Robert Mueller, Former F.B.I. Director, Is Named Special Counsel for Russia Investigation

Curious... this Russian Oligarch wasn't one of the sanction list, was it?

 

Oops, I guess my answer is in here...

 

More context regarding the Oligarch who paid Michael Cohen

 

Clinton, he's even admitted to the perjury since then so you don't have to go out of your way thinking up a defense for him. I have a feeling though if this president lies under oath to federal prosecutors, the same people who defended Clinton will be out for blood....all the more reason for Trump to not fall into a perjury trap.

 

But that happened 2 years after re-election, and you said he was re-elected despite the perjury.

 

Well yeah, only complete morons didn't know that he perjured himself, it would be like if OJ came out and admitted to killing Nicole Simpson next week and then people pretending like no one knew before that.

Everyone knew Clinton was guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice, they just decided that it didn't matter that he was guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice....which is fine I guess, but it just makes those same people hypocrites when they are holding their breath hoping that one day they might have a legitimate case against Trump for perjury and obstruction of justice.

 

^^^^^^^
This idiot is just completely making things up now. How could people voting in 1996 know that Clinton committed perjury in 1998?

 

Because whoever you're referencing must be a super-genius. Good reason for normal mortals to have her or him or it on ignore! We are not worthy. (And bonus: we can stay on topic.)

 

Well if it makes you feel any better I'm pretty sure I'm on his ignore list so you'll be spared the worthless 20 post exchange.

 

LOL @ Kid Trailer strapping on his GED to argue legal procedure with an actual attorney.

 

Very well written and hard to capture all the points in a few excerpts... well worth a complete read.

How Michael Cohen’s Apparent Russia Payment Might Help Prove Collusion
We might have a quid. Here’s the possible pro quo.

...yeah.

The Gordian knot in all this, as the author acknowledges, is Citizens United. Proving anything like collusion will be extremely difficult, unless somebody says something they shouldn't, but the fact that so much of this investigation seems to center not so much on the actions themselves, but on how they seem to be facilitated through old-style and brazen organized crime tenets is absolutely fascinating...

...what a time to be alive, indeed...

...well...for a little while longer, anyway...

 

DoJ witheld from Congress that they had a human intelligence source tied to Trump investigation.

WSJ speculates that it might be someone the FBI/DoJ employed to spy on the Trump campaign

https://www.wsj.com/articles/about-that-fbi-source-1525992611?redirect=amp&ns=prod/accounts-wsj

 

I can’t believe doj would want to keep the name of an intelligence source away from nunes

 

That's interesting. Thank you for posting it. To be honest I am not sure what to think about all of the information though.

 

Can't read the op-ed piece (don't subscribe). And not criticizing the author of the editorial. But wouldn't be more correct to say "Kimberley Strassel speculates", not "the WSJ" speculates?

Important to note that (1) WSJ is a conservative paper (at least the editorial staff) , (2) Strassel is responsible for the self-described conservative editorial "The Potomac Watch" and (3) Strassel's pro-trump work is believed to be the cause of friction between the WSJ editorial staff and the WSJ reporting staff. She is known to be a vigorous support of trump and defended Pruitt's travel and accommodations expenses, believes Comey tried to entrap trump and considers the Steele dossier one of the ditiest tricks in politics. So it would be safe to say she is likely to be pro-trump in any writing she does.

Again, in fairness, I haven't read the editorial. If someone could cut-and-paste into apost it would be helpful.
