it doesn't count. Politicians implement the preferences of BigDonor, not voters

And, eg, the DNC/Clinton/Obama will make sure any people's choice as Warren, Sanders will NOT be the candidate, as will be any challenger to Dem incumbents.

How the Ukraine pressure campaign began as an effort to undercut the Mueller investigation

“I knew they were hot and heavy on this Russian collusion thing, even though I knew 100 percent that it was false,” Giuliani recently told conservative broadcaster Glenn Beck.

“I said to myself, ‘Hallelujah.’

I’ve got what a defense lawyer always wants:

I can go prove someone else committed this crime.”

Giuliani’s efforts to undermine the special counsel probe

eventually snowballed into the current impeachment crisis gripping the capital —

highlighting how the pressure Trump and his allies put on Ukraine

originated as an effort to sow doubts about the Russia investigation.

Justice Department Ignores Kushner Part Of Court Order To Release Mueller Interview Notes

Information won through a lawsuit by CNN and BuzzFeed is conspicuously missing the court-ordered records on Donald Trump’s son-in-law.

In apparent defiance of a court order, the

Justice Department (https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/us-department-of-justice) has held back all notes in the Robert Mueller (https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/robert-mueller)investigation concerning interviews with Donald Trump (https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/donald-trump)’s son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner (https://www.huffpost.com/news/topic/jared-kushner),

Justice officials were ordered to turn over notes to two news organizations from the former special counsel’s interviews with key witnesses during his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

The department on Friday released an additional 176 pages of documents after a batch more than two weeks ago.

Spin away, but a Republican appointed federal judge of Judge Walton's stature calling the country's top legal officer untrustworthy is rare -- has it ever happened?

I don’t care if he’s a Republican judge and I don’t care if a Republican judge who hasn’t read the unredacted report doesn’t trust the redactions.

Judge Walton claims Barr was specifically misleading because his summary said Mueller found no conspiracy or coordination between Trump campaign and Russia (Mueller’s words) but his summary did not say Mueller found contacts between Trump campaign and individuals with ties to the Russian government. Mueller was specifically tasked by Rosenstein to find conspiracy or coordination and Barr summarized his findings. Not including perfectly legal contacts in the summary with people from another country during a campaign is no where near misleading. Walton looks like a fool prejudging before even reading the redactions.

Except that's not what Walton said, nor claimed, and has nothing to do with the redactions. See the full order here: http://cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2020/images/03/05/uenrosj.pdf

Furthermore, as much 'coordination' as you like to claim, Mueller was actually displeased with Barr summary and made it quite clear and public at the time (https://www.washingtonpost.com/context/special-counsel-mueller-s-letter-to-attorney-general-barr/e32695eb-c379-4696-845a-1b45ad32fff1/?itid=lk_inline_manual_2).

What judge Walton points out is that there's large discrepancies in the initial summary vs the content of the actual redacted report released by the DOJ. Also the fact that it took only 2 days for the DOJ to reach alleged final conclusions about the the 381-page report, without even redacting or releasing the report, which the judge believes might've been used to impose a narrative prior to the redacted report release.

Also, the judge only wants to do an in-camera, independent review of the unredacted report himself to ensure the redactions match the public statements of the AG. There's no claim of bad faith (yet) from the judge directly on the AG.

[ElNono]

IV.CONCLUSION

For the foregoing reasons, the Court concludes that it must grant in part and deny without prejudice in part the plaintiffs’ motions.

Specifically, the Court must grant the plaintiffs’ motions to the extent they seek in camera review of the unredacted version of the Mueller Report and deny without prejudice the plaintiffs’ motions in all other respects.

The Court further concludes that it must deny without prejudice the Department’s motion for summary judgment and directs the Department to submit the unredacted version of the Mueller Report to the Court for in camera review.

If, after reviewing the unredacted version of the Mueller Report, the Court concludes that all of the information has been appropriately withheld under the claimed FOIA exemptions, it will issue a supplemental Memorandum Opinion and Order granting the Department’s motion for summary judgment on that ground and denying the plaintiffs’ cross-motions.

On the other hand, if the Court concludes after its in camera review that any of the redacted information was inappropriately withheld, it will issue a supplemental Memorandum Opinion and Order that comports with that finding.

the lawyers in here can do better than I - but here are some cliffs notes of the Analysis & Conclusion:

1) Judge calls out Barr for his spinning of the Mueller report and details how Barrs “summary” and Muellers findings
are contradictory

2) plaintiff is asking for unredacted mueller report - but Judge is uneasy about ruling on it - so he is ordering “in camera” review- so he can feel equipped to either grant the motion or reject it

3) DOJ is asking for a “summary judgement” and the judge is flatly denying it- meaning: DOJ is asking judge to dismiss the case so they can continue the cover up - judge says NO

4) Judge calls Barr out for his spinning and biased handling and orders the “in camera” unredacted review - because he doubts that Barrs redactions were PROPERLY done - due to barrs previous illicit actions

[c]ampaign and Russia, including with respect to Russia providing assistance to the [Trump]
[c]ampaign in exchange for any sort of favorable treatment in the future,”

You 'forgot' to quote what comes right after that...

