Flynn in major trouble for speaking to Russia about sanctions

[pgardn]

Stupid ass. Russia hacked our systems and voter rolls and changed information. He did not "win".

BS.

There is no evidence they did this FOR Trump.
The evidence we have seen clearly points to the attempt to cause any kind of chaos, not directly work for Trump.
You don't know the above.

And even if they did you are telling me this was strategic enough to target those key Midwestern swing states.
Stuff it, you don't have any idea what you are talking about here.

Total BS.

And more importantly, when a staffer is asked to get a big list of donor lobbyists together for a dinner as a fundraiser... There are many outs to this. Does Sessions even know him. Did Sessions ask Burt directly to come to the dinner knowing Burt was a Russian lobbyist?You're pissing all over his BOOM

Sessions testified under oath on Tuesday that he did not believe he had any contacts with lobbyists working for Russian interests over the course of Trump’s campaign. But Richard Burt, a former ambassador to Germany during the Reagan administration, who has represented Russian interests in Washington, told the Guardian that he could confirm previous media reports that stated he had contacts with Sessions at the time.

“I did attend two dinners with groups of former Republican foreign policy officials and Senator Sessions,” Burt said.

"Asked whether Sessions was unfamiliar with Burt’s role as a lobbyist for Russian interests – a fact that is disclosed in public records – or had any reason to be confused about the issue, Burt told the Guardian that he did not know."

"When John McCain, the Republican senator from Arizona who is a frequent critic of Trump and Russian president Vladimir Putin, asked Sessions in a hearing this week before the Senate intelligence committee about whether the attorney general had ever had “any contacts with any representative, including any American lobbyist or agent of any Russian company” during the 2016 campaign, Sessions said he did not."

“I don’t believe so,” Sessions said.


"It is also possible that Sessions was not fully aware of Burt’s lobbying history, although Burt’s affiliation with Russian interests is fairly well known in Washington circles."

"The former ambassador and lobbyist appears to have recently sought to downplay his role in helping Trump to formulate the Mayflower speech, telling the Daily Beast earlier this year that he had transmitted his counsel through a third party intermediary."

My question remains, and this is a really good way to falsify my theory. Be happy to admit he isn't compromised, if some evidence supports that. Everything he has done thus far is consistent with compromised and/or some level of collusion. Any actions against Russia would put that to rest. The more he ignores this, the thinner your denials will be, and the stronger the case gets.

I see your point.

The biggest drawback is that it assumes Trump has the patience and wherewithal to pull off any organized effort. I know you have not asserted that this affected the election, but some bozos like Djohn and boots seem to believe this. I find it highly unlikely. The election was a shocker. Somehow, after the fact, people seem to feel it was ordained (cheating or God given) that Trump should win. That's just BS. How people can just blow off pre election thoughts is amazing to me. Just handily forget it all and start making shit up.

Mueller Is Coming for Trump

The special counsel’s expanding probe will reveal loads of dirt from the president’s financial past—making the temptation to fire him even greater.

The GOP isn’t quite sure what it’s helping Trump to cover up—but as long as he promises to sign its bills, the party will condone his outrageous misdeeds (http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2017/05/comey_s_gone_and_the_gop_doesn_t_care_is_there_any thing_trump_could_do_to.html).

This strategy now appears poised to backfire spectacularly.

On Wednesday, both the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/14/us/politics/mueller-trump-special-counsel-investigation.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=first-column-region&region=top-news&WT.nav=top-news) and the Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/special-counsel-is-investigating-trump-for-possible-obstruction-of-justice/2017/06/14/9ce02506-5131-11e7-b064-828ba60fbb98_story.html?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.dd585d5fe14a) reported that special counsel Robert Mueller is

investigating Trump’s inner circle for financial crimes.

This aggressive shift toward Trump associates’ personal dealings is disastrous news for the president, his allies, and his enablers.

At long last, federal investigators will probe Trump’s sprawling network for wrongdoing, picking up where reporters left off, only this time with subpoena power (http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/18/politics/donald-trump-robert-mueller-democracy/index.html). And Trump can only stop them by firing Mueller—a blatant obstruction of justice that would likely be more damaging than any crime the president may have committed in the past.

Mueller to study complex transactions conducted behind closed doors with little oversight. Mueller can depose witnesses, subpoena records (including tax returns), and interview the president himself under oath. His skilled staff can pursue multiple leads and offer immunity to witnesses who are willing to talk. The special counsel can follow the breadcrumbs of criminality wherever they lead him, even if—especially if—they lead to the Oval Office.

