Russia Investigation Heating Up

We already have collusion. The Don Jr meeting and the resulting coverup concocted by the president on Air Force One. Beyond that we have impeachable offenses by the president. His consistent defense of putin while attacking basically everyone else in the world, despite his intelligence community saying that Russia attacked even hacked our elections. There's a gross dereliction of duty here, a collaboration that doesn't require a smoking gun. Along those lines we have the trump led government doing nothing to protect us from this happening again. That's his job. It's pretty basic and fundamental to being president. He won't even allow the overwhelmingly bi partisan sanctions.

And let's not forget trump publicly calling for the Russians to hack Hillary, for WikiLeaks to do their thing. Remember this, "I love wikilieaks". He got out on the campaign trail and encouraged espionage against the USA.

The only response the right has is to say that Mueller's been investigating since May 2017 and there's no evidence of collusion. Obviously that's a bullshit argument. The investigation is still occurring. They know it's bullshit so why are they saying it and why are their minions carrying this torch? This also highlights the obstruction of justice case and the interference the GOP is running, the counter attacks they are pre-emptively hitting Mueller with. The Nunes bullshit memo.

Like the family values preacher who gets busted banging little boys, it's the wrapped in the flag, support the troops type of American who's loudest in defense of trump. It makes me sick.

Oh do we? go ahead and tell Mueller to charge them already, since you've already cracked the case and know the most.

Show me the federal law stating collusion is a crime. I'll wait.

Don't forget this bit:

Jared Kushner and Russia’s ambassador to Washington discussed the possibility of setting up a secret and secure communications channel between Trump’s transition team and the Kremlin, using Russian diplomatic facilities in an apparent move to shield their pre-inauguration discussions from monitoring, according to U.S. officials briefed on intelligence reports.


Ambassador Sergey Kislyak reported to his superiors in Moscow that Kushner, son-in-law and confidant to then-President-elect Trump, made the proposal during a meeting on Dec. 1 or 2 at Trump Tower, according to intercepts of Russian communications that were reviewed by U.S. officials. Kislyak said Kushner suggested using Russian diplomatic facilities in the United States for the communications.

Foreign policy experts and former officials told The Washington Post such a request of the Russians would be inappropriate unless carefully coordinated with the Obama administration, which was in office at the time. They said any secret communications could have left Kushner vulnerable to manipulation by Russian officials.


Kushner’s meeting with Kislyak was not initially disclosed when Trump’s son-in-law sought a security clearance. Media reports revealed the meeting, along with another private session Kushner had with a representative of a Russian bank.


“If you’re going to create a back channel that relies solely on the Russian communications and apparatus, that’s a really serious issue,” said Mark Lowenthal, a former assistant director at the CIA. “That’s extremely dangerous.”

I think it's worth recognizing that we don't know what charges will be brought, what the words on the indictment will read. Obviously there's already lying to the FBI. I don't know the word for that or the legal language to describe it.

Collusion is not just the charge people are laying at Trumps feet it's also a catch all to account for nefarious actions by the trump campaign. Arguing about collusion is like arguing Kleenex vs. a tissue to try to say you didn't sneeze. Only by being willfully ignorant and willing to stand by your man at all costs can one get lost in the weeds like this.

Also the first thing the Trump administration did when they got into office was to try to roll back the Russian sanctions that were levied specifically for the election meddling.

And then he recently refused to levy additional sanctions as required by Congress.

If anyone is curious- this is what collusion looks like.

They knew in advance the Russians were advancing. They contacting Russia 20 minutes prior to pull those dudes back.

If Trump were really all about Russia, we wouldn't have shit in Syria in the first place and we'd have pulled out and just let Russia have it all. We didn't do that. We've intensified operations in Syria. No, Trump didn't personally go and do that, but his policy of continued operations in the country did.

We weren't in Syria in force when Obama was President. Because when the Syrians crossed the line, he moved the line further. He mostly left all the ground stuff to the Russians. March 2017 though, guess what happens? We start landing Marines in that bitch.

I don't disagree with that. I do disagree with your idea that trump killed Russians as proof that he's not putins puppet or that since Obama didn't kill Russians but Russians died while trump is president as some more proof of something. It's a dead end or rather a no end/no beginning argument in defense of trump.

