Russia Investigation Heating Up

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.

The bitch of all this is that no matter what's uncovered, it won't mean shit if GOP has a halfway decent midterm

Mueller could indict Trump directly and skip Congress.

Notice how you say nothing about obummer's stance on election rigging. Because you can't.

President Obama is correct, you can't successfully rig the election. It is still a crime to try, and it is still a crime to solicit, accept, or receive any kind of aid from a foreign national. Happy to help.

SDNY also is going to factor into this. Apparently pardon power doesn't extend to their jurisdiction.

That's a bold statement. You talking literally?

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.

I can't read it because I'm on the bus heading home from work and its bouncy af, but let me hazard a guess. Does it say something like the incoming admin is corrupt?

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.

I swear, all you libtards must really want Pence to be President.
