I agree with all that but to ensure the understanding of the American people, all of them, it is time for Mueller to give an update, even a vague one, on the nature and scope of his investigation. He need not divulge anything that would be harmful to his further investigations but he should give the public something to promote their civil forbearance.

 

 

 

If you read the actual things in the news about it instead of ignoring it or saying it is fake news, you would have known already.

These guys are professionals and are playing the long game with their cards close to their chests. They also know that they have a subject who has the largest microphone in the world and they don't want to get into fighting the case in the court of public opinion or show their hand. On top of that, their subject continues to shoot his mouth off and provide more evidence for their case as he squirms nervously while the investigation gets closer and closer and more people turn. This is going just the way they want it. 

When they are ready, it's going to go down hard and there will be a lot of people in jail. Trump is either complicit or a dupe. Given his track record in terms of business, ethics and telling the truth, I'm betting he's involved.

Mueller only had a small part in this.  Federal prosecutors in New York are investigating Cohen's business dealings.  He was laundering Russian money into real estate investments.  He owns assets way beyond what he would have earned as an attorney.  It's no surprise that Trump saying the money to pay Daniels came from Cohen led to the warrant, because Cohen was spreading around Russian money like a drunken sailor.  Trump better hope that there's nothing connecting him to Cohen's money, otherwise Mueller just proved his case against Trump.

I have read what thing's "could mean", what is "possibly happening", what he "may be" doing. I have also read what concrete actions he has taken. I do not ignore it nor am I against his investigation. Let him do what he needs to do, go where he needs to go. That said, though he was given wide latitude to investigate Russia's meddling in US elections and anything else stemming from his investigation of that central mandate we're now getting the most news on porn stars. It's looking a little Burlesconiesque, a prurient sideshow. I think in the vaguest of terms, if he wishes, he should give an update on his investigation.

 

BTW, I have never used the term "fake news", but I will say since you seem interested, that I find most news from most sources to be full of half truths or omissions meant to bring satisfaction to their target audience.

I don't know what he may have done but I'm confident Mueller will find it, if it exists.  If they do find something I hope it is something more than his clumsy attempts at obstruction, which to my mind is just Trump being Trump, though most likely unlawful.

    

 

That's a long face, if there ever was one

Further on that, the term “fake news” (like “political correctness”) has been transformed through misuse into a meaningless buzzword. Fake news refers to stories that are entirely fabricated and posted on websites in places like Macedonia and Bulgaria for the sole purpose of selling advertising on the websites; the creators have no political convictions or agendas one way or the other. Biased reporting, propaganda, composite or contrived sources, deliberate omissions, etc., are entirely different things. And I do believe that most reporters (though certainly not all) are indeed trying to do their jobs and making an honest effort to maintain journalistic integrity.

What is it with this crap and some prostitute he may have slept with 13 years ago?  He wasn't president then so who cares.  There are plane loads of Americans arriving in Thailand everyday to sleep with prostitutes, what's the difference.  Donald trump pays woman to sleep with him a decade ago who really cares.

So that is what you got from all the news about this, it is about Trump sleeping with her yes or no?

The reason why Tiny Don is acting even more adolescent than usual, over this, is that there is something to hide. Alot to hide. Like evidence that either he or the campaign paid the hush money. There is a zero percent chance that Cohen paid this without reimbursement. Trump is used to being able to commit crimes daily, and tell incredibly lies, while avoiding scrutiny. Now, he is under the microscope. And the germs are festering!

 

He got busy with Stormy, and the playmate, and many of Epstein's underage girls too. In addition there is little doubt King Vlad has tape of him with underage escorts that he arranged, in order to get him to heed his beck and call, and he has become a lap dog for Putin. 

 

Little Don has alot to hide. And he is running scared. You can see it in his eyes. The man is a terrible poker player. Get used to saying President Pence.

 

 

Edited April 10, 20188 yr by spidermike007

The search warrant was requested by a U.S. attorney appointed by Trump. The Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, and head of the FBI are all Republicans, appointed by Trump. Mueller, a republican, was appointed by a Trump appointee.

 

Looks like Trump really does hire the best.

Congress  should impeach Rosonstein and FBI director Rey for allowing this to happen. They are a rogue Justice depart and FBI!

Spidermike said it all/  Trump has a whole life  of cheating' lying' doing things illegal and getting others to cover for him by paying them off. He went into the Presidency thinking he could do the same thing. He has managed to piss off the FBI; CIA; the US Military; the Justice Department not to mention most of the Foreign community. These people don't answer to Trump (except the military)- they answer directly to the American people and they are going to do their job.

 

Even Trump with all his billions and connections can't buy his way out of this one. My only fear is that he may start a war in an attempt to buy time and cover and he has the perfect foil to do it in John Bolton.

 

I keep thinking it can't get any worse- but it does and it will.

I'm sure you actually know the answer.

It's the timing of the hush money payment with Trump's Republican Party nomination. There is the potential for violating federal campaign laws - a criminal offense.

That would be most curious - a Republican-controlled Congress impeaching two Trump nominees appointed by a Republican-controlled Congress. Might as well throw in Trump nominated and Republican-controlled Congress appointed AG Sessions who oversees the Judiciary.

But I would support a "clean sweep" if Trump is included in the impeachment.

I don't think that's it. I think some people have seen so many illegalities get a pass from law enforcement agencies and the press they come to think of it as unfair when they actually start to do their jobs. 

 

Remember that Bill Clinton/Loretta Lynch meeting on the tarmac in a private jet? Then the next day the Clinton investigation blows over. Everybody knows something illegal went down and of course if this president had done anything like that the media would have been merciless. Credulous people, not yourself of course, saw it for what it was. 

 

Go after all the wrongdoers, without partiality, prejudice or favor and it will go a long way to healing what divides America at the present time.

Ryan, in his statement, called the search warrants executed by the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan "completely inappropriate and unnecessary."

I can not understand how the FBI were able or indeed if they were able to get the warrants without Cohen (and others) not being tipped off.

 

Even still I suspect that the Shredders in Cohen's office have been working overtime for weeks...

 

The real smoking guns will not be what the the FBI finds but what is missing.

I agree with you that they should investigate Hillary for example on how she won the democratic nomination as that stinks too.

I commend my fellow posters on the board for not replying to the utter drivel you have posted, but sadly my 'troll' alarm is set at a lower threshold than my erstwhile colleagues. Your normal posts take the biscuit sometimes but this truly seems like lunch time drunken trolling.
