    Michael Flynn's lawyers stopped sharing info with Trump's, right before he flipped. Now Cohen's doing it.

    I told y'all

    Evidence Mounts That Russia Covertly Swayed Brexit Just Like the U.S. Election

    Putin appears to have used a billionaire businessman in Britain as a tool to pass the referendum.

    that taken as a whole, simply cannot be coincidences.

    First and foremost both events ultimately were determined in a manner which was advantageous to Vladimir Putin.

    Second, both Brexit and the U.S. election featured Cambridge Analytica and its founders Robert and Rebekah Mercer as key players.

    Now yet another piece in the puzzle of Russian dominion over the two elections is fitting into place.

    UK financier Aaron Banks financed Brexit with the largest donation in British history

    after he just happened to have been offered a “sweetheart” deal

    on Russian gold and diamond mining projects which

    were only offered to a “restricted number of investors.”
    New York Magazine:

    < long article >

    There’s an old aphorism,

    first time is happenstance,

    second time is coincidence,

    third time is enemy action.

    There is no happenstance or coincidence with Vladimir Putin.

    He cuts straight to the chase all the time, every time.

    With respect to both Brexit and the US election, Occam’s Razor is the only tool you need.

    What is your gut reaction to hearing that

    Aaron Banks has a Russian-born wife and

    a vanity license plate,

    “X MI5 SPY,”

    a reference to the British intelligence agency, MI5?


    Or this:

    On Nov. 12, 2016, Mr. Banks met President-elect Trump in Trump Tower.

    Upon his return to London, Mr. Banks had another lunch

    with the Russian ambassador where they discussed the Trump visit.

    If New York Mag has this info, then certainly Muller does.

    Cohen Won’t Declare Loyalty To Trump, Hints At Danger He Could Pose To Prez

    Again and again, Cohen refused declare fealty to Trump.

    “My wife, my daughter and my son have my first loyalty and always will—I put family and country first,” he said, repeating the refrain in different ways twice more.

    This is a far cry from his emotional promises to
    “take a bullet” for the President less than a year ago.

    Cohen “stiffened his spine.”

    “I will not be a punching bag as part of anyone’s defense strategy,

    I am not a villain in any story and won’t allow others to try to depict me in that way,”

    Cohen then hinted heavily that he has information to share on two hot-button and possibly damning episodes for the President:

    the infamous Trump tower meeting when “dirt” on Hillary Clinton was promised, and

    the $130,000 hush money payout made to Stormy Daniels during the election.


    On both questions, whether Trump knew of the meeting and if he had requested or promised to reimburse the payment,

    Cohen cryptically refused to answer—for now.

    “I want to answer,” he said.

    “One day I will answer. But for now I can’t comment further on advice of my counsel.”

    https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewi...0%28TPMNews%29


    Looks like Cohen has waved the white flag.

    Expect Twitler to twit up a storm in the next day or two about Mueller.

    Trash executing Pootin's strategy of destablizing Europe

    Trump Offered Bribe For France To Leave European Union

    We now know that Trump is actively trying to destabilize the European Union, two European officials told the Washington Post.

    During an April meeting at the White House, Trump offered French President Emmanuel Macron a shocking deal: If France leaves the E.U., the U.S. will give France a much better bilateral trade deal than the rest of the E.U. gets.


    Yes, a U.S. president actually offered a bribe to try to dismantle a major organization of U.S. allies. Trump tried to con his way into knocking down a pillar of Western democracy and the international liberal order.


    If Trump succeeded at this, it would make Russian President Vladimir Putin’s wildest dreams come true.


    http://www.nationalmemo.com/trump-of...uropean-union/

    Trash is a ING TRAITOR working relentless for America's enemy.


    Wow, talk about ham-handed. I can't think of any way this would go down well, and likely to provoke the exact opposite reaction than the moron wanted. wow....

    But then, predicting what Trump will, or won't do is sort of a mugs game. He never fails to do the stupidest possible, just when you think he can't be dumber.

    The thing about a good theory though, it that it both explains facts, and you can make testable predictions.

    Fact 1:
    Russia attempted to hack our electoral process through a multi-pronged attack.

    Fact 2:
    Donald "look how big my inauguration crowd was" Trump has done nothing but deny this even happened. He has shown no willingness whatsoever to hold Russia to account for anything.

