One of the important parts of the sentencing memo for Cohen:

“The defendant’s false statements obscured the fact that the Moscow Project was a lucrative business opportunity that sought, and likely required, the assistance of the Russian government. If the project was completed, the Company could have received hundreds of millions of dollars from Russian sources in licensing fees and other revenues. The fact that Cohen continued to work on the project and discuss it with Individual 1 well into the campaign was material to the ongoing congressional and SCO investigations, particularly because it occurred at a time of sustained efforts by the Russian government to interfere with the U.S. presidential election. Similarly, it was material that Cohen, during the campaign, had a substantive telephone call about the project with an assistant to the press secretary for the President of Russia.”

What a week it's been, completely nuts. I can barely keep up with this investigation.

Manafort is totally fucked. What a moron. He must have thought Trump would save him somehow via a pardon.

He was in contact with the Trump admin while in talks with Mueller even after he was indicted. He lied about his contact with the Russians, in particular Konstanian Kilimnik, who it associated with the DNC hack. He lied to Mueller a total of five times....adios!

The Cohen filing was another bombshell: Cohen spoke with a Russian who offered to help Trump's campaign and pushed for a meeting with Putin. Turned out that didn't matter, since he already had a connection to the Kremlin.

Cohen lied to Congress three times in regards to Trump Tower Moscow. Mueller's filing also showed that Trump lied to the American people, and was in contact with Russian officials the entire time he was running for the Republican primary and after. Cohen also working as a liaison for Trump during this time with the Russian government. Cohen had discussed plans to fly to Russia and meet the President or Prime Minister on Trump's behalf. What a shocker Trump will never talk poorly of Putin...ever. It's all about the money.

Mueller also showed that Cohen took direction from Trump to pay off the women he was having affairs with.

Then there is Flynn... who pled guilty to lying about his contacts with the Russians . He has provided "Substantial" evidence to Mueller over the last year. As we knew all along, Flynn was working with Mueller, but I'm shocked by how much. Nineteen meetings, and a recommendation of as little as no prison time because of his extensive cooperation. So much for "Flynn hasn't flipped." The filing shows that there are three separate investigations that are ongoing to include the Russian election interference and other criminal charges. Flynn has helped our government with all of them.

Roger Stone is refusing to cooperate and will take the fifth.

Corsi isn't willing to play ball either.

It also looks like they're working on rounding up Julian Assange, slowly but surely. 

Everybody is going down, and it's clear what will happen next.

After the filings, Flynn's cooperation and the heavily redacted paperwork, we can see more criminal charges are in the making. My guess would still be Junior who CLEARLY was willing to conspire with the Russians to get dirt on Hillary. Roger Stone taking the fifth also  comes to mind. There is nothing Mueller doesn't already know and has extensive info provided my Trumps' personal lawyer and National Security Adviser. I also highly doubt it was a coincidence that Mueller released these filings after Trump submitted his written answers.

I think that's where we are headed. Right now as it stands, I'd say we should easily expect charges of obstruction of justice, campaign finance violations, various financial crimes and very likely to see conspiracy with a foreign government. All against Donald Trump.

When will the GOP finally stand tall and break with this man?

The subject was changed to Axl because Trump is in fact wrong about what he's tweeting in regards to those fires. It's also a horrible thing to tweet, considering the loss (human, property and nature) and a completely deranged thing to do if you're the POTUS.

More bad news, being reported by the Wall Street Journal




Then of course there's the new AG:

Trump knows about 50 words and is a pathological liar.

Jim Acosta of CNN has been banned by the WH from attending press briefings, anybody want to talk about that? Any takers.

Not only that, but the White House used doctored footage (via InfoWars) to claim that Acosta assaulted the intern.

Who ya going to believe, the doctored video we put up on Twitter or your lyin' eyes?

The whole thing is ridiculous, but it's also an attack on the press and freedom of speech. The fascist shuts down questions, then lies about what happens and puts up false evidence to justify his outrage. It's some real banana republic shit for sure.

#329 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 354 weeks ago

I'd imagine more will be fired today or this week. ^^

This is a national emergency IMO. That said Trump is pretty stupid, and I'd imagine Mueller has planned for this contingency. Either way...get ready.

#330 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 354 weeks ago

Resigned my ass. Trump is going to replace him with a sycophant who believes Mueller is out of line. Trump knows there are more indictments coming (Stone and Junior are my guess) as well as hours upon hours of testimony given by Manafort and Cohen recently. This combined with a Democrat House spells bad news.