Attorney General Barr also failed to disclose to the American public that, with respect to Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation into whether President Trump obstructed justice, Special Counsel Mueller “ determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment . . . recognizing that a federal criminal accusation against a sitting president would place burdens on the president’s capacity to govern and potentially preempt constitutional processes for addressing presidential misconduct,” but nevertheless declared that if he had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that President Trump clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, he would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, however, he is unable to reach that judgment. The evidence he obtained about President Trump’s actions and intent presents difficult issues that prevent him from conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred. Accordingly, while the Mueller Report does not conclude that President Trump committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him. Id., Ex. D (Mueller Report – Volume II) at 1–2.

The actual claim by the judge is that in the overall, there were clear and important omissions (lack of candor) in the original summary vis a vis the eventually released redacted copy, that warrant an in-camera review of an unredacted copy.


List the discrepancies the Judge points out.

You quoted half, I quoted the other half, right up there ^.


I already pointed out the Mueller's team was displeased with the summary and made that clear to the public. I asked winehole to provide something showing Mueller's team was displeased with the redactions from the full report, still waiting.

Why would you ask for something that was not claimed nor part of the ruling? It's immaterial to the judge whether Mueller was pleased or not with the redacted report, as the concerns raise from the omissions between the summary and redacted report.


This should have been directed at winehole.

He's reading too, I presume.

Trump judge hit with a brutal legal slap down

after trying to block Democrats from Mueller grand jury docs

a federal appeals court ruled that the

Department of Justice must hand over documents from Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation to Congress.

Judge Neomi Rao, a Trump appointee, was the lone dissenter. :lol

Judge Thomas Griffith, a conservative George W. Bush appointee, took time to address Rao’s reasoning for her dissent, writing at one point that Rao’s “distinction between authorization and compulsion strikes me as untenable on its own terms.”

“The dissent explains this distinction by arguing that the court’s ‘supervisory power is strictly limited to actions taken …

in aid of the grand jury’ and that compelling disclosure aids third parties rather than the grand jury. …

But merely authorizing disclosure also aids third parties rather than the grand jury,” writes Griffith.

“The dissent therefore cannot explain why

the district court has power to permit disclosure in the first place.

Taken to its logical conclusion,

the dissent’s theory would seem to require outright dismissal of this case—

a result that the dissent agrees is contrary to history and precedent.”



Griffith closed (https://twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/1237414020761739264) by

Trump judge hit with a brutal legal slap down

after trying to block Democrats from Mueller grand jury docs

a federal appeals court ruled that the

Department of Justice must hand over documents from Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation to Congress.

Judge Neomi Rao, a Trump appointee, was the lone dissenter. :lol

Judge Thomas Griffith, a conservative George W. Bush appointee, took time to address Rao’s reasoning for her dissent, writing at one point that Rao’s “distinction between authorization and compulsion strikes me as untenable on its own terms.”

“The dissent explains this distinction by arguing that the court’s ‘supervisory power is strictly limited to actions taken …

in aid of the grand jury’ and that compelling disclosure aids third parties rather than the grand jury. …

But merely authorizing disclosure also aids third parties rather than the grand jury,” writes Griffith.

“The dissent therefore cannot explain why

the district court has power to permit disclosure in the first place.

Taken to its logical conclusion,

the dissent’s theory would seem to require outright dismissal of this case—

a result that the dissent agrees is contrary to history and precedent.”



Griffith closed (https://twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/1237414020761739264) by

It's human. It's American male.
Just hope it works out. They was hoping that Jones would turn coat & come across the aisle, but, instead he went full Democrat! That, more than anything else has hurt us in Alabama. The DNC has made promises to Jones, big promises & will fulfill them.

The importance of the Mueller investigation purposely avoided by the worshipers of the orange God and by blue team members That thought it was wrong:

mueller has weighed in with an op Ed and people need to look at the underlined parts to understand what the investigation did and did not do

this is in honor of all the bumpage that has gone on

We now have a detailed picture of Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election,” Mueller wrote. “We also identified numerous links between the Russian government and Trump campaign personnel — Stone among them. We did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired with the Russian government in its activities. The investigation did, however, establish that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome. It also established that the campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.”

Witchhunt my ass

this is still being denied and purposely overlooked by the red team.
they want to forget the last two underlined statements. The blue team does not like the first underlined statement. Schiff in particular.

I believe all of the above underlined.
if you don’t , I believe you can be put in the partisan hack category.

Invite him to talk about more than Stone before the election as the red team apparently thinks it’s ok to fck with our elections and team Trump may welcome it.

