View Full Version : Flynn in major trouble for speaking to Russia about sanctions

remember that early on Flynn “had a story to tell”. He now gets to tell his story without any limitations.
936972454701957120
Any and all crimes. He served for 33 years, he’s got dirt on everyone.:lol So you're saying he intentionally committed a felony in order to give information on all the crimes committed by the Satan worshiping, baby eating child sex traffickers for whom he gladly worked for 33 years?
Sounds legit.
What ever stopped him in the first place, TSA?

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK HE DIDN'T?

12-03-2017, 04:35 PM
Tbh...I dont know what he's trying to say. Pgardn is all over the place.
Collusion.
Plain and simple. Dump it. Say it's outrageous.
Even though I wish it could be proven at this point.
Why do people reply to this tsa guy. It's really doesn't go anywhere. :lol
Yeah?
And Djohn sees collusion. He sees Russian and the Trump campaign plotting as to exactly how they pull out this huge upset by targeting exactly the right swing states electorally. This would take a very large effort that should be extremely easy to trace. All we have seen is the Russians actually screwing with Trumo and Clinton. Basically Putting out a crapload of fake news about both candidates, but more about Hillary because there was more anger that would take hold in population of TSAs.
We see the Russians trying to capitalize on fake news by inciting fictional white hate groups. And putting out fictional stuff concerning Trump people providing plants at Hillary rallies and vice versa. This was told to Obama and Trump before and after the election via our intelligence that can't be believed by either side if the choose not to.
The huge point:
The above is by far the easiest way forTHE RUSSIANSto cause paranoia about the entire American political system. And we got Djohn and TSA to prove it. Not some smoky back room delving into votes in key states.
Djohn does not get that the Mueller investigation is putting an enormous effort into financial misdeeds and lying, not collusion with Russia. Lying merely about contacts that seems to involve $ in a number of situations. Before Nixon was elected, he had contacted N. Vietnam (who we are frkn at war with) and started negotiations about thwarting a decision by then president Johnson before the election to ensure Johnson and the Democrats were finished. Now this is the real thing. Djohn waits for something like this? Mueller is leading us all astray then.

So PG says all we have seen is Russia screwing with both candidates though Trump's entire cabinet and family met with Russians and for some odd reason Trunp lied about any of them having ever met any Russians, plus Trump's own adviser confirming Russia threw the election, plus Trunp JR meeting with Russians to get dirt on Hillary, plus Kushner and others Directing Flynn to speak with the Russians pre inauguration and right after the sanctions were implemented. Plus Russians being caught on tape talking about how to target Trump aides as being useful to them. Yeah thats what PG is saying that he hadn't seen.
djohn2oo8
12-03-2017, 04:43 PM
Oh and yeah let's not forget the fact Trump had fired Comey for not dropping the investigation, and asked Burr, the CIA and NSA to all drop it.

12-03-2017, 04:45 PM
Yes, Mueller is investigating all of this you dipshit. I like though how you said Mueller is investigating a wide array of things except collusion. You pretty much on your own defeated what you had to say.

Judicial Watch thinks that it is clearer than ever that Special Counsel Mueller's investigation is out-of-control, and so we are suing in federal court to hold him accountable — because no one is above the law! It's time for President Trump to shut this investigation down!

So what you're saying is Flynn is a bitch made who had to lie because he couldn't bare the thought of looking kinda off?
That's like admitting to your wife you cheated on her when you didn't to look alpha. And for no reason. :lol

Sure.
I would love to see Trump gone.
You have a bunch of Bozos meeting with Russians and lying about it and when we look at the substance of the meetings they don't come close to collusion. It's more about financial relationships and possibly trying to avoid sanctions, not meetings discussing how to get Trump elected. If you can't see this I can't help you. It continued after the election. How can we both benefit meetings.
Meanwhile we know the Russians tried to create chaos for both camps and create general discord within the country and Trump attempts to look right past this. This is the problem, not Trump planning with Russians on how they can win the election for Trump. Read the underlined and try to get it. And if I am wrong, and Trump did plan with the Russians before the election to help him win illegally, I will fully admit I missed it. I'm confident I have not.

So candidates look for dirt on each other. How quaint.
We have been through this before ad nauseum. Just be glad Meuller is in action now as he can look for illegality outside of collusion with Russian intelligence. The biggest paranoid mistake Trump made, making room for Mueller. As I have said MULTIPLE times before, family members are in trouble.
Trump.... Not for collusion IMO based on our intelligence. Because that's really what we got and then the wake of destruction Mueller will leave because not much is leaking out of that office ahead.

