About time the rat (bleep)er was arrested.

Lets hope, though I think the inner circle of inner circles will be last. There may be a few satelites before Jr and Jared.

...rat catcher??


But yeah, he really is a rat-faced **** of a **********

Full indictment here.

By in or around early August 2016, STONE was claiming both publicly and privately to
have communicated with Organization 1. By in or around mid-August 2016, Organization 1 made
a public statement denying direct communication with STONE. Thereafter, STONE said that his
communication with Organization 1 had occurred through a person STONE described as a “mutual
friend,” “go-between,” and “intermediary.” STONE also continued to communicate with members
of the Trump Campaign about Organization 1 and its intended future releases.

A snip from a CNBC report of Roger Stone’s arrest.


According to a person with direct knowledge of the matter, the “high ranking Trump campaign official” who reached out to Stone in October 2016 was Steve Bannon, who served as CEO of the Trump campaign during the election’s final stages.


Bannon’s attorney declined to comment. Bannon, who worked as Trump’s chief strategist in the White House for less than a year, has not returned repeated calls for comment.

Either Steve Bannon will be arrested soon or he’s giving Mueller incriminating information. Even with turning evidence, don’t know how Bannon will stay out of prison for long.

Here's a good read. Sorry for the link.

If if you cared to really look you would see many facts in the opinion piece I posted and they are facts you won’t like.

Wishful thinking on Whitakers part or does he actually know something.

Mueller investigation is almost finished, says acting attorney general

Rare comment from justice department is first official sign Trump-Russia inquiry may be reaching an end



The special counsel’s Russia investigation is “close to being completed”, the acting attorney general said Monday in the first official sign that the investigation may be wrapping up.
The comments from Matthew Whitaker were a departure for the justice department, which rarely comments on the state of the investigation into whether Donald Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russia during the 2016 presidential election.

Roger Stone's indictment shows us Robert Mueller is steaming ahead

“The investigation is, I think, close to being completed,” Whitaker said Monday at the end of an unrelated news conference in Washington. He said he had been “fully briefed” on the investigation.
Whitaker did not elaborate or give any timetable for the end of a nearly two-year investigation that has shadowed Trump’s presidency.
So far, the special counsel, Robert Mueller, has charged 34 people, including several close to the president. But he has yet to accuse anyone close to the Trump campaign of conspiring with the Kremlin to hurt Hillary Clinton and help Trump win the election.
Whitaker, who is seen as a Trump ally, took over the justice department – and oversight of the Mueller probe – after the former attorney general Jeff Sessions resigned at Trump’s request in November.
Whitaker has drawn criticism for not recusing himself from the Russia investigation, even though he has publicly criticized it in the past. A top justice department ethics official advised him to step aside out of an “abundance of caution”, but Whitaker declined to do so.
According to justice department regulations, Mueller has to provide a report to the attorney general at the conclusion of his investigation laying out his prosecution decisions.
But it’s unclear what form the report will take or whether it will be released publicly. And depending on when Mueller wraps up, the report may not go to Whitaker. Trump has nominated William Barr to serve as the next attorney general. His confirmation hearing was held this month and he’s awaiting a vote in the Senate.
Barr told the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this month that he wants to release as much information as possible about Mueller’s findings, but he has hedged on specifics.
Trump has slammed the Russia investigation as a “witch hunt” and says there was no collusion.
The evidence so far shows that a broad range of Trump associates had Russia-related contacts during the 2016 presidential campaign and transition period, and several lied about the communication. Those contacts, according to Mueller’s indictments and US intelligence agencies, occurred while the Russian government carried out a multifaceted effort to influence the 2016 presidential campaign and attempt to sway it Trump’s way.

The others are Trump’s former national security adviser, his campaign chairman, his former personal lawyer and two other campaign aides.
Stone faces a Tuesday morning arraignment in federal court, where he is expected to plead not guilty to charges that he lied to lawmakers, engaged in witness tampering and obstructed a congressional investigation into possible coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign.
Though most defendants facing charges tend to stay quiet for fear of inflaming prosecutors or a judge, Stone has opted for a different tack since his pre-dawn arrest Friday.
Robert Mueller has enjoyed a year of successes … 2019 could be even stronger

Stone staged an impromptu news conference outside a Florida courthouse, made the rounds on weekend television interviews and mocked the probe on Instagram, posting a cartoonish image of Mueller holding a “nothingburger” – just a hamburger bun with no meat.
Also Monday, a judge delayed the sentencing of Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort in Virginia after he was convicted of eight financial crimes last year.
The sentencing is being delayed as a judge in Washington decides whether Manafor

They have to finish sometime, because they sure as shit don't want to be releasing anything in the middle of a Presidential campaign.

The clock is ticking.

Every aspect of Stone's arrest fucked trump over....

Saw that. Great.

Because baldy orange cunto will be able to whip up his base with claims that it is politically motivated blah blah deep state blah blah want to stop him getting elected blah blah you know the usual baldy orange cunto bollocks.

So the Republicans did their best to stall the Congressional Intelligence Committee by refusing to name their participants for weeks.

But now they've caved.

And all those lovely secret transcripts they've been keeping from Mueller have probably already landed on his desk.

Fucking marvellous, that.

More trouble for Manafort. They just can't help themselves. It's as if they don't believe the rules apply to them.

The witch hunt is going fairly well.

^ "I forgot I went to Spain, met with a Russian and gave him polling data".
No wonder the judge found him guilty of lying.

I think the Mueller investigation won't find enough to find Trump colluded with Russia to influence the election. However, this woman is gonna get him.

^ if she focuses on his phony 'foundation', his spawn should also be worried.

It'd be hilarious if he was bought down by a BLACK....... WOMAN.

Networks: 2,202 Minutes on Russia Scandal, Zero for No Collusion Report
14 Feb 2019

It’s been two days since NBC’s exclusive reporting that the Senate Intelligence Committee has found no material evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, and as of yet none of the three major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have given it even a single second of coverage in their evening newscasts. Considering these networks have given the Russia probe a massive 2,202 minutes of airtime, their silence on this major development is deafening.

MRC analysts examining all coverage on ABC’s World News Tonight, the CBS Evening News, and the NBC Nightly News found that those 2,202 minutes spent on the Russia investigation accounted for nearly 19 percent of all Trump-related reporting between January 21, 2017 and February 10, 2019. However none of those three shows have even mentioned the investigation since NBC’s report came out on February 12.

The situation has been much the same on those networks’ flagship morning shows. Neither CBS This Morning nor NBC’s Today have even acknowledged this new information from Senate investigators since the news broke on February 12. ABC’s Good Morning America briefly touched on it in a news brief totaling less than one minute on February 13.

In that segment, ABC’s Mary Bruce focused only on the public disagreement between Republican Chairman Richard Burr and Democratic Ranking Member Mark Warner. She failed to acknowledge NBC’s reporting that other Democrats on the Committee had agreed with Burr’s finding that thus far, they had found no direct evidence of collusion.