I agree with all of the above - and IF you are NOT a partisan hack yourself you should also agree -
(regarding the FIRST - underlined part that you accuse Schiff and Dems of not liking)


that ONE of the reasons Mueller team did NOT establish a conspiracy was because of traitors like Stone and Manafort and Flynn who did not cooperate and obstructed the investigation - same as Trump -

the fact that Muellers hands were also tied - in not being able to compel Trump and trump jr and others to testify under a grand jury further drive that point home

he did NOT establish a conspiracy

ONLY because of the criminality that trump team traitors continued while covering up an investigation.


Finally -


the Mueller report AND the Grand Jury materials are still under a cover up.


Don't try and paint yourself as some neutral arbiter - and accuse any side of hackery - unless you state complete facts - otherwise you fall into the same thing you are accusing others of.

Your are a partisan hack.

You have zero evidence that meetings took place between Trump and Russia on planning on how they would win the election together. The fact that witnesses did NOT get to testify does not AUTOMATICALLY lead to the conclusion given in bold.

you are really dense;

I agreed with all your underlined statements-

and

ONLY ADDED- that

1) there are reasons why mueller didnt/couldnt prove the conspiracy (hundreds of russia/trump contacts in the mueller report)
and
2) mueller report is still under a cover up -as is the grand jury materials - not to mention- other fbi cases being hidden by barr


nothing partisan about any of that-


you lay your trust in that “you have no proof blah-blah”

which is your opinion-


all im saying is that your opinion is not taking into account the fact that the evidence is still being covered up by trump and barr and the supreme court is dragging its feet until after the election...


why you want to protect russia snd trump and minimize their unpatriotic illegal activity is beyond me...

“Over the last three years, the Senate Intelligence Committee conducted a bipartisan and thorough investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election and undermine our democracy.

3. "The investigation did not establish that [Carter] Page coordinated with the Russian government in its efforts to interfere with the 2016 election."

4. "The Office did not identify evidence in those [contacts between Russians and people around Trump after the GOP convention] of coordination between the Campaign and the Russian government."

5. "The Office did not identify evidence of a connection between Manafort's sharing polling data and Russia's interference in the election ... [and] the investigation did not establish that Manafort otherwise coordinated with the Russian government on its election-interference efforts."

6. "The investigation did not establish that these [contacts between Russians and people around Trump during the transition] reflected or constituted coordination between the Trump Campaign and Russia in its election interference activities."

Number one the Russians did interfere in our elections in an unprecedented manner

Number two the Trump campaign knew about the interference and did nothing

Number three the Trump campaign welcomed the interference because they thought it would help them in the election

Number four the Trump campaign did indeed have communication with the Russians via Manafort and very likely others, but this was an issue to be taken up by Congress.

and lastly, the only reason this president was not voted out of Office was political
The impeachment hearings could not be conclusive because witnesses were told not to testify so it became easy for the red team to dismiss it by a narrow margin totally along party lines.

sorry but this whole Russia thing is a horrible look for a President of the United States. Get him the fck out of office.

I get the feeling that Barr has probably done something obstruction of justice-y.

[RandomGuy]

Explain how Trump isn't guilty of multiple felonies. All three elements of felony obstruction are right there, multiple times.

FIRST FELONY
E. Efforts to fire Mueller
Obstructive act (p. 87): Former White House Counsel Don McGahn is a “credible witness” in providing evidence that Trump indeed attempted to fire Mueller. This “would qualify as an obstructive act” if the firing “would naturally obstruct the investigation and any grand jury proceedings that might flow from the inquiry.”
Nexus (p. 89): “Substantial evidence” indicates that, at this point, Trump was aware that “his conduct was under investigation by a federal prosecutor who could present any evidence of federal crimes to a grand jury.”
Intent (p. 89): “Substantial evidence indicates that the President’s attempts to remove the Special Counsel were linked to the Special Counsel’s oversight of investigations that involved the President’s conduct[.]”

SECOND FELONY
F. Efforts to curtail Mueller
Obstructive act (p. 97): Trump’s effort to force Sessions to confine the investigation to only investigating future election interference “would qualify as an obstructive act if it would naturally obstruct the investigation and any grand jury proceedings that might flow from the inquiry.” “Taken together, the President’s directives indicate that Sessions was being instructed to tell the Special Counsel to end the existing investigation into the President and his campaign[.]”
Nexus (p. 97): At the relevant point, “the existence of a grand jury investigation supervised by the Special Counsel was public knowledge.”
Intent (p. 97): “Substantial evidence” indicates that Trump’s efforts were “intended to prevent further investigative scrutiny of the President’s and his campaign’s conduct.”
THIRD FELONY
I. Order to McGahn to deny Trump’s order to fire Mueller
Obstructive act (p. 118): This effort “would qualify as an obstructive act if it had the natural tendency to constrain McGahn from testifying truthfully or to undermine his credibility as a potential witness[.]” There is “some evidence” that Trump genuinely believed press reports that he had ordered McGahn to fire Mueller were wrong. However, “[o]ther evidence cuts against that understanding of the president’s conduct”—and the special counsel lists a great deal more evidence on this latter point.
Nexus (p. 119): At this point “the Special Counsel’s use of a grand jury had been further confirmed by the return of several indictments.” Mueller’s office had indicated to Trump’s lawyers that it was investigating obstruction, and Trump knew that McGahn had already been interviewed by Mueller on the topic. “That evidence indicates the President’s awareness” that his efforts to fire Mueller were relevant to official proceedings. Trump “likely contemplated the ongoing investigation and any proceedings arising from it” in directing McGahn to create a false record of the earlier interaction.
Intent (p. 120): “Substantial evidence indicates that … the President acted for the purpose of influencing McGahn’s account in order to deflect or prevent further scrutiny” of Trump.