There’s the Azerbaijan hotel project (http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/13/donald-trumps-worst-deal) propped up by graft and bribery with ties to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. The charitable foundation (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-boasts-of-his-philanthropy-but-his-giving-falls-short-of-his-words/2016/10/29/b3c03106-9ac7-11e6-a0ed-ab0774c1eaa5_story.html?utm_term=.f5389b69dab7) accused of self-dealing and tax fraud. The questionable Deutsche Bank loans (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/05/trump-deutsche-bank-loans-russia/) with ties to Moscow. The close association (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/26/us/politics/jared-kushner-beny-steinmetz.html) with allegedly criminal international companies.

More Trash gifts to Pootin

Donald Trump’s new hardline policy on Cuba is yet another gift to Russia

But most foreign-policy observers think

Russia has more to gain if the US restricts ties with Cuba than if it expands them.

Without cash from US tourists and companies, the island will be increasingly dependent on Russia as an economic patron, especially as Venezuela, another stalwart Cuban ally, falls apart.

“If we pull out and return to a policy of isolation, then we leave the field open, not just for the Russians but for

the Chinese, who are also really interested in building influence in Cuba,”

William Leogrande, an American University expert on Latin America, told me last week.

In recent years,

Russia has forgiven billions of dollars of Cuban debt and become

a major supplier of petroleum once again.

Military cooperation between the two countries,

including a Russian base 90 miles from the US mainland, could be next on the agenda.

“A close military alliance between Russia and Cuba could have grave security consequences for the United States,” US senator Patrick Leahy warned in an op-ed (http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/foreign-policy/337794-putins-stake-in-president-trumps-decision-on-cuba-policy) yesterday. “One obvious way to mitigate Russian influence in our hemisphere is through enhanced engagement with Cuba.”

Lobbyist for Russian interests says he attended dinners hosted by Sessions

Richard Burt contradicts Jeff Sessions’ testimony that he didn’t believe he had contacts with lobbyists working for Russian interests during Trump’s campaign

An American lobbyist for Russian interests who helped craft an important foreign policy speech for Donald Trump has confirmed that he attended two dinners hosted by Jeff Sessions during the 2016 campaign, apparently contradicting the attorney general’s sworn testimony (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jun/13/jeff-sessions-russia-collusion-senate-testimony) given this week.

Sessions testified under oath on Tuesday that he did not believe he had any contacts with lobbyists working for Russian interests over the course of Trump’s campaign.

But Richard Burt, a former ambassador to Germany during the Reagan administration, who has represented Russian interests in Washington, told the Guardian that he could confirm previous media reports that stated he had contacts with Sessions at the time.

“I did attend two dinners with groups of former Republican foreign policy officials and Senator Sessions,” Burt said.

Asked whether Sessions was unfamiliar with Burt’s role as a lobbyist for Russian interests – a fact that is disclosed in public records – or had any reason to be confused about the issue, Burt told the Guardian that he did not know.

Several media reports published before Trump’s election in November noted that Burt advised then candidate Trump on his first major foreign policy speech, a role that brought him into contact with Sessions personally.

CNN's Smerconish Makes Case Trump Didn't Obstruct Justice
Lawyer and CNN host Michael Smerconish on Friday said the obstruction of justice probe into President Donald Trump "absolutely is a witch hunt," and that the president "deserves better than this."

In a near 6-minute video posted on his Facebook page, Smerconish breaks down the sequence of events at the heart of the reported investigation into Trump, making the case that there is no obstruction of justice.
The host of "The Michael Smerconish Program" on Sirius XM began with the "pledge of loyalty" conversation between Trump and then FBI Director James Comey in January.

"President Trump had the audacity to say to Jim Comey, 'I need your loyalty.' As if that's a criminal offense," Smerconish says. "There is nothing at all wrong with that. As a mater of fact, President Trump would be derelict in his duty if he had a disloyal head of the FBI."
Smerconish then shames the "bastards in the mainstream media" for abetting the distractions and the cloud that had been preventing Trump from accomplishing his goals of "making America great again."

He then addressed the termination of Comey.

