Ohh ohh can I play "But what about this?"

What about this 26 million of inauguration funds going to a friend of Melania? They paid 26 million to a company that was spun up a month before the inauguration.

Seems to be another funneling scam with a big chunk of that cash being washed, pressed, folded and in a very roundabout way slipped back to the Trump Clan.

But then for the Trumps and their ilk it's just business as usual, "so what's the problem with that? Everybody does it."

Special counsel Robert Mueller has brought charges against 13 Russian nationals and three Russian groups for interfering with the 2016 U.S. elections, the Department of Justice announced Friday.

The charges allege that the Russians posed as U.S. people, created false U.S. personas and stole the identities of real U.S. people or order to interfere with U.S. elections, including the presidential contest between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will announce charges at a press conference later Friday.

“From in or around 2014 to the present, Defendants knowingly and intentionally conspired with each other (and with persons known and unknown to the Grand Jury) to defraud the United States by impairing, obstructing, and defeating the lawful functions of the government through fraud and deceit for the purpose of interfering with the U.S. political and electoral processes, including the presidential election of 2016,” the indictment reads.

Thought this was all a nothing-burger and fake news? Guilty pleas and charges keep coming.

There is absolutely nothing that will come of this criminally. This is a roadmap and shot across the brow of Trump's narrative that the whole Rurshia thing was a made up hoax. Mueller is slapping his indictment on the table as a highly detailed walkthrough of how Russia meddled and supported Trump during the 2016 election. It's taking control of the wheel and forcing Trump to either double down or change his stance on what happened and setting the stage for another big boom to drop.

It seriously amps up the need to get those sanctions passed. One wonders if the GOP will be forced to act on Trump if he continues to do nothing.

....lol.

Just heard this on the radio. I’m very busy today but very interested please post updates for me

What I'm picking up is that it's a ton of incredibly detailed, very specific wording on a number of ways that Russia influenced the 2016 election. They talked about Russia picking up US SIM cards and setting up servers here to proxy as US posters and how they disseminated information through twitter, facebook and other social media. They also talk about how the overwhelming evidence is that Russia supported Trump, slammed Hillary, propped up Bernie and Jill Stein and talked shit about Ted Cruz. It was very targeted and specific support/lack of support.

They did it for the MAGA.

I'm also picking up that Hillary Clinton, the DNC, and people linked to the top levels of the DOJ had working and monetary connections to information not only meant to influence the election but also used in obtaining a FISA warrant. It's one thing for the Russians to interfere with elections but to knowingly use false or unverified information from foreign nationals and possibly the same Russians to influence the election and a possible violation of rights of citizens is a whole different game.

You keep saying that the Steele Dossier was created to influence the election, yet you offer no proof! If there was an intent to undermine Trump's candidacy, the Steele Dossier would have leaked months or weeks before the election. AFAIK, the only one talking about it before the election was Steele himself, but the dossier never entered public view until January. There was one single article on October 31 that dropped at Mother Jones alluding to a Trump Russia connection, but that story didn't get any traction in the media compared to the Comey letter about Clinton's emails.

I highly suggest you review the full timeline and come to an informed decision.

Just remember that the only evidence they put in these indictments is the stuff not classified or directly linked to individuals currently under investigation. Just picturing that to me seems like about an inch of iceberg above the water.

This. We’re not privy to probably a tenth of what Mueller knows.

Funny as hell to hear Fox actually dissing Trump a little bit.
Hannity’s losing it tonight. He’s throwing everything but the kitchen sink, deep state, uranium one, I can’t keep up with all the names and conspiracies.
Spicy’s even on and he’s got a book coming out.
