And it Begins:Special Prosecutor To Investigate Trump And Russia

[ZonaBurgh]

Wake me when this is over. IMO Trump survives all of this hysteria and may even win a second term, although with the daily bashing he takes, I can't imagine why he would want to.

However, if Mueller, MSM, and those on the left cause him to unwillingly leave office, I fear the republic will be lost, because the next person in office will be treated in kind.

Precedent will be set and will be the new normal.

By all means Hamster, please release the report of the final findings.

Here is your final report.......After the Mid-Terms, the DOJ house cleaning starts, and Mueller knows his time is short.

Alan Dershowitz: Michael Cohen ‘Pleading Guilty to a Crime that Doesn’t Exist


Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s former attorney, is “pleading guilty to a crime that doesn’t exist” to further Democrats’ plans to impeach the president.

“I don’t think there’s an impeachable offense,” said Dershowitz. “I believe you need to have a specific crime — treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors — and none of the things that [Michael] Cohen pleaded guilty to would rise to that level or even come close to it. What Cohen pleaded guilty to may not even be a crime, the part about the election campaign laws.”

https://www.breitbart.com/radio/201...ty-crime-doesnt-exist-democrats-target-trump/

“What you are seeing and hearing is not what’s happening”
“Truth is not truth”
“The accused crime doesn’t exist”

Enough with the Orwellian nonsense.

If you can find an example where Dershowitz argued someone actually was guilty of a crime, I’d be impressed.

This is what the dunces on the left don't get. They think that things will go back to pre-Trump normal. They are woefully wrong.

Jordan Peterson tries to warn this panel of dimwits.

LOL sad that you would rather have that happen than an investigation by a republican trying to do the job he was appointed to do by another republican be carried out appropriately in a timely matter. You know, like Bill Clinton's was. Did you want that one cut short? But by all means, keep undermining and criminalizing the DOJ, FBI and all other agencies that don't say what you like and blaming them for the all the bad that's happening. Cause trump is squeaky clean since he's surrounded himself with only the finest people of course.

 

[IndySteel]

LMAO! Sessions is a putz.

“Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations.” Jeff, this is GREAT, what everyone wants, so look into all of the corruption on the “other side” including deleted Emails, Comey lies & leaks, Mueller conflicts, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr……

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 24, 2018

….FISA abuse, Christopher Steele & his phony and corrupt Dossier, the Clinton Foundation, illegal surveillance of Trump Campaign, Russian collusion by Dems – and so much more. Open up the papers & documents without redaction? Come on Jeff, you can do it, the country is waiting!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 24, 2018

Ex-NSA contractor to spend 63 months in jail over “classified” information. Gee, this is “small potatoes” compared to what Hillary Clinton did! So unfair Jeff, Double Standard.

Never said Trump was sqeaky clean. I am saying that this is a fraudulent investigation, based on lies and corruption, designed to take down the President.

Maybe you haven't heard about all of the firings/demotions at the DOJ and FBI, that had nothing to do with Trump, but had everything to do with wrongdoing. They have done a pretty good job of undermining and criminalizing themselves. Trump is just pointing out what the Pravda MSM doesn't.

A fraudulent investigation that's working like peeling an onion, one layer at a time. From Wikipedia the origin of the Mueller investigation:

Origin and powers
A January 2017 assessment by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) stated that Russian leadership favored presidential candidate Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, and that Russian president Vladimir Putin personally ordered an "influence campaign" to harm Clinton's electoral chances and "undermine public faith in the US democratic process."[25]:7 It is alleged that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election in order to increase political instability in the United States and to damage Clinton's presidential campaign by bolstering the candidacies of Trump, Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein.[26][27]

This investigation didn't start with the investigation of trump, it was a Russian interference investigation, something we should all want to know about. He goes out of his way every single day to undermine this investigation instead of letting it play out. That doesn't look or sound like an innocent person. If anyone else did that, they'd be crucified, i.e. Hillary, Obama, everyone except trump, who brings on all his problems himself with his lies. I know exactly what's going on with the DOJ and their issues (did you like the anti-Hillary Comey before his "Lord I hope he has tapes"). I also know that trump uses that and bolsters it to distract from his own issues, the ones he creates, not the media, not the democrats, him himself. I listen to his mouth, read his words, he's his own fake news. I need nothing more to know what he is other than him himself. But you don't care about that...you just want to blame everyone else and look the other way, just like him. I know if this were me, I'd cooperate any way I can, bring on a subpoena, ask for interviews, whatever. I certainly wouldn't be worried about a perjury trap. If I were truthful that is. But hey, that's just me. I don't have a criminal mind, like some. I'm not trying to change your mind just like you won't change mine, but if you were fine with anyone else being investigated for whatever reason, there should be no problem if it's a "nothingburger".

