Finally. Mueller’s getting around* to asking people “So … what did Trump mean when he publicly asked Russia to hack us? That was weird right?”**
I actually know someone that this happened to. He was trying to pull a stump out with his jeep, and hooked it up while standing behind it. Jeep rolled and messed him up pretty badly.
IIRC, something like that happened to Anton Yelchin (who played Chekov in the AbramsTrek reboot movies).
Yep. Forgot to set the park brake, and it rolled into him and crushed his lungs.
Maybe it’s partly because i drive a car with a manual transmission, but for me it’s basically reflex to pull the handbrake before exiting the driver’s seat of any car i’m driving.
On a related note, this video always cracks me up. I feel bad for laughing, because the poor woman looks like she took a pretty bad knock, but it’s comedy gold.
It’s pretty bad, but let’s be honest: do you think that there’s a single White House communications director in the past thirty of forty years who didn’t see their job in exactly the same way?
Being fair to Yelchin, check out this article about the transmission in question. Notably, this part:
I can drive a stick, but these days I drive an automatic, and I gotta say, having the shift lever re-center itself after you shift into park seems bizarre and disconcerting. It also seems like a needless “feature” that can only cause trouble. What’s the benefit?
New York’s banking regulator is now seeking information about Jared Kushner and the Kushner Company from Deutsche Bank and others.
Aaaaand the NYT has just broken that Hope Hicks will resign. No link yet.
The AP is showing it as a breaking story as well, friedo, but no link atm.
Ooooh. Possible state charges. That’s just a damned shame for Kushner. Trump can’t pardon those.
NY Times:
New York AG Schneiderman is widely rumored to be pursuing multiple lines of investigation into Kushner, the Trump Organization, and related entities in close consultation with Mueller’s team at DOJ.
Aside from the feds, New York has the most robust apparatus in the country for investigating and prosecuting financial crimes.
“She told colleagues that … there would never be a perfect moment to leave.”
Seems to me that admitting to lying on behalf of the Head Twit would qualify.
“Offering sex lessons without a work permit?” Is that what they’re calling that these days?
That sure as hell disproves “Those who can’t do, teach.”
Mueller is just the start. There is so much left we have to investigate.
The entirety of Trump’s life. All his financial behaviors, his ties to the mafia, his sex crimes and sexual harassment.
Same for his children. Their entire lives need to be investigated with a fine tooth comb
The abuse of security clearances
Using insecure communication devices in the white house
Russian money ending up in the GOP, and what republicans knew about it
Republican efforts to obstruct justice and cover up/block investigations into Trump-Russia ties.
Russian ties to major politicians of all parties (check if Russia offered help to Sanders or Stein, and if anyone in their team knowingly accepted Russian help).
Mueller will investigate some of this, but the rest still needs to be looked into. We need the FBI, state attorney generals, federal attorneys, congressional committees (after the democrats win one house of congress), etc. to investigate all of this, and prosecute when possible.
If Russia and China were hoping that Trump could be used as an example for why democracy doesn’t work, maybe we can prove to them the power of a democratic system. If we have full investigations followed by arrest and incarceration of some of the most powerful people in America, then the average person in Russia and China may wonder why they can’t have that same kind of justice in their country. Why can’t they have investigations into corruption and criminal behavior among the powerful in Russia and China?
Actually, the arrest and incarceration of some of the most powerful people in the country, spearheaded by their political opponents, is something that the average citizen of Russia and China (and any number of other countries, mostly Third World) would be very familiar with already.
It’s a good thing that doesn’t accurately describe things happening in the US right now, otherwise you’d have a point.
Given that the investigation being discussed in this thread is spearheaded by a Republican, you must be referring to what the Trumpeteers want to do regarding Benghazi and those emails.
