Deputy Head of FBI. Hated by Trump because his wife was a Democratic Politician who allegedly received $700,000 in political funding support and therefore seen to be biased by Trump.

Because Trump told Sessions who told Wray who told Macabre "you're retiring early". Only Mueller left to get rid of then Trump's FBI purge is complete

I think that Trump is in the process of politicising federal justice in the USA. First he stacked the federal judiciary at all levels, now he is removing or forcing out the senior management of the FBI and justice department that are not loyal to him. It is nothing new, it is what all those who gain power through the ballot but that are corrupt and seek to become 'president for life' do. Donny has already told us that he sees nothing wrong in suspending elections in 2020 and his supporters will back him and they have guns.

That's not really the same, the two FBI agents who were dismissed by Mueller for the remarks were actually talking about how to find the best way to impeach trump, they were talking about meetings of a secret society and they were talking about an accomplice called Andy.

Story with 'No Legs' latest...

New allegations are now emerging of a money trail through the NRA, (that right folks, that bastion of American Constitutional freedom, the National Rifle Association) directly from Russia to the Trump campaign. Now we have a credible explanation for where the NRA got all that money to pump into Donny's campaign.

Question: Will the GOP stick with donnyboy and hope that they can stay in power regardless of what else emerges before the mid terms? Or will they throw the tangerine racist under the bus, impeach him and try to claim they have changed?

I think my money is now on them sticking with him as I think the impeachment window is closing too rapidly for them to be able to finish the process of removing him and those too badly tainted by him and regroup prior to November.

30 days prison and $20,000 fine.

Of course the 30 days nick means loss of licence to practice law in any part of the USA and that will have a knock on effect across the rest of the world. So that's his career gone too.

the fbi have raided his offices today and have taken records of conversations between him and trump... also they are talking about potential bank fraud, wire fraud and election spending

trump must be going livid... especially since he basically opened when he opened his mouth on stormy on thursday...

i would not be surprised if trump now tries to change the story... i am guessing one of a few things will happen....

1) massive air raid on syria.......

2) he tries to fire dept AG rosenstein to try to get to mueller.....

All of this is effectively a waste of time. Trump is a snake oil salesman who worked out the correct words and the correct order to say them in to appeal to white, christian bigots. And as long as he keeps saying these things and Fox keeps broadcasting his lies as fact,he could literally get away with murder. If Mueller finds any dirt on him it will be denounced by conservatives as a biased political which hunt and continue to support him. Christian fundamentalists are already finding justification in thier magic book to excuse his numerous affairs, just as they did Roy Moore.. as long as he keeps feeding into thier narative he could bugger a goat on the Whitehouse Lawn on the 4th of July dressed as Hitler and they'd give him a round of applause.

True, but evidence discovered in a federal grand jury can be passed to state prosecutors.

Latest news!

Muller has proof that Trumps personal lawyer Cohan lied to congress about going to Prague in 2016 so is now the subject of criminal investigation. Wonder what else the FBI raids have turned up? And it is no wonder Trump wants to fire Muller, all that is needed now is proof that Cohen met with the Russian while there to prove Trump actively colluded with Russia. It will be interesting to hear how the evangelical right will spin having elected a whore fucking traitor to the office of president? Or will they continue to bury their collective head in the sand?

Anyone remember that meeting in Trump Tower with the Russians...

Seems a whole raft of emails between the Russian lawyer and the Kremlin have been released by an anti Putin group...

Apparently they show that not only was she acting for the Kremlin but that the Trump team knew and may even have been in direct contact with Putin or his inner circle. Added to that the fact that Trump basically torpedoed his own legal case to stop the fed getting access to Cohen's records and that Cohen used to record all meetings and has kept all old phones it looks as if Donny's meltdown on Fax yesterday may be because he knows that PC999 is about to come knocking with the bracelets and an invitation for the Trumpsters to spend some time in a small room with a spy-hole in the door, a toilet in the corner and a camera to record them using it...

A centipede has less legs than this story.

Mueller has done an absolutely phenomenal job in less than a year to get the charges and convictions hes had. And we can all see the noose getting tighter and tighter. The only thing to consider is if the Dems want to impeach after the midterms or neuter his agenda and keep him for annhilation in 2020.

