Mueller Report Imminent

Steve Bannon expected to testify against Roger Stone

Former White House strategist Steve Bannon is expected to testify against longtime Trump associate Roger Stone.

Bannon will appear as a witness for the government during Stone’s trial, a person familiar with the matter told the National Law Journal.
Bannon has not been subpoenaed for his testimony, the person said.
Stone, whose trial begins Nov. 5, is accused of witness tampering, lying to Congress, and obstructing justice. The charges relate to his attempts to reach WikiLeaks during the 2016 presidential campaign.
 
DOJ: Trump campaign aide-turned star Mueller witness deserves probation

Rick Gates should be rewarded with probation after serving as a critical high-profile government witness whose testimony helped net convictions against two of President Donald Trump’s campaign aides, the Justice Department and an attorney for the former Trump deputy campaign chairman said in a pair of new court filings.

The 47-year-old GOP operative spent more than 500 hours with federal and state prosecutors, both before and after he officially flipped on Trump and his allies. He also responded to three congressional subpoenas for documents and testimony.

Gates’ voice dominates final Mueller report, as he recounts details about how Trump and his 2016 campaign coordinated and planned for the release of stolen Democratic emails at critical moments of the White House race.

In order for me to believe this, i would have to have convincing evidence that the stolen emails came from guccifer 2.0 and not some idiot IT guy that worked for Biden.

The point I'm making is that this article is an editorial based on cherry-picked information. Journalism is a discipline that holds the pursuit of objectivity as a baseline standard. The article you shared is not journalisms since it disregards all of the compelling information that conflicts with the weak argument being presented. Carl Sagan predicted this moment prior to his death. Watch his last interview on Charlie Rose. It's an amazingly prescient set of accurate predictions. We've traded our freedom to form an opinion in on the notion that we have a freedom to choose on own facts based on preconceived biases. As a society we've evolved to a very dangerous place where we assume that anyone with access to Google can gain expertise over a few minutes of clicking. This isn't true. Education is real. Expertise is real. Science is real. Facts are are real. Denying those truths to serve a bias is dangerous business. Of course I can't blame those who believe the pitch, but I am disgusted at those who seed and propagate the alternate reality. Russian interference in our last election is a hard established fact established by reams of data. It's not in doubt. Trump's subversion of the constitution in service of his personal interest is also not in doubt. Ideology is up for debate, as are economic structures, degrees of personal freedom, levels of taxation, etc. Sadly facts are not what we should be debating. The earth is round. The planet is warming. Trump is a despot. Facts. I'll probably bow out soon, as masses stumble in to talk about how the planet can't be warming because its chilly in Maryville today, and how the New York Times is a liberal propaganda machine run by George Soros. Theres no chart that will make me believe those things. I would suggest watching that final Charlie Rose/Carl Sagan interview. It's good stuff. In the interim, Go Vols. Beat Everybody.

And in 2 sentences you discredit an otherwise pretty dang good post.
