She could have used that more than once!
I’ve sadly had too many times where I’ve been sitting in a deposition and heard an answer and thought “well, fuck.” It’s mostly the same principle, every once in a while something comes to light and all you can do is settle the case as quickly as possible and include a non-disclosure agreement in the settlement. If I were in the situation where my client answered a question like that one, I’d immediately suggest a break and ask WTF?
Worth noting that the dossier was not made public until after the election while the hacked DNC/Podesta emails were made public during it.

If we are, at some point, faced with a President Pence for the remainder of this term, there’s just no way that he wins in 2020. It’ll be the 1976 election all over again. The Trump base will stay home or rally behind some terrible third party candidate. Moderates and those not normally politically engaged will flock to the Democratic nominee (assuming they aren’t terrible). The map won’t be nearly as kind to President Pence as it was to President Ford.

This has probably been discussed somewhere, but do we know why Mueller is investigating Tony Podesta? It doesn’t seem immediately obvious to me.
Here is a link and the first few paragraphs to a story a few days ago that may help fill you in on Mueller looking into Tony Podesta.
NBC News - Mueller Now Investigating Democratic Lobbyist Tony Podesta
WASHINGTON — Tony Podesta and the Podesta Group are now the subjects of a federal investigation being led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, three sources with knowledge of the matter told NBC News.
The probe of Podesta and his Democratic-leaning lobbying firm grew out of Mueller’s inquiry into the finances of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to the sources. As special counsel, Mueller has been tasked with investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Manafort had organized a public relations campaign for a non-profit called the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine (ECMU). Podesta’s company was one of many firms that worked on the campaign, which promoted Ukraine’s image in the West.
The sources said the investigation into Podesta and his company began as more of a fact-finding mission about the ECMU and Manafort’s role in the campaign, but has now morphed into a criminal inquiry into whether the firm violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act, known as FARA.

My hair started thinning around when I was around 20. When I was about 25, a good friend of mine told me that my various combover attempts were ridiculous and should I just shave it off and go bald.
Been doing that ever since - it’s been almost a quarter-century since I’ve seen the inside of a barber shop, LOL.
Scott Van Pelt and Bomani Jones on ESPN talk about having the “it’s time to come home” discussion with guys losing their hair. I always feel bad being entertained by that because I’ve got the kind of hair that requires barbers to get new clipper blades.
But about the barber shop, there are quite a few that are set up sort of old school style that will do a proper shave.

Watch the spin on this - Mueller going after Podesta and Democrats is the real action, Manafort, Gates, and Papadoulous are the sideshow, when most everyone else is like - take all these traitors down. If they sided up with Russia on anything, they should be spending the rest of their lives in ADX Florence. But the right wing thinks Podesta and Clinton are the real targets, ignoring that all the evidence is pointing at Trump and his rotten cabal of cronies.
Clinton ppl indicted out of Mueller: 0
Clinton people who have entered guilty pleas: 0
Trump people indicted off Mueller: 3

All the evidence is pointing at Sessions, Trump spawn, and the rest of those cronies, not Clinton. Wont stop Fox spin cycle or that Hannity will demand Mueller step aside… because that’s what they do.

“…In 2006, the year he reportedly began working for Deripaska, Manafort bought a condo in Trump Tower for $3,675,000 through an LLC called John Hannah. John is Manafort’s middle name, and Hannah is the middle name of that of his then-business partner, Rick Davis.
In January 2015, the deed to the Trump Tower condo was transferred from John Hannah LLC to Paul and Kathleen Manafort. Three months later, the Manaforts took out a $3 million mortgage from UBS Bank USA for the condo.

The right wing propaganda machine will play on the name recognition of “Podesta” in the general public, even though it is clear that the brother who worked with Clinton is not the one being investigated and no link has been implied.
Mueller needs to get to the bottom of the interconnecting financial interests in the foreign influence, so of course he’s roping in all of Manafort’s associates, including Tony Podesta’s group.

re: #175 danarchy
If Trumps records had been subpoenaed I can’t imagine he wouldn’t have been screaming about it.
A federal prosecutor obtains tax returns by seeking an ex parte order from a federal judge. That means that the person who is being investigated doesn’t know that the tax returns are being sought or if the judge issues the order. Basically, it’s done in secret. That’s why tax returns are often sought in the early stage of an investigation, before the subject knows exactly what the prosecutor is looking at.
The statute permitting a prosecutor to obtain tax returns in a non-tax investigation requires a senior Justice Department official to sign off on obtaining a tax return, but Mueller has authority to do so because the statute permits “United States attorneys” to obtain tax returns and he has the power of a “United States attorney” pursuant to the special counsel regulations. In my former office, a person designated by the United States attorney routinely approved requests for tax returns.