"You're damn right he fired him," Smerconish says. "President Trump didn't like Hillary Clinton … but Comey did her wrong. And that bothers Donald Trump. … Donald Trump got rid of an FBI director who had lost the trust of the bureau, and he did all the rest of us a favor in the process."
Smerconish dismissed the "nut job" and "relieve pressure" comments Trump made to the Russians during their Oval Office visit.

"He was being honest with the Russians," Smerconish said. "And you know why he said that? He meant that he had done it to relieve pressure that he was fearing, facing, that was preventing him from achieving his agenda.

"Look, the whole thing — it absolutely is a witch hunt, and Donald Trump deserves better than this," Smerconish concludes.

CNN's Smerconish Makes Case Trump Didn't Obstruct Justice
Lawyer and CNN host Michael Smerconish on Friday said the obstruction of justice probe into President Donald Trump "absolutely is a witch hunt," and that the president "deserves better than this."

In a near 6-minute video posted on his Facebook page, Smerconish breaks down the sequence of events at the heart of the reported investigation into Trump, making the case that there is no obstruction of justice.
The host of "The Michael Smerconish Program" on Sirius XM began with the "pledge of loyalty" conversation between Trump and then FBI Director James Comey in January.

"President Trump had the audacity to say to Jim Comey, 'I need your loyalty.' As if that's a criminal offense," Smerconish says. "There is nothing at all wrong with that. As a mater of fact, President Trump would be derelict in his duty if he had a disloyal head of the FBI."
Smerconish then shames the "bastards in the mainstream media" for abetting the distractions and the cloud that had been preventing Trump from accomplishing his goals of "making America great again."

He then addressed the termination of Comey.

"You're damn right he fired him," Smerconish says. "President Trump didn't like Hillary Clinton … but Comey did her wrong. And that bothers Donald Trump. … Donald Trump got rid of an FBI director who had lost the trust of the bureau, and he did all the rest of us a favor in the process."

BS.

He would never say such a thing. I watch him all the time.

Maybe it's that language barrier thing but he was role playing what a Trump defense (Trump lawyer) would argue against.

Smerconish dismissed the "nut job" and "relieve pressure" comments Trump made to the Russians during their Oval Office visit.

"He was being honest with the Russians," Smerconish said. "And you know why he said that? He meant that he had done it to relieve pressure that he was fearing, facing, that was preventing him from achieving his agenda.

Why Trump is really angry: Mueller is following the money (http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/6/15/1672030/-Why-Trump-is-really-angry-Mueller-is-following-the-money)

the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/14/us/politics/mueller-trump-special-counsel-investigation.html?action=Click&contentCollection=BreakingNews&contentID=65438771&pgtype=article&_r=0&referer=https://t.co/kiBu89BLxB?amp=1)piece from later on Wednesday evening finishes on a note that’s likely behind the increase in orange ire.


A former senior official said Mr. Mueller’s investigation was looking at money laundering by Trump associates.

The suspicion is that any

cooperation with Russian officials would most likely have been done in exchange for some kind of financial payoff, and that there

would have been an effort to hide the payoffs, most likely by routing them through offshore banking centers.


Looking into not just Trump’s finances, but those of

Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn and others makes it all but certain that someone is going to find a friendly team of agents at their door.

That is, if Trump allows Mueller to complete the investigation.

In fact, if Mueller is looking for money laundering, he really doesn’t need to look all that hard (https://www.fincen.gov/news/news-releases/fincen-fines-trump-taj-mahal-casino-resort-10-million-significant-and-long). (https://www.fincen.gov/news/news-releases/fincen-fines-trump-taj-mahal-casino-resort-10-million-significant-and-long)

March 06, 2015


WASHINGTON, DC – The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) today imposed a $10 million civil money penalty against Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort (Trump Taj Mahal), for willful and repeated violations of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). […]

Trump Taj Mahal admitted that it failed to implement and maintain an effective [Anti Money Laundering] program; :lol

failed to report suspicious transactions; :lol

failed to properly file required currency transaction reports; :lol



failed to keep appropriate records as required by the BSA. :lol



Looking into money laundering around Trump is like investigating moisture in the middle of the ocean.

If that’s not enough money laundering by Trump, there’s more. (https://www.ft.com/content/33285dfa-9231-11e6-8df8-d3778b55a923?mhq5j=e2)


A Financial Times investigation has found evidence that one Trump venture has multiple ties to an alleged international money laundering network.

Title deeds, bank records and correspondence show that a Kazakh family accused of laundering hundreds of millions of stolen dollars bought luxury apartments in a Manhattan tower part-owned by Mr Trump and embarked on major business ventures with one of the tycoon’s partners.