FOURTH FELONY
J. Conduct toward... Manafort
Obstructive act (p. 131): “The President’s actions toward witnesses … would qualify as obstructive if they had the natural tendency to prevent particular witnesses from testifying truthfully, or otherwise would have the probable effect of influencing, delaying, or preventing their testimony to law enforcement.” ...Regarding Manafort, “there is evidence that the President’s actions had the potential” to influence Manafort’s thinking on cooperation, and his public statements “had the potential to influence the trial jury.”
Nexus (p. 132): Trump’s actions toward [Manafort and others] “appear to have been connected to pending or anticipated official proceedings involving each individual.”

Are multiple counts of obstruction of justice impeachable?

That is all narrative nonsense not policy. He has made a policy declaration of not interfering with DoJ investigations. If the AG -whoever that ends up being- begins an investigation I don't think he would shut it down. I don't think he is going to shut down the ongoing investigations into his son either.

‘The perfect target’:

Russia cultivated Trump as asset for 40 years – ex-KGB spy

proved so willing to parrot anti-western propaganda that there were celebrations in Moscow,

compares the former US president to “the Cambridge five”, (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/apr/18/cambridge-spy-ring-what-biographers-say) the British spy ring that passed secrets to Moscow during the second world war and early cold war.

also explores the former president’s relationship with thedisgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. (https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/01/jeffrey-epstein-and-donald-trump-epic-bromance)

they were just students and then they rose to important positions; something like that was happening with Trump,”

Trump first appeared on the Russians’ radar in 1977 when he married his first wife, Ivana Zelnickova, (https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-ivana-donald-ivanka-trump-russia-communism-czech-republic-721669) a Czech model.

Trump became the target of a spying operation overseen by Czechoslovakia’s intelligence service in cooperation with the KGB.

Trump bought 200 television sets for the hotel from Semyon Kislin, a Soviet émigré who co-owned Joy-Lud electronics on Fifth Avenue.

According to Shvets, Joy-Lud was controlled by the KGB and

Kislin worked as a so-called “spotter agent” who identified Trump, a young businessman on the rise, as a potential asset.

The feeling was that he was extremely vulnerable intellectually, and psychologically, and he was prone to flattery."

Shortly after Trump's trip to the USSR, he took out a major advertisement in the New York Times, Washington Post, and Boston Globe, in which

he questioned why America should be paying for the security of NATO countries.

"The bizarre intervention was cause for astonishment and jubilation in Russia,"

Russia did not have some grand long-term conspiracy to make Trump president, but rather lucked into Trump's presidency through a series of unlikely events.

around 1980, the Russians were trying to recruit like crazy and going after dozens and dozens of people."

Stunning new allegations further connect Trump to Russian mobsters and oligarchs

Trump was certainly no stranger to a sprawling netherworld of Russian gangsters and oligarchs.

this Russian criminal network with worldwide reach hired Felix Sater, one of Trump's closest associates, to hide a fortune stolen in Kazakhstan.

Some of the $440 million was intended to finance a Trump tower in Moscow,

Mueller Stymied

Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III told Congress last year that his team was limited to investigating only criminal acts involved in the 2016 presidential campaign. He was instructed not to touch on counterintelligence.

That was a huge favor to Trump and to a vast network of Russian gangsters and fronts connected to Trump, to his campaign and another of his lawyers, Rudy Giuliani.

The Almaty plaintiffs describe a farflung scheme to hide much of the stolen money in America using Sater, a violent felon and stock swindler, and Robert S. Wolf, a Moses & Singer partner.

Trump-Sater Connections

For years Sater traveled widely with Trump on his personal jet, spoke on his behalf to journalists and was filmed with Trump at public events.

Sater "was aware" the money he funneled through Moses & Singer's client trust account was stolen, court papers say. That's when Sater negotiated his fee for helping to hide the looted money,

Before assuming office Trump was entitled to 18% of the profits from the project which he worked on with Sater.

Trump signed a letter that authorized a reorganization during which millions of dollars disappeared into an Icelandic bank under the thumb of an oligarch.

Brooklyn's Russian Mobsters

The Brooklyn federal courthouse appears to be central to how Russian gangsters in Brooklyn and Long Island get away with crimes in return for funneling information to our government.

That courthouse is home to an estimated 60 to 75 double sealed criminal cases. It is common to seal criminal case files at times, but a double seal means there is not even a public docket indicating a case exists.

these cases all involve Russian-speaking mobsters who, like Bulger, have persuaded the Justice Department that they are more useful as informants and should be allowed to maintain their corrupt businesses.