CNN Finds Out Trump Democrats in PA Still Support Him

CNN talks to some Trump Democrats in Pennsylvania and finds out they continue to support President Trump! In fact, they call the whole Cohen mess “a sideshow.”

Another couple helpfully reminds CNN that the investigation was supposed to be about “Russian Collusion"

You win for cramming the most innuendo and crap ever in one post. If the Russians favored Trump so what? If the Chinese favored Hillary so what?

Obama favored Netanyahu's opponent and funneled in money to help defeat him. Talk about undermining an election.

Name the ways Trump is "undermining" the investigation? His tweets? Who has he fired?

What "issues" has he created?

Trump says and acts the way he does...granted it's childish at times... because of the 24/7 harping by the unrelenting hateful leftwing media creating this illusion you people eat up as truth while you pretend to be objective....Your feeble minds fill up with the idea that "surely Trump has done something wrong", leaving no room up there for anything else.

His tweets are not defensive reactions trying to cover his guilt. Get a clue.

No one can change your mind because you're so blinded by hate.

 

[Stewey]

In case you libtards missed this...and you did.

 

[Stewey]

I have taken this article and reversed the players. Changes in CAPS

Clinton changed to Trump...Trump changed to Clinton.

DNC to RNC..

If the roles were reversed, still nothing to see here? No big deal?

You libtards wish Trump played this role because he wouldn't of lasted 6 months in office.
So does Mueller...eazy peazy.

On Oct. 24 the Washington Post, of all publications, reported that the TRUMP presidential campaign and the REPUBLICAN National Committee paid the opposition-research firm Fusion GPS to dig up all the dirt it could find on Hildebeest Clinton.


As we noted last month, beginning in April 2016, a TRUMP attorney, Mark Elias of Seattle-based Perkins Coie, paid Fusion GPS for the opposition CLINTON research. For the record, Elias worked with former White House Counsel Robert Bauer, who was also a partner at Perkins-Coie, known for its REPUBLICAN Party ties.

From June 2015 to December 2016, Perkins Coie took in $5.4 million from the RNC and a whopping $12.4 million from the TRUMP campaign as "legal fees." Perkins Coie's Elias secretly paid Fusion GPS for its "research" from the legal fees that TRUMP and the RNC forked over.

Funded to the hilt, Fusion GPS hired a former British spy named Christopher Steele, who previously headed British intelligence agency MI-6's Russian desk, ultimately paying him $168,000. Using his many Russian contacts, Steele put together a CLINTON dossier filled with rumors, innuendos and some outright lies — the kind of thing that could be incredibly damaging to CLINTON in a last-minute campaign blitz.
All of this is bad enough. None of it was disclosed in Federal Election Commission filings as required by law, so there is a very sound basis for legal action.
And somehow the dubious dossier made its way into the hands of both the media and the FBI, raising the obvious question: Did the FBI use essentially a political document funded by the REPUBLICANS to seek special surveillance from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on officials in the CLINTON campaign? Is that what started the whole "CLINTON collusion with Russia" ball rolling? If so, it's likely a major crime has been committed, one that would dwarf Watergate in its dimensions.

But it goes even deeper than that.
While the media shriek about the CLINTON campaign's alleged Russia ties, the REPUBLICAN Party in general and the TRUMP campaign in specific had very clear links to nefarious Russian figures, both inside and outside of Vladimir Putin's government.

Going back to the very beginnings of the Obama administration, Russian leader Vladimir Putin made extraordinary efforts to get a dominant foothold in the U.S. nuclear industry. Using the Russian state-owned nuclear monopoly Rosatom, Putin engaged in a campaign of "bribery, extortion, (and) money laundering" in his efforts to acquire Uranium One, a Canadian-based nuclear materials company that controls 20% of all U.S. domestic uranium supplies, according to Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Obama's Justice Department, then under Eric Holder, knew about this but did nothing about it. And, despite knowing about Russia's illegal activities, when the Rosatom bid to take over Uranium One came up for a vote, the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment (CFIUS) approved it in 2010. Then-Secretary of State TRUMP, a member of the CFIUS board, voted in favor of the deal. So did Holder.

If that sounds funny, it should. Because it turns out that the TRUMP Foundation, the global "charity" run by TRUMP JR., had taken in an estimated $145 million from Uranium One shareholders and executives, mostly around the time the deal was being approved.

The Justice Department waited until 2014, after TRUMPS departure from office, to do anything about the Russian criminal activity. And details of the Uranium One deal didn't even emerge until 2015, after Holder left office. It reeks of quid-pro-quo double-dealing that involved TRUMP
using HIS powerful office of secretary of state to enrich HIS own private foundation and family.

 

[Stewey]

Where did I say impeachment anywhere?? Sorry.

So does that mean you leftists will finally put to rest those bogus claims of Trump colluding with the Russians?