What does the law say?
While experts cautioned against drawing any hard legal conclusions at this early stage, they said the circumstances surrounding the meeting between members of Trump’s inner circle and the Russian attorney could potentially violate U.S. federal election law.
"If the meeting is as described, it would raise serious issues of liability under laws restricting foreign participation and influence in American elections," said Samuel Issacharoff, a professor at New York University School of Law.
Federal law prohibits a foreign national from giving anything of value to a campaign engaged in a U.S. election. It’s also a crime to solicit a foreign national to do so, or even to "knowingly provide substantial assistance" in receiving something of value.
While illegal foreign contributions typically take the form of money, legal experts told us it’s possible a court could find that "information" satisfies the legal requirement if it’s considered valuable to a campaign.
"Contributions definitely do not need to be in the form of cash to constitute a thing of value," said Michael S. Kang, a law professor at Emory University Law School. "However, it also needs to be said that this is an unusual situation quite unlike the usual context for an illegal foreign contribution, typically in the form of money rather than information."
Additional legally significant questions remain unanswered, experts said, including whether the younger Trump engaged in these actions "knowingly."
However, some experts noted that recently-surfaced facts substantially flesh out the evidence needed to show intent.
"The tweeted emails make things worse for Trump Jr.," said Michael Gerhardt, a professor at UNC School of Law. "He looks now as if he attended the meeting with not only his eyes open but also to acquire information -- something of value -- in violation of federal law."

Why chaos? The GOP might feel they need to have the Dear Leader's back next year with midterms coming and Trump's popularity with Republican voters to try to fend of primary challengers. Flake and Corker already pussed out on their re-election bids after coming out against Trump. It sure seems like the GOP is scared of him. I don't think they'd do anything but maybe some weak interviews with the press condemning the move if he got Mueller fired.

Trump lawyer argues ‘president cannot obstruct justice’ because he is president
President Donald Trump’s layer claims his client cannot be guilty of obstruction of justice because he is the president.
John Dowd, the president’s outside lawyer, insisted he drafted Trump’s tweet over the weekend that seemingly confessed to obstruction but argued the social media posting did no such thing, reported Axios (https://www.axios.com/exclusive-trump-lawyer-claims-the-president-cannot-obstruct-justice-2514742663.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic).
“The tweet did not admit obstruction,” Dowd told the website. “That is an ignorant and arrogant assertion.”
The attorney insisted Trump could not possibly be guilty of obstruction because he was the chief executive.

Trump demanded son-in-law Jared Kushner fire Manafort. That following morning Manafort balked at the request to resign, concerned about the perception it was about the Ukraine stories.

Because to get to Mueller, Trump may need to fire Sessions first. Republicans love them some Sessions and you'll see them act should he fire Sessions first. It still won't matter because the investigation doesn't stop if Mueller is fired. Plus he can be reappointed in one of several ways.

