Not one of the other 8 was subordinate to Hillary Clinton. what's more, those 9 people didn't actually have the power to stop the deal. That power rested with the president of the united states. http://www.factcheck.org/2017/10/facts-uranium-one/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonray Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 This should serve as a warning to any who ride the Trump train. Manafort has been doing these dirty deals for years but only after hooking up with Trump did he get caught...Trump's high profile persona and in your face style means bad news for anyone who works for him. It looks like the beginnings of a response is 'hey these are pretty bad guys, but what do they have to do with me ?". He will give anyone up to cover himself...all day suckers....more to come...he has already poisoned the distinguished career of Gen. Kelly and others...who else is gonna get sucker punched by this scumbag ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatwhitenorth Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 The sad state of American politics and the rise of extreme of the left and right has created a situation where both sides just scream at each other. There is no discourse in America. Only bitterness and hatred. Good luck to you fellows, your republic is in the decline and power is slipping away.

attrayant Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Keep trying. Trump isn't going anywhere.You think I want Trump to go? Then your failure is now complete. With his approval down to around 35% - one of the lowest ever sine we’ve started tracking this metric - Trump is doing a fabulous job of embarrassing himself and setting fire to his own party in Congress. It’s been nine months and less than nothing has been accomplished. He can stay right where he is for all I care. I only wish his babysitters would take away his Twitter account and give him some crayons and coloring books to keep him busy for the next three yearsPence, on the other hand, would be a lapdog for congressional republicans and they’d be able to advance their hateful agenda.

Those who have investigated find it's not true: But it should not have been a surprise. Any examination of Kelly’s past public remarks makes clear he is not a sober professional, calculating that he must degrade himself in public so he can remain in place to rein in Trump’s worst instincts behind the scenes. Rather, Kelly honestly shares those instincts: He’s proudly ignorant, he’s a liar, and he’s a shameless bully and demagogue. https://theintercept.com/2017/10/21/it-didnt-just-start-now-john-kelly-has-always-been-a-hard-right-bully/ Edited October 30, 2017 by CaptHaddock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with nearly all you say. However, there is one primary reason I'd like to see Trump go. He is likely to start one or more wars. The other thing: I like how he's tweets. I abhor what he says, but I like the fact that he expresses himself so readily. He shows to the world what an unhinged vindictive person he is. It's better to know what a dangerous politically powerful person is thinking, rather than have that person scheming in dark recesses. And yes, it exposes the Republican party for what it is: decrepit and harmful to America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the implications. Hope you'll read and share. https://twitter.com/sethabramson/status/925115577190010880 The "proactive cooperator" language suggests that Papadopoulos wore a wire and/or took other steps to collect incriminating evidence. The question is: did he have access to high level people during that time? What I think is that since Mueller knows that his getting closer to Trump and his family means that he is more likely to be fired each day, he probably has a number of indictments already issued by the court and sealed. So, if he is indeed fired, those prosecutions along with the ones made public today will go forward regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greatwhitenorth Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) The other shoe has dropped. The most prominent Democratic lobbyist in Washington, whose brother served as campaign chairman to Hillary Clinton, has stepped down from the firm he created after being ensnared by the Russia-Trump investigation led by Robert Mueller. Tony Podesta, who has donated millions of dollars to the Democratic party and lawmakers on Capitol Hill and worked as a link between corporate America and the Democratic establishment, has reportedly stepped down from his lobbying firm after it emerged that the US special counsel was investigating his work for a Ukrainian not-for-profit group linked to Paul Manafort. What if when the swamp gets drained, there is no one left to govern America? No wonder Jimmy Carter's star is raising.