A 20% actual cut in the IRS budget in the last decade makes the service struggle just to process tax returns.

The $440 million Almaty theft is connected to a larger scheme in which an estimated $10 billion was looted from the government of Kazakhstan.

In December a British court froze (https://www.rferl.org/a/british-court-freezes-billions-tied-to-alleged-kazakh-bank-theft/30980004.html) about $5 billion of the money.

Questions about whether any of that money was laundered via Trump real estate deals are being pursued in other litigation.

Trump's personal lawyer, Giuliani, has had extensive dealings (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/impeachment-inquiry-puts-new-focus-on-giulianis-work-for-prominent-figures-in-ukraine/2019/10/01/b3c6d08c-e089-11e9-be96-6adb81821e90_story.html) going back at least 14 years with the shadowy and corrupt world of Kazakh petroleum interests.

Stunning new allegations further connect Trump to Russian mobsters and oligarchs

Trump was certainly no stranger to a sprawling netherworld of Russian gangsters and oligarchs.

this Russian criminal network with worldwide reach hired Felix Sater, one of Trump's closest associates, to hide a fortune stolen in Kazakhstan.

Some of the $440 million was intended to finance a Trump tower in Moscow,

Mueller Stymied

Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III told Congress last year that his team was limited to investigating only criminal acts involved in the 2016 presidential campaign. He was instructed not to touch on counterintelligence.

That was a huge favor to Trump and to a vast network of Russian gangsters and fronts connected to Trump, to his campaign and another of his lawyers, Rudy Giuliani.

The Almaty plaintiffs describe a farflung scheme to hide much of the stolen money in America using Sater, a violent felon and stock swindler, and Robert S. Wolf, a Moses & Singer partner.

Shocker.

The risk factors have always been there, and this was, for me, the most likely avenue that Russian mafiosos could exercise control over him, by bank rolling him.

As he laundered money for them, he became more and more on the hook for blackmail.

My guess is that these ties eventually culminated in his complete sniveling subservience to Putin. They literally have the goods on him.

His tax returns will open that closet door, and a rather large pile of bones is going to tumble out.

If former Attorney General Bill Barr lied in court, then it stands to reason that his testimony to Congress was also a lie,

Barr was outed by federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson for lying to her, to the court, and to the American people about the process for investigating and considering whether or not President Donald Trump would be prosecuted for obstruction of justice.

When testifying before the U.S. Senate, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) asked Barr,

"If the special counsel (Robert Mueller) found facts sufficient to constitute obstruction of justice, would he have stated that finding?"

Barr answered, "If he had found that, I think he would state it, yes."

Trump polling data was also combined with Trump mega-donor's data-mining group Cambridge Analytica

Among the information released by federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson on Monday were documents unredacted showing that

not only did Paul Manafort hand polling data over to a known Russian intelligence agent, so did Cambridge Analytica.

the British political consulting group partly owned by right-wing donors Robert and Rebekah Mercer was also coordinating with the Russians on President Donald Trump's 2016 election.

"One thing that's new — and newsworthy — is a passage of Rick Gates' February 7, 2018 proffer in which he describes how he came

Bannon was part of the effort to harvest data from Facebook to better identify and target unlikely voters they could turn into Trump supporters.

Wheeler also teased that she will have more information about Cambridge Analytica soon as part of her own ongoing investigation.

Interesting, the media made a massive deal about this Kilimnik character. Suddenly, no one wants to talk about him anymore.

https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1395709981773770756?s=21

[Ball Buster]

Highlights from the interview and RCI's related reporting:

Kilimnik denies passing 2016 polling data to Russian intelligence, or any Russian for that matter. Instead, Kilimnik says he shared publicly available, general information about the 2016 American presidential race to Ukrainian clients of Manafort's in a bid to recover old debts and drum up new business. Gates told RCI that the Mueller team "cherry-picked" his testimony about Kilimnik to spread a misleading, collusion-favorable narrative. The U.S. government has never publicly produced the polling data at issue, nor any evidence that it was shared with Russia.

Despite his centrality to the Trump-Russia saga, Kilimnik says no U.S. government official has ever tried get in touch with him. "I never had a single contact with [the] FBI or any government official," Kilimnik says.

Kilimnik shared documents that contradict the Special Counsel's effort to prove that he has Russian intelligence "ties." Photos and video of his Russian passport and a U.S. visa in his name, shared with RCI, undermine the Mueller report’s claim that Kilimnik visited the United States on a Russian "diplomatic passport" in 1997. To judge from the images, he travelled on a civilian passport and obtained a regular U.S. visa. The Mueller team has never produced the “diplomatic passport.”

Kilimnik denies traveling to Spain to meet Manafort in 2017. If true, this would undercut the Mueller team’s claim that Manafort lied in denying such a meeting. That denial was used to help secure a 2019 court ruling that Manafort breached a cooperation agreement. The Special Counsel never furnished evidence for the alleged Madrid encounter.

