Trump: ‘People will die’ because of the Russia investigation

"People will die because of it, and it’s a pure hit job," Trump said aboard Air Force One.

On Saturday, President Donald Trump said that “people will die” because of the Department of Justice and Congress’s investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

“This artificial Democratic hit job gets in the way,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on the way to Hanoi, Vietnam.

“It gets in the way. And that’s a shame. Because people will die because of it. And it’s a pure hit job. And it’s artificially induced. And that’s [a] shame.”

There was no collusion,”

Trump reportedly continued while speaking to reporters on Saturday.

“Everybody knows there was no collusion.

Trump sides with U.S. intelligence agencies on Russian meddling

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday he sided with U.S. intelligence agencies, under their current leadership, when it came to Russian meddling in last year’s U.S. election.

He was speaking a day after meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin and saying he believed the Russian leader when he denied accusations that Russia meddled, despite U.S. intelligence agencies’ conclusion of Russian interference.

“As to whether I believe it or not, I’m with our agencies, especially as currently cons uted,” Trump told a news conference in Vietnam. “As currently led, by fine people, I believe very much in our intelligence agencies.”

I believe my BFF very hurt Vlad that he didn't meddle

I believe US IC that Vlad did meddle

Former U.S. intelligence officials: Trump being ‘played’ by Putin

Two top former U.S. intelligence officials said Sunday that President Trump is being “played” by President Vladi*mir Putin on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and accused him of being susceptible to foreign leaders who stroke his ego.
“By not confronting the issue directly and not acknowledging to Putin that we know you’re responsible for this, I think he’s giving Putin a pass,”

“I think it demonstrates to Mr. Putin that Donald Trump can be played by foreign leaders who are going to appeal to his ego and try to play upon his insecurities, which is very, very worrisome from a national security standpoint.”

former director of national intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. said he agrees with that assessment.

“He seems very susceptible to rolling out the red carpet and honor guards and all the trappings and pomp and cir stance that come with the office, and I think that appeals to him, and I think it plays to his insecurities,”

In his earlier remarks to reporters, Trump also referred to Brennan and Clapper as “political hacks.” Brennan said Sunday that he considers Trump’s characterization “a badge of honor.”

Brennan said. “Putin is committed to undermining our system, our democracy and our whole process. And to try paint it in any other way is, I think, astounding, and, in fact, poses a peril to this country.”


Steven Mnuchin came to Trump’s defense, brushing aside the comments of Brennan and Clapper.
“Those were the most ridiculous statements,” Mnuchin said. “President Trump is not getting played by anybody.”

Mueller Immediately Closes Investigation After Hearing Putin Proclaim His Innocence




WASHINGTON —The special counsel Robert Mueller announced on Saturday that he was closing the Justice Department’s Russia investigation, “effective immediately,” after hearing that President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, said he was innocent of any election meddling.

Moments after learning about Putin’s assertion, Mueller hastily assembled his staff of investigators to inform them that,

now that Putin had fully exonerated himself, there was no point in continuing the probe.

“Vladimir Putin says he did nothing,” Mueller told his staff. “That’s good enough for me.”

Speaking later to reporters, Mueller said that, by disbanding his investigation,

he was following the time-honored law-enforcement tradition of taking a suspect’s word for it.

“For the past several months, we’ve assembled tax records, cell-phone recordings, bank transfers, and e-mail communications that indicated Russia was involved in the election,”

a visibly shaken Mueller said.

“Somehow, we got it wrong—very, very wrong.”

As for his future plans, Mueller said that his first order of business was to write a hearfelt letter of apology to Putin.

“I feel terrible knowing that I’ve spent all this time investigating a person who did absolutely nothing wrong,” he said.

“Hindsight is 20/20, but I really should have called him first and asked him what really happened.”

Former FBI counter-spy on Mueller, Trump and Putin: “Russia is winning”

Naveed Jamali was a double agent battling Russian intelligence. He says their plans have worked brilliantly

Manafort himself offered to work for Trump for free.

So where was he making his money? I think that one can logically infer that the Russians were still paying his meal ticket -- or he at least he saw that as where his meal ticket was going to get paid, going forward.

Russia's goal was to build a relationship ,with the intent of recruiting people to become their assets. This was done with the lure being Hillary Clinton's email. This was done with Peter W. Smith, the Republican operative who committed suicide [last May, shortly after an interview with the Wall Street Journal]

It seems very clear that the Russians were using the prospect of giving Trump dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of their effort to make contact with people within the Trump's inner circle.

This is also a clear sign that the Russians tried to recruit Papadopoulos. He had several meetings with them across both Moscow and London. To me, that indicates there is a strong likelihood that Papadopoulos was in fact a Russian asset.

With Manafort, look to the money.

