Yup, and they’ll move heaven and earth to ensure that voter laws get changed in their favor between now and 2018.
So the Republicans speculate that Trump is getting paid by the Russians and their first instinct is to swear each other to secrecy. Way to go. That is abhorrent.
Trumps taxes could easily be the “criminal” activity everybody is looking for.
One person just has to show payment from the Russians to Trump, supposedly his tax return shows no income from the Russians. The Al Capone way to jail.
I think you mean “autophagy.”
I think it may be likely that he doesn’t charge Trump himself, as he may just be considered a “Useful Idiot”. That doesn’t mean Trump won’t need to be removed under section 4 of Article 25, because he appears to be possibly afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease.
Ha! As a molecular biologist, I have co-authors who have published on this topic. Now maybe the term might be relevant in Polisci circles?
The letter said Trump had no income from Russian sources in the past 10 years, which is downright weasely, because for the past 10 years he hasn’t done much real estate development- he mostly did branding deals and worked in entertainment.
Hm. Wasn’t Pence head of Trump’s transition team? Then, just whom did Flynn tell this to? Is Pence lying when he said Flynn lied to him?
Very first thing I thought of when the news broke. Lawsy me!! A good Christian man lying like that? My, my, my.
The article that cmyk linked to says that the republicans were speculating that Trump was in the pay of the Russians, so not likely to show up on his taxes.
He told the attorney who is now the White House attorney.
If you look at the article, it looks like what the transition team knew about was Turkey, not the Kislyak conversations that discussed sanctions. Those conversations are the ones that left Flynn vulnerable to blackmail and are also the ones that Flynn supposedly lied to Pence about.
At this point, it wouldn’t surprise me if Pence knew everything about everything from the moment he was selected as VP, however.
Speaking of Flynn, Flynn stopped military plan Turkey opposed – after being paid as its agent. Sweet Og. This is the guy that Trump is firing people to protect? Really makes you wonder why…
Little-known fact: Trump invented that phrase, shortly after inventing “priming the pump.”
Oh, lookie hear, WikiLeaks is going after Robert Mueller, right on schedule.
Let’s just say that you’re Vladimir Putin and you’d like to destroy the United States as the only superpower. You’ve got Kompromat on Trump and most of the top Republicans. What would you tell them to do that would do long term damage to the USA?
Now look at Donny’s agenda and see where they match up.
May the impeachment come soon.
I should add that the larger point, which is that the transition team knew that Flynn was under investigation and went ahead with appointing him anyway, is still valid.
“Boss, this guy Flynn is a lying sack of shit, and will bring you nothing but grief!”
“He’s a great guy, and the stories are all lies!”
“OK, Boss.”
"Besides, my [del]handler[/del] [del]boss[/del] buddy Putin said I had to.