Ya,,,it's odd for sure. He's a man who can't control his weaker impulses and I have to assume that every single person in the WH tells him not to respond to this shit. I wonder if he's any good at poker?

If Trump was innocent as he claims to be he'd be praising Mueller, the FBI and the intelligence community and working with Congress to strengthen cyber security and our election systems and enacting tough sanctions on Putin and Russia, not the complete fucking opposite.

Necro has something to say. You don't. Be more like Necro, less like you

Nice Breakdown of the collusion here:

— Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about talking in April 2016 to a professor with close ties to the Kremlin who told Papadopoulos that Moscow had "dirt" on Hillary Clinton. The professor told him about thousands of emails the Russians had from the Clinton campaign.
— Donald Trump Jr., Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort met with a Russian attorney at Trump Tower in June 2016 after being promised "dirt" on Clinton. The campaign later communicated to meeting organizers that they were disappointed they didn't get what they were promised.
— In July 2017, the president and White House advisers put together a misleading statement about the nature of the Trump Tower meeting, saying that it was for the purpose of discussing Russian adoptions.
— The Trump campaign knew through Papadopoulos that the Russians had obtained thousands of emails from the Clinton campaign. Then-candidate Trump publicly asked the Russians in July 2016 to hack Clinton and find her "30,000 emails that are missing" from the personal email server she used while secretary of State. WikiLeaks began posting emails from the Clinton campaign in October, just weeks before the November election.
— Former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn held secret conversations with Russian officials in December 2016 during the presidential transition period, promising to undermine sanctions imposed against Russia by the Obama administration for meddling in the U.S. election. Flynn pleaded guilty late last year to lying to the FBI about those conversations.

"All of this is evidence of collusion," said Schiff, a former federal prosecutor. "Now, I've never said that there was proof beyond a reasonable doubt. That's for Bob Mueller to decide. But to say there's no evidence of collusion, you'd have to ignore all this."
Mueller is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election, possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, and possible obstruction of justice by the president.
"If this were a trial on the issue of did the Trump campaign conspire with the Russians to interfere or violate U.S. election laws by providing help to the Trump campaign, if this were a trial on that conspiracy charge...all of that evidence would come in as evidence of collusion," Schiff said.

Interesting write up here - http://observer.com/2018/02/kremlin-...dency-in-2014/


As the president tweeted on Saturday: “Funny how the Fake News Media doesn’t want to say that the Russian group was formed in 2014, long before my run for President. Maybe they knew I was going to run even though I didn’t know!”

This claim is absurd on its face. That Donald Trump floated the idea of running for the White House several times before he officially threw his hat in the ring on June 16, 2015, is a matter of public record. Moreover, he applied for a patent on his trademark slogan Make America Great Again back in November 2012, just six days after Barack Obama was reelected. Donald Trump’s Twitter feed between then and the official announcement of his candidacy included several references to his impending presidential run. The future candidate was re-tweeting others’ use of the #Trump2016 hashtag as far back as 2013, another indication that the White House was on Trump’s mind long before June 2015.

Then there’s highly classified intelligence demonstrating that Donald Trump was planning on running for the presidency—with Kremlin backing—years before the 2016 election. Back in the spring of 2014, a European intelligence service, a NATO ally of the United States, received a top-secret report that the Russians would back Donald Trump for the White House in the next election. The source was a mid-level Russian intelligence official who had plausible access to secret Kremlin plans.

Moreover, this source had a track record of providing accurate information, so his Trump bombshell merited examination. However, our partners determined that the notion was so absurd—after all, Trump was a reality TV star, a mere carnival barker, not a serious person—that the report had to be Russian disinformation. The source was put “on ice” for several months and his information was not shared with the Americans, since our friends didn’t want to appear so foolish as to suggest Donald Trump would run for president with secret Russian help.