That's fake news.

The opcw were prevented firstly by the bombing by us UK and France the night before they were due and then secondly by a un task force which reported a "large crowd at the first site" and came under "small arms fire" at the second site.

The Russians have been vetoing the joint investigative body that the Americans were insisting came with the opcw investigation.

This particular body is a long standing argument between Russia and the USA.

if you are going to post then please don't try and insult peoples inteligence... and please don't lie...

you see... the wording of the UN resolution was this...

""the Council would established the United Nations independent mechanism for an initial period of one year. It would request the Secretary-General to make recommendations about the mechanism including its terms of reference, based on the principles of impartiality, independence and professionalism, to identify those responsible for the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

Condemning the use of such weapons in the strongest terms, the Council would also have expressed full support for the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) fact-finding mission, which was already investigating the Douma incident. It calls on all parties in Syria to fully cooperate with both investigations and allow them immediate, unfettered, safe and secure access to all relevant witnesses, evidence, reporting, materials and sites"

this is exactly the same organisation with the same set up that was in place in syria for 18 months until its mandate ran out in november...

.

The long standing argument is exactly that, the joint investigative committees into the findings of khan sheikehouns alleged gas attack, in which the committee freely excepts they found Syria guilty without ever actually going to the site!.

Now the Russians want that joint investigative committee separated from the opcw.

Nobody.

No lies no insulting intelligence, I just simply corrected your statement that the Russians and Syrians had blocked the opcw for "17 days".

And as I said before the opcw has not found any traces of anything in the supposed chemical factories bombed by the USA UK and France.

Wants more, that news hasn't even been reported anywhere from what I can Google.

This is essentially a select committee made up of 2 parties where one party said the investigation is over, and the other party said more investigation is needed.

Nothing to do with the intervention in Libya was anything to do with a select committee investigation.

Also as mentioned, the more important investigation is the special prosecutor Mueller. Again, the decision to intervene in Libya had nothing to do with a special prosecutor.

No, that was the conclusion of the republicans on the Senate intelligence committee. The democrats said that the investigation hadn't been completed.

Still Mueller is the big investigation..

Ah that's a bit like the intelligence on Libya then that turned out 5 years later in parliament to be complete bollocks

How is that similar?

Perhaps you realise it's not similar at all anymore. .

Yes no yes, it's very similar

How? .

Why do you think it's different

This is essentially a select committee made up of 2 parties where one party said the investigation is over, and the other party said more investigation is needed.

Nothing to do with the intervention in Libya was anything to do with a select committee investigation.

Also as mentioned, the more important investigation is the special prosecutor Mueller. Again, the decision to intervene in Libya had nothing to do with a special prosecutor. .

Nah

Glad you see you have finally recognised they are not in the slightest bit similar .

Nah, your wrong there just the same"

just a quick point of correction needed... it was the house intelligence committee that wrote it and only the republican half...

the senate intelligence committee are also producing their own report.. and theirs is still bi-partisan....

anyway mueller is going to be a huge deal, there is no one out there who believes he isn't going to be charges with "obstruction of justice" at least... it will be what else they will try and charge him with... for example perjury,

I think the raid on Cohen was the cause for this latest and unexpected turn of events. Trump has likely been advised of the least worst option, which is for the lie to come out now whilst there is time before Cohen’s prosecution for things to die down. The alternative would be to cling on to the lie until it later comes out in open court (or worse) as part of an even bigger pile of shit.

Getting shit out of the way whilst you can control it, is better than it coming out when the narrative can’t be controlled.

No legs story latest...

Cohen (Trumps lawyer) collected millions for access to the President. The payments were made in instalments so as not to trigger federal payments disclosure requirements and justice department corruption investigations...

No wonder Trump and his mates on the hill are trying to suppress the Muller investigation and the evidence it has uncovered so far.

Slightly juicier than that...

Remember that the Donald has only just acknowledged that he did actually pay back Cohen the $130,000... Reason likely admitting this is because the $130,000 that Cohen paid to Daniels came from his “Essential Consultants” Account and that account received millions of dollars from corporate entities including an aluminium company with ties to Vladimir Putin.