While the Treasury Department and Senate Intelligence Committee claim that Kilimnik is a Russian intelligence officer, no U.S. security or intelligence agency has adopted this characterization.

Kilimnik has never been charged with anything related to espionage, Russia, collusion, or the 2016 election. Instead, the Mueller team indicted Kilimnik on witness-tampering charges in a case pertaining to Manafort's lobbying work in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the FBI's $250,000 bounty for Kilimnik is larger than most rewards it offers for the capture of violent fugitives, including those accused of child murder (https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/alexis-flores).

Top 5 reasons Don McGahn's testimony on Trump obstruction of justice is important

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner on Friday offered his analysis of the obstruction of justice investigation into former President Donald Trump.

the top five reasons why Don McGahn's testimony before Congress today was actually pretty important,"

"Number five is the substance of what Don McGahn had to say.

Well, he said Donald Trump directed him to fire Bob Mueller — to fire the man who was investigating Donald Trump for possible criminal activity."

"Number four, it's not hearsay," he said. "That's not just something recorded in the Mueller report, that is a first-hand, sworn account, under oath. That is a transcript of Don McGahn that can be used in a court of law in any number of ways, so that is important."

"Number three, the information was related by Don McGahn, former White House counsel who — regardless of what you think of his politics — is generally regarded as a truth teller. So it's coming from a credible source," he said.

"Reason number two, why Don McGahn's congressional testimony today was important: because Bill Barr can't spin it," he said.

"He can't lie about it, he can't cover it up, the way he spun, lied about, and covered up what was in the Mueller report."

"And the number one reason why today's congressional testimony by Don McGahn about Donald Trump's obstruction of justice is important, is because
Congress will be able to use it to make a criminal referral of Donald Trump to the Department of Justice,"

A former Trump official explains why Russia found America ripe for meddling

article from Fiona Hill (https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/united-states/2021-09-27/kremlins-strange-victory) in Foreign Affairs.

disturbing, though, is Hill's appraisal of why Russia found America ripe for meddling:


Putin realized that despite the

lofty rhetoric that flowed from Washington about democratic values and liberal norms, :lol

beneath the surface, the United States was beginning to resemble his own country:

a place where self-dealing elites had hollowed out vital institutions and

where alienated, frustrated people were increasingly open to populist and authoritarian appeals.

The fire was already burning; all Putin had to do was pour on some gasoline. [...]

The polarization of American society has become a national security threat,

acting as a barrier to the collective action necessary for combating catastrophes and thwarting external dangers.

Hill's essay identifies deeper flaws in our polity that made Trump possible and offers possible solutions. "Democracy is not self-repairing," she warns. "It requires constant attention."

How the U.S. Government Was Sold to a Hedge Fund


Evil genius billionaire, Robert Mercer, and his cohorts at the Renaissance Technologies hedge fund reached a $7 billion settlement (https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/renaissance-executives-pay-about-7-bln-settle-tax-probe-wsj-2021-09-02/) with the U.S. Government in September after their failed takeover of the presidential election process.

After Trump got elected, Mercer got everything he wanted. The IRS case against Renaissance was paused until Joe Biden was inaugurated.

No one who gave significant funds to Trump faced prosecution from his “Justice” Department or from Charles Rettig, his hand-picked IRS commissioner. Rettig owned over $1.1 million in Trump apartments (https://theweek.com/speedreads/833454/trumps-handpicked-irs-chief-irs-legal-counsel-both-have-ties-trump-businesses) in Hawaii.

Criminal institutions and individuals poured money down on Trump, in effect paying to halt federal enforcement of actions against them.

Cambridge Analytica is a 2013 offshoot of SCL Group, a nation-state-as-a-service company providing everything aspiring dictators need to take control of a population.

Founded in 1993, SCL Group has assisted Moamar Qaddafi in Libya,

the UAE in its efforts against U.S. ally Qatar, and

to suppress student unrest in Indonesia.

A recent client, Saudi prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), relied on SCL to conduct focus groups and create Vision 2030 (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/31/business/cambridge-analytica-scl-group-saudi-arabia.html),

described as “a manual for the royals to manage popular sentiment by figuring out where they should loosen their grip.”

Cambridge Analytica specialized in gathering data for psychographic profiling

app granted access to all the Facebook profiles of all the “friends” of those who took the quiz, resulting in Cambridge Analytica scraping and downloading an estimated 87 million Facebook profiles.

Mercer was a long time friend of Nigel Farage and offered Cambridge Analytica’s services for the Brexit referendum.

The “Leave Campaign’s” Facebook ad buys were directed by yet another Mercer entity, AggregateIQ, supposedly based on analysis of the stolen profiles,

Mercer did not hesitate to ply the Orange Beast with money and staff. Kellyane Conway, Steve Bannon, John Bolton, Betsy DeVos and Mike Pence came through the Mercer pipeline.

The Trump campaign was compelled to use Cambridge Analytica for data analysis.