You're watching him:

1) fire the people investigating him and his campaign (including attempting to fire the special prosecutor- which is literally Nixon-level corruption)

2) try to convince the entire country that a foreign power didn't meddle in our elections (even though he knows for a fact they did) to keep said country from protecting itself

3) leverage the DoJ to go after political rivals (which is literally Putin-level corruption)

4) Attack critical democratic institutions and norms

5) Cozy up to the world's authoritarian dictators

6) Accuse people of treason for not applauding him (Even Putin doesn't do that)

And you're cheering him on.

The United States is supposed to exist long after this one person. You're watching him burn the kingdom down- which means you actually think this one human being is more important than our democracy, our sovereignty, and our rule of law. We'll be repairing the damage for a generation at least- all for four silly years. And one man who is uniquely bad at governing but uniquely good at destroying what he can't control.

I'm not a particularly political person by nature, but I've learned over the last year or so that I can't afford that stance any longer. You're an excellent reminder of why.

If nothing else, I'll thank you for that one.

And yet, Trump routinely attacks the Republican party. I'm sure PB hates Ryan and McConnell.

There seems to be a group of people who are both drawn to authoritarian qualities in a leader and who have a deep-seated anger that Trump has tapped into.

Trump has engaged in a hostile takeover of the Republican party, but he's not the Republican party. If he were to break off from the GOP, about 20% of this country would follow him. I don't particularly know a lot about PB, but he strikes me as one of those people.

Except for a few outliers; George Will, Kristol, Romney (?), the Bushes, Schwartz...and some others, the GOP has simply rolled over for trump and exposed their bellies like a submissive dog. Nothing Grand about the submission of the Grand Old Party. It's a shame because we do need a sensible conservative party. I guess we lost that a few years ago considering that moderates like Bush and Kasich get shit all over now a days and freaks like Cruz and Trump go head to head to be their new leader

They're just trying to keep their jobs. That doesn't excuse it, but most of us fight pretty hard to keep our jobs.

The one bright spot was how Republicans reacted to Mueller's latest indictments. I think a lot of them see a light at the end of the tunnel on that one. Once Trump's witch hunt/hoax spin starts falling apart, it opens up the possibility of Republicans turning on him. I think they all get that suddenly their stalling tactics and disinformation campaigns could turn into a liability pretty soon. Deep down inside, I'm betting that's what most of them want.

And if the Dems take the House, I think we'll see support for Trump start to collapse enough for any negative reports by Mueller to suddenly be taken very seriously.

Having said that, never underestimate what Trump is willing to do to avoid consequences. I don't think there's any moral core there, and I don't think he's actually capable of empathy for anyone he doesn't regard as his close family. (Even Melania doesn't seem to qualify) That's what worries me most. If he senses Republicans are turning on him, he'll get desperate.

There are only a few ways to suddenly get an entire country to rally around their leader, and all of them are scary.

I fully expect things to get worse before they get better. For one thing we are utterly exposed to bad actors. The president is attacking his own intelligence community and the state dept. is in shambles. The rest of government is being cored from the inside out by cabinet level leaders who despise the institutions they're supposed to lead. The whole apparatus of government is weakening. Beyond that, a demagogue will false flag the hell out of something to stay in power. He just doesn't have it in him to gracefully bow out and go away if that time comes. It'll be scorched earth.

A former top aide to Donald Trump's presidential campaign will plead guilty to fraud-related charges within days – and has made clear to prosecutors that he would testify against Paul J. Manafort Jr., the lawyer-lobbyist who once managed the campaign.

The change of heart by Trump's former deputy campaign manager, Richard W. Gates III, who had pleaded not guilty after being indicted in October on charges similar to Manafort's, was described in interviews by people familiar with the case.

"Rick Gates is going to change his plea to guilty,'' said a person with direct knowledge of the new developments, adding that the revised plea will be presented in federal court in Washington "within the next few days.''

The one bright spot was how Republicans reacted to Mueller's latest indictments. I think a lot of them see a light at the end of the tunnel on that one. Once Trump's witch hunt/hoax spin starts falling apart, it opens up the possibility of Republicans turning on him. I think they all get that suddenly their stalling tactics and disinformation campaigns could turn into a liability pretty soon. Deep down inside, I'm betting that's what most of them want.

And if the Dems take the House, I think we'll see support for Trump start to collapse enough for any negative reports by Mueller to suddenly be taken very seriously.

