Thread: Mueller's Russian Interference investigation

^ so why so many of trump's people were meeting with the Russians and then lying about the contacts?

...^the irresistible pull of loose money on offer...a fat worm to hide the hook of working with the Kremlin...

Sounds like the Committee hasn't finished deliberations.
Has Mueller submitted his report?

A string of unfortunate coincidences that collectively look bad, hence the lies. White lies really.

New filing suggests Mueller has evidence Stone communicated with WikiLeaks

Special counsel Robert Mueller said in a new court filing that search warrants have uncovered communications between longtime GOP operative Roger Stone and "Organization 1,” which is widely believed to be WikiLeaks.


Mueller made the disclosure in a filing Friday arguing that Stone’s case is related to the one involving Russian military hackers who are alleged to have breached the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and personal account of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.

The communications were uncovered in search warrants executed on accounts in the investigation into Russian hackers, Mueller said.




Stone’s attorneys have objected to his case being labeled as “related” to the Russian hacking case, arguing that it should be randomly assigned to a new judge.

Mueller’s Office Recommends Paul Manafort Serve Up to 25 Years in Prison


WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors recommended Friday that Paul Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign chairman, serve up to 25 years in prison and pay up to $25 million in fines for a fraud scheme that they said spanned more than a decade and showed that he believed “the law does not apply to him.”

Could this be the first overture in a new plea bargain?
"We could, if we were so inclined, change that recommendation to much less, depending on what else you've got. Has to be really juicy though."

i don't think it's part of a deal......they've caught him in enough lies, his testimony is probably worthless in court.

No and Congress hasn't even got started yet.

they can bring all the charges they want, it's another matter to prove them in court, and another to secure a conviction with a jury

great for putting pressure on scared idiots though,

Two years and 'no evidence' just a lot of hope on these pages amongst the circle jerkers. Sad.











Don't forget to give me those 'Reds' just so I know you've been 'triggered'.
Thanking you in advance

Trump Circulates Limbaugh Quote Calling for Mueller Investigators to ‘Be in Jail’

President Trump took to Twitter on Sunday to apparently circulate a call for the jailing of those who investigate him, including Special Counsel Robert Mueller. “‘These guys, the investigators, ought to be in jail. What they have done, working with the Obama intelligence agencies, is simply unprecedented,’” Trump wrote, quoting conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh. “‘This is one of the greatest political hoaxes ever perpetrated on the people of this Country, and Mueller is a coverup.’” He later added, in his own words, that “The Mueller investigation is totally conflicted, illegal and rigged! Should never have been allowed to begin, except for the Collusion and many crimes committed by the Democrats. Witch Hunt!”

nuthin gets by you.

Well except for legally and constitutionally limted presidential terms apparently.

Maybe it's another objective fact Trumptards have decided they don't particularly like so it doesn't apply them.

"Out" law? Ft. Alan Dershowitz, emeritus professor at Harvard Law School
Published time: 17 Feb, 2019

For my friends everything, for my enemies the law. This phrase has long become a byword for selective justice in authoritarian regimes, but it actually belongs to a man who deposed an elected president before taking his place. That happened in Peru a century ago.

Could something similar be happening again, this time in the United States with the Mueller investigation? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Alan Dershowitz, professor of law, emeritus, at Harvard Law School and author of ‘The Case Against the Democratic House Impeaching Trump.’

Goes to show you what a slimeball this guy is. It’s his MO to do something illegal then make excuses for himself then deny he did anything wrong.


Roger Stone’s Lawyers Formally Apologize for Instagram Photo of Federal Judge Next to Crosshairs

Lawyers for Roger Stone, the indicted long-time friend and advisor to President Donald Trump, kept it pretty simple on Monday night when filing an apology in court.


Stone, whose Instagram account posted an image of Judge Amy Berman Jackson next to crosshairs before removing that image and replacing it with another image without crosshairs that would also be removed, has apologized to the judge through his attorneys.


“Undersigned counsel, with the attached authority of Roger J. Stone, hereby apologizes to the Court for the improper photograph and comment posted on Instagram today,” Stone’s lawyers said. “Mr. Stone recognizes the impropriety and had it removed.”


The thing that immediately stands out about the response is the distance the attorneys are creating between Stone and the account. He “had it removed” instead of removing it, for instance. Nor do they say Stone posted the photo. They only mention the part where Stone righted the wrong. But they did include a signed apology from Stone on another page where he called this a “transgression.”


“Please inform the Court that the photograph and comment today was improper and should not have been posted,” Stone said. “I had no intention of disrespecting the Court and humbly apologize to the Court for the transgression.”


Stone appeared to have himself released two statements on Instagram after the photos were taken down.


The follow-up post on his Instagram said that the image of Jackson next to crosshairs was “misinterpreted,” that it was a “random photo” from the internet, and that any interpretation that this was a “threat” or “disrespect” is “categorically false,” it should be noted that this controversy happens just three days after Jackson denied Stone’s attempt to remove her from the case. It also happened days after all parties in the case were hit with a gag order.


In both of those messages were the hashtags #rogerdidnothingwrong.








Even after the apology, those messages are still up. The origins of the photo of Judge Jackson were easily found.


Career lawyers immediately said they’d never seen a filing quite like this one.

Still others found it notable in itself that Stone had apologized for anything.




While this may not be the kind of filing one would expect to ever encounter, Stone’s attorneys were probably pretty aware of how the Instagram post about the judge was received.