    Fact 3:
    Donald Trump has a pattern of criticizing anyone, and everyone at the drop of a hat. Allies, enemies, courts, free press, nothing has escaped his remarks and twitter feed, except for ONE/(two) thing(s), and that is Russia/Putin

    Fact 4:
    Russian efforts appeared designed to support Trump

    Fact 5:
    Trump directly called on Russia publicly to support his efforts to get elected.

    Theory:
    Donald Trump has been compromised in some way. Either he directly owes them money, or they have evidence of some kind of him breaking the law or doing something he does not want others to know about.

    This theory explains those facts, and is fully consistent with observed reality.

    Prediction:
    Donald Trump will take no action personally, nor will he criticize Russia or Putin in any way in regards to the Russian attack on our elections. He may allow his underlings to do some minor, inconsequential stuff, and if forced to do anything by Congress will drag his feet, if not outright attempt to veto any sanctions.


    The way to falsify the theory:
    1) Trump criticizes Putin/Russia (good)
    2) Trump orders/takes action that materially harms Russian interests (definitive)

    Bull conspiracy theories fail very often because either: they cannot be falsified, or they directly conflict with observed reality. This theory can be falsified, and does not conflict with what we know as fact.

    Donald Trump is unpredictable except for Russia
    .

    He may be stupid enough to fire Mueller if Mueller starts asking questions that will expose how he has been compromised.

    If he does so, he will be impeached. The Republican party will have almost no choice at that point. Congress will find their spine, because they want to be re-elected, and Trump will have gone too far for all but the most jaded hacks.
    Pretty much what we have been saying Mueller was doing.

    Quite frankly, that theory looks better with each passing long-time ally we alienate. No few number of people who study geo politics have noted that US actions couldn't have been better scripted to benefit Russia than if they came off Putin's desk, which I have come to believe has happened to some degree.

    I think your simp is taking some rather bad "advice" from his buddy, probably to get a good employee performance review when they meet in Finland.

    Thanks for finding it though.

    The FBI, FTC and SEC are joining the Justice Department’s inquiries into Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica disclosures

    An alphabet soup of federal agencies are now poring over
    Facebook’s disclosures and the company’s statements about its response to the improper use of its user information by the political consultancy Cambridge Analytica.

    the emphasis of the investigation has been on what Facebook disclosed about its information sharing with Cambridge Analytica and

    whether those disclosures correlate to the timeline that’s being established by government investigators.

    The fear, for Facebook, is that the government may decide that the company didn’t reveal enough to either investors or the public about the extent of the misallocation of user data.

    Another concern is whether the Cambridge Analytica decision
    violated the terms of an earlier settlement Facebook made with the Federal Trade Commission.

    1) Congress passed those sanctions by a near unanimous vote, ORDERING the president to implement the sanctions, which he dragged his feet doing, perfectly consistent with my theory, and then imposed some very very poorly designed sanctions, again, perfectly consistent with my theory.

    2) couldn't find anything Trump said about Putin that wasn't -suckingly obsequious, could you?

    Remember he said he wouldn't impose the sanctions, because just the threat of the sanctions was enough.

    Trash is totally Pootin's boy toy, 100% compromised. Besides the many $100Ms laundered for Russian mafiya, $1B Russian money loaned/laundered through corrupt Deutsche Bank / Kennedy's son, I bet Pootin has the pee tapes and Trash knows he has them.

    Trash's perfect record of being pro-Pootin, pro-Russia says Trash is DEFENDING himself as much as he is repaying Pootin for keeping Trash org afloat.

    Senate panel backs intelligence agencies on Russia-Trump conclusions

    A Senate Intelligence Committee report released on Tuesday supports three U.S. intelligence agencies’ conclusion that

    Russia tried to help Donald Trump win the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

    The Republican-led committee’s finding suggests the panel continues to conduct a bipartisan inquiry into the issue amid political rancor between Republicans and Democrats on allegations that Moscow interfered in the election.

    “As numerous intelligence and national security officials in the Trump administration have since unanimously re-affirmed,

    the (Intelligence Community Assessment’s) findings were accurate and on point,”

    said committee Vice Chairman Mark Warner, a Democrat.


    “The Russian effort was extensive and sophisticated, and its goals were

    to undermine public faith in the democratic process,

    to hurt Secretary Clinton (Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton) and

    to help Donald Trump,”


    Warner said.
