I more expect them to claim ‘it never happened’ since no one can (now) point to the tweets themselves.
Holy shit, new indictments… 13 of them, all involving election interference by Russians.
"NEWS: Special Counsel Mueller/Grand Jury have indicted 13 Russian nationals and 3 Russian entities for interfering in the US Elections.
Indictment here: http://bit.ly/2GmxEcH "

Well that’s a lot to wade through.
Now he should start squeezing them. Maybe threaten them with GITMO or “rendition” for espionage maybe?
I bet Trumpty Dumpty is having a fit.
Nothing on the internet ever REALLY goes away. Shit gets copied and archived somewhere.
Oh, and:
No allegations of collusion or conspiracy with any campaign staff, according to the Bloomberg article. Contacts in the Trump campaign are specified as “unwitting.”
To the extent that there’s any implications at all for the Trump team, it’s probably a positive one. Because the more people Mueller indicts, the less pressure he would feel to justify his investigation by making dubious indictments.
But that’s a very minimal impact, if any. Based on everything I’ve read about Mueller, he’s a man of the highest integrity, and wouldn’t be swayed by that kind of pressure anyway.
Indeed.
The more criminals he finds, the less chance Trump is a criminal? That’s the new argument? Good job with the backhanded attempt to discredit Mueller, though. Nunes would do well to take note.
Saw a couple of interesting takes on this:
-
Indicting Russians makes it harder to (ever) fire Mueller or shut down his investigation.
-
Indictment of Russians also undercuts Trump’s ability to pardon his way out of this. Politically hard to pardon Russians…
Phippers gotta Phipp.
If you don’t understand things, you can always refrain from commenting.
Though it’s possible that would be too big of a constraint for you …
Some unwitting folks happen to be named Donald Trump Jr:
Know how one can tell this is great news for Trump? Because he tweeted this about 10 minutes after the news broke:
“Russia talk is FAKE NEWS put out by the Dems, and played up by the media, in order to mask the big election defeat and the illegal leaks!”
That tweet is from last year…
3 things about Trump’s tweet above:
- This isn’t news, it’s indictments. Nothing fake about them.
- I’m pretty sure the world knows Hillary lost the election.
- Interesting that there no leaks that these indictments were coming.
3 lies in 140 characters. Good job, Trump!
Goddamn it. Sorry about that.
I highly doubt they were all unwitting.
