Gagging for it (SCO Thread v. 29) Update Mueller Report Released

And Lindsey is letting his new best friend Trump excoriate his old dead best friend (they cried on TV together talking about their friendship) without sticking up for him, leaving it up to McCain's daughter. Prince of a guy that Lindsey Graham.

Lindsay Graham has been absurdly pathetic, like a servile dog, during this presidency. I hear him stand up to Trump on some perfunctory issue, and even people like Joe Scarborough suck Graham off, as if they don't know he'll tuck tail the moment the tees are set at Mar-A-Lago. He's always been a scumfuck, and always will.

But seriously, I’m surprised Lindsey didn’t bitch at trump for ripping on his dead boyfriend.

The incident from that meme was pathetic all around, Graham including. He's such a caddy little bitch.

His boyfriend was not John Mccain, it was Dill Sheppard

Why do Republicans get triggered so easily? Nunes can't take a joke. Santorum couldn't. Trump constantly whines about SNL.

What even is conservative humour these days apart from "liberal tears" & trolling?

I know they love Bill Burr but hate that he's not racist. They love Nick Di Paolo, Cumia, owen benjamin, dave brennan.
Crowder/Rubin aren't comedians they're fucking retards.

ANOTHER HIGH-PROFILE PROSECUTOR LEFT THE MUELLER TEAM


A Justice Department official who worked on former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s case is leaving the special counsel’s office, a spokesman for Robert Mueller said Monday.

“Zainab Ahmad has concluded her detail with the Special Counsel’s Office but will continue to represent the office on specific pending matters that were assigned to her during her detail,” special counsel spokesman Peter Carr said in a statement, first reported by Yahoo! News.

Ahmad’s departure is the latest signal that Mueller’s probe is nearing its end. Carr confirmed Thursday that Andrew Weissmann, the high-profile Mueller prosecutor who handled cases against Paul Manafort, is planning to leave the team.

Ahmad, a counterterrorism prosecutor, is one of the Mueller team members to sign Flynn’s guilty plea for lying to the FBI regarding his contacts with former Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

Poll: More Americans Think Mueller’s Probe Is a ‘Witch Hunt’ Against Trump

Half of Americans agree with President Trump that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe is a “witch hunt” and that he has been subjected to more investigations than previous presidents because of politics, according to a poll published on Monday.

That is more than the 47 percent of Americans who disagree, according to the new poll, conducted by USA Today/Suffolk University Poll. Just three percent did not have an opinion.

The poll also showed that trust in Mueller’s investigation has “eroded.”

“Even among people who said they had ‘some’ trust in the Mueller investigation, half agreed with President Trump’s witch hunt allegation,” David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk Political Research Center, told USA Today.

I didn't move the goalposts, you are acting like "working for" means he has an office at corporate and the GRU pays for his prophylactic dental care.
That never happened. I asked for evidence. So far, you have offered none.


trying to downplay the seriousness of the crimes
Again, failing to file an FBAR is not a serious crime. Would it surprise you if the average prosecution for failure to file FBAR resulted in zero jail time?

As for tax fraud: $6 million is probably well below the median in tax fraud cases which proceed to trial. If that's accurate, then my characterization of Manafort's tax fraud as "small-scale" is not 'downplaying' anything. It would be a matter of fact. I've already given you examples of much larger cases, including a case that you brought up yourself.


one moron's MAGA fueled incredulity prevented Manafort from being convicted of all 18 counts charged

What's your evidence that the juror was "MAGA-fueled"?

the partisan judge was actively fucking with and trying to undermine the prosecution

Were you in the courtroom, or are you taking a journalist's characterization as dogma?

What, Manafort's attorneys didn't make a mockery of the court, inside and out, parroting Trump's twitter feed to try to get a pardon, not to mention Manafort's witness tampering and double-crossing and lying to the special counsel under the guise of cooperating?

The witness tampering part is irrelevant, since Manafort was tried separately on those charges.

You are the person who brought the Wesley Snipes case into this. You were trying to claim that Manafort's sentencing was unfair because Snipes was sentenced to three years for a lesser offense. Again, Snipes is alleged to have failed to pay four times the amount in taxes that Manafort is alleged to have failed to pay, and Snipes deliberately used frivolous stall tactics to delay judgment. By contrast, Manafort was by all accounts very compliant during the court proceedings. Perhaps Manafort played the game more intelligently than Snipes did. However, to make a direct comparison is unreasonable, in my estimation. Any of the actual lawyers here with significant trial experience (there are very few, BTW) will tell you the same.

