TrumpPutingate III: the beginning of the end

[Squints]

There is not one tenth as much "questionable" activity involved in the uranium 1 deal as there is in the Trump/Russia connection.

Did you do the “math” to infer or did CNN tell you that?

 

[luthervol]

Get your purple Nikes and grab your ankles :clapping:

Is that what the Nunes memo crazies are doing?

 

[ajvol01]

To recap:

Trump asked Comey for loyalty;
asked him to drop the Flynn probe;
fired Comey;
pressured Sessions not to recuse;
pressured Sessions to fire McCabe;
pressured Coats, Rogers, Pompeo & multiple congressmen to say he wasn’t under FBI investigation;
and tried to fire Mueller.

Zero crimes, huh?

Zero crimes, huh?

Sounds like obstruction to me. Maybe the senate will get to decide.

 

[ajvol01]

Sounds like obstruction to me. Maybe the senate will get to decide.

What crime or suspected criminal activity started the investigation into Trump team and Russia?

You could attempt the argument with Comey but not the rest.

His firing of Comey in an apparent attempt to avoid being investigated. The irony is priceless.

I didn't realize that Comey was the lead and only investigator, and that no new head of the FBI would be named. I thought for sure that would mean the end of any investigations. I bet Trump did too, because he has dementia.

Even that would be an extreme reach.

How much investigating does the head of the FBI do anyway?

 

[Orangeslice13]

If we aren't careful, we'll continue in this downward spiral and become the new Nunes memo, FBI secret society, and uranium 1 crazies.

I find it amazing that you think there’s a difference

 

[1972 Grad]

How much investigating does the head of the FBI do anyway?

I would say somewhere between zero, nada, and zilch.

 

[volfanhill]

Even that would be an extreme reach.

Agreed

He's the president. "Attempted firing" is covered under what federal criminal statute/ law?

All thinking people know Trump wanted to replace him with a puppet. It's the Trump way.

Obstruction of Justice

 

[1972 Grad]

Obstruction of Justice

Ha!

 

[luthervol]

I find it amazing that you think there’s a difference

Between what exactly? Left wing conspiracy wackos and right wing conspiracy wackos?

 

[luthervol]

Ha!

I can always count on you to get it.

.............and the new puppet would call off the dogs, and stop the investigation?

A U.S. district judge on Friday ruled that the Kushner family real estate company must reveal the identity of its business partners at multiple Maryland properties by Feb. 9.

U.S. District Court Judge James K. Bredar ruled that Kushner Cos., which is run by the family of President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, did not create the "compelling government interest" needed by law to block the public's access to judicial records and documents that reveal the company's business partners.

That was his plan. But more like, "we are ending the investigation due to lack of evidence."

 

[1972 Grad]

That was his plan. But more like, "we are ending the investigation due to lack of evidence."

That's what they should do now.

Starve the investigation of resources. "We have our best man on the case".

 

[luthervol]

That's what they should do now.

It's close to put up or shut up time. My money is on "put up." Your money is on "shut up." I would say "may the best man win", but that would put me at an unfair advantage.