Had Donald not admitted that he paid Cohen back then there would be a trail of money from Russia, through Trump’s Attorney to a hush payment made on behalf of Trump.

This is totally separate and includes $1.35 million paid by the Russian oligarch who was served with a subpoena and interviewed when he flew into a private NY airport earlier in the year and a $1.2 million payment by AT&T while their takeover bid of Time Warner was being investigated by Trumps DoJ (AT&T's lawyers have confirmed they made the payments that added up to this amount as has the Russian).

14 months into this no legs story and there have been 23 indictments so far.

Now it looks extremely likely that Cohen is about to face the same charges as Flynn and Manafort of failing to declare that he was acting as an agent for a foreign business or government and multiple fraud counts. As well as this it also looks as if he had undeclared, unethical and potentially illegal ties with the lawyer who first represented Stormy Daniels and at least one other female who had sex with Trump, so I am guessing that we can guess who indictee No 25 will be. I wonder who will make it to No 26? And will Trump (who always claims to be the tippy top No 1) make it to the top 40?

"A federal grand jury handed down new charges Friday against former Donald Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who already faces five felony charges and was accused in court documents Monday of attempted witness tampering in his case.

Manafort was charged Friday with conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstruction of justice. He was previously charged with conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, unregistered agent of a foreign principal, false and misleading FARA statements, and false statements."

the problem for manifort with the allegations of "witness tampering" is you wouldn't be able to bring that sort of charge unless that had evidence you were doing it.... and the people who he was alledged to have tried to tamper are co-operating....

also... the sentence for the tampering crime is the same as if you had done the actual crime deed itself....

They have people he contacted who have already given evidence to say that he tried to tamper with their statements. They also have phone records and messages sent over the encrypted chat app Telegram. Sadly for Manafort encryption doesnt matter if the other person just shows it to the feds.

Muellers clearly aiming to get Manafort to flip. The way he's handled him is text book stuff. Manafort faces the potential of spending the rest of his life in jail, cooperating or taking a pardon.

Jails not gonna suit him too well. Cooperating would likely see him serve a little jail time bit not much, but would also probably bring down Trump (because Mueller isnt going to deal unless its someone that matters).

If he takes a pardon things get interesting. He'd be admitting guilt, he'd still be vulnerable to state charges and he would lose his 5th amendment rights because he cant incriminate himself on an issue hes already admitted guilt for.

Cohens been trying to get Trump to pay his legal bills but Trump hasnt done it so far. Cohens alledgedly struggling to pay them but if that is true its probably cash flow as he has been a part of 8 figure property deals.

Either way it seems that Cohen is unhappy with whats perceived to be a lack of support and resigning today is obviously designed to show his unhappiness.

It looks like Trump better help his fixer or he could flip soon.

No Centy. There is a reason that CinC Bonespurs President Fart is now claiming he can sack Mueller and run the probe himself. He knows that Mueller already has the evidence (supplied by his own lawyers) to convict Junior and Kushner of of conspiring with a foreign power to interfere in the 2016 election and I expect that it is only a matter of time until Mueller produces the smoking gun that proves Senior knew everything from the start. The fact that the only time the Special Councils Office releases any information is when they file indictments and there have 24 unsealed indicted so far speaks volumes.

But you keep the faith with the racist squatting in the Oval Office and every time the noose is tightened round his traitorous neck we will remind you of exactly who you are so quick to support.

The Russian collusion story didn’t go any further today.... but the campaign finance violations story did... so we can say stormy Daniels and karen mcdougall were right all along, and Cohen said under oath that trump directed him to commit the crimes

If Trump gets charged because of Cohen then he is going to be in big trouble because the monetary nature of the charge mean that Discovery will force Trump to reveal his financial records. That will be a very big problem for Trump because it is inconceivable that his financial records will be squeaky clean.

Anyone who has experience of the American legal system knows that the Discovery process can dig out many more misdemeanours than the charge that originally brought the need for Discovery.

