Russia Investigation Heating Up

But like you, I've derived entertainment from seeing you desperately try to rationalize yourself, only to fall flat and throw tantrums when we inevitably come to the conclusion of any these exchanges: slinging antipathy at each other.



"Tell us again?" Erm, I don't recall saying "you should take me seriously." I said: Methais can't back up his positions. And you can't. And demonstrating that you can't, and PB can't, and Wrathbringer can't -- is the "laughing and entertainment."

Are you Flimbo?

I don't know what that is, so I'm going to guess no.

That’s literally your party’s platform right now.

This is true.

No, we do still try. In hopes that one day you sad little men may actually learn something.

The only thing we are learning is that there are certain breeds of women that should have never been allowed out of the kitchen.

That's a great point, but there are a few minor exceptions:

1) Clinton will not be prosecuted due to the mens rea issues- which was the bulk of the reasoning offered by Comey

2) There would be a blue wave as backlash to Trump in 2018 (Democrats have outperformed partisan lean by about 14 points on average, and as of Feb around 40 seats have flipped to Dem in special elections since 2017. Also Dems have been up between 5-15 on the Generic Ballot for about a year now)

3) The warning I gave in 2016 that Trump's Russia connections were not benign, and that they were problematically extensive (Oook he's literally under investigation for them)

4) That Trump IS under investigation (which you poor little toasters repeatedly denied)

5) That Russia DID meddle in the election to help Trump win (which you poor little toasters also denied)

6) That Comey's firing was going to warrant an obstruction investigation (Oh look, according to a Republican appointee of a Republican President approved by a Republican Senate- it did!)

7) That parts of the Dossier were, in fact, correct (Oh look, they are)

8) That there was enough evidence to warrant a serious collusion investigation (Once again- according to a Republican appointee of a Republican President approved by a Republican Senate- it did!)


Meanwhile you silly little stooges keep shrieking "BUT THERE'S NO INDICTMENT FOR COLLUSION- SO YOU'RE WRONG!". Which is a very reasonable statement as long as you ignore the fact that I've been saying for some time now that there's a lot of reason to suspect that a sitting President won't be indicted, and the fact that the Mueller investigation- which is heating up VERY rapidly and which just confirmed that Trump is under criminal investigation- isn't nearly finished yet.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is- you should really keep shrieking, insulting, and gif'ing.

Because that's literally all any of you have.

Mahalo sweetie.

And you still don't have an impeachment or my $15 GOA for that matter.

Tonight was- as usual- another full news night for the Russia investigation:

1) New Court filings tonight from the Mueller team show that Manafort was served with 7 new warrants in March. One of the warrants was for 5 AT&T phone numbers, and, according to filings is related to "ongoing investigations that are not the subject of either of the current prosecutions involving Manafort,". Four of them were redacted to protect sources and information about ongoing investigations. Keep in mind that this week we found out that Rosenstein had explicitly approved Manafort as a target in the Russia/Trump/Collusion part of the investigation. It's quite possible that we're starting to see the inklings of Manafort indictments in that direction. Or they could be unrelated but a part of the continuing work to pressure Manafort into flipping.

2) Meanwhile, McClatchy reports tonight that

Quote:

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators this week questioned an associate of the Trump Organization who was involved in overseas deals with President Donald Trump’s company in recent years.

Armed with subpoenas compelling electronic records and sworn testimony, Mueller’s team showed up unannounced at the home of the business associate, who was a party to multiple transactions connected to Trump’s effort to expand his brand abroad, according to persons familiar with the proceedings.

---

Reportedly the investigators were VERY interested in transactions involving Michael Cohen. This follows reports in March that Mueller had subpoenaed the Trump Organization, and that Mueller was particularly interested in information on the Moscow Deal- which Cohen was very involved in.

It seems very likely that the latest subpoenas were based- at least in part- on the information they acquired from the Trump Org work in March.

McClatchy also reminds us:

Quote:

---

[Cohen's] partner in that effort [to secure a Trump Tower deal in Moscow in 2016] was Russian émigré and former Trump Organization associate Felix Sater, whose involvement in the pursuit of a Moscow-area hotel became public last year at a time when now-President Trump was insisting that he had no business interests in Russia.

This is literally the political equivalent of sitting in the third inning of a baseball game and saying that anyone who said the opposing team was going to win is an idiot because they haven't won yet.

Hopefully I don't need to explain to you how embarrassing it is to have that as your one and only argument.

I also never said that he would be impeached- you boys created that caricature to comfort yourselves. I said that he clearly colluded with Russia.
