New Pro-Trump Line: ‘Collusion Is Not A Crime’
One of the quickest turnarounds came from Jay Sekulow, a Religious Right activist and chief counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) who is also an attorney for Trump. In an interview with Wolf Blitzer,
Sekulow insisted that Papadopoulos did nothing wrong in his meetings with foreign officials and that
the only problem was that he had lied about them to the FBI.
This summer, Sekulow had said in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that there was “no evidence of Russian collusion” with the Trump campaign…
a line that Trump himself was repeating as recently as this morning.
Earlier in the afternoon, Sekulow hosted his daily “Jay Sekulow Live” radio program, where both of his cohosts—his son Jordan Sekulow and ACLJ attorney Andrew Ekonomou—insisted that
“collusion is not a crime” and is simply something that voters can pick and choose whether they want in a presidential campaign.

So "Hillary's Russian collusion" is not a crime?
Pat Robertson demands Trump fire Mueller and pardon everyone: ‘This whole thing has to be shut down!’
A deeply concerned Pat Robertson implored President Donald Trump to
make the whole Russian investigation go away by firing special counsel Robert Mueller and
giving a blanket pardon to everyone who is being scrutinized by the FBI and congressional investigation

Collusion good now.
Paul Manafort and the privilege of being a white collar defendant
No handcuffs, no money upfront.
Both Manafort and Rick Gates, a former Manafort business associate and Trump campaign aide who was also indicted on Monday, didn’t have to see images of themselves in handcuffs plastered all over the media; rather, the two were able to portray themselves as calm, cool and collected.
This is a privilege awarded to white collar criminals who allegedly commit serious crimes, yet are spared from the embarrassment other criminals face.

Wild how you can conspire against the United States & walk into FBI offices handcuff-free while Eric Garner was choked to death for loosies.
Manafort did not have to pay cash upfront for his release, which is contingent upon home detention and daily reporting.
This is a deal low-income individuals in jail for far lesser crimes would love to have. As HuffPost justice reporter Ryan J. Reilly notes:
“Who stays in jail and who gets out before trial is often not determined by public safety considerations or by a person’s history and cir stances, but by whether individuals or their family members can come up with a pre-determined amount of money to secure their release.”
Meanwhile, a half a million people sit behind bars because they are unable to afford bail, according to the Justice Policy Ins ute.
Those who can’t afford bail end up paying instead with time behind bars.
Of the nearly 750,000 inmates confined in jails around the U.S. at any time, between 60 and 70 percent haven’t been convicted,
according to federal data.

GOP Lawmakers Quickly Throw Support Behind Robert Mueller As Russia Scandal Sinks Trump
Republicans are leaping to defend Mueller as concerns grow that Trump may try to fire him.
In a statement released Monday, high-ranking GOP Sen. Orrin Hatch, who is third in line for the presidency, said Mueller “needs time and support” to continue his investigation.
Two other GOP lawmakers, Reps. Randy Hultgren and Adam Kinzinger, also threw their support behind the special counsel investigation, saying it’s critical that Mueller is allowed to do his job so the American people can get the answers they deserve.
U.S. Sen. Durbin, the number two Democrat in the Senate, said given the president’s repeated criticism of a special prosecutor’s investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia, there is legitimate concern Trump might try to fire special counsel Robert Mueller, or pardon those charged.http://www.politicususa.com/2017/10/30/gop-lawmakers-quickly-throw-support-robert-mueller-russia-scandal-sinks-trump.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&u tm_campaign=Feed%3A+politicususa%2FfJAl+%28Politic us+USA+%29
“If I would have said a year ago what you just said about the possibility of a special prosecutor being fired, and that a presidential pardon would be issued following it, you’d have said that movie will never sell, it’s too outlandish, it’s just not even possible,” he said.
“But it sadly is within the realm of possibility.”
But seriously how is Pat Robertson still alive?
Haven't really kept up with this circle jerk thread but what ya'll think of Mueller reportedly targeting the Podesta Group?
And Tony Podesta resigning today because of it.
They worked for Manafort, so it's not much of a surprise.
Russian Influence Reached 126 Million Through Facebook Alone
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/30/technology/facebook-google-russia.html?partner=rss&emc=rss
... while the Repugs do everything they can to cir scribe Congressional investigations into Pootin messing with Americans' heads. Pootin, his mafiya, and his cyber army are laughing their asses off at how soft a target USA is, and how Pootin has compromised the entire Repug party.
The social network says some 80,000 posts published between 2015 and 2017 were by a Russian company with links to the Kremlin.
The revelation comes a day before Facebook and other tech companies will testify in the US Senate on Russian influence on social media.
FB protests that it is not a publisher, only an innocent platform.
Here's how Pootin handles dissent

James Clapper: ‘The Russians Succeeded…Beyond Their Wildest Expectations’
former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said that Russian President Vladimir Putin likely considers his campaign against the United States to be a smash hit.
“Their first objective in the election was to sow discontent, discord and disruption in our political life, and they have succeeded to a fare-thee-well. They have accelerated, amplified the polarization and the divisiveness in this country and they’ve undermined our democratic system.”
Still, he wonders whether a hypothetical ouster of Trump via impeachment or the 25th Amendment might play into the Russians’ hands, given that Trump’s base would likely be furious and more conspiracy theories are bound to pop up.
“I’m not sure that an outcome like that—the president’s removal would be a good thing,” he said.

