âhe thanked his potential donors for their âsupportâ and âbeliefâ in his âcause.ââ
His cause being to make money laundering legal.
These clowns have no respect for the constitution, the rule of law or anything that America stands for. They are only for themselves and the all mighty dollar.
Must be maddening to know you have millions stashed away in offshore accounts but canât tap into any of it lest the authorities- who have your life under a financial microscope- nail you for lying and tax evasion. Canât even give your wife the account numbers to head to Grand Cayman or Bermuda or Cyprus, because 1) she might not come back or 2) the feds might give her a ride back from the airport.
Both Manafort and Gates are playing a very dangerous game. When a District Court judge issues an order, they expect it to be obeyed. Keep poking that tiger cage, what could possibly go wrong??
They have gotten away with so much for so long that they believe they will get away with it this time, too. The memory of Judge Sirica pulling the loose thread that unraveled Watergate should frighten them.
Defendant mustâŚindicate whether Burkmanâs comments are being made at his direction or the direction of his counsel. The Court emphasizes that it is not intimating that the creation of a legal defense fund or the expression of personal views by third parties not acting at the behest of the defense would violate its order.
Seems likely that that Gates and his attorneys will say that Burkmanâs comments were his own and not âdirected byâ or âat the behest ofâ Gates or his associates. The only problem with that is â itâs probably not true.
They donât seem to know that when a judge says gag it has nothing to do with the urge to vomit.
Stupid, stupid people, or very desperate people, but Iâm guessing both.
Itâs like all the other âdisruptiveâ types â the law doesnât apply if you do it using the intertubes.
Just tell the Judge listen up buddy I am a Republican and the law does not apply to Republicans so fuck off. Just like children testing the limits.
I see from the screen grab this was one of those rare instances it can be unequivocally stated Rick Gates was, indeed, âThe smartest guy in the room.â
Only if he set the camera on a tripod and didnât use a cameraman.
So much for my one shot at being astute. Thanks for nothinâ.
Washingtonian has an article up about the âfundraiser.â More journalists showed up than Gates supporters
I wonder if that judge is in the bag. Gates, confined to home, signed up to be a coach on his kidâs sports team. Jeez, she keeps scolding them. Theyâre not toddlers. Slam the lid down on both of them.
These Russian assets have no respect for the constitution, the rule of law or anything that America stands for. They are only for themselves and the all mighty dollar. And for the dissolution of this nation, per Poo-Pooâs orders.
