Democrats in a panic

It's a conservative reaction to take any wrongdoing by one of their own, and spin the story so that they are the victims and the REAL scandal involves a Democrat.
 
Look, I don't want anyone to panic but.....

If I took a ding for format and an ass kicking like this, I hope I'd reconsider my life.

It is starting. Gregory Craig, a former Obama White House council is about to be indited from the Mueller probe. He is just the tip of the iceberg. Any number of members of the Obama admin may be indited. That could possibly include Hillary and Obama themselves.

Democrats are starting to panic, with good reason.

Keep dreaming

You need to let go of that Hillary Derangement Syndrome, do yourself a favour and turn off Hannity.

Democrats are not at all panicked over the prospect of Craig's possibly being charged with something.


The case against Mr. Craig is related to the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, which the Justice Department is prioritizing in part because of scrutiny related to Mr. Mueller’s investigation.

The law requires Americans to disclose detailed information about lobbying and public relations work for foreign governments and politicians, and it has been the basis for charges brought against several people investigated by the special counsel.

Mr. Craig’s lawyers do not necessarily expect him to be charged with violating the act.

Rather, they expect him to be charged with making false statements to the Justice Department officials examining whether he was required to register under the law for work he did in 2012, while he was a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.

The work, on behalf of the government of Viktor F. Yanukovych, then the president of Ukraine, was linked to Paul Manafort, who at the time was a political consultant earning tens of millions of dollars for his representation of Mr. Yanukovych.

Mr. Manafort, who went on to become Mr. Trump’s campaign chairman in 2016, was sentenced last month to seven and a half years in prison on charges brought by Mr. Mueller’s team related to obstruction of justice and violations of FARA, as well as banking and tax laws stemming from his work in Ukraine.

Mr. Manafort arranged for Skadden Arps to be paid more than $5.2 million in 2012 and 2013, primarily from a Ukrainian oligarch, to assist the Ukrainian Justice Ministry. Specifically, Mr. Craig and his team produced a report that Mr. Manafort intended to use to quell Western criticism of the prosecution and jailing by Mr. Yanukovych’s government of one of his rivals, the former prime minister Yulia V. Tymoshenko, and to train Ukrainian prosecutors handling matters related to the case.

After the report was released, and Mr. Craig was quoted discussing it in an article in The New York Times, the Justice Department unit that oversees FARA reached out to Skadden Arps to ask why the firm and its lawyers had not registered as foreign agents for the Ukrainian government.

Pretty funny.
As a former listener to Limbaugh's show, I think you've captured his shtick very well.
He probably would have started this rant with a "My friends......I have breaking news" then followed with the usual ...blah...blah..blah...

"Folks, there's just no other way to describe it. They're in a panic. A full blown panic. And they should be."

"The dems are in a panic, folks. But the drive by media? Nothing. Nothing, my friends. I can't believe it."



I can only listen for a few minutes these days. He's not fun anymore. He ran out of shtick many years ago.

When people call and say, "thank you for a real education. Not some liberal university brainwashing, but the truth about liberals and what we're up against. I've listened for ten years and I can't imagine what I'd do without you. You've educated my two kids, Johnny and little Joe. They're activists. They're only in elementary school, private of course. Well, mostly home school."

"Thanks, Mary, but we're up against the clock here!"

"Well, Rush, just thanks for providing an education for my whole family."

"Thanks again, Mary. And, friends, we'll be right back."

On top of that the feds and Congress will continue to look into possible fraud related to insurance claims, loan applications, tax dodging, and money laundering.

And we start to get the Mueller report in a few days, with details of obstruction of justice and corrupt conduct sure to be revealed.

Buckle-up, Republicans.

So how do you account for no indictments being issued by Mueller for collusion or obstruction? You don't get it. No indictments because of no illegal action. Democrats just can't stand it and have made themselves crazy over it. Get ready because Barr says he is looking into misconduct in the spying on the Trump campaign as well as several other areas. Shoes on the other foot.

There are not charges for obstruction, they are for tax evasion and FARA.

Yeah, what used to irritate me was the end of the hour..."Well, folks there's not enough time to be fair with a caller..." so he would go to more commercials.
I always hated that. The guy probably actually takes what?...15 callers per week...maybe 20...on a good week.
I used to listen and every now and then a caller would make it past Limbaugh's screeners and give Rush some uncomfortable moments.
Those days are pretty much gone, Rush is never allowed to go offscript nowadays.

Why go off script? It's easy money making Rush 8 and Rush 9 with new villains, complete with background, provided yearly. Why rock that boat.

No need at all.
The guy makes a boatload of money.
He has referred to himself as "America's truth detector", "Your guiding light" and "With talent on loan from gawwdd"

The Mueller report. There were no indictments for trump. The purpose of the investigation was to find something to charge Trump with, there was no charges for trump or any in the campaign related to collusion or obstruction.

I mean "No indictment = nothing illegal." That's false logic, even for a regular case. Sometimes illegal stuff doesn't rise to a level or appear clear enough. It's false to claim that a lack of indictment indicates a complete lack of illegal activity in any case.
 
It's spreading.


 
This thread isn't dying with Eco's ****ty ass music as the last post. One last panic gif:

I missed your Breaking News link that matches your subject line. Can you please add it to this thread so we can all see the same Breaking News that you did?

By the way, he was a White House counsel, not a council. It helps to speak English as your first language when posting on DP.

Are we supposed to panic yet? I really thought this was the beginning of the end for the massive conspiracy involving all of the Democrats and a pizza parlor.
