Russia Collusion Scandal (aka A Leftist fantasy)

[cajunrevenge]

Jeannie rhee, a member of Mueller teams, represented the Clinton foundation. I mean seriously. They couldn't have found other's in the bureau without such an obvious bias?

Only the judge and jury matter. If whoever is charged is convicted or pleads guilty then what difference does it make? If they arent convicted then maybe you have a case of a political witch hunt. Really looks to me like whining about a broken justice system used against your side. Maybe they should put General Flynn on investigative hold in a cell with no bed, no bathroom, no sink, and no chance to see a judge or lawyer until he confesses to whatever they want him to confess to. Obama asked the cops to stop that and they said they knew it was wrong and would stop it but Sessions told them to bring the practice back so I doubt anyone on the Trump team would have a problem with it being used against them.

More on Deutsche and the Russians. Not directly related to Trump.

I'd be willing to bet that every major financial house has some shady Russian money.

no one in Deutsche's league...i worked for one of their competitors...their shady money came from the Arabs and four of their most senior executives (including a former CEO) will be going on trial for those dealings

Within Deutsche's records there is a loaded gun that will bring down Trump. The question I have is why Mueller has taken such a long and winding path before going there.

Ditto for Kushner btw. He is toast in so many different ways.

I have no clue what might be found there but I think that one way or another, the walls are closing in on Kushner. The sheer scale of the stuff he's failed to disclose indicates either a massive lack of respect for the law or a lot of shady dealings to hide, and possibly both.

He has his own flaws, which have been compounded by the often impossible positions his father-in-law has placed him in.

I don't think Trump did himself, the country, or Jared any favors by bringing him to the White House in a senior position.

The FT becomes the first to cite more than one source.

“Deutsche could not hand over client information without a subpoena,” said a second person with direct knowledge of the subpoena. “It’s helpful to be ordered to do so.”

A characteristically Germanic way of putting things. Just following orders.

[nsacpi]

Worth noting that the original article in German in Handelsblatt about this referred to information "on dealings linked to the Trumps." Parse that as you wish.

Here’s the thing I don’t understand about Flynn allegedly lying to Pence. Why do it? It was an open secret among transition team that Flynn talked to the Russians. Why lie to Pence?

"One big question is whether Flynn was instructed by campaign higher-ups — or even Trump himself — to lie to the FBI about those contacts" with Kislyak.

Isnt that what a number of us are asking, "why lie"

As has been said. The sole factor of partisanship does not impune the integrity of the investigation.

So the right, in obvious desperation, should cease trying to frame it in that way.

Here's the latest bit of fake news.

The argument being made by the right is far more extensive than that and I think most reasonable people would agree there is something to it.

But it isn't. They're alleging bias based on political contributions and private conversations, and a double standard based on the same problematic thesis about the Mills/Abedin interviews that I highlighted. And, as I've noted and the article underscores, there's accountability in the form of the IG investigation...and I'm certain we'll be hearing about it in the next oversight hearing.

If you can't isolate with specificity any actual wrongdoing, and you acknowledge that political leanings alone aren't a problem, why continue to beat the dead horse?

I think any reasonable person can understand this.