In counterintelligence and espionage there is an acronym called MICE. These are the four pillars of motivation for espionage: money, ideology, coercion, ego. With Manafort it was all about money.

These are people who wanted to win at all costs, and believed that this information was something they could get that would help secure the presidency for Trump.

this pattern demonstrates an attempt by the Russians to recruit U.S. persons to support their operational intent to undermine our country.

I think the biggest problem we have with Manafort and Gates is that there are alleged criminal activities which predate the campaign, especially the Ukrainian money-laundering operation.

That is something which will be used to parry and deflect. But ultimately it does not matter if these events happened before the presidential campaign. They are still a crime.

It also shows that

Manafort is a man who has been a campaign manager and likely a money launderer for the Russians.

He should never have been in that position [on the Trump campaign] to begin with. At best,

Donald Trump could just plead ignorance, that he didn’t do his due diligence. Again, this doesn’t make him look any better.

I think that Donald Trump was not fully aware of a lot of these intricacies. I think he was not aware of them simply because of the Russians. The Russians were very smart about this, in terms of figuring out how to recruit people.

They rightfully characterized Trump as someone who is not suitable to be an asset

the better strategy for the Russians would have been to target those around him, such as Flynn, Kushner, Manafort and so on.

What that does, though, is to give Donald Trump some plausible deniability.

Ultimately responsibility rests with Trump, whether there's criminal activity directly associated with Russia or not, because this was his show. He should have known what's going on. but Trash is a Russian asset!

Did Trump bring them here because of incompetence, or did he bring them here for some ulterior motive?

It matters because this was

a sophisticated campaign by a foreign intelligence service to attack and undermine the United States of America.

Look, if we had said ISIS attempted to attack us, and U.S. persons were supporting them in that campaign, people at Fox News would be freaked out. They should be just as freaked out, even if it is not ISIS and it is in fact Russia.

One would say logically that the president of the United States wouldn’t do that, but

Donald Trump has so far shown a complete and utter lack of grasp of logic.

I think the strategy that Mueller has employed is a brilliant one. He is essentially setting the stage to encourage people to voluntarily come forward and talk. That is what he did with these two indictments. There was one guilty plea, and also maybe an additional indictment or a request to compel an attorney to speak.

But at the end of the day this is still

a counterintelligence investigation into how the Russians launched a sophisticated attack against us,

and who in the United States -- I mean specifically in Donald Trump's presidential campaign -- helped them do that.

It is disconcerting because of the question you asked about the Fox News viewers.

Fox/conservative bubble time:

There is going to be 30 percent of the country

that no matter what evidence is wheeled out,

what logic is presented,

whatever facts are raised,

whatever irrefutable evidence comes forward,

will refuse to believe that any of this is true. They will think it is supposedly "fake news."

The Russians planned an operation and Americans said yes to their overtures. What bothers me, and what keeps me up at night, is the fact that people do not seem to want to hear that. They seem completely unwilling to believe that this is anything but a Russian operation. They seem fixated on this being some kind of Democratic plot. It's maddening.

The reality is that Russia is winning. We are talking about something which occurred, at its latest, over a year ago. This means that whatever the Russians did, they have had a year to figure out what they're going to do next. They have suffered no consequences, so why wouldn’t Russia continue with this strategy? They'll have at least a year's head start on us. We have not even begun to discuss how the Russians were able to plan and execute such an operation.

We're not talking about the holes that existed for the Russians to exploit.

https://www.salon.com/2017/11/10/for...ia-is-winning/

Fox and right wing hate media lying to its audience that the Russians are innocent, and Mueller's operation is Dem partisan bull , really means the Fox and the right wing hate media are traitors, are actually Pootin/Russian assets.

and the Big Orange Turd shakes hands with Pootin in Vietnam, and then tells the world that Pootin is telling the truth that Russians did not meddle with the USA.

Sums it up.

He’s been at the forefront of exposing the Awan scandal for over a year. He’s got a case.

Would you say he a leading member of the "pizzagate community"?

I'm not a member of that, so I will have to defer to your insider's judgment.

[RandomGuy]

Now I know you haven't read it.

It's simply insane.

This guy lost it a long time ago. If you keep pimping his conspiracies, you've lost it too. I propose you keep all your conspiracies in separate threads so you and we can see everything you believe in total. It really looks like you're just trying to muddy the waters ITT.

That is the thing I don't quite understand about people like TSA, who are convinced of secret plots and conspiracies. They are happy as punch to believe all sorts of like pizzagate, as long as it fits their narrative, and complain at great length about people carrying water for the conspiracy they think exists.

Then when Stupid Watergate comes along, and there is an actual conspiracy, albeit a stupid one, executed poorly (which is often the case in the real world), they do exactly what they accuse others of doing, in the rush to be the Internet Avenger.
