Well, its going to be Uncle Joe now... Anyways, you all completely fail to mention that economic sanctions have been very damaging to the Russian economy and that Trump has been the only US 'political' figure advertising that those sanctions should be lifted... International sanctions during the Ukrainian crisis And that Putin actually said so. Putin: I wanted Trump to win the election Not sure its worked out that well since Trump has only further increased sanctions just recently even though Trump is rather quiet about the whole thing.

this is really interesting and i don't see it discussed in the media much, if at all. is this why Manafort isn't already out of jail? Why President Trump Can’t Pardon Roger Stone "Madison provides evidence that the intent of the framers was to limit the pardon power from being extended to a president who wanted to use it to pardon co-conspirators. His remarks are a guide to how we should interpret the limit explicitly written into the Constitution when it comes to cases of impeachment: It strips a president of the power to use a pardon to “shelter” anyone “connected in any suspicious manner” way with the president’s alleged high crimes and misdemeanors." i also suspect that recent pardons are directly associated with Trumps warfare on this very topic. since people will see that he still appears to have pardon powers, the notion is that they will be confused to any objections when his cronies start getting sprung.

this just sounds so... "Trumpian". when the king waves his hand then history gets re-written? i just can't really imagine that this wasn't a side attempt by the Trump team to gear up to re-write history regarding the bigger fish. Court won't let Trump pardon void guilty verdict against Arpaio

Trump just got bad news from Neil Gorsuch’s mentor in a big Medicaid case Gee, theres gotta be a way to get poor people off of government health care! Need to buy more tanks and give rich people more tax breaks!

Court dumps Nunes' suit against Trump dossier firm So much... Not winning! Nunes is in this thick and he knows it.

but no one said that Obama was a saint and that he should have pardoned those he did. but we're talking about a whole new level now... Trump pardoning those who may have detailed information regarding his own criminality.

because this will be ongoing and deserves a new thread to track. Russia Is Helping Elect Trump Again, Intel Official Says "The meeting, which took place on February 13, was conducted for the House Intelligence Committee" “It continues with the same target, and the same purpose, and it’s clear that they [the Russians] favor one candidate over the other” “The president said he didn’t want any more briefings like this” "And in the wake of the briefing, Trump forced out Maguire" follow the same recipe as last time i guess! more pancakes!

when the only defense is... "whataboutism". What About 'Whataboutism'?

no one said there was a crime. there doesn't have to be. if you lie then you obfuscate the truth. that truth may be a crime or it may be some detail that leads to a crime or not. its not for the liar to decide. all law and order rests on it. when people testify they pledge not to lie at the risk of prosecution. if there were no consequences to lying in legal proceedings and with law enforcement then there would be no law and order. law would be powerless.

that doesn't make sense. one lies about something to cover something up.

Trump world now awaits Roger Stone pardon “It’s not a question of if,” said a former senior administration official. “It’s when.” taking bets now on the date of the pardon. i suspect it won't come until after November.

Roger Stone sentenced to over three years in prison “He was not prosecuted for standing up for the president,” Jackson added in her closing remarks. “He was prosecuted for covering up for the president.” of course, the WH and supporters will just blame crooked cops, crooked judge, crooked jurors etc...

geesh... i'm a rag. i didn't say it. i was just reporting that the Government Accountability Office said it.

Chris Murphy says Zelensky promised to steer clear of Giuliani So the first question is... While Murphy was encouraging Zelinsky to avoid Giuliani, what were the two R senators doing? Were they encouraging Zelinsky meet with Giuliani? Or?

Federal judges' association calls emergency meeting after DOJ intervenes in case of Trump ally Roger Stone now that Trump is attempting full and unfettered rule above the law will he be able to simply remove judges? disband the Federal Judges Association? Trump announces a blitz of pardons and commutations first move, of course, is to further denigrate existing institutions into dust while at the same time acting like a "crooked cop" (Trumps own words) hunter. then pardon those who are keeping their mouths shut but are suffering in jail because of it.

I think you're being generous... How many sleepstate criminals have been locked up so far? Zero! Winning! Haha!

Army won't investigate Vindman over impeachment testimony, top leader says Hmmm... Where is that thread now?

DOJ drops case against former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe I don't know... Maybe need a new thread to keep track of all the sleepstate criminals that Trump can't seem to pin a parking ticket to. Winning... Not.

Trump tweets about Barr interview after AG complains about Trump tweeting "The president asserts that he has a “legal right” to ask the attorney general to intervene in a federal criminal case." Just makin it up as he goes...

jurys can be criticized. all white juries in cases where blacks are accused of crimes against whites is almost always a valid concern. Stones defense had every opportunity to reject jurors. they are also able to appeal for a retrial on any juror basis. are they? not that i know of. its Trump same old bullshit... if its a ruling not in favor of his unabashed lawless behavior and that of his associates then its a "witch hunt", a "hoax", "everyone is corrupt except me" (or more accurately, "i'm corrupt too but only because i have to be to confront the complete corruption of my enemies"). that works for 3 of 10 people our there.

Stone was acting to assist in Russia's interference in the election, Clinton was having "Russian" sex with Lewinsky. all roads lead to Russia.

Trump accused of another quid pro quo, this time with New York "President Donald Trump appeared Thursday to link his administration's policies toward New York to a demand that the state drop investigations and lawsuits related to his administration as well as his personal business and finances." more of the same

what you're implying is that the system of justice in the US, judges and juries made of members of the public... is corrupt. its not Russia... i mean, not yet anyways.

hes rich... its all Russian money! lol! like i've said before... its well known that luxury real estate is the biggest money laundering industry in the world and that dictators have the most money to launder. why do you think Trump is so cushy with Kim, Vlad, Rodrigo... those others? Angela, Emmanuel, Jason... no money chumps!

so, theres something wrong with snooping for "old" crimes? is that illegal? actually... its not. and for good reason. a crime is a crime my friend. but yeah, not sure who the dictator is in your banana republic but i guess they are winning... since Manafort, Cohen and Papadopoulos are in jail or just got out. and Flynn, Gates and Stone are getting fitted for orange jumpsuits as we speak. all Trump has to do is wave his hand and they will be free! what is Trump waiting for? if Trumps enemies are guilty then... he should get them arrested. not happening so far. he's had three and a half years. not "winning" so far. haha! but hey, Trump was just told that he can do anything and never be kicked out of office by the senate so maybe there will finally be some "winning".
