Video: Stephen Colbert on Robert Mueller Interviewing Jeff Sessions: Big News in the Russia Investigation
Today we learned Mueller’s team interviewed Jeff Sessions, but we’re left to wonder how much the Attorney General told them.

I think part of the Mueller strategy is to gather enough sworn statements that are so inconsistent and contradictory that someone will have to go up for perjury.

Trump, his gang, and the Republicans are all such liars. The only truth to be found in this mess will be the financial transactions, and even those will be maddeningly difficult to figure out (deliberately).
Sorry to go OT so early, but I wanted to share this story before calling it a night.
A German man apparently discovered an 80-meter long section of the Berlin Wall in Berlin-Schönholz that’s still standing. He found this section back in 1999, and kept quiet about it until Monday…..he noticed storm damage and was becoming increasingly concerned about vandalism, so he finally reported his find to the authorities.
This particular segment of the Berlin Wall was erroneously listed as having been dismantled. The discoverer, Christian Bormann, says that this particular surviving segment is from the Phase I wall, which would’ve been constructed in the very early 1960’s.
Certainly, a fascinating historical find - there’s very little left of the Berlin Wall these days, and hopefully, steps can now be taken to preserve this bit of European history.

In keeping with their confederate cousins, the Nazis should take it, move it to far Western Germany, put it in a park, and declare that the wall went all the way around Germany but it really didn’t mean anything.

A new intelligence agency that’s under the direct control of Trump? What is this? The Republican Guard? The Revolutionary Guard? The Stasi?
There have been whispers of Trump needing to either purge the FBI or to create his own intelligence force that would be independent and under his guidance. This might very well be the beginning of a response to Mueller’s eventual findings. 11/

I don’t share that view, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I don’t think many Republicans would consider obvious fascism to be wrong at all, because we don’t have any evidence that Republicans are opposed to evil things, and at this point, most Republicans in Congress are FOX cultists. Secondly, neither Republicans nor the American media think that Republicans need to be bound by the same rules Democrats are, or held to the same standards. So creating a Gestapo would be completely acceptable, and if a Democrat were to somehow get in power and want to abuse it, then that could be immediately condemned as wrong with no repercussions for hypocrisy.

re: #110 KGxvi
I’m of an age and world view wherein I don’t really care how many times people have been married, or for how long, or for what reasons. Where I get annoyed is when people who wail about the alleged sanctity of the institution make fun of people who have been married for a long time or praise those who make a joke of the sanctimonious person’s views of marriage.
I care if the circumstances of their divorce reveal aspects of their character that would be relevant and maybe that’s the only way we would know about it. Violence, egregious lies, financial shenanigans…
If a couple just grew apart, the divorce was reasonably amicable and the property division fair, then it’s a personal matter I won’t care about.

Deport both sides of the family. Then they would not have met and reproduced.

Give him the $25B - he’ll never spend it because he only knows how to rebrand projects that were built for him. Word the bill so the funds can also be used for healthcare and education.

That’s the group that will nab you off the street for talking shit about the orange bag on the internets. I figure they’ll get me when I’m walking my dog. Don’t know if they’ll go all in for the 1984 style reeducation or if they’ll just “disappear” people for good.

He’ll say, “I want to testify under oath, but as I’m being audited by the IRS my lawyers thought it better to claim Executive Privilege. But yeah, no collusion. Nada.”
See? I’m not alone in this thought.
Breaking: President Trump says he would be happy to talk to special counsel Robert Mueller, and do it under oath but will listen to the advice of his lawyers.

At this stage, Mueller isn’t looking for more info. He’s just going to add Trump’s replies to his list of charges.
re: #2 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
I think part of the Mueller strategy is to gather enough sworn statements that are so inconsistent and contradictory that someone will have to go up for perjury.
Good strategy because they all lie.
re: #2 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

That’s the low hanging fruit.
Also low hanging - the incessant violations of 18 USC 1001. See Kushner, Jared and his SF-86 filings. He repeatedly omitted the fact that he met with Russian nationals multiple times across multiple submissions.
That’s actionable - each with a 5 year prison term. That he still has security clearance shows poorly on the rest of the admin and their refusal to follow the law and procedures.
The harder cases are the financial crimes and conspiracy against the US (aka the evidence that goes to “collusion with Russians”). Lying about meeting with Russians is easier to prove than proving that Trump and his cronies was in cahoots with the Russians to throw/manipulate the election outcome.

