Trump/Russia/SDNY investigation



Wow! I saw this last night but didn't post it because it wasn't from a credible source, now the WaPo have picked it up as well. Dn this could be good. :lol:

If anything it sure is intriguing and could be hilarious.


So this chick is the same girl from this fun video someone on here linked to a bit ago:



She got in hot water for instagramming the wrong things while hanging around with Oleg Deripaska, Manafort's Russian bum-chum.

She's still instagramming from the Thai jail... Some journo gave her a phone. Says Russia told Thai immigration to arrest her, says she'll be killed if handed over.

I think Manafort's strategy is to either:

a - wait for Trump to fire Mueller and be let off that way (he would still have to face state level charges)
b - wait for a Trump pardon (low percentage as he would still face charges at the state level)
c - win his actual court case (also low percentage as federal prosecutors have about a 90-95% conviction rate)

If a and b don't happen and he winds up getting convicted, then he will likely still be offered to flip for a lesser sentence.

The short version of all of this is that Manafort will not be able to avoid a lengthy jail sentence without flipping against Trump.

seriously how can Trump fire Mueller? It would be an admission of guilt.
 
Like any good prosecutor Mueller wouldn't be asking questions he doesn't already know the answer to. He isn't asking Trump about how much he knew about the hacking of the emails because he's genuinely not sure whether he knew anything or not.

He keeps daring the GOP Congress to use their power to stop him and they, so far, have refused to do anything. See the veto-proof Russia sanctions they passed. The administration has essentially just ignore them and there's no response. This would be the biggest test of their resolve but at the end of the day, if there isn't enough to gain from publicly rebuking him, they won't do it. And he's shown he'll be an absolute child when it comes to dealing with anyone who goes against him. There's no principle involved here, just self-preservation.
 
Personally I would rather keep the orange buffoon for three more years than have Pence in the WH. Perfect situation would be a crushing defeat in the 2018 elections for the GOP and two years of utter frustration for Trump.

Having said that seeing him come crashing down as a result of the Muller investigation would be sweet.
Make him a lame duck president in November. Imagine his meltdown if everyone collectively called him the lame duck for 2 years. Also, the Dems must have as many investigations in to trump inc as the repugs did for Clinton and Bengahzi.

Twitter will have to have a separate new server just to service POTUS.

Let's get #DonaldtheLameDuck or something like that trending

Only if congress also pass a measure restricting his power to conduct war. He's a malignant narcissist, if you make him feel humiliated, his reaction could be vicious and irrational.

This would be a good start, espeically if you hear their additional reasoning about the nature of US involvement (no Congressional authorisation) :)
It's not going to win, of course. 3 sponsors - Bernie, Murphy, and (Republican) Lee.
 
If Nunes goes to prison I’m going to be relentless in my quest to become pen pals with him and post the results in here.

Unbelievably, he's still incredibly popular in his district, so prison may be the only way to get rid of him. Although, if the Dems retake the House in Nov, I'm going relish Schiff taking charge of the committee and making Devin his little 2nd class bitch.

I think I’d rather the scenario where he gets re-elected and Schiff is majority leader. Serving subpoenas left right and centre and feck all Nunes can do about it.
 


Guessing this then ties in anyone aiding the hackers?
