They have bank records, emails, and a bunch of witnesses. Tip of the iceberg for corruption by The Dufus cronies.

Yes, his cronies are corrupt, no news there. The media love this sort of thing, sensation this, sensation that.

Hard not to report his daily scandals and distractions since some seem to be designed to hide other more important bad news from The Dufus.

Dossier author Christopher Steele was working for Putin crony oligarch Oleg Deripaska at the exact same time he was telling Evita and the press that Trump’s alleged ties to Russia were treason. The timeline is developing . Steele in a series of emails plead on behalf of

Deripaska to Ohr .Deripaska had his visa to US revoked due to ties to Russian organized crime.

Former emperor's DOJ official Bruce Ohr helped Chris Steele make the dossier.

Ohr worked directly for Deputy Director Sally Yates, who signed off on the Page FISA warrant.

Emails show Steele and Ohr were in frequent contact, that they intermingled talk about Steele's research and

Deripask's affairs, and that Glenn Simpson, head of Fusion GPS that hired Steele to compile the dossier, was also part of the ongoing conversation. So not only did the Evita campaign conspire with the Russians to compile the salacious and unverified dossier ;but so did various officials of the emperor's justice dept. Ohr's wife Nellie was hired by Fusion GPS specifically to investigate Trump.

Another furrfy

tomder55 · Aug 11, 2018, 07:20 AM

the irony is that one of the alleged reasons for the investigation was Manafort's relationship with

Oleg Deripaska .

talaniman · Aug 11, 2018, 09:18 AM

The reasons for the investigation no longer matter since his criminal charges have ended up in court. It's like being pulled over for a busted tail light and taken to jail for an open bottle of booze or finding outstanding warrants from past offenses. So you guys make a lot about Steele being the catalyst for an investigation, instead of being the one who dropped a dime on POSSIBLE criminal activity.

Just think if The Dufus, his son, and his cronies had come clean on their contacts we wouldn't have this mess, nor the investigation into possible conspiracy since we know what the Russians did, and are doing. The REAL question is what is The Dufus doing about it besides slow walking bipartisan congressional sanctions, and blasting his own appointed law enforcers?

Sorry Tom but no way do I take the word of a lying cheating Dufus without verifying his word. Why do you? Why does Nunes and the house? Did it ever occur to you that others didn't lie about their contacts or reasons for them and a few even reported them to the FBI like you are supposed too.

Cohen PLEADS GUILTY to 8 counts.

Manafort found GUILTY on 8 counts in first trial.

All the presidents men are guilty.

Well rally 'round the flag, boys. Never mind, Teflon Trump is in the clear

tomder55 · Aug 21, 2018, 04:51 PM

all this legal activity today . Still see nothing about Russians. Do I believe Trump paid off a porn star to keep quite about an affair ? Yes . Do I believe Manafort did not disclose all his income years ago ? Yes .

Manafort’s trial on bank and tax fraud charges, stemming from political consulting in Ukraine that predates his stint with Trump’s 2016 campaign, Allegations of Manafort being connected to Trump on behalf of Trump was a mistrial. But mission accomplished by Mueller . He can really put the squeeze on Manafort now to try to turn him.

talaniman · Aug 21, 2018, 05:06 PM

If Cohen pleads guilty to a campaign violation in the porn star payoff to win an election, why wouldn't The Dufus be indicted too? Or is Mueller going to get Don Jr. for conspiracy, and could Daddy be behind that too? On a side note The Dufus is at a rally and has them chanting "Lock her up!', and "Drain the swamp!".

What will repubs do about the Trumps offering Omarosa $180K of donor money to keep quiet? Can the repubs keep holding their nose forever?

tomder55 · Aug 21, 2018, 06:06 PM

you believe

Omarosa ?

paraclete · Aug 21, 2018, 06:12 PM

You believe Cohen and Manafort don't you. Yes or no? Don lives in the fan department and has that sticky stuff all over him

talaniman · Aug 21, 2018, 06:54 PM

I don't have to believe her, but the tapes she has released thus far is compelling to say the least. Dufus Jr is certainly screwed. The pardon countdown has already started if the Dufus can stay in office long enough.

tomder55 · Aug 22, 2018, 05:06 AM

I believe Manafort tried to hide income while doing work as a representative of foreigners . I believe Cohen paid off the women he claims to have paid off .I even believe Trump "directed " him to do so . The only issue is if this is in some way a campaign financing violation. The FEC flags hundreds of them every election cycle and the candidate's campaign gets fined . Do I think Trump is a complete sleeze ? Yes . Does that disqualify him ...... ?? seriously ?

Tal she is completely discredited . What video ? That Cohen boarded the Trump campaign plane ?

paraclete · Aug 22, 2018, 05:22 AM

Tom don't worry, your President is a sleeze, he is following a tradition long established

Lara Trump offering Omarosa a paid for nothing campaign position for 3 years that was RECORDED sounds like hush money to me, and exhibits that donors are funding a slush fund. Did the Dufus put her up to it? No proof, but no doubts in my mind either, at least for now. Are her claims of more tapes credible? We'll see. I've NEVER been a fan of Omarosa, but if she can back up her claims with REAL evidence, then it would be hard to ignore wouldn't it.

The Dufus is a sleaze all right and the behavior of his appointments, and public behavior so far, are enough for me to disqualify him from anything else to do with government and as we keep getting more, well that's just icing on the cake I think. Without his repub sycophants in congress, and his constant tweets and TV barrages, he would have been toast already, but as the wheels of justice slowly turn I think he will get what he deserves.

Lost in all of this are repub Dufus sycophants who are under investigation and indictment that hold those safe seats in the midterm re elections this fall. Come on Tom, you were there during Watergate, can you say this is much worse? I CAN!

The " Situation Room " is a Sensitive Compartment-ed Information Facility, or SCIF. Recording conversations there is a criminal offense. If she was offered a no show job (which describes half of Washington) then she was being given a favor . Her book is tanking so clearly she miscalculated on that too. I feel sorry for current and future WH staffers because I'm sure Trump and future Presidents will take steps that security is tightened and secret recordings will never happens again.

You aren't really saying that being a sleaze is a dis qualifier for the office . It would take me too long to post all the examples from history where the President did not achieve sainthood ;even the ones the Dems anoint as such . "Trump used the "N " word " oh really ? and LBJ bragged about how the (n.....s) would vote Democrat for 200 years after civil rights legislation was passed . The stories of his blatant racism is notorious . The difference is that he was in a time before social media and 24 hr advocacy journalism. So the stories were covered up until the 1980s . As far as womanizing ;JFK has Trump beat by miles ;and yes ,his womanizing made him possibly compromised as he had affairs with mafia daughters and Russian spies .

No this is no where's close to Watergate where a President actively led a cover up ,and obstructed justice . Besides his loud mouth and tweets ,Trump has done nothing to impead this investigation .And 2 years later all that has happened is the conviction of a short time campaign manager for crimes unrelated to his work in the campaign..

Minimizing the pile of stinking dung will not make it go away. Unfortunately somebody will eventually have to clean it up, and the dems are pretty use to it. The problem repubs have is a lot of small funky stuff adding up rather fast. Yes it has been two years has it? Seems longer, but The Dufus wasted no time screwing things up.
