There were a few instances during his testimony where Comey finessed his way around (legitimate) questions he was asked. Had the Republicans been more aware, or quicker on their feet, they might have caught him out.
Weâll see next time if they return to those answers of his.
McConnell, Ryan, Pence, and Donnie, Jr.?
So this is basically a Russian Mob investigation. Nobody enforces laws against organized crime like the FBI. I donât know why the Trump Organization thought they were immune to prosecution. Just because a bunch of racists voted for Donald doesnât absolve him of his sins against our Republic.
"âŚas well as Trumpâs contention that it should be a crime for subjects to âflipâ and cooperate with investigators.
âItâs a shocking suggestion coming from any senior official, no less the president. Itâs a critical and legitimate part of the entire justice system in the United States,â Comey said."
Dat may be da case, dere, Jimmy, butcha know, dis thing of ours has been workinâ pretty good for a long time. Ya know whad I mean?
Discussion: Comey: Probe Started With âFour Americans Who Had Some Connectionâ To Trump
Ya Think? No Discussion
Four Americans with ties to the Russian Mob and Trump? That would be his three wives and at least one of the daughters.
I believe Don Jr.'s emails prove the males in this crime family are much too stupid to pull off the bigger scams. Ivanka is reportedly the brains of the Trump Organization and learned everything from her Eastern European mother. Itâs the same thing with Melania who was tutored by her communist party father.
The Russian Mafia owns these people and they report into their masters regularly for orders.
Who will be tossed out of the red sled to keep the wolves away? Pence, Jr. and Erick for sure. Some are saying Lust Object will never be given up, but I wouldnât bet my silicone ass on it.
Jared, Junior, Manafort, Page? Flynn? Nader?
Bob ⌠Billybob ⌠Bobbybill ⌠and Mumphus â
" Just some people Iâve never known âŚ
and Iâve heard they canât even make coffee " â
"They are an example of somebody whoâs done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more, I notice. Most people donât even know they were Republicans, right?â
Well, just as a parlor game we have Papadopoulos drunksplaining his terrific international connections to the Aussies, Carter Page the attention-crazed squirrelly loon, Cohen and Sater, thatâs four for my fantasy collusionball team. Hell, Sater was an FBI informant for years; theyâd certainly keep an eye on him.
The pun embargo has been rescinded.
saying âwe have become numb to lying and attacks on the rule of law by the president,â as well as Trumpâs contention that it should be a crime for subjects to âflipâ and cooperate with investigators.
âItâs a shocking suggestion coming from any senior official, no less the president. Itâs a critical and legitimate part of the entire justice system in the United States,â Comey said.
An artful flip, just like in Olympic gymnastics, can land you a ten. Except from the Russian JudgeâŚheâs not a fan.
So here is my crazy idea about Jared and his âback channelâ scheme. What if it wasnât for intel from Russia but to be used to pay Trump or Trump Organization for the Trump Tower Moscow? And yes I know there are ways to channel money to offshore account but how easy is it bring it onshore when you need it? I keep thinking about that company that Fred set up for his kids, the one the supplied all the maintenance needs for his building, while all the while making non taxable gifts to his kids? If the financing was coming from a sanctioned Russian bank Trump would have to launder it somehow. And I think Trump is like Scrooge McDuck, he wants his money close to him.
I think their original plan was to lose the election, slink back into the bushes, and reap hundred of millions of dollars. I think they thought, incorrectly, that the FBI, law enforcement, and other branches of the IC would forget about them at that point -based on their previous experiences with the courts. In an alternate universe, it would have been interesting to see how that played out.
For all the frothing at the mouth from the âlock her upâ crowd, one of the ironies here is that if Trump walks on the campaign finance felony, its because the prosecutors may find it difficult to prove intent.
I think weâd all take that in a heartbeat.
Iâm sure it was just an honest acident â
Now see hereâthe term âsquirrellyâ might have been coined for Carter Page. As a metaphor itâs not meant to say anything about actual squirrels, actual loons, pun-besotted posters on TPM (âhard to swallow,â I ask you) or anyone else but Page himself. Whereâs he been lately anyway? Wised up finally?