Oh that would force the hand of way too many Republicans I believe. And then definitely lead to a much easier route to investigate obstruction of justice. If he totally wanted to go to the die hard, I'm with you even if you kill someone, maybe so. This would be incredibly divisive to a party that has just had to use extraordinary means to barely pass a significant bill (simple majority).
I think it would do the opposite of what you have stated.
It would be an amazing event to witness though. I imagine Mueller won't even talk to Trump unless they are both recorded. There is no Hillary Clinton email narrative to justify the firing, there is nothing. Trump could actually give Sessions a huge amount of power to do Trump in, dare him to fire a justice dept employee again. Would be a massive show.
Headline: Trump fires the Judicial Branch of Government. Only two branches left..
https://i.imgur.com/5mAusqR.png
https://i.imgur.com/XrfIe64.png
1. Oh, man. If I’m looking at things right, this OIG report is going to stun the nation. This is going to be MASSIVE.
2. POTUS may already have this report, given his tweets over the last 24 hours. Trump certainly knows about it. Even he seems shocked.
3. Forget Watergate. Forget any scandal you have ever heard about, researched or read about in your lifetimes. The scale of what is going to emerge in the next days and weeks will be unlike anything you have ever considered possible.
4. In the frame - the entire network that enabled Hillary Clinton’s corrupt campaign is about to be exposed & routed. This is the same network - but not all of it - that enabled Obama’s corruption, as well. But there's so much more that will probably be revealed.
5. Here’s the full original statement by the Office of the Inspector General dated Jan 12, 2017 -
oig.justice.gov/press/2017/201…
In this thread, let’s just consider the specific allegations they mention in the statement.
6. 'Allegations that Department or FBI policies or procedures were not followed in connection with, or in actions leading up to or related to, the FBI Director’s public announcement on July 5, 2016, /..
7./...and the Director’s letters to Congress on October 28 and November 6, 2016, and that certain underlying investigative decisions were based on improper considerations;’.
8. Targets : Comey, Lynch, Bill Clinton, McCabe, Strzok. Anyone involved in the fraudulent clearance of Hillary Clinton by James Comey on that fateful day in July, as well as the farcical shut down/cover up of the Human Abedin email trove (November) is about to be nailed.
9. Those not exposed have either flipped on a plea deal, or WILL be exposed. All of them.
Speculating - but I now suspect Strzok & perhaps Lisa Page flipped and were ‘recruited’ by Mueller into his SC, in order to tell the OIG everything they knew.
10. Next - 'Allegations that the FBI Deputy Director should have been recused from participating in certain investigative matters;’
Targets - Andrew McCabe & Comey.
11. This will expose McCabe’s links to the Clintons, especially his accepting some $700,000 as a bribe from the Clintons to cover up the investigations into her classified material. As well as any other shonky conduct he has been up to over the years.
12. Next - 'Allegations that the Department’s Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs improperly disclosed non-public information to the Clinton campaign and/or should have been recused from participating in certain matters;’
13. Target - Peter Kadzic.
This will expose Peter Kadzik’s role investigating & working with Comey / McCabe to shut down the Human Abedin email trove:
14. And also Kadzik's general collusion with the Clinton Campaign itself (note - this email was sent from his gmail to Podesta):
15. Next - 'Allegations that Department and FBI employees improperly disclosed non-public information;’
This will expose the LEAKERS. But also the entire Comey/ McCabe/Kadzik network within the FBI & DoJ may be in the frame here.
16. Note that this is about to drop just after genFlynn quietly departs the scene. Thomas Wictor’s important analysis has revealed Flynn’s masterful role in identifying these individuals.
17. Next - 'Allegations that decisions regarding the timing of the FBI’s release of certain FOIA documents on October 30 and November 1, 2016, and the use of a Twitter account to publicize same, were influenced by improper considerations.'
Oh boy. This is EXTREMELY interesting.
18. On October 30, 2016 FBIRecordsVault , a twitter account that had been inactive since 8 October 2015, suddenly exploded into life again.
There were TWENTY tweets released on October 30, 2016.
19. These included innocuous tweets about Eric Trump, the father of DJT:
And Nikola Tesla :
But there were other tweets, as well.
20. About General Petraus, whose career was ended by Obama for mishandling of classified information :
21. And about a certain infamous politician who had committed far more serious breaches, but always seemed to skate - Hillary Rodham Clinton :
22. On 1 November, the same twitter account tweeted about FBI investigations into a certain infamous President who always seemed to skate, as well - Bill Clinton:
23. Quote - 'The bulk of these records come from a 2001 FBI investigation into the pardon of Marc Rich (1934-2013), aka Marcell David Reich, by President Clinton in 2001.'
24. Targets : Bill Clinton, Eric Holder (the Assistant AG who cleared Rich) & John Podesta (Bill Clinton’s Chief of Staff).
Oh, another thing.
25. Following the pardon, the same Marc Rich helped Bill Clinton set up his Foundation, which used the front of a charity as cover for a massive criminal enterprise involving pay to play, money laundering, /...
26. /..racketeering & tax evasion - at the very least. Crimes Rich had a particular expertise in:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Rich…
27. The final sentence of the OIG statement is often overlooked, but VERY important.
'Finally, if circumstances warrant, the OIG will consider including other issues that may arise during the course of the review.'
28. This essentially authorizes the OIG & DOJ to investigate anything they want arising from the above, which is pretty much everything the Clintons & perhaps even Obama himself, have been up to.
29. Folks, I’m going to say it : #TheStorm IS ABOUT TO HIT. And it's unlike anything we have ever seen before.
BUCKLE UP.
The end.

