If you watch 'Get Me Roger Stone' it goes into detail about how Stone observed Ross Perot getting enough votes to allow Clinton to beat Bush in 1992. I'm sure he thought that a third party could help siphon just enough votes from Clinton to make a Trump win possible.

@Eboue must feel used.
i didnt vote for her you tool
Who did you vote for?
I threw away my vote because none of the candidates represented me to a degree that I willing to support them.
You don't have to go back that far. Let's just recall Nader essentially delivering Florida to Bush in 2000.
Things have gone relatively quiet since the Cohen raid and even that was delegated by Mueller.
I can’t help but think that the next big development is going to be a very big development. It might not be for a little while but I think Mueller and co know how sensitive the situation is now and it’s only really worth going public with stuff if it’s endgame.

I'm expecting an indictment at some point in the very near future. They are going to have to play their cards right and whip up some state level charges so that Trump doesn't go apoplectic and attempt to pardon him.
Yeah with regards to Cohen we could see indictments soon but I think charges directly related to the Russia investigation will be further away. As I said, Cohen has been passed over to the southern district. They might offer him a deal if he offers anything useful but it seems that the indictments likely to be brought against him will be standard fraud charges to begin with.
Wtf, Fedor Emelianenko is now mixed up in this business somehow?https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news...inks-to-trump-cohen?__twitter_impression=true

WTF
I guess they’re either checking every single avenue (and it would make sense in this case considering the low degree of seperation) or a Russian MMA fighter is drumming up some easy publicity for himself. I’m sure it’s not illegal to make those claims and it’s not like the FBI would come out and dispute it otherwise they’d set a precedent and have to dispute or confirm similar claims in the future.

Didn't Nadar hurt Gore in 2000?
Mueller wouldn't question anyone unless he knew something that he was attempting to corroborate imo.
Ah you basically voted for Trump then
Yeah it's illegal
So it's just another 'yeah look at what they're doing illegally and we're totally not going to do anything about it' thing from Trumpworld.
Pretty much, yes.
Though, in the end, you hope that the attention some journalists draw to these things do end up being included in the ongoing investigations. So far, from what we've seen, that does seem to be the case and hopefully it's an easily-provable point of leverage that can be used to compel them to confess to the worst of it.
If not, we're all fecked.
We can only hope that there is work going on in the background to investigate this stuff properly, but when the source is a "a source tells us" tweet by ABC, we actually have no reason to believe it and no agency has any real reason to look into it.
Not really, no. The article pretty clearly lays out what the FEC deems not campaign related payments:
So, the question obviously is, what was the money used for? Now the reporter doesn't know, but sources familiar with the story claim something:
And if it were to be the Stormy Daniels case there is imo a decent enough argument to claim that the expense would not exist if it weren't for Trump being president. Who would care about a porn star story involving the guy that seemingly was involved with something similar every other year before?
I have only quick-read the article once but after the above we are only left with one issue: Cohen said he was not involved with the Trump campaign. Now he got paid for doing work for them? Looks like he's stuck there but it can still be twisted to at least look borderline okay if they claim the Trump campaign hired that firm he worked for as a partner but not actually himself. Not sure how that would go down with the media - open for comments - otherwise he can still just not comment and who is going to care about another lie (he told it reporters right, not the FBI?).
CNN discussing the Trump - Pecker alliance.
Everything setup to allow Trump to ramble endlessly.
Saw some reasonable theories re: this on Twitter. Obviously it was Team Trump doing the leaking, so the question would be why. Would make sense for it and the reaction to it to be used to drive Trump's actions. The public would likely see the breath of the questions and their reaction would convince Trump to not sit down for the interview. Also, all the questions are regarding already known topics - none of this would be on information that Mueller has undoubtedly uncovered and not made public. So that point would likely be made clear to Trump through the media coverage and he'd back off his desire to sit down with Mueller.
I'd expect him to still stay true to type and the fireworks happen soon

The pundits are speculating the leak came from someone on Trump's legal team to get Trump's attention.
Trump is in a very difficult position. There is literally a zero percent chance he wouldn't incriminate himself further, many times over, if he were left in a room with Mueller's interrogators.
Lordy I hope there are tapes of the interview.
Yeah, let’s have them made public.
Surely this can't be real, what kind of attorney would ask about feelings and opinions?Everything setup to allow Trump to ramble endlessly.
It's all about establishing intent with regards to obstruction of justice so trump explaning his feelings and opinions with regards to certain events are very much relevant. Also it's likely not an exhaustive list of questions and each one may well lead to a series of follow on questions, if you felt or believed this then why did you do later do that sort of thing I would imagine.
Trump would be bored within a minute, and God knows what his responses would be like then.
Not a chance he'll ever be interviewed.
I bet trump leaked them
