And it Begins:Special Prosecutor To Investigate Trump And Russia

[Sarge]

And that will be the biggest risk for Trump, Kushner etc. especially now that they've apparently flipped Flynn. That and possibly obstruction for pressuring Comey to drop the Flynn thing and then firing him when he didn't. That was an asinine move on Trump's part that could come back to bite him.

Still not a shred of evidence of anyone colluding with Russia on the election

I don't know that he actually pressured Comey to drop the case. It is my understanding that he said in passing that he would like him to let it go. Who Knows?

 

[Sarge]

Flynn says Trump directed him to talk to the Russians. About what? I don't know.

I know you like to remain above the fray and stay in the good graces of the pro-Trump crowd Sarge, but really? Maybe you missed the weeks and months of non-stop news after Comey's firing. Yes, the real news Trump has been calling 'fake news' for over a year now. Real news based on true facts. The situation couldn't be any clearer.

Comey Says Trump Pressured Him to ‘Lift the Cloud’ of Inquiry
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/07/us/politics/james-comey-statement-testimony.html

WASHINGTON — From his first days in office, President Trump repeatedly put pressure on his F.B.I. director, James B. Comey. He demanded loyalty. He asked that an investigation into an adviser be dropped. And he implored Mr. Comey to publicly clear his name.

As Mr. Comey described Wednesday in written testimony prepared for the Senate Intelligence Committee, Mr. Trump’s entreaties continued for months, in unexpected phone calls and awkward meetings. As Mr. Comey’s discomfort grew, so did the president’s persistence and his frustration with Mr. Comey’s unwillingness to help.

Mr. Trump fired Mr. Comey last month, and his account offered an extraordinary back story, one that unfolded with cinematic detail, terse dialogue and tense moments across a White House dinner table.

Again, Comey wrote this down word for word in a deposition to Senate Intelligence Committee.

There are reports that he asked him numerous times to drop it. But like you said, who knows?

I think just about the sanctions and Russia's reaction to them...nothing to do with the election. The problem is if Trump has already told Mueller that he knew nothing about the contacts. They'll get Trump on lying about that.

 

[Sarge]

Well, even if he did direct Flynn to talk to the Russians, I am not sure what he is guilty of. Unless, of course, talking to Russians is a crime. What a mess. Our whole government is a cess pool of weasels and snakes.

Yeah, because James Comey is an honest and upright man. Unless he is investigating a Democrat's email crimes.

I'll have to take your word for it, as I don't spend every waking moment of my life worrying about this "investigation." Just thought I had heard or read that somewhere.

Flynn says Trump directed him to talk to the Russians. About what? I don't know.

Probably about baseball, pumpkin pie recipies, vacation spots in the Keys, dog breeding, golfing tips, things along those lines.

Come on people, let's be real, there's nothing to see here. Just the same old fake news nothingburger libtards have been hocking since the inauguration cause they're so pathetic and bitter.

The Dow dropped 350 points and swung wildly on a report that Michael Flynn is prepared to testify against President Trump.

The sharp slide in the stock market came within minutes of an ABC News report that Flynn is prepared to testify that Trump directed him to make contact with Russians. CNN has not confirmed the ABC report.

Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser, pleaded guilty on Friday to charges he lied to the FBI about conversations with Russia's ambassador, according to court documents.

The Dow was recently down 135 points, while the S&P 500 fell almost 1%. The Nasdaq was down 1.1%.

"This is how a market reacts when there is a large unknown. Everyone wants to know: What's the next shoe to drop?" said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at Wunderlich Securities.

Come on Spike, we need some glossy, shiny Christmas pictures with silver tinsel and Melania in her high heels, something, anything to distract the natives.

Description of the charges.

Interestingly enough it states he was communicating about the Russian contacts with senior members of the presidential transition team. It doesn't say who and says nothing about him communicating with Trump himself. Still to come? Who knows.

Clearly you are incorrect.

These muthafuckas MUST go down.

The Neo-Socialist temper tantrum just keeps rolling along.

There is certainly nothing about collusion on the election. Not a shred.

That's the part that gets me. I mean, if we are going after liars and people with questionable financial dealings, we are going to need a new congress.

None of what they did is a crime so far except the lying about it.

The cover-up is usually worse than the crime. Unless of course you are the Clintons. Can't say with them, because they have never been held to account.

The only one mocking anyone here is Tibs. The rest of us are trying to have an intelligent discussion of the developments.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be mocking anyone. This has been nothing but a civilized, polite, mature discussion board where we've calmly and respectfully debated issues over the years. Never a personal attack, never an insult or slander against anyone. I apologize for having come up short of the high standards set around here.

Mock away, it's no skin off my nose. Just pointing out who's doing the mocking in this thread.

Explains a lot.

Gloating over the stock market crashing Tibs? Why do you hate old people?

Dow is heading back up now. Probably people reading the charges and realizing there's still nothing there.
