Members marceline Posted November 29, 2018 Members Share Posted November 29, 2018 Y'all know I'm into this Russia investigation like it's my job but I can't even keep track of everything going on now: Manafort breaks his plea deal Cohen pleads guilty Deustche Bank offices raided Maria Butina moved to solitary Stone/Corsi It's all coming together. I just hope tomorrow brings us another round of indictments being unsealed. I've noticed that big news often breaks when Trump travels. I'm pretty sure WaPo holds some stories just to drop them as soon as AF1 takes off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 29, 2018 Members Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) @JaneAusten Nothing about the NYT surprises me these days. The AP, tbh, did surprise me a bit but they won't do so, in the future. The New York Times made the mistake of sending me a "random" survey to fill out and boy did I let them have it! Their misleading, click-baity ledes, their obvious lack of diversity in staffing of reporters, etc. and their obvious 'caping' (I didn't use that word exactly) for right-wing and Trumpists' perspectives. I went "awf"! I also have to add that both the NYT and the Washington Post have tried so assiduously, over recent years (before Trump) to paint the GOP as trying to cultivate diversity, Blacks and Latinos, in particular. I can remember articles painting Mia Love as an example of the efforts by the Republican party to embrace ethnic, racial and gender diversity within it's ranks. Also, there was more than one unfortunate piece naming Tim Scott as the conscience of the Republican party for supposedly tut-tutting at Trump's obvious racism. Well, we see what all this has come down to. Stevie Wonder can see the collusion a mile away but Trump's lackeys and fans will continue to drink the Kool-Aid and deny deny deny.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 29, 2018 Members Share Posted November 29, 2018 He also said he had no business deals with Saudi Arabia, which is a whole lie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted November 29, 2018 Members Share Posted November 29, 2018 the end is nye. and he knows it. the walls have closed in. but, for me......I'm sick of this waiting for Mueller to drop the bombs on him. is he waiting for the Dems to take control of the House before he does that IYO? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 29, 2018 Members Share Posted November 29, 2018 Mueller was waiting for Trump to submit his written answers. Once that happened the dominoes started to fall. The bombs are dropping as we speak. All the stuff that doesn't need the cooperation of Congress has begun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 29, 2018 Members Share Posted November 29, 2018 Yeah, I never believed that Mueller was deliberately delaying anything in this investigation. I believe that he is being meticulous, which is necessary for him to do his job properly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted November 29, 2018 Members Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) I think part of the delay was also just letting Manafort hang himself so his plea deal could be revoked. ETA: This is just...wonderful. Edited November 29, 2018 by marceline 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 29, 2018 Members Share Posted November 29, 2018 Here's another one to add to that list, @marceline. Apparently this man has a law firm that has done property tax appeals for Trump. It's raid city today! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted November 29, 2018 Members Share Posted November 29, 2018 Burke is a longtime alderman from Richard Daley Sr. admin days. He also runs a law practice specializing in property tax appeals and if you know anything about one of the big scandals in Illinois, it centers around property taxes, which are a mess in Illinois partially due to people like Burke. Yes he represents trump but unless he's somehow involved in some of the Trump deals(which is possible), not sure if there is a connection. We'll see. But this could center around his involvement in moving the 100 million dollar workers compensation fund to Rahm Emmanuel's office. Burke has been overseeing the fund and has been unwilling to disclose the identity of recipients and payouts. Movement to Emmanuel's office also removed oversight by the City of Chicago inspector General. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ReddFoxx Posted November 30, 2018 Members Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) Speaking of fraud there is an issue in North Carolina that could be a huge case of voter fraud perpetrated by behalf of a Republican. This is felony level fraud. https://twitter.com/jimmorrill/status/1068226208738017290 Edited November 30, 2018 by ReddFoxx 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