If I’m looking at things right
1. The statement today by the DOJ Office of Inspector General is exceptionally noteworthy. cnn.com/2017/12/02/pol…
37 tweets 15 hours ago
Profil picture
Embed
TheLastRefuge @TheLastRefuge2 Follow Read on Twitter
2. What makes the statement noteworthy is that IG investigators don't generally talk when they're in the midst of their investigation.
3. The fact the DOJ Inspector General released a statement, generally implies the underlying investigation is coming to a close. [They are, most likely, in the writing report findings phase.]
4. Many people probably were probably not even aware the Office of Inspector General was investigating the FBI.
5. Those who were aware (the DOJ-OIG was investigating the FBI), likely forgot the investigation was happening because it has been going on for almost 11 months.
6. The investigation began in January of 2017 as an outcome of (righteous) concern the FBI senior leadership was compromised by politics ahead of the mission. oig.justice.gov/press/2017/201…
7. As you can see from the originating memorandum, the Inspector General probe has a wide berth to look at how internal politically corrupting influences might be shaping the outcomes within FBI investigations.
8. the DOJ-OIG anticipated their investigation lasting approximately a year. We are almost at the end of that year. Hence, the likelihood they are assembling a final report.
9. Based on the exceptional amount of controversial FBI decisions in the past several years, there's every reason to believe that IG report will lay bare the politicization at the highest levels of the FBI.
10. That anticipated 'IG-report-reality' is exactly the reason we are seeing this:
External Tweet loading...
If nothing shows, it may have been deleted
by @Comey view original on Twitter
11. No doubt the highest FBI politicized leadership that remains within the FBI is sending coffee talk to Comey (and others including media allies) who are no longer inside.
12. Those internal forces, black hats per se', are also likely the primary leakers from within the FBI over the past several years. They are leaking to media types like the New York Times, Washington Post and to a lesser extent CNN.
13. And that's what explains THIS:
Top FBI official assigned to Mueller’s Russia probe said to have been removed after sending anti-Trump texts
Private conduct of a senior counterintelligence agent and an FBI lawyer could stoke further debate about the bureau’s impartiality.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/two-senior-fbi-officials-on-clinton-trump-probes-exchanged-politically-charged-texts-disparaging-trump/2017/12/02/9846421c-d707-11e7-a986-d0a9770d9a3e_story.html?utm_term=.ea6233a6d2d5
14. In essence, the (generally ignored) year's-long Inspector General report of the top-tier of the FBI is coming to a close. And those *insiders* are leaking to get out ahead of the content of that IG report.
15. Remember, the entire construct of the IG report was based on identifying if politics was driving FBI outcomes. Naturally, there are going to be politicians, beneficiaries of the politicization, who will also join in the effort to undercut the IG findings in advance.
16. The inherent politicization, the BIG PICTURE here, is what explains THIS:
CA Dem. Dianne Feinstein: Senate's Russia probe is building a case for obstructing justice: NBC
Dianne Feinstein told NBC that the Judiciary Committee was exploring a potential obstruction of justice charge against President Donald Trump.
https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2017/12/03/dianne-feinstein-says-senate-probing-obstruction-of-justice-vs-trump.html
17. The likelihood of multiple top FBI officials, and more importantly their behavior, being identified by this probe is very high.
18. There's also great trepidation. Publicly showcasing how the FBI has been politicized for the benefit of one political ideology, and creating two sets of justice, is also very dangerous for the chief law enforcement agency of the country.
19. "Outing corrupt FBI officials" is not an endeavor to be taken lightly. In actuality it can undermine the entire system of the way law-and-order is perceived.
20. Think about how you would approach identifying corruption amid the FBI, yet still retaining public confidence within the institution.
21. Initially it might be easy to say: 'who cares, just do it'. However, there are big ramifications if not done correctly, with brutal honesty, and with full disclosure and public sunlight to explain the reasoning therein.
22. In advance of revealing such damaging information, the IG would need absolute impenetrable examples to hold up as evidence. In part because one-half of the ideological enterprise, including media, will seek to tear down any report not favorable to their tribe.
23. Meanwhile, if history serves as an accurate precursor for what follows, the leadership of the adverse political ideology will seek to blame Trump for eroding the trust, faith and integrity of the FBI.
24. It certainly appears the pending IG report on the FBI is what lies behind much of the current activity stirring amid the swamp. The top tier of the FBI, those who will be outed as "Black Hats, also have nothing to lose.
25. This FBI 'zero-sum outlook' explains why the FBI top-tier officials have refused to comply with congressional requests for information.

http://amp.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article187821979.html
26. Why should FBI officials help congress to discover information that shows those same FBI officials are corrupt? The easiest way to avoid oversight is non-compliance with the request from the compliance officers.
27. If you are a corrupt FBI official, inside an agency holding lots of top-tier corrupt FBI officials, and the only risk is political - and your tribe will attack your opponent based purely on ideological alignment, who cares if congress holds you in contempt.

30. Meanwhile, President Trump appears fully aware the IG report on the FBI is coming soon to the sunlight. He too gets to hear about leaks. The Black Hats leak to MSM, the White Hats leak to other White Hats.
31. People often think of Trump in narrow terms and forget he worked his way up to being an apex predator in Manhattan real estate by fine-tuning his instincts. He can smell a drop in an ocean. Those instincts are why he seems to have the ability to see around corners.
32. Trump, sort of like a lawyer, doesn't tweet something he doesn't already know the answer to. He baits the media to attack him.
33. This IG investigation is almost finished. No doubt Trump has a great instinct on the contents therein... hence, the tweet-bait. He's setting the stage for the grand reveal, by coaxing, goading, the MSM to chase him.
34. Trump wants media attacks on him, for his criticism of politicized FBI and Intelligence leadership.... because ultimately Trump knows the FBI and Intelligence community have been weaponized by politics. Heck, we all know this.
35. The media will chase him. Critics will blast him... and then all of a sudden, WHAMMO.... here's the year-long IG report on a political FBI leadership team. Which proves what he's been critical of. oig.justice.gov/press/2017/201…
36. And with the full attention of the public upon the dynamic, the issue of faith in the FBI is less consequential than the visible issue of Trump -VS- the Swamp. In essence, Trump protects the White Hats in the FBI by taking the heat upon himself.
37. See how that works?

