TrumpPutingate III: the beginning of the end

This is the end Trumpsters. Lord Bannon will betray your orange god and he will be executed for conspiring with the Russians to cut people’s taxes, grow the economy, reduce unemployment, and beat ISIS. His last meal before facing the electric chair will be two scoops of ice cream, while everyone else gets one.

Speaking of blatant stupidity, read this article from the geniuses at FOX re: mensa superstar SC Rep. Gowdy. Read it closely.

Wow. Just wow.

FoxNews:

Gowdy said the only "dangerous" issue for President Donald Trump is if "credible evidence" is presented.

He said Bannon's credibility has taken a hit, since he once said there was no chance the Russian lawyer who met with Donald Trump Jr. did not meet Trump Sr.

But, after he was fired, Bannon reportedly told author Michael Wolff that there was no chance the meeting hadn't occurred.

"This is the same witness that said that members of the president’s family committed acts of treason. So, he’s got a credibility issue," Gowdy said. "If they’re hinging the entire case on Steve Bannon’s credibility, good luck to the prosecution."

The issue du jour seems to be the assertion of executive privilege, but the real issue remains that the House Committee under Senor Nunes is nothing more than a partisan laughingstock. It's literally all just a show with Bannon followed by Lewandowski today - who essentially said, "Meeeeeh... I just kinda don't feel like answering your questions today... maybe we try again some other time." Might as well had been Jeff Spicoli ordering a pizza in Mr. Hand's class.

At any rate, Mueller is the one feared here, not these fools. In the meantime, enjoy your tax money at work with the Congressional sideshow monkey organ grinders.

NBC:


Rather than cite the possibility that the president might assert executive privilege to block his testimony, Lewandowski said he was simply not prepared to provide those answers Wednesday, offering to return at a later date.

“Yesterday he said on Fox that he would answer every question that we had. Today, however, he refused,” Schiff said. “To me it’s inconceivable that you would come to an investigative hearing on these issues unprepared to answer questions.”

Schiff complained that while Republicans were willing on Tuesday to subpoena Bannon to try and force him to answer questions about events during the transition and in the White House, there was no such willingness today when it came to Lewandowski.

“We as an investigative committee cannot allow that to become the routine, to allow witnesses to decide when and where they’re willing to answer questions,” he said. “This committee is treating witnesses differently than they treated Mr. Bannon.”

Remind me of your outrage when executive privilege was claimed during the fast and furious probe, the Benghazi hearings and when IRS employees refused to answer questions.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

LG on Trump possibly being corrupt:

"This is an outrage that will not be tolerated. The fact that he hasn't yet been thrown into a vat of acid is proof that he is covering up his treasonous crimes!"


LG on Hillary possibly being corrupt:

"Right wing nut jobs have been trying for years to get her. The fact that she hasn't yet been thrown into a vat of acid proves how innocent she is."

Report: FBI Probing if Russia Funneled Money to NRA for Trump - The Daily Beast

Alexsandr Torshin, has close ties to Vladimir Putin, and the sort of shady connections one expects from an oligarch in the Putin circle. (He has been charged with money laundering overseas and links to mobsters.) Torshin is also a lifetime member of the NRA, hosted NRA delegations visiting Russia, has attended several NRA conventions, and has spoken with gun enthusiast Donald Trump Jr.

Torshin is not the only link between the NRA and Putin. Last February, Tim Mak profiled Maria Butina, a gun-rights activist who has worked in American right-wing politics. At one Washington party immediately after the election, Butina “brazenly claimed that she had been part of the Trump campaign’s communications with Russia, two individuals who were present said. On other occasions, in one of her graduate classes, she repeated this claim,” Mak reported.

Both Butina and Torshin have also worked with Paul Erickson, a veteran Republican operative and gun rights activist who has cultivated close ties to Russia. Erickson has called the alliance between the NRA and “Right to Bear Arms,” its Russian counterpart, a “moral-support operation both ways.” There is a genuine ideological connection between the right-wing ideology of the NRA and of many Russian nationalists, a strand of violence-obsessed authoritarian pan-European nationalism. Of course, if the support given Trump by Russians was not merely moral but also financial, it would violate the law.

“Change” is quite the loaded word.

Does that last Senate line mean they will take the wall AND other measures? Or is that just worded poorly from the news outlet?

"Follow the money". It appears that they are investigating the money trail of all rich Russians. This is a stretch but it goes to show just how far Mueller has dug.

A National Rifle Association member sent an email to the Trump presidential campaign with the subject line "Kremlin Connection," saying he could arrange a back-channel meeting with Trump and Russian president Vladimir Putin, the New York Times reported on Sunday.

“Putin is deadly serious about building a good relationship with Mr. Trump,” wrote NRA member and conservative activist Paul Erickson in the May 2016 email to Trump advisers Rick Dearborn and Jeff Sessions. “He wants to extend an invitation to Mr. Trump to visit him in the Kremlin before the election. Let’s talk through what has transpired and Senator Sessions’s advice on how to proceed.”


Russia was “quietly but actively seeking a dialogue with the U.S.” and would try to use the NRA’s annual convention in Louisville, Kentucky, to make “first contact," wrote Erickson in the email, which was part of a collection of documents that was turned over to Congressional investigators, the Times said. It's not if Dearborn took him up on the offer.

It was brought up before but here is the link

So a member of the NRA tried to broker a meeting? That's your smoking gun?

There was a meeting between Russians and the Trump campaign that didn't just happen out of thin air.

"Smoking gun" I love it. That was perfect.