Even as the indictment of Paul Manafort was being unsealed, a crew of uncommonly skilled and efficient workers was laboring with devoutly honest grace at the Brooklyn brownstone the former Trump campaign manager allegedly purchased with laundered money, then used as collateral for fraudulent loans.
“He has not been here for a week and three days,” the contractor from Contreras Innovations said Monday morning.

re: #205 Nyet
Как рассказал корреспонденту «Ленты.ру» в перерыве между сессиями директор Лондонской академии дипломатии Джозеф Мифсуд, эксперты «Валдая» многократно отмечали важность взаимодействия России и Европы, более того, они подчеркивали, что его надо усиливать. «Я бы хотел добавить, что у Европы два сердца — восточное и средиземноморское, — сказал профессор. — И второе очень близко русскому сердцу. Италия, Испания, Греция, Кипр, Мальта, Словения — у жителей этих стран весьма схожее мышление, и они хорошо понимают Россию».
As the director of the London Academy of Diplomacy Joseph Mifsud told the lenta.ru correspondent, Valdai experts repeatedly noted the importance of the interaction between Russia and Europe, moreover, they stressed that it should be strengthened. “I would like to add that Europe has two hearts - eastern and Mediterranean,” said the professor. - And the second is very close to the Russian heart. Italy, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Slovenia - the inhabitants of these countries have very similar thinking, and they understand Russia well. “
Например, Джозеф Мифсуд в разговоре с нашим изданием отметил, что считает неправильным для какого-либо государства вмешиваться во внутреннюю политику России. «Решать это должны не США или Евросоюз, а граждане России, у которых есть право выбирать президента, — подчеркнул он. — У кого-либо извне такого права нет. Когда Запад пытается решать, как должна быть устроена власть в других государствах, мы получаем то, что сейчас творится в Сирии и Ливии, то есть полный беспорядок».
For example, Joseph Mifsud, in a conversation with our publication, noted that he considers it wrong for any state to interfere in Russia’s domestic policy. “It should not be decided by the US or the European Union, but by Russian citizens who have the right to choose the president,” he stressed. “Somebody outside has no such right.” When the West tries to decide how the authorities should be organized in other states, we get what is happening in Syria and Libya, that is, a complete mess. “

I found this very last paragraph big le’ interesting.
He was arrested at Washington Dulles Airport on July 27, 2017, and he has since been cooperating with Special Counsel Robert Mueller.[6] On October 5, 2017, Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to making false statements to FBI agents relating to contacts he had with agents of the Russian government while working for the Trump campaign.[12][13], Several documents related to his plea agreement were made public on October 30, 2017, the day Paul Manafort was indicted.[6]
Anyone remember reading anything about him being arrested? I can’t recall that. Seems Mueller pulled that off rather quietly. Or, everyone saw him as such a minor role player they ignored it.

I think the US will have to work much harder, if it wants to keep the same kind of stance with Russia with the support of Europe, because some of the people who have been put into place inside the European Commission are more diplomatically inclined to build a real dialog with Russia, more than their predecessors.
Is the US interested in strong Russia and in a good relationship with Russia?
Joseph Mifsud: I think the US is interested, but at the same time is extremely skeptical about actually having this kind of relationship. With its relationship with China, the stronger economic links through the BRICS, I think that there is a major concern that Russia is going its own way and that the no-rules-game is played by the Russian Federation.
Will the spiral of mistrust be reversed?
Joseph Mifsud: I think the key word which President Putin used was interdependence. The global security and the economy are part of this interdependence. I believe that whatever the US, the EU, Germany, Russia, China, all the others might decide and wish to do, it is all tired also to the fact that there are these two pillars. I believe that we cannot risk 5-10 or 15 years to put things in order or to come up with new rules. There isn’t that time, the global security and the economy will be continuing to deteriorate. I believe that people will actually see the sense.
One of the other perceptions, that was also mentioned, was - can the US continue with the world policing or with the Monroe doctrine. This is something which is extremely important. I don’t think that the US has the energy to continue with this. So, the global security and economy needs partners and who is better in this than the Russian Federation.

