Flynn in major trouble for speaking to Russia about sanctions

[RandomGuy]

Pretty simple question I asked. I'm not watching TV.

What new information came out from Comey today? Did he say there was evidence of collusion?

He couldn't talk about the investigation because he was a government official. Unlike Trump Jr. who could admit to collusion.

[RandomGuy]

Was any evidence of collusion presented today? Did anyone even hint at there being collusion?

If you answered no to both of these you are still holding the L and eating the brown cake.

Yes. Yes.

Trump Jr. provided pretty solid evidence.

"The Russian lawyer on the other end of the Trump Jr. meeting,

Nataliya Veselnitskaya, just so happens to represent a Russian oligarch,

Denis Katsyv, who was under indictment for laundering millions of dollars through America before

the case was abruptly settled out of court by Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ office earlier this year.

The attorney general prosecuting Katsyv? Preet Bharara. Trash: You're Fired!

Those millions of dollars were part of a staggering $230 million tax evasion case discovered by Sergei Magnitisky,

who was later murdered in a Moscow prison and

whose name was given to the package of sanctions that the Obama administration slapped on the Russian government in response.

Veselnitskaya wanted to discuss the repeal of the Magnitsky Act and repeal of the sanctions…in exchange for damaging information on Hillary."

http://washingtonjournal.com/2017/07...ssian-scandal/

Trash and his entourage are "six degrees of Kevin Bacon" from murderous Pootin and his Russian mafiya.

Sessions let's the Russian escape with $225M, after having "forgotten" meetings with Russians

No conflict of interest there. Nope. None.

The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official do ents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father.
This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump - helped along by Aras and Emin.
What do you think is the best way to handle this information and would you be able to speak to Emin about it directly?
I can also send this info to your father via Rhona, but it is ultra sensitive so wanted to send to you first.

Thanks Rob I appreciate that. I am on the road at the moment but perhaps I just speak to Emin first. Seems we have some time and if it's what you say I love it especially later in the summer. Could we do a call first thing next week when I am back?

[RandomGuy]

I'm sure Mueller's team, with financial crime specialists, has seen, or will see, all of Trash's financials, going back many years.

This will drag out for months.

So we have:

Trump publically asking for Russia's help in a speech.
Sessions lying under oath about meeting Russians
Flynn lying about meeting Russians
Manafort's business dealings with Russians.
Trump Jr., Manafort, and Kushner enthusiastically taking a meeting when told it was "sensitive" information from the Russian government.

At this point, it takes a special kind of stupid to not see a pattern.

[boutons_deux]

"Sessions lying under oath about meeting Russians"

... and Sessions letting son of Russian oligarch off with $6M MONEY LAUNDERING fine instead of $230M, that son represented by same Russian lawyer that Trash Jr met.

Trump junior says otherwise.

You're quoting one of TSA old quotes. Clapper said that's not what he meant.

Back when Trump even put a background pic of James Clapper in his twitter about no collusion.

What evidence does the FBI have? And why haven't they done anything since 2011?

Are you now admitting Trump was under surveillance?

FBI now has Trump Jr.'s emails.

So no new evidence or any hint of there being collusion. Thanks.

I guess we have new evidence now.

You used to bring good discussion to the table, now you just bring takes and tier insult attempts.

The investigation into whether or not Trump was under surveillance is just getting going, and after today it's pretty much been confirmed he's been under surveillance.

How is the Trump/Russia collusion investigation since last July shaping up for you?

Seems to be shaping up just fine. Now we have Trump Jr., Manafort, and Kushner meeting with Russian under pretext of getting "sensitive" dirt on Hillary from Russian government.

I was focusing more on Benghazi.

They can keep claiming Russian collusion for years but the facts will be out long before then. Top Dems are already starting to back away from the Russian collusion

Bangazi.

Top republicans backing away from Trump after Jr.'s emails.

CrowdStrike methods/report just got on yet again.

No one has been able to attribute to Russia, no one.

ETA: but you have a point since most people like yourself have just accepted "Russia hacked the election"

Crowdstrike report is doing fine.

Unlike Trump Jr. Manafort, and Kushner.

The only thing fabricated so far has been the Trump/Russia collusion.

It's going to be hilarious when the only people indicted are the Dems who created and pushed the false narrative and then called for an investigation.

The only thing fabricated right now is your credibility.

How many times must you be told to read the actual article before falling for the sensational Tweet?



"One source suggested the official [American] investigation was making progress. “They now have specific concrete and corroborative evidence of collusion,” the source said. “This is between people in the Trump campaign and agents of [Russian] influence relating to the use of hacked material.”

