Special Prosecutor

Does anyone know what happens with the FBI investigation? One of the articles on this says that the special counsel investigation would "replace" the FBI investigation like an independent commission would have replaced the congressional investigations.

Lol why is that interesting? Enlighten us.

Why is that interesting? The guy who's investigating Trump over Russian ties delivered uranium to Moscow...

You really believe that Mueller personally deliver enriched uranium to Moscow?

He will head it up independent of the DOJ. not much else changes.

Fun fact. Trump could actually fire Mueller if he really really wanted to and was really really stupid. So long independent counsel law.

Wikileaks spends an awful lot of time now in supporting Trump via innuendo and spreading propaganda. Putin has his arm right up Assange's ass.

Assange is probably hoping for a Russian limo to pull up to the embassy he's hiding in and take him to the airport and onto a flight to Russia.

Assange said he would turn himself in if Manning was released. Manning was released today I believe. Is he on his way to turn himself in ?

If they pardoned him and declared him innocent. They didn't do that, he's still guilty. They commuted his sentence, thus not fulfilled the "deal".

Name something they've been wrong on? They definitely have a political slant they advocate for, but name one thing they've got wrong.

It's difficult to say what they've wrong about when they never leak anything that can be independently verified.

Now I'm assuming you had time to read the cable I posted as to why. Seems Wikileaks is being highly misleading now doesn't it?

You believe Wikileaks got a doc wrong?

Doesn't make it wrong.

Was it the uranium that Clinton sold to the Russians?

I'll ask again? Given that it was a joint investigation between both U.S. and Russia why is it interesting. Or even noteworthy?

GOP Oath of Office
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did...
You deserved it.

Given the entirety of the memo, what you linked was obviously intended to deceive.

Trumpsters rarely get past the headline, let alone actually click on links.

Lots of gold coming from WaPo lately.

Doesn't make it wrong.

It doesn't make it right either. And when it's coming from a single source with a singular agenda, it does make it very questionable.

Donald could play the ultimate Trump card. Pardon everyone associated with the investigation including himself.

I believe the President has the power to do so.

You'd quickly find he suddenly has the power to start riots in the streets if that were to happen.

Special Prosecutor

While they (Wikileaks) are technically correct exactly what purpose does this leak serve?

 

[woolfe9998]

Doesn't make it wrong.

Evidently Mueller delivered a small sample of HEU for forensic analysis as part of a joint anti-proliferation program between the two countries. This trip had to have been done in an official capacity at the time or else Mueller would have been under investigation the minute wikileaks released this cable.

Nothing to see here.

The President doesn't have the power to pardon himself.

 

[Azuma Hazuki]

I would love to see Drumpf do that. He'd sign his own death warrant and that of his entire cabinet.

He didn't even read the link he sourced. Lol.

Interesting...

once again the Russians come running to aide Republicans, not that there is anything incriminating in that tweet.

what's interesting, actually more like disgusting, is the current Republican and Russian love affair.

 

[Zorba]

You guys are so easy to dupe it isn't even funny. Just reading the little bit on Twitter it was clear that it was a sample. Sane people would assume it was part of some type of nuclear agreement. Reading the full wire, shows it was part of a nuclear agreement.

The President doesn't have the power to pardon himself.

He may be able to...

No one knows the answer. The Constitution says that the president "shall have the power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment." This sentence, like many in the Constitution, can reasonably be interpreted in several ways. And since no court has ruled on this issue--because no president has ever tried to pardon himself--it remains an open question.
