    The U.S. Government Has Amassed Terabytes of Internal WikiLeaks Data

    There are several hints as to the contents of these drives.

    According to the affidavit from Assange, the information on the hard drives included, in addition to the

    possible staff emails,

    “chat communications ...

    copies of passports [and]

    video footage taken in secret.”

    Following an Associated Press article based off of a

    cache of “WikiLeaks emails,

    chat logs,

    financial records,

    secretly recorded footage and

    other do ents” from within the organization,

    WikiLeaks alleged that the cache was the same that had been provided to the FBI.

    Trump swore interpreter to secrecy after Putin meeting and took away notes





    Trash went to “extraordinary lengths” to hide his meetings with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin from his own White House aides,
    reports the Washington Post.

    Trump

    took away his interpreter’s notes from the meeting “instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired with other administration officials.”

    “The constraints that Trump imposed are part of a broader pattern by the president of

    shielding his communications with Putin from public scrutiny and

    preventing even high-ranking officials in his own administration from fully knowing what he has told one of the United States’ main adversaries,”

    Mueller talking to the translator sworn to secrecy might not look good.

    If somehow any of the Five Eyes were in the room, Mueller would know it too.

    Trash's bull omerta, NDAs, etc, trying to hide his unethical, probably criminal, even treasonous behavior.

    Mueller interviewing Trash's translator when fraud, liar, very probably criminal Trash is under investigation, which many think includes treason, is not a "not look good".

    gaslighting was the cinematic term, but far from the only commentary


    "the German philosopher and political theorist Hannah Arendt, an émigré from Nazi Germany.

    “The result of a consistent and total subs ution of lies for factual truth,”

    Arendt wrote in her classic volume The Origins of Totalitarianism,

    “is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie,

    but that

    the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world

    and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end—

    is being destroyed.”

    A Justice Department Veteran Explains Why Trump Can’t Suppress the Mueller Report

    Even with a new Trump-friendly attorney general, the final Russia findings will likely become public. Here’s why

    Neal Katyal, a former acting solicitor general during Barack Obama’s presidency, published a series of tweets that made the strongest case yet for why the Mueller report will eventually become public.

    to ensure “Congressional and public confidence in the integrity of the process.” In other words, a check on the attorney general if he or she tries to suppress or dismiss the conclusions and recommendations of the special counsel.

    the ability of an attorney general to override the special counsel is quite narrow — and that’s by design. The A.G. can only intervene if what the special counsel is recommending would violate “established Departmental practices,” grossly exceeding the past practices at the DOJ.

    “There is no DOJ established practice that says if a Presidential candidate cheats enough and wins the Presidency, that he gets a get-out-of-jail-free card,”

    Mueller can signal to the A.G. that he wants to take legally sensitive acts as a result of his probe, and force the A.G. to override him, triggering the report to Congress.

    “It is a safeguard to prevent a cover-up, it creates a mandatory report to a separate and coequal branch of govt,” Katyal tweeted.

    “So that is why I believe Mueller has a move left to play if Whitaker or Barr (if confirmed) try to stymie him and his full report.”

    White House’s plan to claim executive privilege and prevent Mueller’s most sensitive findings from being released?

    Katyal doesn’t buy it.

    He’s argued, in tweets and an op-ed, that Trump has an “even weaker” case than Richard Nixon did in the 1970s.

    Even under the Trump administration’s view that a sitting president can’t be indicted — a view that is hotly debated —

    that would mean Mueller would have to turn over all of his investigative materials to Congress as part of a possible impeachment process,

    coming from Katyal, the argument in favor of Mueller’s work seeing daylight is convincing.

    “Bottom line: the President can try to hide the Mueller Report,” Katyal tweeted. “He will lose to the public’s right to know.”

    https://www.rollingstone.com/politic...public-777215/


    And that's just Mueller, who has certainly give lots of info to SDNY.

    And Weissberg flips, Trash's money-man?

    GOP Shrugs Off Report That Trump Concealed Details Of Putin Meetings

    “This is not a traditional president. He has unorthodox means,” Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said in defense of Trump.

    President
    Donald Trump has “gone to extraordinary lengths” to conceal his conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the last two years.

    Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), appearing on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” similarly dismissed the Post report, arguing that Trump’s administration has been tough on Russia and that concerns about the president’s affinity for
    Putin are unfounded.

    Asked whether he’d like Congress to investigate the matter, including potentially calling the president’s translator to testify, McCarthy said, “I’d like the president to be able to build these relationships.”

    Mueller Will Say Trump ‘Helped Putin Destabilize the U.S.’

    Carl Bernstein has reported that he has received confidential information concerning the draft report soon to be issued by special counsel Robert Mueller.

    According to Bernstein, Mueller’s report will provide
    convincing evidence that President Donald Trump in many ways helped Russia“destabilize the United States.”

    he has done what appears to be Putin’s goals. He has helped Putin destabilize the United States and interfere in the election, no matter whether it was purposeful or not.”