Marine General as hyper-patriot praising traitorous sececssionists
John Kelly ridiculed for blaming civil war on 'lack of ability to compromise'

"[Confederate General] Robert E. Lee was an honourable man who gave up his country to fight for his state,"
"One hundred and fifty years ago, that was more important than country -His comments triggered a backlash on social media as users mocked the
it was always loyalty to state back in those days. Now it's different.
But the lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War, and

FORMER CIA CHIEF: THE SMOKE AROUND TRUMP AND RUSSIA IS THICKENING
HOW MUCH TROUBLE IS PAUL MANAFORT IN?
John McLaughlin: This is very serious. Bob Mueller, the special counsel, is someone who approaches these things with great care.
When he offers evidence, it’s because he has great confidence that it’s going to hold up in court.
So I think this is a serious situation for Manafort, even though he pleaded not guilty Monday.
HOW IS ALL THIS LINKED TO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN?
McLaughlin: There are some linkages.
But I don’t believe the information about Manafort establishes collusion. That’s a difficult concept to deal with legally.
But certainly Monday’s evidence thickens the smoke.
The way in which this is linked to the campaign is that Manafort was at a meeting in June when the Russian lawyer came offering evidence of Hillary Clinton’s wrongdoing that would help Trump.
And Manafort cannot claim naiveté over this in the way that, say, Donald Trump Jr. could claim to be inexperienced.
Manafort had been around Russians and Ukrainians and had worked closely with a Vladimir Putin ally in Ukraine.
WILL MANAFORT SHED MORE LIGHT ON THAT MEETING, OR IS THIS ARREST AN INDICATION THAT HE’S NOT COOPERATING?
There’s also a message here, in the way that Mueller has dropped this news, to other individuals who may be worried about being targets of this investigation:
First is the example of Papadopoulos, who was arrested in July and at some point between July and October agreed to cooperate and has some kind of plea bargain arrangement — and may have even been gathering evidence secretly for the special counsel during that period.
The other example they’re looking at is someone who did not agree to cooperate and who’s been indicted by a grand jury and is in serious legal jeopardy.

I wonder if Pootin and/or his mafiya recommended Manafort to Trash, after Manafort had worked for Pootin and his puppet in Ukraine?
How were Trash and Manafort connected before Trash handed his campaign to Manafort?
Manafort sounds like your typical garden-variety DC swamp monster that Trash LIED about purging.

Who Is Viktor Yanukovych And What’s His Connection To Paul Manafort?
The former Ukrainian president was named in the indictment of Trump’s former campaign chai
Manafort and his associate Richard Gates acted as unregistered agents for Ukrainian political figures and parties between at least 2006 and 2015, specifically naming former pro-Russian Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych as one of their employers.
While working for Yanukovych and his Party of Regions, Manafort and Gates allegedly accrued tens of millions of dollars which they then hid from U.S. authorities and laundered through a convoluted series of foreign companies and bank accounts.
What Were Yanukovych’s Ties To Manafort?
Manafort first officially started working with Yanukovych and his pro-Russian Party of Regions in 2006, acting as a political consultant and helping to burnish the party’s tarnished image for parliamentary elections that year.
Manafort molded Yanukovych and other members of his party into more presentable politicians,
even down to advising them on their hair and clothes,
according to a Washington Post report on Manafort’s work in Ukraine.
U.S. diplomats in the country sent a cable back to the State Department in 2006 observing that
the Party of Regions was shifting from “a haven for Donetsk-based mobsters and oligarchs” into something more polished looking.
Yanukovych and his party continued to be prominent players in Ukrainian politics ― even after Yanukovych lost the office of prime minister in 2007 ― but they gained new prominence in the run-up to the 2010 Ukrainian election.
Manafort advised Yanukovych during his successful campaign for president that year, which saw
the Ukrainian leader rail against his country’s bid for joining NATO and seek better ties with Russia.

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly brushes aside Trump aide charges, endorses new Clinton inquiry

Trump's meltdown this morning is an all time classic
“If you look at the 12-count indictment against Mr. Manafort
it shows that he has a decade long history as a career criminal,” Steyer told Obeidallah.
“When you have someone like that is the winner of a winning presidential campaign,
at the heart of that campaign is willingness to accept lawlessness…
That kind of at ude was at the very heart of the Trump campaign and
we believe at the very heart of the Trump administration.”

How did Trash and Manafort get connected? When?
Did somebody, who?, Pootin?, recommend Manafort as campaign mgr to Trash?
Bathing in the blood of virgins every fortnight. Just a theory.
I think conservatives will be told this is very, very, super duper important by the propaganda shills at Fox News, who are doing everything but reporting the actual story.
, if Alderaan had deflection shields as strong as the one Trump is putting up, Star Wars would have gone way differently...
The bigger part of the story is that Popadopowhatever worked for Sessions as part of the Trump campaigns foreign policy arm.. The guy who testified under oath that he oh-so-definitely did NOT have discussions with Russians.
But by all means, hyperfocus on what Trump wants you to focus on. It will be funny watching your face when the other shoes start dropping.
Trump is gonna have to play Oprah for his staff.
"you get a lawyer, and you get a lawyer, and you get a lawyer"
He will have to borrow more money from Putin, one of the actual worlds wealthiest men, an irony that is not lost on me.
