It's not. Still, she did work there.
flip? Dude, trump had nothing to do with the guy during all of this. He was campaign manager for a small length of time during the primaries. Get a grip on yourself.
Fair enough, but in the 2010-2013 timeframe, Dewey and Skadden were pretty interchangeable. The suggestion that this chick went from something to nothing is wrong. But you're right, she worked at Skadden for four years.
Look, Paul Manafort may be in trouble but he is not synonymous with Donald trump.
bootlicker
You're right. They've only known each other since the 80s.
I’m sure you’ve known someone who got in trouble at some point or another, that doesn’t mean you were in on it. By that logic shouldn’t oprah be charged since she knew trump since the 80s? What about The clintons? They knew him. They were friends before all this election business. She has ties to Russia also. Uranium one? Makes sense to me.
Let me rephrase.
They have known each other since the late 80s and have done shady businesses together. Manafort is how Trump got to meet so many Russians.
What shady businesses did trump and Manafort do together?
Dialed back expectations being pointed out equates to people being unhinged. People acting like overall small potatoes is *BOOM* is unhinged.
This is worse than conservatives freaking out Over the Nunez memo I saaaiidd
Lol not freaking out hiding in the mountains
What the latest Mueller indictment tells us about his strategy
Dutch attorney Alex van der Zwaan’s indictment shows how Mueller is trying to get to the big fish — in this case, former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort.
Van der Zwaan is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday at 2:30 pm EST to answer the indictment. He is expected to plead guilty
What did we learn from this?
The key piece of information in all of this is the timing:
Manafort resigned as Trump’s campaign manager on August 19, 2016 — weeks before the alleged conversations between Gates, Person A, and van der Zwaan.
The resignation was the result of widespread reporting about Manafort’s shady ties to Yanukovych, particularly an allegedly off-the-books payment.
If Gates and van der Zwaan were talking about the Skadden report in September 2016, and van der Zwaan felt the need to lie to the FBI about it,
it suggests that there may have been something criminal about the report’s production — or at least, something whose release would be politically damaging.
It’s not a stretch to think that evidence provided by van der Zwaan — like his “surrep ious” recording of his call with Gates and Person A — helped Mueller build a case strong enough that Gates had no choice but to flip.
What this shows, more than anything else, is how methodical and wide-ranging the Mueller investigation is
— that it’s willing to look all the way back to an obscure report from the winter of 2012 in order to get to the truth about the Trump-Russia scandal.
Mueller is starting at the lowest level, with seemingly unrelated people like van der Zwaan, to get to the big fish.

Mark Gonzales: Trump’s Critics Are ‘Messing With The Hand Of Almighty God’
Religious Right organization POTUS Shield—
which is run by tsunami-stoppingpastor Frank Amedia,
who served as a volunteer “Christian policy liaison” for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign—held a conference call to pray for Trump and his family.
During the call, Mark Gonzales of the U.S. Hispanic Action Network led participants in praying that
God will expose and defeat Trump’s critics, warning that those who oppose the president are really opposing God.
Gonzales prayed that God will expose the corruption in the FBI, the CIA, and
the special counsel investigation that “the enemy is trying to use and connive” to bring down Trump.

How many Ms, or 10Ms, of stupid ing Americans believe this ?
Trump’s unhinged Russia tweetstorm boomerangs back on Republicans
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), he refused, claiming (in The Post’s words) that “he would consider any effort by the White House to challenge the Russians publicly an act of partisan politics.”
Former CIA director John Brennan has gone on the record about these efforts. “In those briefings of Congress, some of the individuals expressed concern that this was motivated by partisan interests on the part of the [Obama] administration,” Brennan recently said in a “Frontline” do entary. “I took offense to that. I told them that this is an intelligence assessment; that this is an intelligence matter.”
Trump’s new spin in the face of the indictment — that it reveals Obama’s failure to act in the face of the threat — also invites more scrutiny of their conduct in the face of that threat.
avoiding grappling with whether it might have helped tip an extremely close election to Trump — an uncomfortable topic, because that might
place a question mark over Trump’s legitimacy.
Because Trump refuses to take Russian sabotage of the 2016 presidential election seriously,
Trump is con uously failing to organize a response to the threat of Russian meddling in upcoming elections,
even though intelligence officials warn this effort is already upon us.
a “bigger and darker question,” namely whether Trump — and, crucially,
congressional Republicans — may not particularly care about this threat if they stand to benefit from it.
the specific conduct of GOP lawmakers in declining to show a united front against Russian sabotage of our democracy is a topic that needn’t remain speculative.
It can be fully fleshed out and established with empirical, journalistic inquiry.
Trump has unwittingly invited this inquiry.
We should take him up on it.

My bet is
1. that McConnell, when he blocked Obama going public with Russian meddling, knew that the Russians were helping Trash/hurting Hillary.
2. The Repugs fully expect Pootin to help them, AGAIN, in the 2018 mid-terms.
Yes. Also involved with the report Manafort commissioned was the Podesta Group and Greg Craig, Skadden Arps partner and Obama White House counsel. Why didn't Holder indict back then?
The fear is palpable.
TSA reduced to passive aggressive ankle biting.
lol
Do you think Holder didn't indict Manafort because he was working with the Podesta Group and Greg Craig?
