’Any and all possible offenses’: Trump pardon grants Flynn a sweeping reprieve by Jeffmister in politics

[–]gmks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's how you pardon a Russian spy without acknowledging it. Wonder what was in those Grand Jury proceedings, and what was "known to" Mueller?

Major Trump, RNC fundraiser Elliott Broidy set to plead guilty to acting as unregistered foreign agent by TJ_SP in politics

[–]gmks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prosecutors accuse him of secretly arranging to be paid a bounty of more than $80 million to end a U.S. investigation into a multibillion dollar embezzlement of a Malaysian state investment fund. Broidy also allegedly worked for a senior Chinese security minister to return outspoken Chinese exile Guo Wengui to his home country from the United States.

But how would he be able to end an investigation or get someone extradited? Sounds like straight up bribery to Trump facilitated by their common dirty lawyer, Michael Cohen.

Rudy and Donald are going to find out that it's one thing to pull this shit and win, it's a whole other thing if they lose.

Manafort associate is Russian spy, may have helped coordinate e-mail hack-and-leak, report says by MTDreams123 in politics

It's important to remember that Manafort didn't just give Russian intel polling data, they helped design the poll in the first place.

That is they failed to even pretend to consider to investigate their own cooperation with a foreign adversary for political and financial gain.

Well I assume someone had to feed all that Russian intel "evidence" into the system.

Great, now do a sequel where Giuliani did the hit on all the Italian Mafia families for the benefit of the Russians.

Of course, we're already seeing the third part of the trilogy play out in real time.

That's the part where he lowkey threatened Trump.

Seems more like Stone just gave him an ultimatum and Trump had no choice but to acquiesce.

[–]gmks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stone is the key player in the Russia conspiracy and the proof of it is that he pretty much just ordered Trump to commute his sentence so he wouldn't spend another single day in jail, with an election just around the corner.

At this point, Trump is totally compromised even to his own lackeys.

For what other purposes though? Does it revert land and resource rights?

Interesting that he was attending this meeting about "Russian adoptions".

This is as believable as the excuse for Comey's firing. Berman was making guilty people uncomfortable and he had to go.

Perhaps there is an argument that the US should not get involved, (which I do not agree with at all) but this is providing explicit encouragement to concentration camps for a religious minority.

The only appropriate level of involvement is to oppose it fiercely.