Robert Mercer had no qualms about teaming up with Vladimir Putin (https://medium.com/@q502/robert-mercer-money-launderer-for-vladimir-putin-8c596cd3d930) or Mohammed bin Salman (https://www.wral.com/secretive-contractor-helped-saudi-arabia-steer-reform-plans/17593245/?comment_order=forward) to destabilize the E.U. and forestall any global government network that would interfere with his arbitrage operation.

Putin and Mercer teamed up during the 2016 U.S. presidential elections to create and distribute disinformation designed to destabilise the United States.

In July, 2016, Cambridge Analytica reached out to WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, to offer assistance distributing Hillary Clinton’s stolen emails.

After the election, Cambridge Analytica made a cryptocurrency “payment” to WikiLeaks (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/jun/06/cambridge-analytica-brittany-kaiser-julian-assange-wikileaks), according to the person who delivered it, senior employee Brittany Kaiser.

A longtime associate of former President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign chief Paul Manafort gave Russian intelligence agencies “sensitive information on polling and campaign strategy” during the election that year, the U.S. Treasury Department said.
Manafort’s associate, Konstantin Kilimnik, “also sought to promote the narrative that Ukraine, not Russia, had interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election,” the department said Thursday as the Biden administration announced new sanctions on Russia, Kilimnik and others.
Those sanctions relate in part to Russia’s alleged effort to affect the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election.

Michigan Lawyer Who Sought To Overturn Biden's Victory Tied To Russian Spy

G. Kline Preston IV,

worked with a conservative legal group in Michigan as part of an effort to overturn the election results in the state, where Joe Biden defeated former President Donald Trump by a slim margin (https://www.politico.com/2020-election/results/michigan/) in 2020.

One of the Russian nationals Preston is connected to is Maria Butina, an unregistered foreign agent who infiltrated (https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/02/nra-russia-maria-butina-putin-crimea/) the National Rifle Association as part of a Russian effort (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/13/us/politics/butina-guilty.html) to influence conservatives.

In 2018, The Daily Beast uncovered (https://www.thedailybeast.com/pro-confederate-birther-introduced-maria-butinas-handler-to-nra-chief) that it was Preston who first introduced Butina's handler, Alexander Torshin, a former Russian parliamentarian who was sanctioned (https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm0338) by the Treasury Department, to David Keen, the former president of the NRA.

According to their reporting, Preston is a "friend and confidant" of Torshin. In (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/how-the-republican-right-found-allies-in-russia/2017/04/30/e2d83ff6-29d3-11e7-a616-d7c8a68c1a66_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.7e97a3fd0e3b) 2011 (https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/inside-the-decade-long-russian-campaign-to-infiltrate-the-nra-and-help-elect-trump-630054/) — the same year he introduced Torshin to Keene — Preston traveled to Russia to serve as a foreign elections observer.

Preston also told (https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2018/03/20/russia-nashville-lawyer-marsha-blackburn/431448002/) The Tennessean in 2018 that Torshin "was interested in the NRA so I hooked him up."

the Office of Legal Counsel that penned a "policy" that a sitting president can't be indicted while in office.

But according to Barr, that OLC opinion didn't matter,

because special counsel Robert Mueller concluded that Donald Trump was innocent.

The three-judge panel of the Federal Appeals Court ruled that was false.

Mueller did detail in the second part of his report, however, is that

there were at least ten instances of obstruction of justice by Donald Trump.

He then gave that list to Congress and testified to Congress about it.

Anyone who has actually read it, and isn't a total hack for the GOP has reached that conclusion.

Your problem in trying to argue this though, is that the basis of modern conservatism is dishonesty, violence, and greed, in whatever order of priority allows them to hold/keep power. Dishonesty is sometimes used as a tool to further greed, and sometimes its vice versa. Often they seem to engage in pure dishonesty simply for the fun of it, although often to jack off to the thought they made libtards upset.

I’m not interested in rehashing it with a middle aged drunk who can’t grasp basic concepts. But let’s not pretend like the report was total exoneration. That was the Bill Barr whitewash you (and TSA) bought hook, line and sinker…like a good democrat hating republican is expected to do.


lets not give the propaganda more fuel

the conspiracy and collusion was there-
they just decided it wasnt there BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT


which means they CONSPIRED AND COLLUDED like the traitors they are

but muellers team did not want to say the offenses were BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT


every time someone spreads the propaganda “mueller did NOT find any conspiracy/collusion”
they just help the traitors to continue to downplay and defend the unpatriotic traitors to the usa

Anyone who has actually read it, and isn't a total hack for the GOP has reached that conclusion.

Your problem in trying to argue this though, is that the basis of modern conservatism is dishonesty, violence, and greed, in whatever order of priority allows them to hold/keep power. Dishonesty is sometimes used as a tool to further greed, and sometimes its vice versa. Often they seem to engage in pure dishonesty simply for the fun of it, although often to jack off to the thought they made libtards upset.

Good luck with Darrin. he still thinks climate change is made up, and has demonstrated he does not care what is real or not, just what makes him feel better about himself in some way.