Oh that would force the hand of way too many Republicans I believe. And then definitely lead to a much easier route to investigate obstruction of justice. If he totally wanted to go to the die hard, I'm with you even if you kill someone, maybe so. This would be incredibly divisive to a party that has just had to use extraordinary means to barely pass a significant bill (simple majority).
I think it would do the opposite of what you have stated.
It would be an amazing event to witness though. I imagine Mueller won't even talk to Trump unless they are both recorded. There is no Hillary Clinton email narrative to justify the firing, there is nothing. Trump could actually give Sessions a huge amount of power to do Trump in, dare him to fire a justice dept employee again. Would be a massive show.
Headline: Trump fires the Judicial Branch of Government. Only two branches left..
Extraordinary means? That's how they passed their tax cut last time under Bush. That's how they were trying to repeal the ACA. Extraordinary means would be doing something that could have gotten 8 Democrat votes to get to 60. You have way too much faith in the GOP breaking from Trump, which doesn't make much any sense to me as we're seeing the party being purged and remade in Trump's image.

Trump’s Lawyer Claims to Be Voice on “Access Hollywood” Tape
https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5a257361c62133102ed3b780/master/w_649,c_limit/Borowitz-Trumps-Lawyer-Claims-to-Be-Voice-on-Access-Hollywood-Tape.jpg
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report (https://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report))—Hoping to put to rest a mystery that has long bedeviled the nation, Donald J. Trump’s personal lawyer, John Dowd, revealed on Monday that it is actually his voice that appears on the notorious “Access Hollywood” tape.
Speaking to reporters, Dowd said that the so-called locker-room talk attributed to Trump had
actually been carefully crafted by the former reality-show host’s legal team and then read aloud by Dowd himself.\
Additionally, Dowd said that comments widely thought to have been made by
Trump indicating that he believed that Frederick Douglass was still alive were also Dowd’s handiwork.
“President Trump was about to say something about whether Frederick Douglass was alive or not, and I stepped in at that moment and said that he was,” Dowd said. “I stand by that statement.”
Dowd went on to say that other actions attributed to Trump since he took office,
including alienating nato allies,
stating that an imaginary armada was steaming toward North Korea, and
naming Anthony Scaramucci as White House communications director,
were all actually done by Dowd.
“Let’s be clear,” Dowd said.
“Since Donald Trump was elected President, he has done nothing.”

https://images.dailykos.com/images/399155/story_image/GettyImages-681461658.jpg?1494433581
Dowd told NBC News that he drafted the tweet and then sent it to White House Social Media Director Dan Scavino to publish.
Really?
And could Dowd produce that email?
When asked for the original email he sent to Scavino,
Dowd said he dictated it orally.
In other words,
he lied,
about his lie,
about his lie.
Right, Kellyanne (https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/937673788094894082)?
Dowd has another simultaneous assault (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/12/4/1720933/-Trump-s-lawyer-says-he-can-t-obstruct-justice-not-that-he-has-because-he-can-t)on reason underway.
The "President cannot obstruct justice
because he is the chief law enforcement officer under [the Constitution's Article II] and
has every right to express his view of any case," Dowd claims.
So …
Trump didn’t do it,
but if he did,
then it can’t be obstruction,
because he can’t obstruct.
But it doesn’t matter,
because Dowd did it.
By email.
Orally.
And Kellyanne saw the whole thing.
Other legal experts agree this is no big deal.

Trump May Think He’s Legally Immune From Obstruction Indictment. He’s Wrong.
Dershowitz didn’t say that presidents are immune from all obstruciton charges.
He said to charge a president with such an offense, “you need clearly illegal acts …
hush money paid,
telling people to lie,
destroying evidence,”
Like so many things in the pre-Trump age, immunity was essentially assumed, and barely analyzed.
St. Clair wrote in his brief (https://mobile.nytimes.com/1998/01/25/weekinreview/the-nation-a-primer-prosecuting-a-president.html), “It has never been seriously disputed by legal scholars, jurists, or constitutional authorities that a President may not be indicted while he is an incumbent.”
St. Clair was right. It never has been seriously disputed by anyone. But that sure doesn’t mean that it couldn’t be. St. Clair had two main arguments for presidential immunity:
1) because the entire power of the executive branch vests in the president alone, it’s ridiculous to think he could be subject to prosecution; and
2) because the Constitutional provision on impeachment specifically says that an impeached official is subject to prosecution after removal from office,
the framers must have meant that those officials couldn’t be prosecuted before they were removed from office.
While those are certainly reasonable arguments, they’re not even close to air-tight.
Trump’s arrogant above-the-law persona doesn’t mix well with the judiciary, and
even judges would be willing to find presidents immune,
I’d be shocked to see them do so on these grounds.
Jaworski also noted that the clause in the Constitution applied to all officials who are subject to impeachment, not just to the President.
To me, that makes the interpretation pretty obvious.
Officials other than the president can certainly be prosecuted;
therefore, it’s not really logical to conclude that the clause prohibited prosecutions of the president or anyone else.