I can actually see Trump ending up behind bars at the end of all this and my guess it will be for money laundering and/or tax avoidance - some kind of financial crime.

I think Trump will go as far as attempting to cancel elections and may even start a second civil war to avoid being held to account for his actions.

I did hear an interesting comment today. Although there may be a prohibition on a sitting president being indited by federal authorities there is no such protection for the Trumpsters business and it is the Trump organisation that made 1 of the payments.

Do we now know why Trump considered investigating his businesses to be a red line for the Mueller probe?

Lt Gen's who conspire with 'Hostile Foreign Powers' to corrupt elections, subvert foreign policy and undermine public confidence in the probity of the government to the benefit of that 'Hostile Foreign Power' would in my view most certainly be guilty of Treason. Regardless of how successful the conspiracy was the offence is absolute, and that is because of the breaking of the oath to defend ones country.

This is just my opinion, but I suspect it is shared by every man and woman who has sworn an 'Oath of Allegiance' to any country.

you know we love coming back to this thread..... but just keep an eye on the story buzzfeed news put out last night alledging the president told cohen to lie to the congress about the dealings regarding the trump tower moscow project....

because if it is true.... and it has some corroboration from other sources, then not only is that a slam dunk for "obstruction of justice".... but more importantly that is also be Subornation of Perjury, which is a biggie!

basically.... in effect that's what they got President Nixon for in Watergate!

if true, there is no way that republican lawmakers could justify standing in the way of any impeachment

Fake news seemingly. Seemed a bit dodgy to me when only one news outlet came out with it - and it being not a traditionally reliable one.

So one thing not been mentioned in this thread is the Manaforts lawyers didnt redact a document properly and revealed that Manafort shared polling info with the Russians. Thats collusion right there.

Giulliani saying this week that the only one that definitely didnt collude was trump is the defence trying to set the ground for the argument that the campaign might have colluded but not Trump. Im guessing Giulliani knows something thats coming up soon.

So much for the collusion story not having legs.

The two journalists who wrote the story have been writing about the Trump Tower story for a while and theyve been consistently ahead of the pack on this.

Also if you'd read the story you'd know that they have 2 sources.

And if you read Muellers Offices reply they didnt say the whole thing was wrong but that specific statements and charachtrisations were innaccurate. But that could be a tactical response.

This may turn out to be wrong but for the moment Buzzfeed is standing by its story. Its a false equivalency to compare it to the likes of Alex Jones who testified that he plays a character and is entertainment instead of news but then promotes easily disproved conspiracy theories.

Ill defer to Muellers statement unless something changes. Im asduming its not true, or at least that Muellers office doesnt have evidence of this. But its still a false equivalency to compare buzzfeed to the likes of Alex Jones and it was factually wrong to day the story wasnt corroborated by a second source when it was.

I think it could well be Rudy for witness intimidation (after the Cohan comments). Or could it be big net time for Kushner, Ivanka, Don Jr and VP Pence.

I do wonder, if Muller has proof the Pres is really dirty, would he just arrest Trump, charge him with treason making public the evidence against him and dare the GOP to defend a traitor. I get the feeling that Muller is capable of being that unbending.

Exciting isn't it, what was it 26 armed feds, 17 vehicles and CNN recording the whole event. A tad over the top for a 70 year old guy without any firearms in his home and his wife present. Drug cartels don't even get that sort of treatment.

other than CNN recording it actually there is a prefectly explanable reason as to why it happened this way,

the reasoning being is that there was also a SWAT team at the same time outside his new york home with a search warrant

in most cases he would have been asked to appear at a certain time, but the FBI thought is that had happened he would have destroyed any potential evidence they thought he may still have....... or he would have called to new york for someone to do the same thing...

He's had two years to destroy the evidence!! That's the biggest crock of shit I've ever heard, his main indictments are for lying to a Congressional hearing, he's in his 60s and the judge didn't even consider him a flight risk as he was bailed without even handing over money.

This is the power of the state intimidating its own citizens.

They've had two and a half years, three if you include the illegal FISA warrants before he was even elected and got zero evidence for collision, they've got people for lying, tax evasion, and S&M sexual activity which is standard politican behaviour .

