Re: Mueller's Russian Investigation

It appears more charges could be coming from this now that documents are out in the open.

Re: Mueller's Russian Investigation

SpaceNut,

More BS driveling out of the Democrat Party media machine?  How many times do you have to see this movie to know how it ends?  It didn't end the way you wanted it to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th, time, so why not try one more?

"The walls are closing in."

Remember that?

I do.

Yes, the walls of the minds of the Democrats are closing in.  Pretty soon there won't be room for any brain cells they have left.

Re: Mueller's Russian Investigation

The problem is that DOJ’s midnight filing shows ‘Trump is guilty’ of at least four crimes: ex-Mueller prosecutor indicates that Trump is guilty on espionage related charges; guilty on contempt of GJ subpoena; guilty on obstruction related charges and guilty on unlawful retention of govt docs not to mention more possibly as photographic evidence of these documents has revealed.

Trump recently opened his mouth and inserted his foot with regards to the Mar-a-Lago documents that he wanted to trade for all of the Russia related ones. witness-contradicts-theory-against-trump-dossier-analyst

37 document charges going in front of the Florida appointed judge.
(1) "The special counsel engaged in prosecutorial misconduct,"
(2) "The notes taken by Trump's lawyers cannot be used against him,"
(3) "Trump is immune from prosecution to the extent the indictment covers actions while Trump was president,"
(4) "My staff did it,"
(5) "no harm, no foul," and
(6) "whataboutism and selective prosecution."
(7) "delay to court tactics to get into the presidency and then stop and pardon himself of all charges.

Re: Mueller's Russian Investigation

SpaceNut,

Accusations do not make someone guilty of anything.

Are you really that clueless about how the justice system works?

Re: Mueller's Russian Investigation

...
Meek has been charged with no crime. But independent observers believe the raid is among the first — and quite possibly, the first — to be carried out on a journalist by the Biden administration. A federal magistrate judge in the Virginia Eastern District Court signed off on the search warrant the day before the raid. If the raid was for Meek’s records, U.S. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco would have had to give her blessing; a new policy enacted last year prohibits federal prosecutors from seizing journalists’ documents. Any exception requires the deputy AG’s approval.
...
Another resident, who works in law enforcement, says the muscle behind the raid was highly unusual. “The last time I heard about a SWAT team going into an apartment building was the crazy stuff in Navy Yard, and they had weapons and stuff,” the resident says of an operation three days after the Siena Park raid, in which two men were apprehended inside a luxury Navy Yard apartment building and charged with impersonating federal law enforcement. Unlike the Meek case, the Navy Yard raid was well-reported, and authorities said they seized a stockpile of weapons.
...

Meek has not been charged with a crime, because there is no crime.  People in government, in Biden's administration, who divulged classified information on our ongoing intelligence gathering operations, are the actual criminals.  This is another, "we don't like you because you're guilty of wrong-think or of showing the world what a bunch of shameless criminals those in government actually are, so now we're going to piss all over the Constitution and your rights, as an American citizen".

Is it obvious that the FBI is out-of-control, and that politics has subverted the pursuit of objective truth and justice for all.

This guy is presumably a liberal, but he's being persecuted by Democrats over something he probably had no clue he was "guilty of" until after the government "did it to him" (sent classified information to his computer).

Is it the least bit odd that a conservative Republican is speaking out against this sort of abuse of power against someone on the left?

Tenacity and Truth Telling, by Marian Sahakyan, Features Editor November 29, 2017, Interview with James Gordon Meek

...
What’s the best thing journalism has taught you?

One of the greatest lessons a life in journalism has imparted upon me is the value of keeping your word, because of the dividends paid throughout your life – not just in your work – by earning a reputation for integrity. Everyone is asked sooner or later to compromise their integrity and you can never surrender it wholesale. You should never ever compromise your byline (your name) or your integrity, because you carry both beyond this school or this job to the next job, up on the next marquee or your next stage in life. Once you have compromised your integrity and lost the trust of your peers or the public, hang up your trench coat and toss your press credential in the trash; you’ll never get back your honor or credibility.

Also, to really understand a subject, you have to maintain your objectivity and yet learn to put yourself in your subjects’ shoes. Eventually you may gain empathy, which is more valuable to a reporter than a pen.

What are some of the topics you enjoy reporting? Why?

I have covered rock and roll and politics and I loved both. But in the past decade terrorism and national security have dominated my reporting. (I also spent a few years as a senior counterterrorism adviser to a pair of congressional committee chairmen.)

As incredible as it may seem, in the past four years terrorism has become a more difficult subject to cover and maintain my own emotional health and morale. Man’s inhumanity to man finally met the smartphone in places such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, and exposure to the carnage and cruelty of warfare has increased exponentially in my work because it has become so easy to document and distribute globally. It is both a blessing and a curse. The blessing is being able to have a window on the battlefield; the drawbacks include lack of context and simple volume of cruelty and death imagery online.

