    Horrifying. Until Congress stands up to him, I'm convinced things will keep getting more disturbing, week by week.

    That is independent of the rumor, but the rumor fits the trend. Dude has spent an entire wicked life seeing what he can get away with. What do you say, America?

    Manafort will never flip. What would he testify to? That Trump busted his ass hitting 3 or 4 rallies a day while Hillary slept in and spent her time being carried around like a rag doll by secret service agents in the wrong states?

    What if I told you, there was no collusion.

    I propose that when this investigation is finally wrapped up (in about 5 or 6 years the way this is going), and the conclusion is that Russia did make attempts to influence and sow chaos but no evidence of collusion with the Trump campaign is found, you and every single other Trump hater who are pinning all your hopes and dreams on Mueller are going to feel so hopeless after getting your hopes up for so long.

    Heh...even *if* trump would be to further obstruct justice by having Mueller fired... there is still the Senate investigation which has't bent over for trump. And, even *if* the Senate committee didn't act... some of the crimes happened in NY state... and the state would take up the case.

    Sorry... this "train" will keep going down the tracks, no matter what trump tries.

    Manafort is looking at life in prison. He'll flip. heck, he probably already flipped.

    And you can tell me that there is no collusion. Its pretty clear there was. But... there will be charges of obstruction of justice. Criminal conspiracy. Money laundering. Emoluments violations. And who knows what other charges. Any one of these charges will be enough. Mueller will bring a number of charges.

    What if I told you a random bbs poster stating this holds zero weight?

    As of now, the public has a plethora of circumstantial evidence such as the Seychelles meeting and Donald's financial ties to Deutsche Bank which have already been openly reprimanded for money laundering Russian oligarch money.

    The only people who have access to the actual details such as the actual moeny transactions and testimonies of the meetings by members of the adminstration who have and are starting to squeel are active investigators in the special counsel.

    You trying to make grand projections based on ass is just you swinging at the air patheticly because you are sucked in to the cult of personality that is Trump. Definition of a cuck.

    Yep. This is going to some dark authoritarian places if Congress doesn’t being to assert their oversight powers. After this drawn out Saturday Night Massacre, Trump is sure to keep pushing the emoluments violations and test the limits of executive power. Team politics is failing us bigly.

    Trump thinks being president is being the dictator. And he is gonna go as far in that direction as he can until Congress and the Judiciary stop him. Putin wants western democracy dead and his boy Trump seeks to deliver.

    It's pretty clear to those with even a hint of objectivity that there likely was no collusion. Firstly, if Mueller had any evidence of collusion, we would already know because it would have leaked, without a shadow of a doubt. That investigation leaks like a sieve.

    Secondly, the house intelligence committee investigated for 14 months and found zero evidence of collusion. You can try to spin it as "republican run", well, there are democrats on that committee and the liar Adam Schiff has been saying that he's seen evidence. Now when you ask him to point to what evidence, he points to the sham meeting between Trump Jr, Manafort, and the Russian lawyer who obtained a meeting on the pretext of offering unsolicited opposition research on Hillary.

    That's collusion?

    If that's collusion, then what do you call Hillary paying obscene amounts of money to a foreign spy to dig up dirt on Trump? Is that not collusion?

    It's obvious that y'all have absolutely nothing.

    One of us is going to look really stupid and foolish whenever this finally comes to an end. I look forward to revisiting your posts and pointing out how incredibly wrong you were just like all the ones saying definitively that there's no way in hell Trump gets elected in the pre-election threads.

    This line is probably the most absurd. You think life long trained high level FBI investigators who understand the importance of having a open and shut case would leak data points from an ongoing investigation which would then show their hand and allow the ones being investigated to shore up accounts and have time to corroborate stories? Really?


    Mueller's special counsel is as tight as Mike Pence's anus.

    That is a GOP congressman in the intelligence committee admitting this. Trey "let's have 7 investigations over Benghazi because Hillary" Gowdy has explicitly contradicted the committee's findings stating that Russia did target to help Trump.
    Let's use some common sense here. The DNC along with some GOP funding might I add paid for the services of Fusion GPS, a trusted and reputable AMERICAN private investigative firm. Steele who was then hired by Fusion GPS was a spy for British intellegence, a nation that aligns with US foreign policy. Steele then used contacts that are unfriendly to the Putin Regime, a entity that is unfriendly to US foreign and economic policy.

    Trump allegedly using the help of Putin's regime, an entity that is hostile to US interests is called having a conflict of interest to the United States.

    Hiring a British intellegence agent to get dirt on Putin's lackies and their ties to Trump no matter how you spin it is not a conflict of interest to US foreign policy, national security, economic policy etc.

    Context bro.

    Notice one thing about the Trump admin along with the GOP and their relentless attack on the dossier. Not once have they tried to attempt to discredit the reputation, qualifications, competence etc of Fusion GPS or Steele who was an outstanding British intellegence agent who had very deep and nuanced knowledge of Russian intelligence.
    You already look stupid.

    I'm sure you've used your perception of over used leftist terms like 'bigot' in a facetious/ironic manner also.

    No attempt at retorting any of my points through. Just trying to pick the lowest hanging fruit like always.

    It is pointless to retort. We both have very strong opinions and I don't feel like being called a name this evening. My job is kicking my butt currently.

    I was confused by your use of the word cuck because I knew the definition of a few years ago (cuckold). A quick Google search indicates it has changed recently with the addition of the cuckservative which I assume that is how you are using it. Then I found that old GQ article and thought it was fitting.

    Someone want to tell Aces that “Indictments” are not leaks?

    If you are confusing publicly unsealing indictments with leaking than yeah Mueller does leak a lot... like 40 times already.

    That’s a lot of leaking.