 

[IndySteel]

Here in Indiana, Mike Braun and Joe Donnelly have been running commercials against each other. They are trying to influence the election! How dare they! *aghast*

 

[Stewey]

So lets just pit this out there.....

The DOJ literally went into an investigation with what is known to be unconfirmed unvetted and in some parts factually false information. This led to warrents that led to an investigation into collusion that led to crimes being uncovered that had no real correlation to the investigation and now plea deals from those unrelated crimes may incriminate the president... all stemming from a political agenda piece meant to tear down a candidate and influence an election that was gathered by a known foreign spy and paid for by a political party ..... but thats ok cause the ends justify the means....unless of course you are the other party... cause even if they looked into if a foriegn agent having factual dirt on the other candidate or the party actually proven to be rigging an election ... that’s unacceptable because the ends doesn’t justify the exact same means... cause hypocrisy is prevalent here...


All of the centrist news sites ( non fox or cnn politically charged propaganda news sites) are worried more about what means are being used here... we are stretching into constitutionally questionable territory and its going to divide the country worse because I cannot see any end here that doesn’t infuriate 30-40% of the population... all this to maybe win a few seats in the house or senate...

Again if the Steele dossier is proven false, everything that comes afterward can probably get thrown out...

That's really not the beginning.

This investigation started because Donald J Trump had the audacity to win an election.
Period.

Look in the mirror friend. I'm not the one who supports a man who spews hate, LIES and intolerance everyday. Whatever else you say are words directly out of trump's mouth and the normal talking points. Yawn.

Ooops edited to add the word lies, the most important word of all, at least in trumpland.

 

[83fan]

When the investigation ends and the results are disclosed.

I think we are really close to that now.....turn out the lights this party is DEFINITELY over........



A comment from that video:

Trump months ago on air force one "I don't know anything about the payments or who he got the money from you have to ask Cohen" Trump on Fox news yesterday "I made the payments"

 

[hamster]

Elfie, first of all, your Young Turd videos are unwatchable because they are partisan hacks, and are almost never right. Save your the effort, no one watches them. Same wit the kid in Mom's basement.

Secondly, making a meme image larger doesn't make it more correct.

Thirdly, unless the President is convicted of a crime, or is impeached, it is not game over. As a matter of fact, it is far from game over. Far from it.

Big memes. LOL. That is a good one.

 

[SteelChip]

When the investigation ends and the results are disclosed.

I don't know if this has been posted here before but it is an interesting chain of facts that remains a mystery why it has not resulted in prosecutions. Our modern day Democrats have been behaving badly for quite some time and have even put a Chicago crime syndicate twist to their style. But somehow they remain free and are still on the attack.....amazing

Here's what it looks like when all the pieces are sewn together. It smells like conspiracy and treason.

From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation. A Grand Jury had been empanelled. Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”.
Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared.

Hmmm, now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out.

Guess who took over this investigation in 2002? Bet you can’t guess. None other than James Comey. Now, that’s interesting, isn’t it?

Guess who was transferred in to the Internal Revenue Service to run the Tax Exemption Branch of the IRS?

Your friend and mine, Lois Lerner.

It gets better, but this is all just a series of strange coincidences, right?

Guess who ran the Tax Division inside the Department of Injustice from 2001 to 2005?

No other than the Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Rod Rosenstein.

Guess who was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during this time frame? ....yep Robert Mueller.

What do all four casting characters have in common?

They all were briefed and/or were front line investigators into the Clinton Foundation Investigation.

Now that’s just a coincidence, right?

Let’s fast forward to 2009......James Comey leaves the Justice Department to go and cash-in at Lockheed Martin. Hillary Clinton is running the State Department, on her own personal email server by the way. The Uranium One “issue” comes to the attention of the Hillary. Like all good public servants do, you know looking out for America’s best interest, she decides to support the decision and approve the sale of 20% of US Uranium to no other than, the Russians. Now you would think that this is a fairly straight up deal, except it wasn’t, the People got absolutely nothing out of it. However, prior to the sales approval, no other than Bill Clinton goes to Moscow, gets paid 500K for a one hour speech then meets with Vladimir Putin at his home for a few hours.

Ok, no big deal right?

Well, not so fast, the FBI had a mole inside the money laundering and bribery scheme. Guess who was the FBI Director during this time frame?

Yep, Robert Mueller.

He even delivered a Uranium Sample to Moscow in 2009.

Guess who was handling that case within the Justice Department out of the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland?

No other than, Rod Rosenstein.

Guess what happened to the informant? The Department of Justice placed a GAG order on him and threatened to lock him up if he spoke out about it. How does 20% of the most strategic asset of the United States of America end up in Russian hands when the FBI has an informant, a mole providing inside information to the FBI on the criminal enterprise?