Finally, I'd like to know your ideal prison sentence for tax fraud, independent of the Manafort case. Note that whatever answer you give will be in addition to the accused's payment for taxes owed + interest. If Bernard Sanders were to fail to pay $2 million in federal income tax, how much prison time should Sanders serve in addition to being forced to pay the IRS $2 million + interest?

Good thing then as that is a whole bunch of witches he found.

The full list of known indictments and plea deals in Mueller’s probe
1) George Papadopoulos, former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser, was arrested in July 2017 and pleaded guilty in October 2017 to making false statements to the FBI. He got a 14-day sentence.

2) Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chair, was indicted on a total of 25 different counts by Mueller’s team, related mainly to his past work for Ukrainian politicians and his finances. He had two trials scheduled, and the first ended in a conviction on eight counts of financial crimes. To avert the second trial, Manafort struck a plea deal with Mueller in September 2018 (though Mueller’s team said in November that he breached that agreementby lying to them).

3) Rick Gates, a former Trump campaign aide and Manafort’s longtime junior business partner, was indicted on similar charges to Manafort. But in February 2018 he agreed to a plea deal with Mueller’s team, pleading guilty to just one false statements charge and one conspiracy charge.

4) Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, pleaded guilty in December 2017 to making false statements to the FBI.

5-20) 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies were indicted on conspiracy charges, with some also being accused of identity theft. The charges related to a Russian propaganda effort designed to interfere with the 2016 campaign. The companies involved are the Internet Research Agency, often described as a “Russian troll farm,” and two other companies that helped finance it. The Russian nationals indicted include 12 of the agency’s employees and its alleged financier, Yevgeny Prigozhin.

21) Richard Pinedo: This California man pleaded guilty to an identity theft charge in connection with the Russian indictments, and has agreed to cooperate with Mueller. He was sentenced to 6 months in prison and 6 months of home detention in October 2018.

22) Alex van der Zwaan: This London lawyer pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI about his contacts with Rick Gates and another unnamed person based in Ukraine. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail and has completed his sentence.

23) Konstantin Kilimnik: This longtime business associate of Manafort and Gates, who’s currently based in Russia, was charged alongside Manafort with attempting to obstruct justice by tampering with witnesses in Manafort’s pending case last year.

24-35) 12 Russian GRU officers: These officers of Russia’s military intelligence service were charged with crimes related to the hacking and leaking of leading Democrats’ emails in 2016.

36) Michael Cohen: In August 2018, Trump’s former lawyer pleaded guilty to 8 counts — tax and bank charges, related to his finances and taxi business, and campaign finance violations — related to hush money payments to women who alleged affairs with Donald Trump, as part of a separate investigation in New York (that Mueller had handed off). But in November, he made a plea deal with Mueller too, for lying to Congress about efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.

37) Roger Stone: In January 2019, Mueller indicted longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone on 7 counts. He accused Stone of lying to the House Intelligence Committee about his efforts to get in touch with WikiLeaks during the campaign, and tampering with a witness who could have debunked his story.

Finally, there is one other person Mueller initially investigated, but handed over to others in the Justice Department to charge: Sam Patten. This Republican operative and lobbyist pleaded guilty to not registering as a foreign agent with his work for Ukrainian political bigwigs, and agreed to cooperate with the government.

If the probe doesn’t take out trump, which it won’t, it will be the nail in the coffin for media credibility.

...if Trump himself hasn't done anything specifically wrong, it's hardly likely he didn't know about shenanigans.
What are the odds a control freak was ignorant of his cronies activities?

You think the “fake news” label was effective in 16?

the claim of a 'witch hunt' extends to a canvasing around Trump and into his ties and contacts for some dirt.

So what is the dirt then? What would the 'Hunters' be looking for?

That question is clear. Its actually the first stated goal in the Mueller Mandate. Here, I'll quote it again...

"any links and/or coordination bet ween the Russian government and individuals...associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump"

Again...

"any links and/or coordination bet ween the Russian government and individuals...associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump"

So Mueller, the 'Hunter of witches' is somehow failing in the core of his mandate when you read the list I supplied DESPITE the list of people 'associated with the campaign of Trump' and their clear list of "links" and "coordination" with Russian government and individuals".



You cannot make up the ridiculous of that claim in the face of the factual evidence. This special prosecutor investigation is and has been the most massive success in the history of the various special Investigation offices and its no where near done in what it will expose directly and tangentially through the other investigations it has spurred.