(http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/fbi-russia-mafia-trump-tower-two-years-2016-presidential-election-us-money-laundering-alimzhan-a7642851.html)
And more (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/fbi-russia-mafia-trump-tower-two-years-2016-presidential-election-us-money-laundering-alimzhan-a7642851.html) ...






The FBI did wiretap Trump Tower to monitor Russian activity, but it had nothing to do with the 2016 Presidential election, it has been reported.

Between 2011 and 2013 the Bureau had a warrant to spy on a high-level criminal Russian money-laundering ring, which operated in unit 63A of the iconic skyscraper — three floors below Mr Trump's penthouse.




And more (http://fortune.com/2017/05/17/donald-trump-russia-2/) …



The plaintiffs in a 2015 racketeering case against Bayrock, Sater, and Arif, among others, alleged in the civil lawsuit that:

“for most of its existence it was substantially and covertly mob-owned and operated,”

engaging “in a pattern of continuous, related crimes, including mail, wire, and bank fraud; tax evasion; money laundering; conspiracy; bribery; extortion; and embezzlement.”

Although the lawsuit does not allege complicity by Trump, it claims that

Bayrock exploited its joint ventures with Trump as a conduit for laundering money and evading taxes.

The lawsuit cites as a “Concrete example of their crime,[B]

Trump SoHo, [which] stands 454 feet tall at Spring and Varick, where it also stands monument to spectacularly corrupt money-laundering and tax evasion.”



Money laundering is what Trump does.

My question remains, and this is a really good way to falsify my theory. Be happy to admit he isn't compromised, if some evidence supports that. Everything he has done thus far is consistent with compromised and/or some level of collusion. Any actions against Russia would put that to rest. The more he ignores this, the thinner your denials will be, and the stronger the case gets.

[doesn't answer, asks a question instead]

Hmm. I didn't think my question was that hard.

It is almost as if you don't want to, or can't answer it, and this is a recurring pattern in our interactions. Instead of dealing with something that you might not like directly, you dodge and deflect. It usually takes about 3-5 times of me asking a direct question to get an answer.

You would do well to think about why that is. Here is something you might find helpful.

https://designmatrix.wordpress.com/2010/11/14/ten-signs-of-intellectual-honesty-2/

10. Be willing to publicly acknowledge when a point or criticism is good. If someone is unable or unwilling to admit when their opponent raises a good point or makes a good criticism, it demonstrates an unwillingness to participate in the give-and-take that characterizes an honest exchange.

So, let's try one more time, so we can get to something we can agree with. A good debate has to establish facts, and lay ground work, and that can't be done if basic reality can't be agreed on.

Draining the swamp means not only ejecting Trump from the presidency, but also bringing himself and everyone assisting in his agenda up on charges of treason. They must be convicted (there is little room to doubt their guilt). And then — upon receiving guilty verdicts — they must all be executed under the law. Anything less than capital punishment — or at least life imprisonment without parole in a maximum security detention facility — would send yet another message to the world that America has lost its moral compass.

Yeah, I don't think action/inaction on Russia proves anything.

The only thing the Trump administration appears to be angling for is removing economic sanctions on Russia. One has to wonder why this choice of action is indicated, when common sense would seem to dictate that rewarding them would not be appropriate.

This administration is reinstating restrictions on Cuba, because they view Cuba as hostile, wants to scrap the Iran deal, because they view Iran as hostile, talks about militarily threatening North Korea, because they view NK as hostile, yet nothing about Russia, other than pushing to ease sanctions.

The bill hasn't even made it through the house so Trump hasn't even had the opportunity to sign or reject it---the question you've asked 20 times at this point is moot until it clears the house.

If he signs it that would be action against Russia and you claim that it would put your theory to rest, I don't believe that for a second. If he doesn't sign it you'll come back and say he's compromised, while failing to realize if he didn't sign the bill it was because of threats of retaliation from Germany and Austria due both countries being hurt by the sanctions.

i dont see how there's a conflict of interest if comey isnt the subject of the investigation.

the result of the investigation or potential charges are completely inconsequential as to comey. he doesn't stand to benefit from it one way or the other.

i'd have to sift through case law on what constitutes a conflict on interests in this scenario to be certain, and i dont have a ton of time. my gut says no. if you have to recuse yourself because you have a conflict with any tangentially related party to an investigation, then how the fuck can people in government ever be investigated without a conflict somewhere?

