Mueller "Witch Hunt"

[calamity]

...seems to be uncovering a lot of witches.

THREAD: Worth revisiting today, in light of Manafort's plea, the stunning tally of crimes Mueller has uncovered and prosecuted in what is, still, a very quick and fast-moving federal investigation: ...

Together, they paint a picture of the "America First" campaign being anything but, of a campaign staffed with liars, crooks, and grifters ...

1) Trump's campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, has both been found guilty at trial and pleaded guilty to charges that include money laundering, conspiracy against the United States, and that he was working as an unregistered foreign agent for pro-Putin Ukrainians. ...

2) Trump's campaign lawyer and deputy RNC finance chair, Michael Cohen, has pleaded guilty to EIGHT charges, including campaign finance charges, tax fraud, and bank fraud. ...

3) Trump's national security advisor, Michael Flynn, has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, charges that include how he was working as an unregistered foreign agent for the Turkish government during the campaign. ...

4) Trump campaign aide and Trump's deputy inaugural chairman, Rick Gates, has ALSO pleaded guilty to conspiracy against the United States. ...

5) Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and stonewalling its investigation into his contacts with Russian nationals during the campaign. ...

6) Another Gates protege, Samuel Patten, has also pleaded guilty to being an unregistered foreign agent, helping to funnel illegal foreign money to Trump's inaugural campaign. ...

That's an incredible tally for a federal investigation. ....

Yes it sure is.

Flippers... the lot of 'em... should be illegal to turn witness for the state.

So did the Salem Witch Trials.

 

[calamity]

So did the Salem Witch Trials.

Those would be the ones who were after Hillary....for four years, $200 million dollars, 10 congressional hearings and ZERO indictments or convictions.

No, those would be the ones in Salem, Massachusetts where they hanged a bunch of people in pursuit of "witchcraft" - never, of course, uncovering any actual witchcraft.

With Mueller, it's "collusion."

No. With Mueller, it's conspiracy. And, he has a slew of guilty pleas to back it up.

No he was never asked to uncover random conspiracies from the days of yore. But hey, just like in Salem... if you can't find any actual witches...

Incorrect. But, hey. When you have your boys falling like dominos, grasping at any straw available may make sense.

Poor Trump.

He had no idea all those fine people with whom he surrounded himself were such criminals.

Yes it sure is.

The investigation was predicated on Russian collusion... So how many people has Mueller found to have colluded with Russia thus far? What credible evidence has come to light indicating that Trump or members of his campaign colluded with Russia?

I wouldn't call the investigation a witch hunt at this point, but I will say this... If this thing in the end comes up with nothing credible showing that Russian collusion took place, then based on that and all of the corruption within the FBI and DOJ that's been uncovered, I think labeling the investigation a witch hunt would be very appropriate.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Manafort just agreed to 'tell all'. There will be a lot of information sharing.

Let's begin a running tab of those who have pleaded guilty to the charges brought against them so far,

Flynn-guilty
Popadopoulis-guilty
Gates-guilty
Cohen-guilty
Manafort-guilty

If anyone noticed, from Flynn to Manafort the investigation has gotten closer to Trump and family.

 

[calamity]

Manafort guilty of an illegal, foreign-funded smear campaign against Hillary Clinton for not being sufficiently pro-Russia? Hmmm....

Let's unpack that.

Extremely significant in this: Manafort coordinated with Israeli officials on messaging to aid Kremlin agenda in Ukraine.

This won't be the last time this comes up.

In a superseding indictment this morning, there are some interesting details about Manafort’s secretive lobbying work. Like his planting of stories to accuse an Obama official of being anti-Semitic.

Translation:

Because -- this.
Manafort, with the help of an Israeli official, fabricated accusations of anti-Semitism in order to aid the Kremlin's "Ukrainian Nazis" narrative to attack opponents of Putin.
One of whom happened to be Hillary Clinton.

You know what they say about snitches.

So did the Salem Witch Trials.

Yeah, I remember when all those witches turned state's evidence and made deals with the Salem DA. That's totally the same thing.

What an utterly moronic line of posting THIS is.

You're attempting to compare people making deals to avoid further prison time to 17th century religious fanatics.

The Trump Tower meeting. Period, end of conversation.

Bad analogies are still analogies, I suppose.