Pro-Russian Lobbyist Is Lurking Around the White House
President Trump can’t keep the ghost of Russia out of the White House—the man who helped Paul Manafort work with the Russians is still on the scene.
ASAWIN SUEBSAENG
GIDEON RESNICK
06.14.17 1:00 AM ET
Rick Gates, the longtime lobbying partner of ousted Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, is still making multiple visits to the White House—even though the Trump administration has sought to distance itself from Manafort.
Manafort may be under investigation for alleged Russia ties, and thus persona non grata at the Trump White House. However, his top deputy Gates—who also worked on behalf of Russian interests—has managed to wedge himself back into Trump-world. having landed a sweet new gig with one of President Donald Trump’s best and wealthiest friends.

Or, as an alternative scenario: brazen it out, fire Mueller, shut down the investigation, pardon anyone who needs one, and then dare Congress/the courts to do anything about it. And probably soon, so that it will be hoped to be forgotten by next year’s elections. Or buried by the news of some war that Trump will start to get a rally-round-the-flag effect.
Anyone here think that THIS Congress’s Republicans are likely to put the rule of law over their own political careers, or, more accurately, imperil their donor base’s investments??
I think this is the most likely scenario.

Honestly with Reagan, it’s that I hate the attempts to elevate him to the same level as Washington or Lincoln. That actually offends me a little.
When Reagan testified related to communists in Hollywood at the House Unamerican Affairs Committee:
The hearings opened with appearances by Walt Disney and Ronald Reagan, then president of the Screen Actors Guild. Disney testified that the threat of Communists in the film industry was a serious one, and named specific people who had worked for him as probable Communists.[14] Reagan testified that a small clique within his union was using “communist-like tactics” in attempting to steer union policy, but that he did not know if those (unnamed) members were communists or not, and that in any case he thought the union had them under control.[15] (Later his first wife, actress Jane Wyman stated in her biography with Joe Morella [1985] that Reagan’s allegations against friends and colleagues led to tension in their marriage, eventually resulting in their divorce). Actor Adolphe Menjou declared, “I am a witch hunter if the witches are Communists. I am a Red-baiter. I would like to see them all back in Russia.”[16]

Period. That’s their goal and intent, and the Democrats don’t have the votes to block them.
Elections have consequences, and there are still too many fuckers out there who think the parties and candidates are all alike. Sorry, there’s no way to not be blunt about this.
If you think Clinton judicial picks would be gutting access for health coverage or undermining Roe, you’d be sorely mistaken.

1960 was very much a turning point in our history. If Nixon wins, he probably does a lot of the same things, but doesn’t develop the resentment/paranoia that the 1960 and 1962 losses generated, so there’s likely no Watergate situation. He probably supports the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act (he was at least partly responsible for shepherding the Civil Rights Act of 1957). Goldwater doesn’t run in ‘64, which means the rise of the conservative movement doesn’t get its creation myth. JFK probably doesn’t run in ‘64 but does run in ‘68. The Vietnam War likely goes very differently, as does the Bay of Pigs, I would think.

“…One potential avenue is legislation crafted by Rep. Ron DeSantis, a Florida Republican and member of the House Freedom Caucus, an influential bloc of conservative lawmakers. DeSantis offered an amendment to a House spending package in August that would have barred Mueller from pursuing criminal charges for any conduct occurring before March 2015. That would have severely complicated Mueller’s indictments of Paul Manafort and Rick Gates, which rely in large part on alleged criminal conduct prior to the 2016 presidential campaign, when the two lobbied on behalf of a pro-Russia political party in Ukraine.
DeSantis’s amendment would also have given Mueller six months to wrap up his investigation before the special counsel’s office was completely defunded.

re: #400 freetoken
Nixon is an excellent example of power corrupting.
He was pretty corrupt when he was relatively new to power.
In his memoirs, Nixon recounts that he joined the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) “at the end of 1947.” However, he was already a HUAC member in early February 1947, when he heard “Enemy Number One” Gerhard Eisler and his sister Ruth Fischer testify. On February 18, 1947, Nixon referred to Eisler’s belligerence toward HUAC in his maiden speech to the House. Also by early February 1947, fellow U.S. Representative Charles J. Kersten had introduced him to Father John Francis Cronin in Baltimore, who shared with Nixon his 1945 privately circulated paper “The Problem of American Communism in 1945,” [54] with much information from the FBI’s William C. Sullivan (who by 1961 would head domestic intelligence under Hoover).[55]

I’ve sort of got the feeling that he didn’t need anyone for Manafort, simply forensic accounting. It was pretty well known that he was a shill for the bad guys. Even his daughters called it blood money. I’m leaning towards Manafort being used to Telegraph that nobody is safe with a nice healthy dollop of “see how thorough we’ve been” just to put the shits up them.