What has kept me going in this “death beat” frankly has been finding those human stories in which I have been able to use my investigative assets to help a few people who have lost loved ones to the injustices of war find answers and accountability, and therefore to find peace. That has made reporting on the rest of the carnage almost bearable and has motivated me.
...
Is it hard to be a journalist today versus when you started?

I think that the shrinking media marketplace and profession of paid investigative journalism has made doing this for a living incredibly challenging. Some have said President Trump has helped grow that side of the business again. If that is true, it is an indictment of news organizations who didn’t need the election of Mr. Trump as a reason to maintain investigative journalism essential to the public interest, and yet many newsrooms shut down and laid off investigative teams over the past decade.

In other words, the need was always there and beefing up or restarting investigative teams to prove the Trump administration is corrupt is itself an example of a corrupt bias in my opinion, because the need for public accountability and watchdogs is always there regardless of who is in power. ABC News to its credit has maintained a robust and aggressive team for two decades under Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross and Executive Producer Rhonda Schwartz.

The other major difference for those of us covering national security is that the legal and professional risks to our sources in government have been elevated by stepped up federal leak investigations and prosecutions intruding on journalists doing their jobs and those who help us keep the government and institutions honest. The public interest hasn’t changed but transparency has become more and more clouded in government operations.

What’s one advice you’d give a future journalist?

Don’t expect to make any money being a newsperson. Expect to work 70-hour weeks for little pay. Don’t take up this profession because you “like to write,” you’ll just be getting in the way of those who have genuine passion for covering the events and the personalities of our times and want to better the lives of the downtrodden and powerless.

I used to work at a small but respected legal newspaper. The end of the year came and they informed the staff that nobody was going to get a raise or bonus because this profitable newspaper couldn’t afford it. Instead, in a tone-deaf move, managers gave staffers hoodies stamped with the masthead emblem and on the back was a quote by Mother Teresa: “Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself.”

The sentiment was true even if management’s gesture was tacky. To be a good reporter, you have to become a warrior monk.

This crap has been going on at least since Bush ("Dubya"), and it continues because Democrats find it convenient when their own illegal activities fall under public scrutiny.

Re: Mueller's Russian Investigation

An Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals three-judge panel, two of whom were appointed by Donald Trump, unanimously rejected a claim by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham that he is immune from being questioned in an investigation related to the former president's efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Graham must now provide testimony before a grand jury investigating whether Trump and some of his top allies attempted to influence the 2020 election in Georgia.

The panel, which included Trump appointees Judge Kevin Newsom and Judge Britt Grant, ruled that Graham can be questioned by Fulton County prosecutors about his conversations with Georgia officials, pushing back against his claim that he is protected by privilege under speech and debate clause, according to Politico.

Prosecutors want to ask Graham about his phone call with Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger that happened weeks after the 2020 presidential election, the Associated Press reported. Raffensperger said that Graham asked about whether he had the authority to reject certain absentee ballots.

Jan. 6 panel issues subpoena to Trump, demanding he testify

The subpoena demands his testimony under oath by Nov. 14.

Re: Mueller's Russian Investigation

SpaceNut,

Your Democrats' Russian Collusion Hoax 2.0 has already run its course.  There's no there there.  Democrats might want to fixate on how they're going to sell the idea to the American people on the idea that what they're presently doing is good for the country.

Bill Clinton said your party only needed to find people to "say the right thing" in his interview with Fareed Zakaria.  I think most Americans who are not ideologically mentally disabled are wondering why Bill Clinton doesn't think his fellow Democrats only need to "DO THE RIGHT THING".  Nobody outside your favored political party is buying into their nonsense anymore.

Re: Mueller's Russian Investigation

US Politics is a dirty dirty game, trying to look at it impartially I think maybe Clinton Hillary did not expect Trump to be a serious candidate in 2016, she probably thought her challengers were Sanders and the Bush family, perhaps a 'Russiagate' rumor was prepared but any mud slinging or personal attack would have originally targeted Bernie Sanders, the Republican Jeb Bush or Joe Biden, when Trump won they were unprepared to they ran with this ridiculous Steele less confident about the salacious pee urine tape episode gossip featuring gossip about Prostitutes and a bed where an President was sleeping, the newspapers then ran with the gossip. Christopher David Steele was born in the Yemeni city of Aden, a British former intelligence officer with the Secret Intelligence Service MI6 from the 80s until his retirement in 2009.  The whole thing read like 4chan twitter gossip but Steele said it was true, he  avoided on-camera interviews until he participated in an ABC News documentary that was aired on Hulu in October 2021. Steele maintained that his sources were credible and that it was typical in intelligence investigations to "never get to the point where you're 99% certain of the evidence to secure a conviction". Steele also acknowledged that one of his sources had faced repercussions; he confirmed that the source was still alive. There were many other 'events' like this which had Trump almost in a state of war against the media from day one.

