Push for marijuana retail licenses
Part of the alleged scheme revolved around an effort to curry favor with politicians who could help them win licenses for a retail marijuana business they hoped to establish. The business venture and the ensuing lobbying effort was largely funded by a Russian national, running afoul of campaign finance violations that prohibit political donations from foreigners, the indictment states.

It was going to happen sooner or later....

I've got to admit the arrest for LOL campaign finance laws sure was timed perfectly to try and bury the stories coming out of Joe Biden receiving $900,000 for lobbying for Burisma.

So Trump's DOJ is now in on your conspiracy.

Have you ever considered the possibility that the story you're trying to push about Biden is complete bull and you've been fooled again like you've been so many times before?

Two of the guys you're relying on are sitting in jail right.

Does that give you no pause?

At all?

Study: Millions of Taxpayer Dollars Could Be Saved by Impeaching Pence at Same Time



MINNEAPOLIS —A nonpartisan study published by the University of Minnesota has found that the nation could save “untold millions” of taxpayer dollars by impeaching Mike Pence at the same time as Donald J. Trump.

The study, en led “Operation bogo,” makes a compelling case for commencing an impeachment inquiry into Pence “as soon as possible,” its author, Davis Logsdon, said on Thursday.

“The cost of impeaching Trump alone or Trump and Pence together is virtually identical,”

Logsdon, an economics professor, said.

“This is all about economy of scale.”

“Taxpayers are already paying Adam Schiff to investigate Trump,” he added. “I’m fairly sure

Schiff could be persuaded to throw in Pence for free.”

When it comes time to publish articles of impeachment against Trump, Logsdon noted,

“It would cost almost nothing in terms of paper or ink cartridges to add the words ‘and Pence, too.’ ”

In the eventuality that Trump and Pence are removed from office simultaneously, additional cost savings could be achieved, Logsdon added.

“They could share the same moving van,” he said.

In conclusion, the University of Minnesota study proposed that

the millions saved by impeaching Pence at the same time as Trump

could be spent on schools, roads, and paying down the national debt.

“The question is no longer ‘Should we impeach Mike Pence?’ ” Logsdon said.

“The question is ‘How can we afford not to?’ ”

Watergate... but with morons.

[RandomGuy]

But lying to a grand jury is

So is obstruction of justice. Mueller report listed about a dozen counts, and Trump has probably racked up a few more after the investigation wrapped.

[RandomGuy]

It's amazing watching deranged partisans try to debate law on the level of someone like vy65 with complete obliviousness to how stupid he's making them look. But I am glad he took the time, because I learned some things too.

Lindsey Graham is ‘ready to throw Rudy Giuliani under the bus’: GOP strategist

the latest move by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to let Trump’s television lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, air his conspiracy theories before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

they’re setting him up.

If he has to testify under oath, he’s not just going to be answering Lindsey Graham’s questions,

he’s going to be answering democratic senators, three of which are presidential candidates, so it will be a complete show,”

“I’m not sure why they’re doing this, but again, it could be part of that

deflection and process instead of focusing on what the president is being charged with or investigated for,”

This ought to be good. I think Graham may finally have realized, like Ricky Perry, that Trump will throw ANYONE under the bus if he thinks he can benefit.

Betraying the Kurds gives them one pretext to turn on him without admitting the Democrats are right about anything.

You can bet they're hoping for more. They can only hope they didn't take money from Parnas and Fruman now.

Probably a good idea since he'd be asked what he was talking about with this guy during lunch at the Trump International yesterday.