Having said that, never underestimate what Trump is willing to do to avoid consequences. I don't think there's any moral core there, and I don't think he's actually capable of empathy for anyone he doesn't regard as his close family. (Even Melania doesn't seem to qualify) That's what worries me most. If he senses Republicans are turning on him, he'll get desperate.

There are only a few ways to suddenly get an entire country to rally around their leader, and all of them are scary.

You're watching him burn the kingdom down- which means you actually think this one human being is more important than our democracy, our sovereignty, and our rule of law.

If nothing else, I'll thank you for that one.

I don't hold any power over President Trump. All I did was vote for him over the worst candidate in my lifetime. If anyone is to blame for President Trump.. it's you. YOU enabled someone like Hillary Clinton to get the nomination.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Washington (CNN)Special counsel Robert Mueller's interest in Jared Kushner has expanded beyond his contacts with Russia and now includes his efforts to secure financing for his company from foreign investors during the presidential transition, according to people familiar with the inquiry.

This is the first indication that Mueller is exploring Kushner's discussions with potential non-Russian foreign investors, including in China.
US officials briefed on the probe had told CNN in May that points of focus related to Kushner, the White House senior adviser and son-in-law of President Donald Trump, included the Trump campaign's 2016 data analytics operation, his relationship with former national security adviser Michael Flynn, and Kushner's own contacts with Russians.

Mueller's investigators have been asking questions, including during interviews in January and February, about Kushner's conversations during the transition to shore up financing for 666 Fifth Avenue, a Kushner Companies-backed New York City office building reeling from financial troubles, according to people familiar with the special counsel investigation.

Some excellent commentary on the recent Kushner news by Preet Bharara.

http://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2018/02...gates-live.cnn

After months of criticizing special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, President Donald Trump’s supporters are issuing increasingly bold calls for presidential pardons to limit the investigation’s impact.


“I think he should be pardoning anybody who’s been indicted and make it clear that anybody else who gets indicted would be pardoned immediately,” said Frederick Fleitz, a former CIA analyst and senior vice president at the conservative Center for Security Policy.


The pleas for mercy mainly extend to the four former Trump aides who have already been swept up in the Russia probe: former campaign manager Paul Manafort, former deputy campaign manager Rick Gates, former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos. But they don’t stop there.


“It’s kind of cruel what’s going on right now and the president should put these defendants out of their misery,” said Larry Klayman, a conservative legal activist. “I think he should pardon everybody — and pardon himself.”




​What's with all these idiots that don't realize pardoning is an automatic admission of guilt??

Special Counsel Robert Mueller has charged the son-in-law of a Russian oligarch with lying to his office about communications with other indicted individuals.

Alex van der Zwaan, an attorney and the son-in-law of Russian billionaire German Khan, faces charges of making false statements. The charges were dated Feb. 16 but unsealed Tuesday. He is expected to plead guilty in court Tuesday afternoon.

New charges have been filed in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's criminal case against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and aide Rick Gates, but the charges were put under seal by the court, obscuring the nature and import of the development.

The new charging document filed in federal court in Washington could be a superseding indictment, adding new charges or even new defendants to the charges filed last October, accusing Manafort and Gates of money laundering and failing to register as foreign agents for their work related to Ukraine, among other crimes.

There was no immediate indication of new charges in the court's online docket, but a public, paper docket book kept in the clerk's office at U.S. District Court in Washington contained an entry showing sealed charges filed recently under the docket number for the Manafort-Gates case. The entry was undated but the sequence suggests the charges were filed Friday or later.

Facebook (to congress, media): none of these (Russian) ads changed anyone's mind. Nothing to see here.


Also Facebook (to investors, advertisers): for just a few dollars you can show ads that will change the behavior of our users, and those dollars fund our entire business

Ya that was a dumb ass statement from their vp of ad sales. Most of what the Russians did was free

Federal investigators are probing whether former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort promised a Chicago banker a job in the Trump White House in return for $16 million in home loans, two people with direct knowledge of the matter told NBC News.

Manafort received three separate loans in December 2016 and January 2017 from Federal Savings Bank for homes in New York City, Virginia and the Hamptons.

