I don't care what he did. he is insignificant.

Doesn't seem like it if he's accepting plea deals from Mueller. Why don't you care what he did? Because you're a partisan troll.

he didn't kill four marines, he didn't take a bribe from russian agents. He's a nobody who was caught lying. He shouldn't have lied. I live by that.

Yes, he did kill 4 marines in Niger. He sent them there with no knowledge of what they had in store for them. He sent them there without even knowing what their mission was. Then he tried to throw his generals under the bus after the fact. We also don't know if he didn't take a bribe from Russia. Manafort did - that's why he didn't take a fee from Trump despite being campaign chair...he was already getting paid by Russia!

So you say he shouldn't have lied...but not lying would mean he would have to divulge the fact that he was in contact with Russian agents on behalf of the campaign. If he was smart, he would have just said those Russian agents were unrelated to the campaign. But he's not smart; no one on Trump's team is. So he went around bragging to Trump's people that he's got all these connections.

He obviously lied because he thought he would get away with it.

The terrorists he pardoned initially REJECTED his pardon because they did not want it. They finally took it, and their little community voted in lock step for Hillary for Senate.

Fucking hilarious - you don't even know about this thing of which you speak. I asked you a very simple question, but you couldn't answer it because you can't.

The Alt Right trolls try to protect Team Trump.

America is rolling right over them.

We need to start at the grass roots and start electing Congressman who have ZERO ties to DC. They are ALL criminals.

Best way to accomplish this is to ban all donations and fundraising for campaigns, and move to an entirely publicly-financed campaign system.

But Conservatives oppose that because....they think money is speech, therefore some people have more speech than others.

I agree, although talk about draining the swamp--super challenging to implement.

 

[The Derp]

You forgot to mention that all of his attempts / requests for meetings with Russians were rejected....

Well, not all of them. Uday arranged to meet with the Russian at Trump Tower because he thought she had dirt on Clinton. Remember, he first said the meeting was about "adoption", but then quickly said the meeting was about getting dirt on Clinton.

Oh, it wouldn't be easy. But it's something we are capable of doing, and it's something that must be done to preserve our democracy.

As matters increase from bad to worse, the Alt Right will get much worse.

I expect the alt-right to pull a Reichstag fire of some kind.

T-Rump has bigger problems than Manafort

Could a Footnote in the Papadopoulos Announcement Bring Down the Whole Trump Campaign?

Monday’s revelation that former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to making false statements to FBI agents about his efforts to arrange meetings between the Trump campaign and the Russian government has delivered some explosive details about the Russian effort to help get Trump elected president.

However, buried within the announcement of Papadopoulos’s guilty plea is a key footnote that may implicate the high-level officials within the Trump campaign in knowledge of collusion with the Russian government.

 

[TheProgressivePatriot]

And Manafort is a BIG problem

Why Paul Manafort Is Going to Be Under Immense Pressure to Testify Against the President

Manafort, a veteran Republican political operative, played a key role in Trump’s rise to power. He served as middleman between the Trump campaign and the Russian government in 2015 and 2016. The charges against him and a business partner, Rick Gates, bring allegations of criminal activity into Trump’s inner circle for the first time.

The 12-count indictment, which includes conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money and making false statements, enhances special prosecutor Robert Mueller’s reputation for "shock and awe" tactics.

The charges strengthen the notion that Trump collaborated with Russia to gain the presidency and gives the lie to Trump’s claim that the Russa investigation is a "hoax." More than any other person who could have been indicted, Manafort can testify about Trump’s Russia connections.

Mueller Puts Down a Marker
October 30, 2017 at 5:02 pm EDTBy Taegan Goddard54 Comments

Financial Times: “The allegations in the federal indictment of Paul Manafort and Richard Gates — even considered in isolation — are enough to frighten any friend of America. If they are true, Donald Trump’s campaign manager from March to August 2016 — a period encompassing his nomination by the Republican party — was a criminal. Not a criminal in some abstract or technical sense: Mr Manafort is accused of laundering millions of dollars, evading taxes, and concealing his role as a lobbyist for a foreign government.”

“The latter point is the most alarming. It raises the possibility that a foreign power, without knowledge of the electorate, influenced the policy of the party that ultimately won the presidency.”

In the news today:

George Papadopoulos guilty plea shows Donald Trump Jr. may be incredibly vulnerable

George Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to investigators about a Russian offer of “dirt” on Hillary Clinton remarkably similar to one made to Donald Trump Jr. — who may face new legal jeopardy in the special counsel probe

There’s nothing in the guilty plea to directly implicate the president’s son, who set up a June 9, 2016, meeting with a Russian attorney promising “dirt” on Clinton — but the court documents show a much clearer picture of what investigators already know.

An associate emailed Trump Jr. on June 3, 2016, to set up a meeting with the “Russian government lawyer” to discuss the campaign, and the president’s son invited Manafort — one of the campaign officials described in the plea — and his brother-in-law Jared Kushner

The guilty plea signed by Papadopoulos, who has turned over documents to the special counsel and likely has worn a wire, show it’s nearly impossible that Manafort — and possibly Trump Jr. and Kushner — did not know what the meeting would be about.

They're coming for you Jr. They are coming for you!!!

Now that Trump knows about Papadopoulos, I predict something outrageous in the very near future.

 

[JakeStarkey]

The stupidest thing he could do is fire Mueller, so that may be exactly what he does.

You're not the only one predicting that. I find it hard to believe he is THAT dense. But we will see.