Rosenstein may need to recuse himself from Russia probe: ABC News

U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has privately acknowledged he may need to recuse himself from matters relating to the Russia probe,

given that he could become a potential witness in the investigation,

Republicans are already placing their bets on who Pence will pick as his VP after Trump

the latest Republican “parlor game” focuses on who current Vice President Mike Pence would choose as his own VP should President Donald Trump be impeached.

Played in “the shadows of the Russia investigation,” this VP speculation game focuses on the desired “effect” each speculative vice president would have on the country.

The choice of Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan or Nikki Haley would result in a “return to normalcy,”

while Bob Gates or John Boehner would help ease the “anxiety” created by Trump.

Picking Joe Biden or Michael Bloomberg, Axios noted, would “calm the country”

by assuring them there would be no Trump-era status quo in the White House, whereas someone like

Jeff Sessions, Rudy Giuliani or Newt Gingrich

would “keep the spirit of America First Trumpism alive.”

Lawyer Claims Despite Tweets, Trump Isn’t Under Investigation, ‘Period’

Jay Sekulow, an attorney on President Donald Trump’s legal team, on Sunday said Trump is not under investigation despite a Washington Post report (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/special-counsel-is-investigating-trump-for-possible-obstruction-of-justice/2017/06/14/9ce02506-5131-11e7-b064-828ba60fbb98_story.html?utm_term=.4277abcd162a) to the contrary and a tweet from Trump himself that appeared to confirm the report.

“He’s not afraid of the investigation. There is no investigation. I want to be clear here,” Sekulow said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”

When pressed to respond more generally to the federal probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, he added:

“There is not an investigation of the President of the United States. Period.”

He said Trump posted the tweet in response to the Washington Post’s report.

“The response from the president, using social media, was about that story,” Sekulow said.

“But let me be very clear here, as it has been since the beginning, the President is not and has not been under investigation for obstruction.”

Sessions Dined With Lobbyist For Russian Corps, Omitted It In Testimony

On Thursday, an American lobbyist for several major Russian interests, including a state-run energy company and a private equity firm with the state-run Alfa bank, told the Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jun/15/lobbyist-russian-interests-jeff-sessions-testimony?CMP=share_btn_tw) that Sessions in fact hosted him at two dinners during the presidential campaign. The dinners occurred around the time time that the American public learned of Russian efforts to influence the presidential election.

Richard Burt, a former U.S. ambassador to Germany who now lobbies on behalf a pipeline company owned by the Russian energy giant Gazprom, said he attended events with Sessions at least twice last year, and

his ties to the Trump campaign were reported (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/donald-trump-campaign-lobbyist-russian-pipeline-229264) as early as last October.

Burt also serves on the board of the Center for the National Interest, a Russia-friendly D.C. think tank that hosted Trump’s foreign policy speech at the Mayflower Hotel last April.

Politico reported (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/donald-trump-campaign-lobbyist-russian-pipeline-229264) that Burt helped shape the address Trump delivered at that event, which

Sessions attended as the chairman of the Trump campaign’s national security committee.

This is not the first time Sessions has failed, under oath, to recall a meeting with a Russian official or ally.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/sessions-lobbyist-russian-meeting-trump

===============

Burt became an advisor for the presidential campaign (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_presidential_campaign,_2016) of Donald Trump (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump).[11] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Burt#cite_note-11)

He encouraged Trump to take a less interventionist approach to foreign affairs[12] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Burt#cite_note-12) and

helped craft Trump's first major foreign policy speech at the pro-Russia think tank Center for the National Interest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_for_the_National_Interest) on April 27, 2016. In the speech,

Trump called for greater cooperation with Russia.

During the campaign, Burt also wrote white papers for Jeff Sessions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Sessions) on foreign policy and national security.

Burt's simultaneous roles as a campaign adviser for Trump and a lobbyist for Russian interests first drew scrutiny in October 2016 following the revelations of other connections between the campaign and Russia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump%E2%80%93Russia_dossier).

So Burt is also one of Pootin's cheap whores

“I am being investigated for firing the FBI Director by the man who told me to fire the FBI Director!”That was Trump’s Friday morning Tweet to the world and his attorneys must be reaching for smelling salts and wondering for the nth time how their client can be so stupid: (http://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-declares-war-on-rosenstein-he-has-no-qualms-about-throwing-him-under-a-bus?via=newsletter&source=DDAfternoon)

“It’s clear that this tweet has not been vetted by his [Trump’s] attorney,”

said former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti.