“Dowd is basically arguing that as the chief law enforcement officer,
Trump has the authority to block investigations
into himself, his allies and into his friends, and
nothing he does can be construed as obstruction of justice,”
Matthew Miller, a former Justice Department spokesman, told me this morning.
“The logical extension of all this is that Trump can try to remove Mueller and it would be entirely legitimate.”
Trump is amplifying a narrative that his media allies have banged away at in recent weeks, one designed to
goad Trump (https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2017/10/31/trump-and-his-allies-are-laying-the-groundwork-for-a-saturday-night-massacre/?utm_term=.db6d5a40cffd) into going full authoritarian.
The basic idea is that Mueller and the FBI are themselves corrupt — Clinton is not being investigated, but Trump’s campaign is — so the only way to set things right is to close down Mueller’s probe.
The bottom line: Trump’s legal and/or political exposure — and that of his top advisers — appears to have grown.
And given Trump’s response, so too has the possibility that he will try to put a stop to the investigation.

Who Lied to Who When and Why It Barely Matters
https://dawm7kda6y2v0.cloudfront.net/uploads/2017/11/
[email protected]
.....
What does that all mean? Certainly it means that the ‘he fired because he lied to Pence” explanation for Flynn’s firing was bogus.
Why?
Because the whole senior staff knew these claims were false and let the falsehood stand for weeks.
It also makes it very likely that the whole discussion about just when Yates said this and McGahn said that is meaningless since Trump and Pence likely knew all of this more than a month before Flynn was fired.
Flynn was very tight with Trump.
I think it’s highly unlikely that Trump didn’t know Flynn was interviewed on the day in question.
It’s likely they discussed it.
They were talking all the time.
In any case, continuing to discuss this question on the basis of the ‘Flynn lied to Pence’ canard or when Sally Yates brought the news to the White House just means
we’re trying to understand what happened within the framework of what we now know are lies.
We shouldn’t.
Trump’s top advisors knew the true nature of the calls and repeatedly lied about it to reporters.
This is the only plausible read of the the current evidence.
They allowed Pence’s false statements to stand for weeks, which amounts to a furtherance of those lies.
We’re simply not dealing with something the key people found out in late January.
This was a cover-up, a string of publicly verified deceptions that went back to the beginning of the month.

Why the Trump Team Should Fear the Logan Act
The Logan Act (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/953) makes it a crime for a United States citizen, “without authority” from the federal government, to communicate with foreign officials in order to “influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government” in a dispute with the United States or “to defeat the measures of the United States.”
A conviction can result in a prison sentence of up to three years.
The statute, which has been on the books since the early days of the republic, reflects an important principle.
The president is — as the Supreme Court has said time (https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=16160678651618183198&q=curtiss+wright+%22sole+organ%22&hl=en&as_sdt=400006) and again (https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=16655038412990051708&q=curtiss+wright+%22sole+organ%22&hl=en&as_sdt=400006) — “the sole organ of the nation in its external relations.”
If private citizens could hold themselves out as representatives of the United States and work at cross-purposes with the president’s own diplomatic objectives, the president’s ability to conduct foreign relations would be severely hampered.
The statute applies squarely to Mr. Flynn.
According to court filings, a “very senior member” of the Trump transition team told Mr. Flynn on or about Dec. 22, 2016, to contact officials from Russia and other foreign governments regarding a resolution (http://www.un.org/webcast/pdfs/SRES2334-2016.pdf) pending before the United Nations Security Council that condemned Israeli settlement activity.
Mr. Flynn then asked the Russian ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak, to delay a vote on the resolution or use Russia’s veto to prevent it from passing.
The conversation between Mr. Flynn and Mr. Kislyak about the Security Council resolution clearly falls within the Logan Act’s scope.
The Obama administration, frustrated with Israeli settlement activity, had chosen not to use its veto to block the measure.
Mr. Flynn’s overture to Russia was thus an attempt to countermand the current administration’s decision regarding a highly sensitive foreign policy subject.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/04/opinion/trump-team-flynn-logan-act.html?partner=rss&emc=rss
Obviously, Obama firing Flynn, in retrospect, was fully justified.
Flynn is a lawless, corrupt asshole, is still very cherished by lawless, corrupt asshole Trash.

