Elephants and Jackasses...

Wait.... so you think all this is coincidental or circumstantial? Are you familiar with the phrase “willful ignorance”?

 

Willfully ignorant of what evidence? To be clear, the theories you continually pull out of your ass do not count as evidence.

 

That sound you hear is trump's attorneys running for the door

Yeah yeah yeah, I know, MotherJones, but regardless of the source, the article contains trump's tweet which clearly violates witness tampering laws, as well as the responses to it.

 

Well, a conservative author filed a criminal complaint against Mueller. Fox news is running with the story, but it doesn't actually help Trump.

And then it gets interesting.

As to this conservative author's background, it's uhhh.... come on, you know.

Corsi is a crazy right wing journalist, not someone intimately involved with the campaign. It suggests the Trump campaign was actively seeking info on the wikileaks. Someone like Corsi being centered around a collusion plot seems far fetched. At least, I can't see Russia wanting to involve someone like that. Would Trump want to bring in a nut job like that though? It's a little more conceivable.

 

Is Corsi the same guy who hired a lawyer who once sued on behalf of "all police officers, Caucasians and Jews?"

 

I have no idea, but I did take a look at the books he's authored, which include Where's the Birth Certificate? and another about the Bush administration trying to merge Canada, USA, and Mexico into one country, so I'm going to say yes.

 

Do you not see how this is what Trump's unilateral withdrawal from NAFTA is saving us all from? Why don't you libtards ever get it?!

 

On today's episode of "Trump's Cyber Security Advisor doesn't understand how autoparsing or top level domains work": https://twitter.com/RudyGiuliani/status/1070118915139923968

 

Reports coming out regarding the brief, that Mueller said Flynn has been of "substantial assistance" and is recommending no prison time.

That "substantial assistance" phrase would have had to be an understatement for him to get a recommendation of no jail. That, or Mueller is playing like hey everyone, you tell us everything we want to know too and you won't go to jail either..... I kinda think it's a combination of both.

*edit* link which includes a link to the actual memo

 

I mean theres gotta be nothing there right? If I can't see the words, that means they don't exist. And since WE don't get to see the evidence, that means it doesn't exist.

 

I'm personally getting a kick out of Roger Stone pleading the 5th, after how much trump famously loved to remind people during his rallies that pleading the 5th "basically means you're guilty" (his words).

 

Well there’s that but also, he really can’t plead the 5th in this situation. It’s just a stunt and a stall tactic. Stone is fucked.

 

You're making me hard as a rock.

 

Ok, since you're an expert in such matters without needing meaningless trivialities like details, remind me about Kavanaugh again? What is the nature of the Trump/Putin collusion plot? Did Trump agree to be hands off with the rest of Ukraine? Did Trump get a truckload of money from Russia? Did Trump ship Russia a truckload of money for helping him win the election? Was Cohen 'the fixer' negotiating the deal on a skyscraper where all the money was going to be laundered?

I agree, that memo is pretty significant. It's also almost entirely blacked out. Before I jump on the "shoot the traitor" bandwagon I want to see what the rest of it says. I want to see what Flynn and Cohen have to say. I want to see if Mueller and the Ecuadorian embassy are going to substantiate the alleged meeting between Manafort and Assange. I don't get why that thought process is so insane to some people.

 

Blind ignorance, is still ignorance.

 

It’s so insane because you feel that you are personally entitled to evidence of other ongoing criminal and possibly counter intelligence investigations.

The implications of the agreement speaks more than why we are being shown so little. A recommendation of no jail time after knowing he committed FARA violations, conspired against the United States by taking money to manipulate our foreign policy to be more beneficial to Turkey and Russia while being on the transition team and probably other stuff I’m forgetting is staggering. He met 19 times with the special counsel I think?

There’s some excellent analysts on Twitter and other places that break down the things being reported on and use other reputable sourced information and how it plays into this whole thing. At this point you have to purposely ignore everything right in front of your face to think this all could mean nothing.

If there was really nothing at all, they would have finished by now. Other previous special counsel investigations went on far longer and turned up almost nothing. This one is actually profitable.

 

Oh, really? Is blind love still love? Is the deep blue sea still the sea? Any other brilliant tidbits of wisdom to offer?

I certainly don't think it's nothing. The memo is a pretty big deal. One of, if not the most important developments in the case so far. The nitty gritty is in the blacked out sections, I'm sure, but the most telling is that Flynn is apparently providing information about the Trump campaign's dealings with Russia. That very well could mean the massive collusion scandal that's going to land Trump, Stone, and other administration officials into prison.

But the kicker is what form that information takes is going to have a huge impact on how all this shakes out. Is it going to look like the DNC funding the Steele document, which is shady, but not administration shattering, or is it going to be the skyscraper of money laundering? I feel like both would illicit the same reaction from most people, but they're very different things. Mueller will have to prove intent/quid pro quo with Russia. It can't just be digging up dirt on Hillary. Intent isn't very easy prove, which is why Mueller needs the witnesses (if the collusion case is true).

Going back to the witnesses, if Flynn was part of a treasonous coup is he going to get an offer of no jail time? It's possible. I personally don't think Mueller makes that deal. Maybe he wasn't part of the collusion plot itself, but knew just enough to lead Mueller in the right direction. If the collusion plot is true then what is it? What is Russia/Trump's end game? I mean, Trump wanted to win the election, but where was it supposed to go from there?

I've heard a lot about how soft Trump has been on Russia. That's not quite true.

I'm not saying that because Trump acted towards Russia it disproves the collusion plot. It could be just about money, or something he's supposed to do later in the presidency - I don't fucking know. This is pretty relevant to the whole issue of collusion, isn't it? Everyone is certain there's a plot without knowing what the plot is. Maybe Russia's endgame is just fucking with our politics and trying to make the country even more dysfunctional than it already was. I find that very plausible. I still don't think what information has come out has definitively determined that Trump wasn't doing opposition research, and the collusion plot doesn't exist. All three of these scenarios(including collusion) make sense to me given what we've seen so far.

It has nothing to do with entitlement. It has to do with determining guilt. Don't worry, I can promise I'm no where near important enough to be on the jury, but aren't these things essential to making that determination?

That said, if it turns out Trump is guilty, the American people are absolutely entitled to view the evidence, as they should be.

 

On its surface, the plot seems to be that Russia is a sanctioned country and even certain individuals are specifically under sanction there. Donald Trump wants business deals there. He can lift the sanctions on Russia, supposedly worth trillions to them. But he needs to be president to do that. He or someone in his camp relayed a promise to help. How do they help him become the president? By coordinating a massive cyber campaign in which not just democrats, but also republicans(as an insurance policy) get hacked and their information dispersed(Wikileaks and Assange with the help of people in the trump campaign). How else do they know so much about big email drops ahead of time? This also involves Cambridge analytica with the help of Facebook to coordinate a monster disinformation campaign to sow discord and take advantage of idiots(my dad and in-laws).

Trump wants nothing but money which is why he’s done nothing but profit off the office since taken office, and his kids have been running around pimping his name trying to close deals.

Additionally, Kushner has a massive white elephant on 5th Avenue and he needs a billion dollars(hi Saudi Arabia). So he’s been boy wonder running around the Middle East looking for cash under the guise of trying to solve all their crises. He went to Qatar who said no and suddenly, they underwent as massive blockade that really hurt them.

I think this goes very very deep and involves more than just Russia. It sounds like a conspiracy theory and would be if there hadn’t been literally dozens of articles reporting on all of this.