Oh I’m done with Darrin. His response that Sessions refused himself immediately made it obvious he knew nothing of what was in the report.

But that’s Darrin. I should have simply ignored his request.

That’s not total exoneration and inclusive of everything in the report. Why do you feel it necessary to narrow the conversation to just the Washington Examiner talking points?

The collusion with Russia was the only thing that mattered and Trump was totally exonerated concerning that.


"The Special Counsel's obstruction theory would not only be novel, but, based on his own analysis, it would also be unusual because Volume I of the Special Counsel's Report is conclusive: that the evidence developed “was not sufficient to charge that any member of the Trump Campaign [including the President] conspired or coordinated with representatives of the Russian government to interfere in the 2016 election.” Given that conclusion, the evidence does not establish a crime or criminal conspiracy involving the President toward which any obstruction or attempted obstruction by the President was directed. It would be rare for federal prosecutors to bring an obstruction prosecution that did not itself arise out of a proceeding related to a separate crime."

Shit for brains, had the russians hacked her server, they would have posted the information to further embarrass her, else, why go through the trouble. Idiot!

Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.

For example, seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also found information that was properly classified as Secret by the U.S. Intelligence Community at the time it was discussed on e-mail (that is, excluding the later “up-classified” e-mails).

Had the FBI been on top of this earlier they could have prevented this gross mismanagement of classified material.

So you have no evidence that her server was hacked.

Your capitulation is accepted. :tu

The FBI director said the lack of direct evidence that Clinton’s server was successfully hacked by “any foreign power or other hostile actors” doesn’t mean it wasn’t. “[G]iven the nature of the system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess that we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence,” Comey said. “We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial email accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account. We also assess that Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal email domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent. She also used her personal email extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related emails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal email account.”

How Russian Agents Have Perverted Our Politics:

A View From 1000 Feet

Well, as we should all know by now, the days of intelligence agents passing secrets in the night are long gone.

Now the spies are right out in the open.

And that’s the other thing we haven’t done.

We haven’t stood back and looked at recent political events from an overall perspective.

We’ve gotten lost in the rapidly and endlessly unfolding scandals of you-know-who,

buried in the details of this secret meeting or that illegal campaign contribution or that questionable character being invited into the Oval Office, no less,

for meetings that have gone all the way from trying to get the FBI Director to look the other way and

go easy on one of what would become several White House felons,

to out-and-out plots to use the military to seize election machinery and re-run an election, which was not in effect a coup, but a coup in progress.

Almost all the unusual events in our recent political life have involved Russians,

and as we will see, they go back much further than we usually recall.

Trump would waltz Kislyak and his boss the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, past all the White House handlers and the Russian media –

but not the American press pool covering the White House, who were banned from the event –

right into the Oval Office where,

it would later be reported, he passed some kind of top secret information to them about Israel and assured the two that he wasn’t bothered at all about Russian involvement in his election campaign

because the United States does the same thing to other counties around the world.

Contacts between Russian spies and their targets in the U.S. would happen

at places like an NRA convention, as when Maria Butina – remember her? – and

her SVR handler, Aleksandr Torshin, a Russian senator who would soon become the Speaker of the Senate of the Russian Federation,

a position you don’t get without the personal approval of Vladimir Putin,

were given all-access passes to the NRA convention in St. Louis in 2012 and

the next one in Houston in 2013,

not to mention being welcomed at NRA headquarters in Virginia both years.

Torshin and Butina arranged for officials of the NRA to travel to Russia in 2015 for the convention of a completely fictional organization established by Butina called “Right to Bear Arms.”

There is no right to bear arms in Russia

Mueller...

able to lay out in excruciating detail how, under the direction of Vladimir Putin himself, SVR agents and hackers working for the Russian government

infiltrated the American political system, exerted influence over the Trump campaign in 2016,

helped to distribute hacked Democratic Party emails to damage the campaign of Hillary Clinton

Trump himself hired a man with ties to Russian intelligence, Paul Manafort, to chair his campaign.

Lev Parnas? How about Igor Fruman? What the hell were those two doing dining with Rudy Giuliani and President Donald Trump at his hotel in Washington in 2018, discussing how to get rid of the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch? They were both involved with Deripaska, to whom Manafort owed something like $12 million.

all of them were so neck deep in Trump’s Ukraine scandal that if Parnas’ connections were made public,

they would lead directly to Russian intelligence assets like Deripaska and Kilimnik and oligarch Viktor Vekselberg and others, right up to and including the Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov.

intended to destabilize the country of Ukraine, which under the leadership of Zelensky,

Putin had been up to his games with the U.S. since Trump,

who had announced he would run for president someday, took his Miss Universe pageant to Russia in 2013.

Putin had backed right-wing candidates for office in countries like France and Germany and Poland and Hungary.

his biggest, most heavily-funded and closest-watched meddling was against Russia’s eternal big power rival, the United States.

The whole “Ukraine scandal” that got Trump impeached was actually a power play by Putin to destabilize that country.