Michael Flynn’s Guilty Plea Sends Donald Trump’s Lawyers Scrambling
The President insists that the investigations into Russian meddling amount to nothing more than fake news. But the truth is now emerging.
“I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go,” Trump said. “He is a good guy.”
Trump is not generally known for his magnanimous impulses toward former associates,
so the question of why he wanted the F.B.I. to ease up on Flynn became a matter of intense debate.
We may now know the reason.
...
George Mason, one of the most eloquent of the Framers,
asked rhetorically during the Constitutional Convention,
“Shall the man who has practiced corruption & by that means procured his appointment in the first instance,
be suffered to escape punishment, by repeating his guilt?”
As Sunstein told me, “If you procure your office by corrupt means, that would be an impeachable offense.”

Are you serious? The tax bill is the most important thing possible to the GOP and he got 51/52 votes for it from his senate. He's going to destroy the ACA by getting rid of the mandate, Trump and the billionaires who run the party get a fat windfall, there will be automatic cuts to Medicare and Medicaid from the budget sequester being triggered to pay for that windfall, he's sticking it to blue states with inability to deduct state taxes, he's sticking it to graduate students by increasing their taxes hugely. The wall is just some stupid shit to get votes, it doesn't matter whether he builds it or not. There is no way to get the coal jobs back but it's a hammer he'll use effectively against Democrats because facts don't matter. This tax bill is fucking mission accomplished even if the GOP loses the house and Trump becomes the same lame duck president Obama was after the GOP took the house in 2011.

Is Mueller Aiming To Impeach Trump Rather Than Investigate Crime?
On Friday, I posited that special prosecutor Robert Mueller may have nothing of serious interest on the Trump administration other than certain officials lying to the FBI to cover up a non-crime: conversations between those officials and members of the Russian government after the election, relating to policy that would be implemented upon inauguration.
Over the weekend, the case for that grew stronger.
The biggest problem with the Mueller investigation has always been its scope. What, exactly, was Mueller investigating? Andrew McCarthy at National Review always suggested that the investigation wasn’t criminal — it was a counterintelligence investigation. What’s the difference? A criminal investigation would pursue proof of crime — and collusion with Russia isn’t a crime (conspiracy is, but it has not been close to proved), nor can the President of the United States be criminally charged with obstruction of justice for firing employees of the executive branch for any reason at all. So what’s all this about? Thus far, it appears to be a fishing expedition designed to elicit charges of lying to the FBI.
Here’s McCarthy:
Mueller’s investigation was not a criminal investigation. It started out as a fishing expedition, under the vaporous heading of “collusion,” into “contacts” between Russian officials and Trump associates — notwithstanding that collusion is not conspiracy and that it was perfectly legal for Trump associates to have contacts with Russia (just like Clinton associates did). It was to be expected that the Trump campaign and transition would have such contacts once it was apparent that Trump could well become — and did in fact become — the next president of the United States.
No collusion has been shown. Zero criminal activity has been charged beyond lying to the FBI (which is, of course, a crime) — and it seems so far that Team Trump’s lies to the FBI had less to do with lying over criminal behavior and more to do with lying out of ignorance of the law. That’s still lying, but it’s Scooter Libby-type lying, not Richard Nixon-type lying. At least Watergate involved underlying criminal activity. There’s no proof of any underlying criminal activity here whatsoever (and please, spare me the Logan Act commentary — that probably-unconstitutional piece of law has never earned a single conviction).
McCarthy rightly concludes:
The ongoing Mueller probe is not a good-faith investigation of suspected espionage or other crime. It is the exploitation of the executive’s intelligence-gathering and law-enforcement powers in order to (a) criminalize Trump political policies with which the Obama administration disagreed and (b) frame Clinton’s electoral defeat as the product of a traitorous scheme rather than a rejection of Democratic-party priorities.
This was always the danger of a special counsel, and it’s why Trump is so angry at Attorney General Jeff Sessions for recusing himself. It’s also why Trump should never have fired James Comey, or at least why Trump should have fired him himself rather than implicating Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in that effort, which earned him a special counsel.
Nonetheless, if push comes to shove, Trump will be hard-pressed not to treat anyone indicted for lying to the FBI over non-crime the same way George W. Bush treated Libby: by pardoning or commuting sentences. And Trump will be hard-pressed not to fire Mueller if Mueller continues racking up weak indictments based on lying to the FBI, rather than on any serious underlying criminal activity. Would doing so amount to “obstruction of justice”? For political impeachment purposes, perhaps. But not for legal purposes. Here’s what I wrote about that back in June:
There are three separate federal laws, as The New York Times points out, that could deal with this situation. None clearly does.
1. 18 USC 1503: This “omnibus” clause covers “corruptly or… by any threatening letter or communication influenc[ing], or imped[ing] or endeavor[ing[ to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice.” But the clause also requires a pending judicial proceeding – and as far as we are all aware, there is none. Furthermore, the Supreme Court is quite exacting on the application of this law – a prosecutor would need to prove that Trump’s conduct materially impeded the investigation, which even Comey has said didn’t happen.
2. 18 USC 1512(c): This provision of law covers anyone who “obstructs, influences, or impedes an official proceeding, or attempts to do so.” It is not clear that an FBI investigation is an “official proceeding,” and proving intent is difficult in any case. And it’s not enough to show intent to violate the subsection – you have to take a “substantial step toward the accomplishment of that goal.”
3. 18 USC 1519: This provision covers destroying evidence related to a federal investigation. There are no accusations that Trump destroyed evidence. Unless Trump had tapes and destroyed them, the statue simply doesn’t apply.
So, we may end up with an impeachment based on the president exercising his power under law, based on a special counsel exceeding his brief and charging people who lied to him for no good reason. It’s hard to imagine a proceeding more damaging to the country than that.

