Flynn in major trouble for speaking to Russia about sanctions

[ElNono]

we will see, if those goes en banc.

Does executive privilege block Congress from investigating the Exec for crimes?

It prevents Congress from issuing subpoenas to officials that were involved in deliberations with the Executive.

This would be much easier if there was a willing whistleblower.

‘What does Putin have on him?’

Shock after Trump gives Russia a pass on Alexei Navalny poisoning



Trump was asked about the poisoning on Friday against the backdrop of the alleged pattern of Vladimir Putin poisoning political opponents.

But Trump refused to condemn the attack or hold Putin to account.

“Once again Trump passes on a chance to hold Russia accountable. What does Putin have on him?” CNN analyst Joe Lockhart asked.

“We haven’t had any proof yet, but I will take a look,” President Trump says regarding the poisoning of the Russian opposition leader.

Then he says he doesn’t know why people are always talking about Russia instead of China

"It is interesting that everybody is always mentioning Russia ...

but I think China probably at this point is a nation you should be talking about" --

"But I do get along with President Putin. But I've been tougher on Russia than anybody else by far." -- Trump is totally incoherent

"I get along with President Putin" is the best response Trump can come up with.

complete with “Georgian feasts,” a “discotheque,” and maybe a strip club—

drew scrutiny from senators investigating Trump’s Russia ties.

Trash is the CLASSIC sociopathic bully: kick down, suck up

Michael Cohen describes alleged episodes of racism and says president likes how Putin runs Russia

Trump made “overt and covert attempts to get Russia to interfere in the 2016 election”

Cohen lays out an alarming portrait of the constellation of characters orbiting around Trump,

likening the arrangement to the mafia and calling himself “one of Trump’s bad guys.”

He describes the president, meanwhile, as
“a cheat,
a liar,
a fraud,
a bully,
a racist,
a predator,
a con man.”

his “hatred and contempt” of his predecessor, Barack Obama,

the cause behind Trump’s admiration of Russian President Vladimir Putin is simpler than many of his critics assume.

Above all, he writes, Trump loves money —

and he wrongly identified Putin as “the richest man in the world by a multiple.”

Trump loved Putin, Cohen wrote, because

the Russian leader had the ability

“to take over an entire nation and run it like it was his personal company —

like the Trump Organization, in fact.”

Trump’s sycophantic praise of the Russian leader

during the 2016 campaign began as a way to suck up and ensure access to the oligarch’s money after he lost the election.

s Trump came to understand that Putin’s hatred of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, dating to her support for the 2011 protest movement in Russia, could also help Trump amass more power in the United States.

“What appeared to be collusion was really

a confluence of shared interests in harming Hillary Clinton

in any way possible,

up to and including interfering in the American election —

a subject that caused Trump precisely zero unease,”

another reason that Trump consistently praised Putin was to fulfill his long-held desire to slap his name on a proposed Trump Tower project in Moscow.

The plan, Cohen adds, was to give the penthouse apartment to the Russian president for free, in part “as a way to suck up to Putin.

“The whole idea of patriotism and treason became irrelevant in his mind,” Cohen writes.

“Trump was using the campaign to make money for himself: of course he was.”
Cohen says the whole family was aware of the project,

even as candidate Trump publicly said he had no ties to Russia.

When Cohen countered that perhaps Weisselberg should lay out the money himself, “Weisselberg went white as a sheet — like he’d seen a ghost,”

Cohen asserts that Trump would get a tax break and legal services along with the money — meaning he would actually come out financially ahead for paying off the adult-film star.

, Trump was dismissive of minorities, describing them as “not my people.” “I will never get the Hispanic vote,” Cohen recounts Trump claiming. “Like the blacks, they’re too stupid to vote for Trump.”

Trump’s obsessive hatred of Obama, including claiming that the only reason the former president got into Columbia University and Harvard Law School was because of “f---ing affirmative action.”

Trump’s “low opinion of all black folks.”

“Tell me one country run by a black person that isn’t a s---hole. They are all complete f---ing toilets.”

Trump held a meeting at Trump Tower with prominent evangelical leaders, where they laid their hands on him in prayer.

Afterward, Trump allegedly said:

“Can you believe that bullst? Can you believe people believe that bull ?”

“The cosmic joke was that

Trump convinced a vast swathe of working-class white folks in the Midwest that he cared about their well-being,” Cohen writes.

“The truth was that he couldn’t care less.”

commenting on Cohen’s then-15-year-old daughter as she finished up a tennis lesson:

“Look at that piece of ass,” Trump said, according to Cohen.

“I would love some of that.” Trash clearly ed Epstein's little s

Is it a coincidence that Moscow is peddling the same lies as the Trump campaign?



the nine conspiracy theories the president is continuously peddling.

“Trump has been a conspiracy theorist for years.”

but never before has he pushed so many at one time.

Two of them align completely with disinformation campaigns coming out of Moscow.

For example, we learned that the

Russian government began promoting the lies about mail-in ballots as early as last March.

Russia has sought to “amplify” concerns over the integrity of U.S. elections by

promoting allegations that mail-in voting will lead to widespread fraud,

the Department of Homeland Security’s intelligence branch issued the warning on Thursday to federal and state law enforcement partners after finding with

“high confidence” that “Russian malign influence actors” have targeted the absentee voting process “by spreading disinformation” since at least March.

where the conspiracy theory originated—in the Kremlin or the White House.

the Department of Homeland Security hid a report about how Moscow was promoting the idea that Biden is mentally unfit.

Their excuse for not sharing that information is that the intelligence report was “poorly written and thinly sourced.”

their data was incredibly solid.

The report cites posts by Russian state media outlets RT and Sputnik about Biden’s mental health between September 2019 and May 2020.

In March, a Russian proxy website “refuted media claims that

the candidate’s gaffes are the result of a stutter,

instead arguing these verbal miscues are symptoms of dementia,” the bulletin said.

if this disinformation campaign began in September 2019,

the attacks on Biden’s mental health seem to have started in Moscow and migrated to the Trump campaign.

, it is clear that both Putin and Trump are drawing on the same playbook.

Perhaps that’s just a coincidence.

But given this history, that is unlikely.
