    Do you want me to keep laughing at your "bombs " you didn't read?

    It had nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with Gates/Manafort/Podesta/Skadden Arps work in Ukraine for Tymoshenko in 2012.
    Trump campaign was warned. They did not comply.

    What's your guess on Hillary hiring Podesta?
    Probably his work for the Democrats on the federal level dating back to 1979.

    Just a guess though.

    What's your guess, TSA?

    Mr. Dowd, who was hired last year to defend the president during the Mueller inquiry, took the lead in dealing directly with Mr. Flynn’s and Mr. Manafort’s lawyers, according to two people familiar with how the legal team operated.

    He denied on Wednesday that he discussed pardons with lawyers for the president’s former advisers.

    “There were no discussions. Period,” Mr. Dowd said. “As far as I know, no discussions.”

    Contacted repeatedly over several weeks, the president’s lawyers representing him in the special counsel’s investigation maintained that they knew of no discussions of possible pardons.

    “Never during the course of my representation of the president have I had any discussions of pardons of any individual involved in this inquiry,” Jay Sekulow, a lawyer for Mr. Trump, said on Wednesday.

    Ty Cobb, the White House lawyer dealing with the investigation, added, “I have only been asked about pardons by the press and have routinely responded on the record that no pardons are under discussion or under consideration at the White

    You got it all wrong. They were discussing whether Trump could adopt Flynn and Manafort.

    Who Ratted Out John Dowd? I Think We Know

    So who ratted out John Dowd and his offers or hints of offers of pardons to Trump’s top aides who found themselves in Robert Mueller’s crosshairs? I think we can make a pretty solid educated guess.

    February 23rd, Rick Gates cut his deal with Bob Mueller.

    It seems quite likely that Manafort either discussed these offers with Gates (after all, they were originally fighting this as a team) or the offer was made to Gates as well. Perhaps, in fact quite likely, Manafort would have relayed the offer.

    After all, the value of Manafort staying quiet would be heavily undercut if Gates talked. He’d need to get the offer too.

    So Gates makes his deal, shares this information with Bob Mueller and then Mueller’s investigators go to Flynn to try to get confirmation. Flynn’s cooperating. So he needs to answer.

    Pretty quickly Mueller et al. can confirm that these offers (hints of offers at least) weremade. The Times seems to get wind of it around the same time.

    Remember that these offers would have had to have been made many months ago, before Flynn’s deal (12/1/2017) and before the charges against Manafort (10/30/2017).

    I think we can be pretty confident that we know one of Mueller’s first big gets from Gates’ cooperation.

    It’s not just elections: Russia hacked the US electric grid

    And it may be just the first phase of a bigger attack.

    On March 15, the US government released a report describing

    a massive Russian hacking campaign to infiltrate America’s “critical infrastructure” —

    things like power plants, nuclear generators, and water facilities.

    The joint report from the FBI and Department of Homeland Security claims that Russian hackers gained access to computers across the targeted industriesand collected sensitive data including passwords, logins, and information about energy generation.

    While the report doesn’t specify any identifiable sabotage, the intrusion itself could set up future attacks that do more than just record
    observations.

    Energy Secretary Rick Perry told lawmakers at an appropriations hearing that cyberattacks are “literally happening hundreds of thousands of times a day,” and warned that

    the Department of Energy needs an “office of cybersecurity and emergency response” in order to be prepared for threats like this in the future.

    sure, Jimmy Ricky's gonna spend money on cybersecurity

    a big deal:

    It’s the first time the US government has publicly blamed Russia’s government for attacks on energy infrastructure.

    Explicitly pinning the attack on the Kremlin means that rather than targeting the hackers as individuals,

    the United States can now respond against Russia as a whole.

    And Trash is enraged and is on the case defending America as he is sworn to do

    Mueller makes two points: Manafort had active ties to Russia and don't mess with the special counsel

    A business associate of Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort had a direct connection to Russian intelligence—and that includes during the 2016 campaign.

    The associate, named in court do ents as “Person A,” is described as a former GRU (the main military foreign-intelligence service of the Russian Federation) officer—a description that fits Kilimnik.

    According to the court do ents, “Person A” was in communication with Manafort and Gates during the 2016 campaign and had continued contact with Manafort’s former associates in Ukraine.

    The second item revealed is no surprise:

    Robert Mueller is seriously invested in the idea that lying to the special counsel’s office should generate more than a slap on the wrist.

    there’s a difference between his indictment last month on charges of lying to investigators and

    similar charges against Rick Gates, Michael Flynn and George Papadopoulos—

    van der Zwaan is not a cooperating witness.

    He’s just … indicted.

    Robert Mueller's office argued that a judge shouldn't rule out jail time for Alex van der Zwaan, a lawyer who pleaded guilty to lying to prosecutors and the FBI in the Russia investigation.

    Van der Zwaan’s indictment may not have come with an agreement to testify, but it did come as part of a plea deal that allowed van der Zwaan to avoid additional charges based on multiple instances of lying to investigators and withholding do ents pertinent to the investigation.

    "The defendant was expressly warned by the government that it is a crime to lie to the Special Counsel’s Office,

    that lying could cons ute a federal crime, and

    that such conduct would carry with it the possibility of going to jail if he were convicted.

    van der Zwaan stated that he understood.

    He thereafter deliberately and repeatedly lied,"

    He was warned, but he persisted … in lying to the special counsel’s office.

    still a lot of people who haven’t taken their turn in Mueller’s chair, and

    they should all know that not telling the truth there carries serious consequences.

    Van der Zwaan’s is the weirdest case of career suicide I've seen since Tillerson's " ing moron" comment.

    Rick Wilson was right: everything Trump touches dies.