Re: Mueller's Russian Investigation

Populism the movement of political election program that champions, or claims to champion the ordinary person, they claim they will defend the voice of the common person among other claims. Populist leaders show them themselves as outsiders more in touch with the people, they are not like other politicians they are political people who know the farms and the word on the street, a new populist person or people running for election who are separate from the "elite".

Re: Mueller's Russian Investigation

The US Department of Justice, under United States Attorney General Merrick Garland, who was appointed by Democrat Party President Joseph Biden, has found that the entire Russian collusion hoax / fraud, perpetrated against the American people to interfere with our 2016 Presidential Election Campaign.

The Russian collusion fraud was created by Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential Election Campaign, initiated by a Russian foreign national working for Fusion GPS while being paid for lies rendered by Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential Election Campaign, and aided by now-fired former FBI Director James Comey, who was appointed by Democrat Party President Barrack Obama.

The US DoJ and FBI shut down multiple investigations into 2016 Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's election campaign and The Clinton Foundation, which identified numerous illegal foreign-sourced campaign contributions in Hillary Clinton's bid to become President.

Meanwhile, the fraudulent investigation using fabricated "evidence" of "Russian collusion" was then used by the FBI, under then Democrat President Obama, to illegally spy on Republican President Trump's 2016 Presidential election campaign.  President Nixon illegally spied on the Democrats, so President Obama illegally spied on the Republicans.  Turnabout is "fair play", decades after the fact?

Then FBI Director James Comey was the one who pushed President Obama's administration to sign off on the illegal spying activities.  Then FBI Director James Comey and other ring leaders of this criminal cabal instructed their Special Agents not to write down any of their notes on the Russian collusion fraud, because they were afraid that recording their crimes would garner criminal prosecution for their seditious behavior.

The "pee tape" turned out to be a complete and total fabrication of the Democrats.  No such event ever transpired, so far as the FBI and US DoJ are aware, because President Trump never stayed at the particular Ritz-Carlton hotel where the alleged incident transpired.

Multiple FBI agents refused to cooperate with John Durham and divulge what they were aware of, and when they were aware of it.  This can only be a case of personal political ideology overriding their objectivity and ability to faithfully serve the American people as Special Agents in the FBI.

JUSTICE IS NOT BLIND.  JUSTICE IS COMPLETELY POLITICAL WHENEVER DEMOCRATS ARE IN CHARGE.

Re: Mueller's Russian Investigation

This America turning inward and attacking itself is not coming from Joe Stalin or Mao, it now comes from within the USA.

It is amazing how politics divided, I don't support a guy running, I don't tell people to support a candidate and if you ask me I personally I think Trump has flaws like ego and narcissism but people in America are free to pick who like they can be good or bad leaders it is their free choice. I'm not a Trump supporter even if I was voting on something I don't vote only on some rare event, if I was to vote I might even spoil a vote in protest and I'm not in the USA so I have nobody to back. Personally I seen a little of Nixon and Carter in 'Trump', maybe how the media also disliked them also but what I found truly incredible is how much media hated Trump on day one and people bought the news propaganda.

The shocking thing about it all is how America so so divided and 'political'

It seems some 'White' guy went Ministry of Truth 'Stasi KGB' and tried to report and warn a drive through restaurant and alert them about a Trump supporter

maybe so he would get bad service?

https://twitter.com/CitizenFreePres/sta … 8198174724
Watch until the end.
White Lib Savior learns a lesson.

When the guy learns the Trump supporter is a guy of mixed Mexican heritage, he apparently screamed his family would get deported assuming the voter was not a 'citizen'

Crazy divided times

More people at least 50% disapprove of both Biden and Trump, one of them might win but poll surveys showing many Americans don't want either Biden or Trump to run again what will so much divide media politics do for America?


Did Trump do something illegal with documents?

In her 2019 book, What Do We Need Men For?: A Modest Proposal, Carroll accused Les Moonves and Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her in the mid-1990s. Both Moonves and Trump denied the allegations.
She also did some strange sexual relationship gossip stuff and books and advice on swinging and other liberal free love activity,  Elizabeth Jean Carroll is equally as strange as 'Trump' gossip if not stranger, she had the website greatboyfriends dot com with her sister, Cande Carroll. On the site, women trade exs or recommended their ex-boyfriends to each other.

So, the Witch Hunt continues! 19 people Indicated tonight, including the former President of the United States, me, by an out of control and very corrupt District Attorney who campaigned and raised money on, “I will get Trump.” And what about those Indictment Documents put out today, long before the Grand Jury even voted, and then quickly withdrawn? Sounds Rigged to me! Why didn’t they Indict 2.5 years ago? Because they wanted to do it right in the middle of my political campaign. Witch Hunt!