“In addition to confirming that he is under investigation, the tweet makes a factual statement regarding the president’s decision to fire James Comey, which is a subject of the investigation. You can bet that when the president testifies regarding his role in Comey’s firing, he will be asked about this tweet.

”A frustrated senior Trump administration official quipped in response to the tweet,

“Has anyone read him his Miranda rights?” :lol

The implication being that Trump would do well to remain silent on the issue of his own criminal investigation.

“He’s furious at Rosenstein, but the list of his people who enrage him is ever-growing,” a longtime Trump confidant, who recently spoke to the president, told The Daily Beast.

“He has no qualms about throwing [Rosenstein] under a bus.”


Trump is fumbling and flailing and not just with his thumbs on twitter, typing “covfefe.”

He's bouncing off the ropes. Fine, let him.

A heavyweight named Mueller is warming up

and when he and Trump are in the ring together it will be a match that will be described by historians as "epic."

In a report on the outlet's Sunday show, "This Week," ABC News senior justice correspondent Pierre Thomas said his choice will be "momentous."

"Now my sources are telling me he's begun some preliminary planning," Thomas said. "Plans to talk to some people in the administration. But he's not yet made that momentous decision to go for a full-scale investigation."

How Michael Flynn’s Disdain for Limits Led to a Legal Quagmire

In the summer of 2014, after repeatedly clashing with other Obama administration officials over his management of the Defense Intelligence Agency — and what he saw as his unheeded warnings about the rising power of Islamic militants — Mr. Flynn was fired

his foray into consulting has become a legal and political quagmire, driven by the same disdain for boundaries that once propelled his rise in the military.

His business ties are now the subject of a broad inquiry by a special counsel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion with Trump associates.

That investigation now includes work Mr. Flynn did for Russian clients (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/16/us/politics/michael-flynn-russia-paid-trip.html) and for a Turkish businessman (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/10/us/politics/michael-flynn-turkey.html) with ties to that country’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

But Mr. Flynn also became entangled with controversial clients.

One company that paid him, OSY Technologies, is part of a cyberweapons company whose software has been used to hack Mexican activists and an opposition leader in the Middle East.

Another, a Boston company selling a technology to replace lie detectors, is accused by its former chief scientist of marketing a counterfeit version of his technology to foreign clients.

Dozens of interviews and a review of public documents suggest that Mr. Flynn’s business was as scattershot as it was ambitious — and that there were few opportunities he would pass up.

Adam Schiff Admits There’s No ‘Proof’ Of Trump-Russia Collusion [VIDEO]

[baseline bum]

^ LOL Cucker Tarlson's website

[boutons_deux]

The Trump team’s spin about the Russia probe sinks deeper into absurdity

two other important pieces of spin Sekulow offered:

Sekulow renewed the suggestion that Trump fired the FBI director at the recommendation of the deputy attorney general.

Trump reached his decision through a “collaborative process” in which Trump considered Rosenstein’s recommendation

This is absurd, because as we already know, Trump has confirmed on national television (http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/11/politics/trump-james-comey-nbc/index.html)that he was going to fire Comey regardless of Rosenstein’s recommendation and that his motive was rooted in unhappiness (https://www.vox.com/2017/5/11/15628276/trump-comey-fired-russia) with Comey’s handling of the Russia probe. But, more to the point, the fact that Sekulow is going here — again — means scrutiny will intensify on the meeting that Trump held (https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2017/06/15/trump-is-now-under-investigation-and-he-has-no-one-to-blame-but-himself/?utm_term=.98f5ac592c54) with Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions just before firing Comey.

Sekulow deliberately narrowed the scope of the Trump conduct that’s at issue.

complaining (http://www.foxnews.com/transcript/2017/06/18/jay-sekulow-on-reports-bob-mueller-has-widened-investigation.html) that Trump is “being investigated for taking the action that the attorney general and deputy attorney general recommended him to take by the agency who recommended the termination.”

This notion, which reprises a complaint Trump himself voiced on Twitter (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/875701471999864833), buffoonishly contradicts the suggestion that Trump isn’t under investigation, but put that aside for now. Sekulow is basically narrowing the question to one over whether Trump is being (or whether he should be) investigated for obstruction over the isolated act of firing Comey.

deliberately excludes all of the other Trump conduct that is at issue.