You'd dig up more with a probe this size and a 3 year investigation of the conservative or Labour party.

Think the difference between Stone and Richards is with the latter they were looking for evidence and didn't find any to charge him, whereas with Stone they had enough to charge him and were looking for more..

The media aspect with Stone probably has links to the Fbi being slagged off by Trump and them yes wanting to put pressure on but will possibly justify the media being theriwith the nature of possible collusion with Russia..

Fabio, we are now getting to the point where Trump's boast that he could murder someone outside Trump Tower in broad daylight and his base would still support him is coming into sharp relief. The thing I find strange is how many of his ultra right-wing patriotic nationalists seem now to be preparing to defend his treason with the 'commies' enemy.

That will be one hell of a mindfuck for them when they are eventually forced to confront it.

Except three things, none of his indictments are for this, there for telling lies to a Congressional hearing (quick somebody get Clinton she told right whoppers in the Benghazi hearing).

Wikileaks deny getting them from Russia and wikileaks don't need a middle man, they publish material they get from whistle blowers, last time I looked everything they published about the DNC emails was true, if anything Hillary Clinton and the DNC defrauded the Sanders guy by stealing 200 million of his donations and Hillary Clinton and the DNC were the ones who payed the Russians for information on trump while the untied states intelligence agencies illegally(have we seen the FISA evidence yet?) spied on its own citizens (trump and manafort).

It's been two years and they've found zero evidence for collusion, Mueller is about to wrap it up apparently but I've no doubt it will be dragged along to the 2020 campaign for more propaganda of bombshell breaking news.

ooooh.... interesting spin.... few holes in there though old sport...

1) the indictment suggests "someone" at wikileaks (Assange) was in contact with stone.... who was in contact with the trump campaign...

2) the trump campaign then knew that files were going to be released, but stone told them (he may not of know exactly what, but knew stuff was coming)

3) when trump gave the "russia can you hear me, find the clinton e-mails" speech... the GRU tried to hack the DNC servers again the same day!

4) the FISA warrants were not being used to spy on manafort.... they were being used to spy on the russian ambassador, who happened to be talking to manafort!!!!

5) the only people who believe clinton lied at all are the alt right crowd... are you one of them? just because even at the end of countless republican based enquiries, they found nothing.....

they have proof manafort lied, the have proof stone lied, they had proof of manafort witness tampering, which is why he pleaded guilty to it in the washington DC case... they have proof stone was witness tampering with all the text messages they published in the indictment!!!

Wikileaks deny getting them from Russia and wikileaks don't need a middle man, they publish material they get from whistle blowers, last time I looked everything they published about the DNC emails was true, if anything Hillary Clinton and the DNC defrauded the Sanders guy by stealing 200 million of his donations and Hillary Clinton and the DNC were the ones who payed the Russians for information on trump while the untied states intelligence agencies illegally(have we seen the FISA evidence yet?) spied on its own citizens (trump and manafort).

It's been two years and they've found zero evidence for collusion, Mueller is about to wrap it up apparently but I've no doubt it will be dragged along to the 2020 campaign for more propaganda of bombshell breaking news.

ooooh.... interesting spin.... few holes in there though old sport...

1) the indictment suggests "someone" at wikileaks (Assange) was in contact with stone.... who was in contact with the trump campaign...

2) the trump campaign then knew that files were going to be released, but stone told them (he may not of know exactly what, but knew stuff was coming)

3) when trump gave the "russia can you hear me, find the clinton e-mails" speech... the GRU tried to hack the DNC servers again the same day!

4) the FISA warrants were not being used to spy on manafort.... they were being used to spy on the russian ambassador, who happened to be talking to manafort!!!!

5) the only people who believe clinton lied at all are the alt right crowd... are you one of them? just because even at the end of countless republican based enquiries, they found nothing.....

they have proof manafort lied, the have proof stone lied, they had proof of manafort witness tampering, which is why he pleaded guilty to it in the washington DC case... they have proof stone was witness tampering with all the text messages they published in the indictment!!!

"

.