    Bernstein also revealed that he knew from his own confidential, high-level sources that Mueller’s draft report would specifically discuss this same assessment, that Putin had used Trump to achieve his goals.

    “And that is part of what the draft of Mueller’s report, I’m told, is to be about,”

    “We know there has been collusion by former national security adviser Michael Flynn. We know there has been collusion of some sort by Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort. The question is, yes, what did the president know and when did he know it?”

    Republican intelligence analyst: ‘The only time Trump’s not shooting himself in Russia probe is when he’s loading the gun’

    former Congressional Republican Mike Rogers, who sat on the House Intelligence Committee, explained how

    the president raises su ions when he thrusts himself into the Russia investigation.

    Rogers also knocked the president for meeting with Putin without witnesses to take notes.


    “He keeps walking into that narrative,” Rogers said.

    “I mean, the only time the president is not shooting himself in the foot on the Russia investigation is when he’s reloading the gun,” Rogers added.

    “He continues to interject himself in these conversations in a way

    that is not helpful for people to now understand what’s going on with Russia.

    He keeps feeding that narrative with these kinds of things.”

    US allies question Trump’s ‘legitimacy’ after new Russia bombs s: former senior diplomat

    Former United States Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman told MSNBC on Monday that the United States was in a “dangerous moment” that has America’s allies worried about President Donald Trump’s legitimacy, after

    the
    Washington Post’s bombs report that Trump went to “extraordinary lengths” to hide, and possibly destroy, the notes from his private meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki.

    “I think we’re in an extraordinarily dangerous moment,” Sherman said.

    “When people listen to this around the world, they wonder what the authority of the president of the United States is, whether he has legitimate leadership standing here in this country.”


    The picture that U.S. allies see, as related by Sherman, was a country in chaos.

    “They see a government that is paralyzed at the moment in the shutdown, and

    they see a government where the president of the United States can talk with another leader without anyone present and no one knows what the results of that are,” she said.

    “That gives impunity to other leaders around the world and

    puts us in a very insecure position, because

    the senior leaders in our government don’t know what’s going on.”

    To be honest, such wild skepticism is very controversial. It is a pity that such a noise rises as a whole from scratch and instead of doing something, we are engaged in disputes and abuse.

    Revelations about Manafort’s 2016 interactions with Russian associate show special counsel’s intense focus on Russia contacts


    window into how extensively the special counsel has mapped interactions between Trump associates and Russians in his 20-month-long investigation.

    special counsel Robert S. Mueller III has also been scrutinizing interactions between Russians and Manafort while he led Trump’s presidential bid.

    Manafort is among
    at least 14 Trump associates who interacted with Russians during the campaign and transition,

    much about Mueller’s findings remains unknown in what are widely believed to be the closing weeks of his probe.

    Even as he was working for the Trump campaign, Manafort continued to communicate with Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian employee of his consulting business who the FBI says was linked to Russian intelligence,

    A talented translator with impressive language skills, Kilimnik had been trained at a Moscow university known as a recruiting ground for the Russian intelligence services.

    Study: Most Innocent People Need to Hire Thirty-Five Lawyers at Some Point

    WASHINGTON —Most people who are innocent of any crimes will still need to hire thirty-five lawyers at some point,

    thirty-five is the “bare minimum” number of lawyers that an innocent person should have on retainer in the event that he or she becomes the subject of an entirely unjustified criminal investigation.

    “We found that many innocent people are going through life without taking the basic precaution of hiring thirty-five lawyers,”

    “They are flirting with disaster.”

    “An innocent person who has absolutely nothing to hide

    should do everything in his or her power to avoid answering questions from investigators,”

    “Thirty-five lawyers can really help you do that.”

    the powerful statement it makes. “Nothing says ‘I’m innocent’ like hiring thirty-five lawyers,”

    thirty-five lawyers provide necessary protection against unforeseen legal complications.

    “If, for example, one of your lawyers goes to prison, you will still have thirty-four,”

    “Legal bills for thirty-five lawyers can be very expensive, unless you’re a person who doesn’t pay his bills,”

    Trump's call-in to Fox News backfires, and he may have committed a felony in the process

    the Pirro interview, because he did something else remarkable during the call: He suggested that the Fox News host and other media look into Michael Cohen’s father-in-law.

    It seems unmistakably clear that

    Donald Trump is encouraging a major media network to pursue an investigation of a witness

    who is scheduled to publicly testify with damning information on Donald Trump.

    This action appears to meet the threshold of
    felony witness tampering.

    Democrats think so too, and they warned Trump to cease his public attacks on Michael Cohen.

    From possible witness tampering to obstruction of justice,

    there is a reason Donald Trump is so eager to stop Michael Cohen from telling the world all he knows about Donald Trump.

    Cohen’s lawyer and representative, Lanny Davis,
    told MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt over the weekend that

    Michael Cohen is quite simply the “greatest threat” to Trump and his presidency:

    “Donald Trump sees Michael Cohen, and I would say justifiably,

    as the greatest threat to his presidency and what

    could be criminal and impeachable actions as president.”