The banker, Stephen Calk, president of the Federal Savings Bank, was announced as a member of candidate Trump's Council of Economic Advisers in August 2016.

No one cares.

At least the "fiscal hawk conservatives" let their constituents decide their candidate unlike the "blue collar liberals", so much for liberty.

This should have a link to the 32 count indictment recently filed on gates and manny

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his former deputy, Rick Gates, were indicted on new tax and bank fraud changes as U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller mounted a fresh legal attack to strengthen his case against the men.

The new 32-count indictment adds to one filed Oct. 27 in Washington that charged the men with failing to disclose their political consulting work in Ukraine and laundering millions of dollars. Manafort’s attorneys had attacked that indictment by saying Mueller unfairly accused them of money laundering for failing to register their foreign lobbying work.

https://assets.documentcloud.org/doc...tment-EDVA.pdf

Manafort is looking at a life sentence in a federal prison.

I don't know about anyone else, comrades, but I've started to learn to speak the Russian as a good American boy yee-ha!

Flynn's case may not be so cut and dried as it appears. Seems more impropriety among the prosecution along with some hanky panky and maybe even flat out tampering with evidence may torpedo the whole enchilada.

Quote:

---

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Justice Emmet G. Sullivan, the new judge assigned to the case of Gen. Michael Flynn, has required Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller to hand over “exculpatory evidence” to Flynn’s defense team, in a sua sponte motion at the judge’s sole discretion that suggests Sullivan is considering seriously whether Flynn’s guilty plea should be reversed.

---

Quote:

---

Finally, on Feb. 14, 2014, Mueller asked Judge Sullivan to seal the information the special prosecutor’s team had handed over to Flynn’s defense.

The request by Mueller to seal the exculpatory material handed over to Flynn’s defense team suggests Flynn’s prosecution may have derived from the anti-Trump animus between FBI agent Peter Strzok (the FBI agent Flynn allegedly lied to) and Strzok’s lover, FBI agent Lisa Page.

---

Quote:

---

As an important backdrop to the case, in March 2017, then FBI Director James Comey briefed a number of Capitol Hill lawmakers on the “Russian Collusion” investigation and reportedly insisted he believed Flynn did not lie to the FBI.

As a result of that interview, the lawmakers interviewing Comey told reporters they came away with the impression Flynn would not be charged with a crime pertaining to his interview with the FBI on Jan. 24, 2017.

---

Kind of bad when even Comey the clown thinks you didn't break the law AND the judge has to order the prosecution to abide the law and turn over the prosecutions evidence.

This has been a shit show of corruption, favoritism, political assassination and trampling of justice by this special prosecutor and his staff of keystone cops. Not to mention a waste of money.

Says me and that's all the explanation you need.

Rocktar, you're a god damn traitor. If you have to go so far as to get with Alex Jones to defend trump from the scary CNN, then you're a fucking traitor.

Not sure why you're knocking Alex Jones, dude. The guy is just a humble water filter salesman who's trying to make an honest living.

Remember it was CNN who suggested that time travel may have played a role in a vanishing jetliner. There's really no difference between FOX, CNN or INFOWars, one of them is just a hell of a lot more entertaining.

The reason people aren't buying the Russia bullshit is because days before the election the Democrats were all like "no election tampering is going on, you're not a patriot if you don't accept the election results" to "REEEEEEussians tampered with the elections and you're a traitor if you believe otherwise!". To those of us that have raised children it's plainly obvious that the whole Russian story line is nothing but a Clinton temper tantrum.

The voters and the world are better off to ignore the whole thing, it's the best way to deal with a child that is kicking and screaming on the floor in the middle of Walmart.

It's worrying. Infowars, and sites like it, are poison. I guess the people behind sites like that operate on the "let the buyer beware" axiom which may give them a sense of not being responsible for who may become misinformed. Like that guy who walked into a pizza place with a loaded automatic rifle looking for a fabricated child pornography ring. The people pushing that story were not held responsible for his actions.