I suggest you actually watch the Clinton Benghazi hearing on C-SPAN yourself before making assertions that she didn't lie to a Congressional hearing (I mean she does like a bit of sniper fire in Bosnia as well ).

I never said manafort didn't lie or stone or Flynn, what I said was this is how the state works, they crush you into financial Oblivion while crushing you with federal "crimes" I mean there's 500,000 federal crimes in America, they could probably get you on about twenty if they wanted they just choose not to because your of no consequence to them.

We don't know about the FISA warrants because they've been redacted and classified, a few senators who have seen them seem to think contrary to your claim and why would wikileaks be in contact with Roger stone? Assange denies all of it.

The DNC servers have never been under FBI scrutiny or NSA or CIA it was all done by a third party private company called crowd strike, they have no proof that would stand up in court that it was Russia or the GNU that hacked the DNC.

They have no evidence at all that trump was in cahoots with ANYBODY let alone the Russians, how do I know this? Because there indictmenting people like Roger stone over witness tampering and lying to a Congressional hearing while sending dozens of armed officers in dawn raids to an old man's house, lord knows what dilemma the left would have been in if there'd shot his wife!.

"Well well well zero evidence of collusion?."

According to a GOP partisan report that has refused to look at a lot of evidence or interview many witnesses and refused to pass its transcripts to Mueller. And is now having a collective fit because the house has reopened its investigation and passing its work over to the Special Council. So maybe not so much evidence of zero collusion, but more evidence of how systemically corrupt the GOP has become in the era of the 'Tea Party' and Trump.

They have access to every intelligence interception,300,000 documents that are classified, in their own words zero evidence of collusion!.

Mueller has found zero evidence of collusion.

Maybe your right and the evidence is there but yet not found, maybe it's a giant conspiracy like the flat earth

You must be following a different investigation than me, because from where I am sitting I have heard 1 judge tell 1 former Trump national security advisor that in the judges view he should have been charged with treason. Another has been found to have been passing information to and coordinating with the Russians. So many have been found to have lied to various investigation to cover up the above. I have also noted that with the exception of Flynn as the indictments flow out the charges and jail time get more serious. I expect it is only a matter of time before the treason charges come and that he knows the noose is tightening round him. That is the reason Trump and the GOP are in full attack mode.

I can't see either surviving Trump or his family facing treason indictments regardless of pardon powers being used to stop any cases going to trial.

It's possible, the one I'm following is a bipartisan one where as the one you appear to be following is one made of bias republicans hell bent on conspiracy?.

Now that this investigation is coming to a close. I'm not sure what the end result is good for some bad for others. It took two years to conclude, goodness knows how much money and for what?

Is it now time to start an investigation into the dealings of the Clintons, particularly HRC?

Actually the Grand Jury has just been extended by six months, so the drawing to a close may be a little premature. Secondly this investigation has cost the US tax payer nothing, in fact I believe that when the fines imposed and the value of property sized is fully realised that it is in profit to the tune of some $46 million. Thirdly, 2 years is very quick for a special investigation. The Clinton Whitewater investigation took 4 years and cost $60 million, Watergate took 3 1/2 years and the Iran Contra investigation took over 6 years.

He's had two years to destroy the evidence!! That's the biggest crock of shit I've ever heard, his main indictments are for lying to a Congressional hearing, he's in his 60s and the judge didn't even consider him a flight risk as he was bailed without even handing over money.

This is the power of the state intimidating its own citizens.

They've had two and a half years, three if you include the illegal FISA warrants before he was even elected and got zero evidence for collision, they've got people for lying, tax evasion, and S&M sexual activity which is standard politican behaviour .

You'd dig up more with a probe this size and a 3 year investigation of the conservative or Labour party."

This is going to come as a disappointment to our favourite tin foil hat wearer bob.... but it look as if the Feds are saying in further information given that stone DID have direct communication with wikileaks.... and more interesting DID have direct communication with gucifer 2, which is the Russians who hacked the DNC emails

So disappointing...........

So that link between stone, Russia, wikileaks and the trump campaign... hmmmmm

I'm wondering what excuses and conspiracy theories the likes of Fabio will come out with when Trump wins a 2nd term as President.