RandomGuy you're the self proclaimed conflict of interest specialist what's your take?

Depends on the construction of "personal relationship".

Comey isn't the one being investigated.

Hard to tell from a tweet, without researching.

[RandomGuy]

However, the requirements that would be necessary to even be nominated mean that there are very few people who could even do the job. While not being an expert on the specific qualifications, I would venture you’d need someone who fits the following at a bare minimum:
•Someone who understands Constitutional law
•Someone who understands criminal law
•Someone with an impeccable reputation for fairness, honesty and competence to run an investigation.
•Someone that can get along with the various members of Congress since ultimately he will require their buy-in/assistance with whatever results come out of the investigation, and will require assistance as the investigation goes on. Finesse with the political aspect of the job is required, otherwise it could derail the investigation or cast doubt on the results.
•Someone who understands the nuts and bolts of investigating, government regulations/codes/procedures that might apply and possibly a knowledge of how to prosecute criminal cases against prominent government officials.

Not any lawyer in DC could do this job. The above would pretty much limit candidates to people who have either worked with or for the DOJ or the FBI or CIA.

There would be very few people with the reputation, experience/credentials, and the credibility to fill the job. The only people you could even get buy-in for would be people who have actually spent time in government at a high level. And those people with that background would know other prominent people in government.

Mueller in particular appears to fit all of the above. Republicans and Democrats appear to trust his capabilities and his ability to run an investigation without any hiccups.

Frankly, Mueller would have to present to the Congress and ultimately to the public an iron clad case with no holes in it. Whatever conclusions he comes to will be heavily scrutinized both by Congress and by the public and the media, especially if his findings are damning to Trump and result in some kind of Congressional action against him. The stakes are just too high for the case to be anything but airtight for or against Trump. His friendship with Comey will not save a bad case or enhance a good one.

Seems to sum it up for me.

A flaw, but not a significant one. The problem with holding such, is that the pool of potential special counsel people is so small.

[AaronY]

Been the best year of me life.

Let us proceed...
So you're an old white trash guy with an admittedly broken dick and vicariously living through Trump in your twilight years is the best you've ever been able to do in life?

[RandomGuy]

i dont see how there's a conflict of interest if comey isnt the subject of the investigation.

the result of the investigation or potential charges are completely inconsequential as to comey. he doesn't stand to benefit from it one way or the other.

i'd have to sift through case law on what constitutes a conflict on interests in this scenario to be certain, and i dont have a ton of time. my gut says no. if you have to recuse yourself because you have a conflict with any tangentially related party to an investigation, then how the fuck can people in government ever be investigated without a conflict somewhere?

how can anybody in the FBI investigate if comey was the director of the FBI :lol...

Everything he has done thus far is consistent with compromised and/or some level of collusion. Any actions against Russia would put that to rest. The more he ignores this, the thinner your denials will be, and the stronger the case gets.

What steps has the Trump administration undertaken to hold Russia to account for this?

Let's try this again.

What steps has the Trump administration undertaken to hold Russia to account for this?


[doesn't answer, asks a question instead]

Hmm. I didn't think my question was that hard.

It is almost as if you don't want to, or can't answer it, and this is a recurring pattern in our interactions. Instead of dealing with something that you might not like directly, you dodge and deflect. It usually takes about 3-5 times of me asking a direct question to get an answer.

You would do well to think about why that is. Here is something you might find helpful.

https://designmatrix.wordpress.com/2010/11/14/ten-signs-of-intellectual-honesty-2/

10. Be willing to publicly acknowledge when a point or criticism is good. If someone is unable or unwilling to admit when their opponent raises a good point or makes a good criticism, it demonstrates an unwillingness to participate in the give-and-take that characterizes an honest exchange.

So, let's try one more time, so we can get to something we can agree with. A good debate has to establish facts, and lay ground work, and that can't be done if basic reality can't be agreed on.

Judicial Watch: Obama NSC Advisor Susan Rice’s Unmasking Material is at Obama Library

JUNE 19, 2017

Records Sought by Judicial Watch May Remain Closed to the Public for Five Years

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today announced that the National Security Council (NSC) on May 23, 2017, informed it by letter that the materials regarding the unmasking by Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice of “the identities of any U.S. citizens associated with the Trump presidential campaign or transition team” have been removed to the Obama Library.