FBI agent dismissed from Mueller probe changed Comey's description of Clinton to 'extremely careless'
(CNN) A former top counterintelligence expert at the FBI, now at the center of a political uproar for exchanging private messages that appeared to mock President Donald Trump, changed a key phrase in former FBI Director James Comey's description of how former secretary of state Hillary Clinton handled classified information, according to US officials familiar with the matter.
Electronic records show Peter Strzok, who led the investigation of Hillary Clinton's private email server as the No. 2 official in the counterintelligence division, changed Comey's earlier draft language describing Clinton's actions as "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless," the source said.
The drafting process was a team effort, CNN is told, with a handful of people reviewing the language as edits were made, according to another US official familiar with the matter.
The shift from "grossly negligent" to "extremely careless," which may appear pedestrian at first glance, reflected a decision by the FBI that could have had potentially significant legal implications, as the federal law governing the mishandling of classified material establishes criminal penalties for "gross negligence."
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, raised questions over why the change was made after receiving documents from the FBI last month, but the identity of who was behind the edit has not been reported until now.
CNN has also learned that Strzok was the FBI official who signed the document officially opening an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, according to sources familiar with the matter. As the No. 2 official in counterintelligence, Strzok was considered to be one of the bureau's top experts on Russia.
But the news of Strzok's direct role in the statement that ultimately cleared the former Democratic presidential candidate of criminal wrongdoing, now combined with the fact that he was dismissed from special counsel Robert Mueller's team after exchanging private messages with an FBI lawyer that could be seen as favoring Clinton politically, may give ammunition to those seeking ways to discredit Mueller's Russia investigation.

Extraordinary means? That's how they passed their tax cut last time under Bush. That's how they were trying to repeal the ACA. Extraordinary means would be doing something that could have gotten 8 Democrat votes to get to 60. You have way too much faith in the GOP breaking from Trump, which doesn't make much any sense to me as we're seeing the party being purged and remade in Trump's image.
Yes.
Are you serious? The tax bill is the most important thing possible to the GOP and he got 51/52 votes for it from his senate. He's going to destroy the ACA by getting rid of the mandate, Trump and the billionaires who run the party get a fat windfall, there will be automatic cuts to Medicare and Medicaid from the budget sequester being triggered to pay for that windfall, he's sticking it to blue states with inability to deduct state taxes, he's sticking it to graduate students by increasing their taxes hugely. The wall is just some stupid shit to get votes, it doesn't matter whether he builds it or not. There is no way to get the coal jobs back but it's a hammer he'll use effectively against Democrats because facts don't matter. This tax bill is fucking mission accomplished even if the GOP loses the house and Trump becomes the same lame duck president Obama was after the GOP took the house in 2011.
And Yes.
I will get back.

"I don't think ever in my career have I felt more rage and disappointment and frustration that I felt through this weekend and through the last half of Friday.
I don't even know how many times we've talked about this, how many times we have talked about the need to get it right. That how we have to be right and not first. About how in this particular moment, with the stakes as high as these stakes are right now, we cannot afford to get it wrong. ...
The thing that compounded our mistake is that not only did we make a mistake, if we had then corrected ourselves right away, again — we wouldn't be in this position. It would have been a very different story. But we ended up in the impossible situation where we had actually conflicting information that we said on air, which conflicted with the information that was online. And then it took us seven hours, eight hours to get our story straight. This is not acceptable. It's not acceptable. And we will all pay the price for a long time."