I mean I’m sure many were thinking it. It’s funny since just today I pulled a prank on my brother using a photo of our mom as a girl and going “wow other brother sure had long hair.”
I may have to road trip next week….
In the Burger King commercial, the King has a big Reese’s mug at the end like Ajit Pai.
I wonder if any of these excuses will work with Mueller?
1. “Don’t listen to his words. Look at what is in his heart.”
2. “Don’t take his words literally.”
3. “Let me clarify what he said.”
4. “He intended it as a joke.”
5. “I think what he meant was …”
6. “What he said is not entirely supported by the facts.”
7. “He fights fire with fire.”
8. “Genuine president expressing himself genuinely.”
9. “Just trump being trump.”
10. “Wait until he matures in office.”
11. “It’s not terrible but it’s kind of the classic Trump in that he overstates things.”
12. “Maybe he was being sarcastic.”
13. “While I find it hard to believe I should have to defend the President on this …”
14. “It is not unusual for staffers to hear him bluster about things. That doesn’t mean it’s real.”
15. “The president speaks for himself,”
16. “The tweet speaks for itself.”
17. “Maybe you should get a sense of humor.”
18. “He’s new to this.”
19. “He wasn’t meaning to give a factual statement.”
20. “He was misinterpreted.”
21. “The president will use whatever language he wants to use, obviously.”
23. “He was being rhetorical.”
24. “The president’s style is the president’s style.”
25. “Mar-a-Lago stirs him up,”
26. “He was paraphrasing.”
27. “The tweet was simply sloppy and unfortunate.”
28. “He was trying to be cute.”
29. “I’m not going to make judgments on what the president does. That’s up to him,”
30. “Give him time. He’s learning on the job.”
31. “His comments were unfortunate but his heart is in the right place.”
32. “This is how the forgotten men and women of America talk at a (Wisconsin) bar,”
33. “It will actually resonate with his base, not alienate it,”
34. “There’s a large segment of voters who it resonates with as anti-P.C. ‘straight talk’.”
35. “Let’s judge the President after 4 years and not on what he says.”
36. “I don’t recall him ever saying that specifically.”
37. “He is a flawed man, I am a flawed man. God will take care of it…”
…. I’m sure there are more..
re: #61 Patricia Kayden
Trump cheated on his wives multiple times, each for a newer model (literal and figurative). He cheated on his latest wife after she gave birth to his latest kid (5th with 3 wives?).
Chuck has been married to his wife Iris since 1980. Two kids. No indication they’ve had affairs or cheated on each other.
Trump isn’t a model of anything except right wing hypocrisy.
Clearly the Nunes memo is a bullshit facade and a pathetic attempt to discredit the FBI and an even more pathetic attempt to divert attention from the lawlessness of the Trump Regime. Dems need to start playing fucking hardball and release everything and counter this shit. Nunes is a fucking little shitstain weasel. He ranks along side Rage Furby, Bannon, Posobiec, and Hannity as useless fucking idiots.

re: #90 ObserverArt
Ari’s panel is thinking Trump saying he will testify under oath is a PR move. Mueller doesn’t need him to be under oath as lying to the FBI is criminal without oath.
Getting him under oath is a bonus, but lying to the FBI is a crime even without the oath.
But if he had competent lawyers, they’ll be demanding he cite the 5th. He wont, because he’s too vain and ego-driven to do that, and it puts him in legal jeopardy.
He is literally his own legal team’s worst nightmare, and everyone knows it. That’s why all his right wing cronies are doing everything imaginable to try and derail the investigation now, before Trump speaks, because it will not end will for any of his admin once he does.

Trump’s in a unique position as president. He could, in theory, pardon himself, or order the AG/DOJ/FBI to end the investigation or not proceed with a criminal case. He can do Saturday Night Massacre II: The Stupidening. It then becomes a political question in impeachment proceedings. If Paul fucking Ryan can’t find the spinal integrity to proceed with impeachment, and if the Senate has too many wingnuts, then Trump is bulletproof.

If that happens, our experiment in democracy has failed and we have become an autocracy.
re: #161 KGxvi
Mueller could flip the script and look at actions undertaken in NY, crimes committed there - and feed all that to AG Schneiderman. No pardon since it’s NY crime, not federal crime. It would still raise issue of impeachment, but that’s a political action.
This GOP is so craven that they wont consider impeachment even if Mueller has tapes of everyone talking to Putin and money is seen exchanged.
