    Apologies

    In the tweet reference, there are also numerous potential crimes depending on what was discussed. Most likely would be the Logan Act, also perjury by Don Jr.

    In regards to the notion that Hilary also committed Foreign National crimes....Fusion GPS is an American Company, not a foreign national. So again, no.

    There is numerous evidence of the computer crime occuring.
    There is also numerous evidence of consideration given.
    The piece that was missing is missing is the explicit agreement of the exchange of consideration for the information, obtained by the computer crime.

    Doesn't everyone provide signatory authority to the GRU?

    A small point in the scheme of things, but I think that statement "from her secret home server is incorrect". Those were from the DNC server. I don't believe there has been any credible information that her server was ever indeed cracked.

    Funny, the trump legal defense complains about how long the investigation is taking all the while they drag out whether or not trump testifies...

    LOL @ Frum.

    But seriously, 45 says random crap so often that anything under oath is an automatic perjury trap. We should all be able to admit that. He can't even keep straight where his father was born, just for instance. Never mind dates, names, and financial facts.

    Perjury trap would be the DoJ asking questions about what Trump had for breakfast ... with the second question being ... what does Putin have on you?

    I think that Trump legal team should not allow Mueller to ask a single question to Trump wrt Trump's illegal activity.

    Trump would still lie his ass off but would be less consequential.

    Emails released today reveal that Obama-DOJ official Bruce Ohr (who assembled the dossier, the genesis of the Russia lies and investigation) was working directly with Christopher Steele, the British spy, to put together the Russian dossier. Steele's attorney was registered as a lobbyist for none other than Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska (who allegedly has close Putin ties). Steele and Ohr met 1 day prior to the FBI launching operation Crossfire Hurricane, which was the spying on the Trump Campaign. Strategic leaks to the media on the Russian collusion lies ramped up around the same time.

    Is this entire 2 year Special Counsel / Russian collusion angle a smokescreen for the DNC/FBI/CIA/Media actual collusion with Russian and foreign intelligence agencies to spy on Trump, prevent him from being elected, prevent him from being inaugurated, and try to remove him from office? Is the DNC/FBI/CIA/media guilty of exactly what they are falsely claiming Trump did? We'll see. There's far more evidence of this being true than Trump's collusion with the Russians, that's for sure. And I would not at all be surprised if the Trump Tower meeting was set up by the FBI/CIA, given the Derispaska ties. If that is true, then whoa. This was truly a filthy, dishonest effort to frame Trump for something he did not do.

    GOOD DAY

    The most important question... what color hats were they all wearing? We'll see. Wait, were't you supposed to say "Stay tuned." ?

    Walking back 2 years of false Russia allegations against Trump won't be easy for the liberals to do. Expect conspiracy theory claims to be the first line of defense... but that's exactly why the dirty intelligence agencies would create a smokescreen in the first place, to enable that defense and confuse the issue. Accusing someone of something you did is just such a tactic. We'll see.

    A VERY GOOD DAY