Guess what happened soon after the sale was approved? ~145 million dollars in “donations” made their way into the Clinton Foundation from entities directly connected to the Uranium One deal.

Guess who was still at the Internal Revenue Service working the Charitable Division? Non other than, Lois Lerner.

Ok, that’s all just another series of coincidences, right?

Let’s fast forward to 2015.

Due to a series of tragic events in Benghazi and after the 9 “investigations” the House, Senate and at State Department, Trey Gowdy who was running the 10th investigation as Chairman of the Select Committee on Benghazi discovers that the Hillary ran the State Department on an unclassified, unauthorized, outlaw personal email server. He also discovered that none of those emails had been turned over when she departed her “Public Service” as Secretary of State which was required by law. He also discovered that there was Top Secret information contained within her personally archived email. Sparing you the State Departments cover up, the nostrums they floated, the delay tactics that were employed and the outright lies that were spewed forth from the necks of the Kerry State Department, we shall leave it with this…… they did everything humanly possible to cover for Hillary.

Guess who became FBI Director in 2013? Guess who secured 17 no bid contracts for his employer (Lockheed Martin) with the State Department and was rewarded with a six million dollar thank you present when he departed his employer?

Non other than James Comey.

Amazing how all those no-bids just went right through at State, huh? Now he is the FBI Director in charge of the “Clinton Email Investigation” after of course his FBI Investigates the Lois Lerner “Matter” at the Internal Revenue Service and exonerates her.

Nope.... couldn’t find any crimes there.

Can you guess what happened next?

In April 2016, James Comey drafts an exoneration letter of Hillary Clinton, meanwhile the DOJ is handing out immunity deals like candy. They didn’t even convene a Grand Jury.

Like a lightning bolt of statistical impossibility, like a miracle from God himself, like the true “Gangsta” Comey is, James steps out into the cameras of an awaiting press conference on July the 8th of 2016, and exonerates the Hillary from any wrongdoing.

Can you see the pattern?

It goes on and on, Rosenstein becomes Asst. Attorney General, Comey gets fired based upon a letter by Rosenstein, Comey leaks government information to the press, Mueller is assigned to the Russian Investigation scam by Rosenstein to provide cover for decades of malfeasance within the FBI and DOJ and the story continues.

FISA Abuse, political espionage..... pick a crime, any crime, chances are...... this group and a few others did it.

All the same players. All compromised and conflicted

And, see the person that is the common denominator to all the crimes above and still doing her evil escape legal maneuvers at the top of the 3 Letter USA Agencies? Yep, that would be Hillary Clinton.

 

[SteelChip]

Oh wait...there's more.

WHO IS LISA BARSOOMIAN?

Let’s learn a little about Mrs. Lisa H. Barsoomian’s background.

Lisa H. Barsoomian, a US Attorney that graduated from Georgetown Law, is a protege of James Comey and Robert Mueller.

Barsoomian, with her boss R. Craig Lawrence, represented Bill Clinton in 1998.

She also represented:

Robert Mueller three times;

James Comey five times;

Barack Obama 45 times;

Kathleen Sebelius 56 times;

Bill Clinton 40 times; and

Hillary Clinton 17 times.

Between 1998 and 2017, Barsoomian herself represented the FBI at least five times.

You may be saying to yourself, OK, who cares? Who cares about the work history of this Barsoomian woman?

Apparently someone does, because someone out there cares so much that they’ve “purged” all Barsoomian court documents for her Clinton representation in Hamburg vs. Clinton in 1998 and its appeal in 1999 from the DC District and Appeals Court dockets (?). Someone out there cares so much that the internet has been “purged” of all information pertaining to Barsoomian.

Historically, this indicates that the individual is a protected CIA operative. Additionally, Lisa Barsoomian has specialized in opposing Freedom of Information Act requests on behalf of the intelligence community. And, although Barsoomian has been involved in hundreds of cases representing the DC Office of the US Attorney, her email address is Lisa Barsoomian at NIH gov. The NIH stands for National Institutes of Health.

This is a tactic routinely used by the CIA to protect an operative by using another government organization to shield their activities. It’s a cover, so no big deal right? I mean what does one more attorney with ties to the US intelligence community really matter? It deals with Trump and his recent tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum imports, the border wall, DACA, everything coming out of California, the Uni-party unrelenting opposition to President Trump, the Clapper leaks, the Comey leaks, Attorney General Jeff Sessions recusal and subsequent 14 month nap with occasional forays into the marijuana legalization mix …. and last but not least Mueller’s never-ending investigation into collusion between the Trump team and the Russians.

Why does Barsoomian, CIA operative, merit any mention?

BECAUSE….

She is Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s WIFE….That’s why!!

But in the meantime we must listen to the non stop blathering of the Left about Trump..
