And it Begins:Special Prosecutor To Investigate Trump And Russia

[oneforthebus]

No we're not, not by any measure. Look, you've asked for specific information time and time again. It's been out there for months on end, in the public domain, you weren't interested in looking it up or reading it. With today's two new revelations, I decided to post a condensed, summary article, do with it what you will.

I look up and read plenty, there is little in your article that I haven't seen before. I'm just able to discern actual facts from insinuations and unproven assertions that are twisted and stated as facts, something you apparently are not able to do. Maybe it's because you mostly read things from loony leftwing sources. It's warped your mind a bit. Maybe if I'm in the mood sometime I'll go line by line and point them out to you, but probably not. It's a waste of time because you just ignore anything that doesn't conform to your pre-drawn conclusions.

What's most amusing is the parts of that article that are pure fantasy, stated as facts, with no evidence whatsoever to back them up. And you post that here as some sort of serious piece of journalism. It's too bad you don't seem to know the difference so we can have intelligent discussions about the actual facts.

The Veselnitskaya indictment, if you're interested in any actual facts about it, has zero to do with Trump or the election or anyone in the Trump campaign.

“In furtherance of my commitment to cooperate and provide the American people with answers, I have accepted the invitation by Chairman Elijah Cummings to appear publicly on February 7,” Mr. Cohen said in a statement. “I look forward to having the privilege of being afforded a platform with which to give a full and credible account of the events which have transpired.”

And on an important note:

It was not immediately clear whether prosecutors in New York or for Mr. Mueller would ask Mr. Cohen to keep from discussing topics still under investigation. Nor was it clear when Mr. Cummings formally issued an invitation to testify.

On Thursday, Mr. Cummings said he was consulting Mr. Mueller’s office to ensure that he did not hinder its efforts.

“I want to make clear that we have no interest in inappropriately interfering with any ongoing criminal investigations,” he said in a statement.

Do not return any calls from a guy named Mueller. If you do, you may end up being charged with a crime.

 

[Supersteeler]

Trump had Russian Dressing on a salad in 1987. Mueller has proof.

He's not testifying against Hildebeast, so he's safe.

And on an important note:

Congress wants to put Cohen up there so he can talk about Stormy Daniels and embarrass Trump some more. No way Mueller will let him testify publicly if he has other stuff on Trump that we don’t know about.

Damn. Turns out the FBI opened a new and separate counterintelligence investigation into Trump in 2017. Not connected to the original investigation that was brought on by the Steele dossier. FYI both of these investigations were rolled into the Mueller Special Counsel investigation. But yeah, it's all about Russians renting condos from Trump in the eighties.

This may be really bad for the NYT. It's obviously BS and the Times may have stepped on their dick one too many times.

Uhm, you may regret typing this at some point in the near future.

 

[Tibs]

It's what I've been saying from the very beginning, and I've steadfastly held my ground ever since. The Trump-Russia conspiracy investigation was completely legitimate and warranted. On top of that, Trump has bent over backwards to add to the laundry list of what Mueller and the FBI had to investigate, including obstruction of justice. There sure will be a lot of disappointed people. Disappointed in themselves, for looking the other way and not seeing the writing on the wall, which has been there from the start.

So now we will get multiple Twitter reposts from random never-Trumpers commenting on the same dubious NYT piece.

And you're sure of the fact the NYT just made up this story out of thin air, that there is nothing substantive to this bombshell report?

Somebody is making **** up. It's entirely possible that the NYT is just doing another typically sloppy job of not vetting sources because they are hearing what they want to hear. They've become a bunch of hacks. The National Enquirer has more credibility.

I don't need to find Tweets to offer this opinion, either.

And what’s funny they found absolutely nothing. Just another bullshit investigation.


Just wait it’s coming, just wait.

 

[Tibs]

And what’s funny they found absolutely nothing.

We don't know what they've found. This investigation got rolled into the overall Mueller investigation, which is, as you know, continuing unabated.

Has any of the conservatives on this board ever considered that Donald Trump might just be a crooked shyster that robbed the American people of a fair election through criminal conspiracy with Russia? Think about it. What happens if it is all true? What then?

And for the libs, What if none of it is true? What if we learn that our own government and media tried to pull off a soft coup of a duly elected President? Do we start shooting at that point? Asking for a friend.

I go with the evidence. And it all points to the latter.

Here is an example that shows Trump has the support of the majority of the country. Daily, I visit cnn and msn while at my desk at work just to check in on the news and see what's going on in the world. They are both plastered with anti Trump "bombshells".....every single day. Even if a major story breaks about something else, it is either under or right beside the daily Trump news talking about what horrors he is bringing on the American people this week and how we are all doomed.

Now on these two havens of Liberal thought, every single time they put a poll up on a hot button political issues, it comes out 60-40 in favor of Trump and/or the Conservative viewpoint. Every single time. Doesn't matter the topic.....immigration, gun control, climate change, etc. Always 60/40 Conservative. I get such a freakin' kick out of it every day just thinking about their employees seeing the results and going completely crazy trying to figure out what is happening to America. Lol, daily entertainment.

If it's true he should be impeached. I don't think anyone would argue with that.

Liberals will never agree if it's false. They'll just say the investigation was flawed or there's a coverup and keep on talking about condos and casinos in the 80s til the cows come home. Just like they still insist Bush lied about WMDs despite numerous investigations proving he did not.

I'm sure racism, sexism, islamophobia and xenophobia will play into it somehow.

Every day, it seems there is some new bombshell investigation into the Trump admin. And every day, NOTHING comes of them. Until something with actual SUBSTANCE happens, I pay zero attention to them. This latest bombshell seems to be nothing more than a fear-mongering slander piece by the NYT. Why wait until NOW to say something??