The war against reality has been waged by the current republican party for a while now. Their leaders are telling us not to trust scientists about global warming, not to trust journalists who have been vetted by their peers, not to trust institutions of higher learning, not to trust teachers who are telling us exactly what they want in the face of this gun violence crisis in this country, and to only listen to and trust what they say. In a crazy twist of irony they say not to trust the government while being the government.

The only real comfort we can take away from this situation is the fact that humanity does progress despite the pitfalls. Here we are at the peak of civilization with the most information disseminated to as many people ever in the history of time and there are still people claiming the world is flat. Truth will survive and we will survive because of it.

“There is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even — you could even rig America’s elections, in part, because they are so decentralized and the numbers of votes involved,” Obama said during a press conference at the White House in October 2016. “There is no evidence that that has happened in the past or that there are instances in which that will happen this time. And so I’d invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes.”

Hi Ernie. I don't say anything because its so simple. If you dont know its because you don't want to.

Trump got ahead of the story by claiming to be a victim of election rigging. We've all learned now that it was being rigged, but for trump and not by Obama but by his friends in Russia.

You think you won because your team won. The reality is that we all lost. Your loyalty is misspent on trump and you forget that first you are an American.

Former Trump campaign aide Rick Gates just admitted to lying to U.S. investigators about a March 19, 2013, meeting between his boss, Paul Manafort, and an unidentified U.S. congressman. Public filings show a meeting that day between Manafort and Dana Rohrabacher, a Russia-friendly Republican congressman from California.


Gates pleaded guilty Friday to conspiracy against the U.S. and making false statements about a meeting that day. In a criminal information unsealed Friday, he admitted that he’d withheld that the meeting included a discussion of Ukraine, where he and Manafort had done political consulting work.

This is pretty damning considering this prior event..


KIEV, Ukraine — A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.

Pardons don't cover state crimes and since a pardon forces the person to assume guilt any state crime filed against them would be incredibly difficult to fight.

No he can't. Mueller was appointed under the Justice Department, so he lacks the power. If Mueller had been a special counsel under Congress, that is a different story, but he isn't.

And even if he was indicted nothing would skip Congress, because the next step would be... Congress.

The memorandum to file drafted by Ambassador Rice memorialized an important
national security discussion between President Obama and the FBI Director and the Deputy
Attorney General. President Obama and his national security team were justifiably concerned
about potential risks to the Nation’s security from sharing highly classified information about
Russia with certain members of the Trump transition team, particularly Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
In light of concerning communications between members of the Trump team and Russian
officials, before and after the election, President Obama, on behalf of his national security team,
appropriately sought the FBI and the Department of Justice’s guidance on this subject. In the
conversation Ambassador Rice documented, there was no discussion of Christopher Steele or the
Steele dossier, contrary to the suggestion in your letter.

Well ,I mean, he is wrong. Mueller works for the Justice Department. Trump can fire him prior to any indictment.

If he was a special counsel for Congress, like Kenneth Starr was, different story.

And I think this guy knows better than Preet.

"Those hoping Mueller will prosecute Trump are steeped in fantasy, according to Paul Rosenzweig, a former deputy of Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel in the Whitewater real estate investments and Monica Lewinsky investigations during the Clinton administration."

I mean, I quoted someone else. Here, how about this..

Andrew Wright, who was an associate counsel to former President Barack Obama, told Newsweek earlier this year that constitutional law allowing criminal charges after a president's removal has widely been interpreted as suggesting the leader of the free world "might not be amenable to prosecution and indictment while they're in office."

Who will commit suicide by radioactive poison dart, jumping from a 1st story window, or beating self to death. The choices should be Manafort, Gates, Flynn, Papadapolous, Page, Various indicted Russians, Trump, Kushner etc...

I guess I'm not picking up on the tears. Conservatives know they are in a won, win, win, situation. Won being the killing of the mandate, win if Trump is impeached (a staunchly pro-life Pence) and a win if there continues to be no evidence.

Democrats are in checkmate, they must change their party plank or they will vanish from the political arena.

It's over dude, stfu and go make your paper, nobody wants to pay your way.

There's obviously evidence of collusion. I admire the message discipline though. The left doesn't have the same fierce tibal loyalty to stick with fake news talking points in the face of evidence
