This was the meeting where Carter Paige was promised something like $12Billion dollars in shares of a Russian energy company for his role in coordinating this.
As a result, Carter Paige was under surveillance for a year, yet he's not charged with anything and he's still poor. Meanwhile Manafort got busted on some unrelated, but seemingly serious shit, and hasn't cashed in his "get out of jail free" card. Oh yeah, and did I mention that Steele was working for Hillary and paid by the DNC? Did I mention that Steele leaked/gave the info to Yahoo news, who printed it. Then the FBI decided to perceive Steele and Yahoo as separate corroborating sources, which was what drove them to get a warrant on Carter Paige.
It's from a new interview with Nunes

The TLDR is that Nunes says that he examined the intel on Trump/Russia collusion and it didn't exist. Then he claims his committee and the IG are investigating why that is and investigating others and that the Clinton camp is implied to be among them (and preliminarily believed to be the driver)
You know, the basics.
Yeah, that's all old news. They're probably just refreshing everyone's memory because of Comey's book.
remember, Comey was either duped by Steele, or purposefully partisan.
Makes sense that it's old news, because I recall hearing that a while ago.
I'm just wondering what this sort of information means to the bubble of Facts Are Irrelevant.
They've silently conceded defeat. But rather than just say that, they moved on to "Obstruction!" and "Campaign Finance Violation!"Quote:

I'd say it's a good read because it covers some important facts that have come out yet not been touched by the mainstream media.
Can't wait for Poopadoop to tell me the REAL reason this happened, and why it's such a nefarious outrage.

I've seen people ask hypothetical questions around here trying to insinuate that Republicans are going to bring about the apocalypse if Trump loses in 2020. Such a notion is absurd of course. But here's a more realistic hypothetical....
What if Manafort walks?
Day 2 of the trial today and it's not going great for Mueller.
It does not appear to me how Manafort has any relation to the accusations about Trump (accusations made up to explain losing an election and to trick people).Quote:

Well that's kinda why this trial is relevant to Trump/RussiaQuote:
(accusations made up to explain losing an election and to trick people).
Manafort was part of the made up accusations. Steele's dossier claimed that Manafot was the guy actually in the room, along with Carter Paige, when the deal was made with the Russian governement. Manafort was actually the one who said the words. He represented Donald Trump in a deal that exchanged favorable treatment from America for the service of hacking Podesta and the DNC.
That's the accusation.
All Manafort has to do is say: "yes that happened", and he's free. this trial would be abandoned an Rick Gates would do a million years in jail while everyone forgets his name.
But Manafort hasn't
Moronic pundits and half-assed conspiracy theorists (eg Vox) have speculated that he's freerolling. He can either win at trial, or get a pardon if he loses.
Why the fuck would Trump pardon him?
The facts that Trump interviewed Mueller the day before he was hired and that Trump complains about him yet hasn't given him a Forever Name are enough to warn that what the eye sees is probably not what's going on.
I must be mentally dense here....
Someone help me unravel the five-dimensional chess game that's going on here....

Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute.Quote:
it's no secret that he is absolutely fixated on the Russia investigation and his belief that this is all one big hoax
is CNN saying that it believes that Trump believes that the Russia story is a big hoax? Why would Trump think that if it was real? Wouldn't he know? Hey Chris Calizza, are you telling me that you believe that Trump is sincere in his denials of russian collusion? Are you saying that Trump is being truthful when he says that there was no collusion??
https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/04/polit...iew/index.htmlQuote:
Trump has been absolutely adamant that he took part in "no collusion" with the Russians and has zero to hide. And I believe he believes that.
Why would Trump adamantly believe something that he knew to be untrue? Why would you trust the sincerity of his belief if you suspected that he actually did take part in collusion??
If Trump believes he is innocent
And Trump's belief is to be believed
Then what's the point of trying to prove his guilt?

OMG, the democrat candidate hasn't even conceded yet and they're already speculating about Russian meddling
Perfectly legitimate question!!! Anyone who isn't on the liberal bandwagon MUST be a Russian agent. /sarcasmQuote:
Why else would anyone cast a protest vote in Ohio
Stupid bitch can't even do math. Even if all the Green Party voters went Dem...they'd still lose!
I can't believe I masturbated so much to someone this cunty.
Watching the press piss their pants over anything that's even slightly salacious used to be hilarious. Now it's getting kind of sad.

This reads like a script for a House of Cards episode. An member of a progressive activist group goes undercover to expose the secret agenda of republican elites. He catches "a top Trump ally" on tape talking about "protecting" the President. The story goes on to tell us that Nunes is suspected of helping Trump with the Mueller investigation all along. And it's all captured in this "secret" recording that was never meant for public ears.
I mean give me a fucking break. Here's another story that CNN ran the exact same day.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/09/polit...sia/index.html
Statement from Trump's attorney:
So in public, republicans will say one thing about their agenda. But then behind closed doors, in private, in secret, in the company of their evil capitalist donors, they will say.....THE EXACT SAME THING!Quote:
(the President) needs something to energize his voters because the Democrats look like they're energized. Nothing would energize (Republicans) more than, 'Let's save the President.' "
Anyone else think Omarosa is kinda hot?
No, can't say she does it for me.
The 80's sitcom music is perfect.
BTW, with all due respect to boost - he could't have known how retarded things would get, but the thread title is just clearly wrong. I propose we move this thread, which seems to have turned into a carbon copy of every other active thread over here:
https://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerf...44#post2291544
I think we need several threads to keep up with the stupidity of Trump and his trumptards.
As far as I can see, Omarosa's only two qualifying credentials for her position at the WH were:
1) she was one of the few black people who could turn a blind eye to Trump-the-racist; and
2) she'd been on TV
If that's why you hire someone is it any surprise they turn out to be a dingbat?
