Trump/Russia/SDNY investigation


Righto........all you US detectives out there.

Ahmad...speciality high profile terrorism cases. Has worked on the Flynn (National Security Adviser) case for Mueller. No known others so this could be a Flynn extension.

Dreeben....speciality criminal and oral arguments before the Supreme Court. Handling pretrial litigation for Mueller. Has worked on Manafort, Stone, Russian Nationals and Trump for Mueller.

So, if these two were at the DC court together who was their target likely to be?

Dreeben seems to make perfect sense if Trump is the subject of the subpoena. Nobody is more qualified to argue before the SCOTUS; the legality of a sitting POTUS being indicted.


I think that one argument that is likely to be used (and it’s one that will destroy Trump’s tiny mind), is that a President can absolutely be indicted for crimes he committed during their election bid as the crimes invalidate the Presidency. Otherwise, it just means that any candidate can commit as many crimes as they want during the election, they just have to make sure they win it for immunity.
 
But what would Z Ahmed be doing there instead of one of the others (Rhee, Quarles, Zelinsky and Goldstein) who worked on Trump?

Oh feck. It could be Assange related. Would explain Ahmed’s role.
 
Trump will be schitting it now. Schiff will gleefully make him eat all that Twitter schitt he gave out.
 


This interview is definitely going to be in the movie. :drool: It's the first time someone from the inner circle confirms that Trump is lying about Russia. Not that we didn't know that he was lying already, but it's still so very nice to hear the words out loud from a guy who knows all the juicy details.
 
Cohen looking rough as feck nowadays. Almost feel a little bad for him... Almost.

Yeah, for what it's worth... that's very much a tactic of his defence. It helps with the whole "remorse" act and is intended to provoke exactly the sort of empathy you have just shown in the hope that the public accept him back into society when all is said and done and judges/parole officers are more lenient on him.

Yeah that's true. Still thou, looks like he's lost weight and been chasing the dragon.

I’m now wondering if it was Pence. He was completely out of the discussion on the wall the other day. Not listening, not doing his usual nodding, not doing anything and almost appearing to be quietly calming himself. Definitely seemed to be distracted by something serious. Plus last week Trump was wondering whether or not he was loyal.
 
The senate report on Russian election interference got leaked to NYT

Of 81 Facebook pages created by the Internet Research Agency in the Senate’s data, 30 targeted African-American audiences, amassing 1.2 million followers, the report finds. By comparison, 25 pages targeted the political right and drew 1.4 million followers. Just seven pages focused on the political left, drawing 689,045 followers.

While the right-wing pages promoted Mr. Trump’s candidacy, the left-wing pages scorned Mrs. Clinton while promoting Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate. The voter suppression effort was focused particularly on Sanders supporters and African-Americans, urging them to shun Mrs. Clinton in the general election and either vote for Ms. Stein or stay home.

Feck me, under protest? He's not only perverting the course of justice, he's also trying to incite public disorder too.

Huckabee Sanders: We know Flynn was ambushed by the FBI in his interview process at the White House.

Flynn: I wasn't ambushed by the FBI in the interview process at the White House.

Also Huckabee Sanders: I want to be remembered as transparent and honest.
 
Judge Emmet Sullivan, in charge of sentencing Flynn, spent around 15 minutes lambasting Trump’s former national security adviser, telling Flynn that “arguably, you sold your country out” and expressing “disgust” and “disdain”, at his offences.

“You were an unregistered agent of a foreign country while serving as the National Security Adviser to the president of the United States,” Vox reporter Andrew Prokop quoted Sullivan as saying.

“Arguably this undermines everything this flag over here stands for.”


Pretty strong stuff that.