The NSC will not fulfill an April 4 Judicial Watch request for records regarding information relating to people “who were identified pursuant to intelligence collection activities.”

The agency also informed Judicial Watch that it would not turn over communications with any Intelligence Community member or agency concerning the alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election; the hacking of DNC computers; or the suspected communications between Russia and Trump campaign/transition officials. Specifically, the NSC told Judicial Watch:

Documents from the Obama administration have been transferred to the Barack Obama Presidential Library. You may send your request to the Obama Library. However, you should be aware that under the Presidential Records Act, Presidential records remain closed to the public for five years after an administration has left office.

Judicial Watch’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) April 4 request sought:

1.) Any and all requests for information, analyses, summaries, assessments, transcripts, or similar records submitted to any Intelligence Community member agency or any official, employee, or representative thereof by former National Security Advisor Susan Rice regarding, concerning, or related to the following:

Any actual or suspected effort by the Russian government or any individual acting on behalf of the Russian government to influence or otherwise interfere with the 2016 presidential election.
The alleged hacking of computer systems utilized by the Democratic National Committee and/or the Clinton presidential campaign.
Any actual or suspected communication between any member of the Trump presidential campaign or transition team and any official or employee of the Russian government or any individual acting on behalf of the Russian government.
The identities of U.S. citizens associated with the Trump presidential campaign or transition team who were identified pursuant to intelligence collection activities.
2.) Any and all records or responses received by former National Security Advisor Susan Rice and/or any member, employee, staff member, or representative of the National Security Council in response to any request described in part 1 of this request.

3.) Any and all records of communication between any official, employee, or representative of the Department of any Intelligence Community member agency and former National Security Advisor Susan Rice and/or any member, employee, staff member, or representative of the National Security Council regarding, concerning, or related to any request described in Part 1 of this request.

The time frame for this request was January 1, 2016, to the April 4, 2017.

While acknowledging in its FOIA request that “we are cognizant of the finding by the Court of Appeals … that [the NSC] “does not exercise sufficiently independent authority to be an ‘agency’ for purposes of the Freedom of Information Act,” Judicial Watch argued:

The records sought in this request pertain to actions by the former National Security Advisor that demonstrate a much higher degree of independent authority than was contemplated by the court; specifically, the issuance of directives to the Intelligence Community related to the handling of classified national security information…

The recent revelations of the role of Susan Rice in the unmasking the names of U.S. citizens identified in the course of intelligence collection activities and the potential that her actions contributed to the unauthorized disclosure of classified national security information are matters of great public interest.

Judicial Watch has filed six FOIA lawsuits related to the surveillance, unmasking, and illegal leaking targeting President Trump and his associates (see here, here, here, here, here and here).

“Prosecutors, Congress, and the public will want to know when the National Security Council shipped off the records about potential intelligence abuses by the Susan Rice and others in the Obama White House to the memory hole of the Obama Presidential Library,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “We are considering our legal options but we hope that the Special Counsel and Congress also consider their options and get these records.”

Democratic lawmakers press Flynn on Middle East trips

Democratic lawmakers investigating fired national security adviser Michael Flynn's security clearance said Monday

they could not find the hotel Flynn said he stayed at during a 2015 trip to Saudi Arabia or :lol

any record of a conference he reported attending. :lol

In a letter to companies for which Flynn worked, U.S. Representatives Elijah Cummings and Eliot Engel requested documents related to Flynn's work in Saudi Arabia, Russia and other countries. They said

Flynn had not accurately reported his foreign travels and contacts in a 2016 application to renew his security clearance.

While Flynn disclosed an October 2015 trip to Saudi Arabia, Cummings and Engel said Flynn omitted key details and said they could not identify any conference he may have attended or find the hotel he reported staying at during the trip.

The two lawmakers said they were most

troubled by the lack of any Flynn record identifying "even a single foreign government official he had contact with in the seven years prior to submitting his security clearance application." :lol

Cummings and Engel also cited a recent Newsweek report which said Flynn took a trip to the Middle East in the summer of 2015 in pursuit of a joint U.S.-Russian venture to develop nuclear facilities, in a deal to be financed by Saudi Arabia.

"If this press report is accurate,

General Flynn's failure to report this trip and any contacts with foreign government officials about this Saudi-Russian nuclear proposal

appears to be a potential violation" of a law against making false statements to federal officials,

the letter said.