That's a bombs because evidence that Trump advisers were involved in any way with the release of hacked Hillary Clinton-related emails would be an impeachment-level smoking gun in a scandal that currently involves a lot of reports about sketchy relationships but no proof of clearly illegal conduct. It's only sort of a bombs because, well, who is this one random source and why does he/she seem to be the only person anywhere who knows this potentially world-shaking information?

Bad news for the Trump-Russia tinfoil-hat brigade

During a Capitol Hill hearing this week over his investigation into allegations President Trump worked with the Kremlin to steal the election, FBI Director James Comey showed his hand, and he’s not holding any aces. In fact, he’s got a whole lot of nothing.

In an exchange with Democratic Sen. Al Franken, Comey revealed the assumptions undergirding his investigation, which started in the heat of the 2016 presidential campaign, despite any specific evidence of a crime.

“What is your assessment of why the Russian government had a clear preference for President Trump?” Franken asked.

“One is he wasn’t Hillary Clinton,” Comey replied, “who [Russian President Vladimir] Putin hated and wanted to harm in any possible way; and so he was her opponent, so necessarily they supported him.”

Also, “Putin believed he would be more able to make deals . . . with someone with a business background,” the FBI chief added. But, a disappointed Franken pressed, wasn’t it also because Trump was “ensnared in their web of patronage?” No, said Comey.

So there you have it. The conclusion that Russia tried to steal the election for Trump is based on pure speculation about how Putin thinks. The notion Trump was in Putin’s back pocket doesn’t even factor into it.

There’s more bad news for Franken and other tin-foil-hat-wearing Democrats peddling the theory Trump is Putin’s Manchurian candidate. It turns out the FBI probe doesn’t even focus on Trump or his key campaign aides. It centers almost exclusively on a former Merrill Lynch executive who was based in Moscow a decade ago.

His name is Carter Page, and he never formally worked for the Trump campaign. In fact, he first showed up on the FBI’s radar three years before Trump announced his candidacy.

Page is the main investigative target and apparently the only one remotely tied to the Trump campaign to have his communications targeted with a FISA warrant. To obtain that surveillance warrant, the FBI relied on a discredited dossier, which will make it hard to prosecute Page.

The opposition research firm behind the dossier, which alleges nefarious collusion between Trump and Putin, is Fusion GPS, which conducts “political disinformation campaigns” — sometimes for Moscow. “The relationship casts further doubt on an already highly dubious dossier,” Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley wrote the Justice Department in a recent letter.

Adding to su ions, the author of the dodgy dossier may have been on the FBI’s payroll, according to Grassley. The GOP senator asked Comey about “payments” the bureau made to researcher Christopher Steele, and Comey dodged the question without denying payments.

So nine months in, this is where the FBI’s investigation stands: No evidence of collaboration between the Trump campaign and Moscow, something even Obama’s intelligence czar verified. No charges against any Trump aides for espionage. And one case against a single, tangentially connected suspect built on tenuous evidence at best.

Even Comey’s theory about Putin favoring Trump lacks direct evidence. In fact, there is just as much evidence Russia hackers were trying to hurt Trump.

Yes, Russian hackers may have publicized batches of emails from the DNC and the Clinton campaign chairman. But the RNC was also a Russian hacking target. The only reason hackers got deeper into the DNC is because the DNC and John Podesta bit on phishing scams.

In September, moreover, Russian hackers also leaked embarrassing emails about Trump from ex-Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell, who called the GOP nominee a “national disgrace” and an “idiot.”

And if Russia really wanted to hurt Clinton and the Democrats, why do it withhold the coup de grace: a potentially devastating memo written by a Democratic operative who expressed confidence that Obama’s attorney general would keep the Clinton email investigation “from going too far” and ensure her victory?

A copy of the do ent, which might have convinced already distrustful voters of her guilt, was intercepted by the FBI.

After Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, CNN asked the ranking Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, if she had evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government during the election. “Not at this time,” Feinstein sheepishly replied.

The case against Trump is paper-thin. What started as a political fishing expedition has nonetheless turned into a full-fledged witch hunt, fanned by a Democrat-dominated media bent on demonizing and destroying Trump and his policie

Ok, enough for now. I only really got to the first page of TSA posts asking for evidence of "collusion". 3 more to go.

Still think there was no high-level attempts at collusion?

More than just attempts. The DNC actually colluded with the Ukranian government and Dems also paid a British national for dirt on Trump.
