Flynn in major trouble for speaking to Russia about sanctions

[Winehole23]

Trump screwed up the take so badly there are no talking points there. Terrorism was a result of the Russian invasion, not a pretext.

are you dense?

trump revised history to flatter/favor putin/russia
trump rewrote factual history with a putin approved fantasy

why?

where did he get this from?
he never used the words “great” “big” or any of his regular over the top boasts

he just parroted a very specific talking point to muddy history in russia/soviet union favor

you better believe usa intel is going to jump on this asap and dig into who trump is receiving propaganda from


of course - you see zero impropriety here but continue to “act open-minded”

bonnerific pegged you

[Winehole23]

What specific talking point?

The USSR invaded Afghanistan to spread communism, not to fight terror.

[Winehole23]

Looks like you didn't read the article either.

What specific talking point?

exactly

now- what did trump say?

that the soviets invaded because terrorists caused this - and russia rightfully acted in response to terrorist

not because russia aggressively spread communism

The plot thickens...

so, he wasn't parroting a Russian talking point, but just making up.

uh - making up that flatters russia -

or

like I said - he was instructed on what to say by Putin


and almost everything this traitor has done - always is exactly what Russia would want him to do.

This is goofy as .

I've said over and over again that I don't find the conspiracy/collusion narrative compelling, but I'm amenable to the hypothesis that money laundering by shady Russian billionaires and Persian Gulf chieftains has been keeping Donald Trump afloat, long before he entered politics.

The nuts is this: MBS overpaid for a Da Vinci by $350 Mil and the painting has since been "lost." The seller is a man named Rybolovlev, who bought DJT's Palm Beach home in 2006 for about $50 mil above valuation, never lived in it, then tore the hose down and sold the plot a few years later. The two are said to have met toward the end of the 2016 campaign in NC; both men deny it, but their airplanes shared the same tarmac for a few hours on November 3rd, 2016.

Rybolovlev put the masterpiece up for auction through Christie’s in November 2017. The estimated price for Lot 9B was between $80 and $120 million. Christies’s auctioneers were stunned when bidding quickly surged past $80 million in just seconds and then, just as effortlessly over $130 million. Two anonymous bidders continuously outbid each other, not stopping until they had run up the price to $450.3 million, making it the single most expensive work of art ever sold at auction.

In the ensuing days, The New York Times unmasked Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman as the masterpiece’s real buyer but the iden y of the second bidder stayed hidden for months.

In March, The Daily Mail revealed the counter-bidder was Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed (MbZ). The princes claimed they had no idea the other was bidding and dismissed the whole thing as a mistake.

To be clear, these are the very same crown princes George Nader represented at the August 3rd [2016] meeting with Donald Trump, Jr. and whom, Nader promised, would pay for the social media campaign.

On the seller’s side, Dmitry Rybolovlev was not only well-acquainted with Psy-Group’s founder but as an owner of the Bank of Cyprus, he could quietly carve out payments to Psy-Group, along with any kickbacks to Putin, without anyone noticing

Team Trump prepares effort to suppress parts of Mueller report if necessary

Mueller ... is required to issue it to the Justice Department only, not Congress.

Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker or Attorney General nominee William Barr—both of who have expressed public doubts about the investigation—will then be in charge of deciding how to handle the findings

House Democrats intend to demand access to it and make it public

White House has different ideas, however, and they expect to be able to review it before anything goes public and potentially claim executive privilege in order to withhold certain findings from Congress if necessary.

the report will almost certainly include information Trump finds objectionable.

claims of executive privilege to rebuff Congress have typically faced stiff challenges in court,

which is exactly where the issue would be headed if Trump tries to block any of the report from being disclosed publicly.

“executive privilege can always be pierced by a specific and legitimate criminal or congressional inquiry.”