That was a point that miffed me off and showed Conservatism’s True Colors: Obama could have been held up as a poster Child for the American Dream: namely, that anyone, regardless of race or social origin who works hard enough can rise to the highest office in the nation.
But that would have meant acknowledging, however grudgingly, his accomplishments and his dedication to his pursuit of excellence.
And there was something about him that prevented them from doing anything but calling him a Kenyan usurper, Manchurian candidate, affirmative-action upstart or a secret Muslim terrorist sympathizer.

re: #434 goddamnedfrank
I couldn’t get through the first season. I can put up with realistic moral gray areas but the point of view in House of Cards was just so utterly amoral and psychopathic that I was genuinely disgusted.
What’s worse, that’s one of Putin’s favorite series and he thinks that that’s really how it works.

Which is my proof that he doesn’t exist.
I take a different view. It’s not proof of the nonexistence of a god or gods, but it DOES prove that if there IS a god or gods, they don’t bother getting involved in our shit. This means the existence or nonexistence is pretty much irrelevant.

Trump is as amoral, but nowhere near as talented as Frank Underwood, while Melania is nowhere near as simultaneously hot and frighteningly cold as Claire.

So you’ve got a guy on your campaign who keeps saying “I can set up a meeting with Putin” and never does the question come up “Why would Putin want to meet with me?” Particularly when you’re spending time at campaign conventions talking about how you’d like America to be buddies with Russia?

They seem to think this is a trap and Hillary is going to be arrested for something or other. The level of insanity at all levels stuns me. Some of them actually believe this.
And they seem to think Tony Podesta (whom I don’t know) is John Podesta (whom I do know) and somehow this Tony thing is bad need for Clinton… Or something.

So wait, the latest spin is that Podesta or Democrats sought out information showing Trump colluded?
That’s not a fucking crime.
Colluding with Russians for oppo research on Clinton IS a crime. In fact, it can be included in the crime conspiracy against the United States (18 USC 371). Conspiracy necessitates at least two people involved, and it’s clear that far more than two were involved.
Trump thinks saying that Mueller’s wrapping up ends things.
It doesn’t.
Fox fixating on Clinton doesn’t end things either. It also doesn’t change fact that Washington DC and the political universe knows Trump’s entire cabal of cronies are in deep trouble. Indictments of three people (with one guilty plea so far) shows that this isn’t over by a long shot.
The only ones lying here and projecting like IMAX are the ones who have lied and projected like IMAX all along - the GOP and right wing hacks who have enabled a corrupt and compromised Trump all along.
Fox should have a reckoning, but they wont. A lot of media outlets likewise should have a reckoning about how they treated Trump with kid gloves and ignored or minimized the signs that Trump was addled, incompetent, engaging in criminal acts, and otherwise enabling the worst elements of the nation to spread their wings.
And by engaging in criminal acts, I include admission of the sex abuse/harassment of multiple women.

Trump is as amoral, but nowhere near as talented as Frank Underwood, while Melania is nowhere near as simultaneously hot and frighteningly cold as Claire.
The original series (I think in the 1990s) was English and the eventual prime minister was called Francis Urquhart - played by Ian Richardson - it was on netflix - not sure if it is still there. Mind chilling - and when Ted Cruz hit the political scene the physical resemblance was frightening. The show was taken from the books by Michael Dobbs - a good read.
It did not stretch my imagination to believe it happening. I have not watched much of the US version.
You can see why Mueller is parceling out the indictments rather than grabbing them all at once. He turned on the light today and the roaches are already scattering. Where they run will be most informative.

In the US version, there’s a President who basically does whatever the last guy he talked to advised. I thought that was unrealistic until I read that Trump’s advisers scheme to be the last person to talk to him before a decision has to be made.
