Pecker Problems (Mueller+ Investigation Thread v. 21)

[Strychnine]

For sure. He is forever linked to Richard Nixon. People will actually forget about Nixon once this is all over and we are just scratching the surface. Look at how much we know WITHOUT Robert Mueller’s findings. Lol

Talk about the "Sword Of Damocles" hanging over one's head..

Yeah, the GOP is getting rekt in November for sure.

And I would say 2020 is in the bag for Dems as well but Donnie is such a disaster that now I'm thinking he'll choose to not run (he's not getting removed, btw) and the Republicans will have someone else.

And there's no telling who these geniuses will select after this. I thought I'd seen it all after Sarah Palin. Then Trump hold-my-beer'd everyone. Can't imagine who'll one-up him next.

Trump doesn’t last his first term. At some point congressional Republicans will demand his resignation if they were smart. We know they aren’t but still

What law enforcement did he attack? Matter of fact, pretty much ALL law enforcement loves what he stands for and would take a bullet for him. You might be mistaking Comey, Wray, Strzok, Rosenstein and their ilk as "law enforcement," which is wrong.

I guess the definition is whatever you need it to be. Kind of like Donald Trump's definitions of truth and integrity, it floats around for the sake of plot convenience.

Ever notice how great people are at their job, according to DJT, until they displease him... and then they were never any good?

Tell me you're not so far down the rabbit hole that if Trump says it, you instantly believe it.

Let me ask you, do you think the word honest applies to the man?

Very weird how people think of FBI officers as law enforcement. I can't imagine what they're thinking.

Indeed.
@Mark Hunts FIST you should take a look at this,
“HOLY SHIT, I THOUGHT PECKER WOULD BE THE LAST ONE TO TURN”: TRUMP’S NATIONAL ENQUIRER ALLIES ARE THE LATEST TO DEFECT
"Pecker’s apparent decision to corroborate Cohen’s account, and implicate Trump in a federal crime, is another vivid example of how isolated Trump is becoming as the walls close in and his former friends look for ways out. “Holy shit, I thought Pecker would be the last one to turn,” a Trump friend told me when I brought up the news. Trump and Pecker have been close for years. According to the Trump friend, Pecker regularly flew on Trump’s plane from New York to Florida. In July 2013, Trump tweeted that Pecker should become C.E.O. of Time magazine. “He’d make it exciting and win awards!”

During the 2016 campaign, Pecker provided invaluable media support to Trump by regularly attacking his Republican rivals and Hillary Clinton. At times, it seemed like the Enquirer operated as a de-facto arm of the campaign. In October 2015, I reported that Trump aides were a source for an Enquirer article exposing Ben Carson’s malpractice lawsuits (“Bungling Surgeon Ben Carson Left Sponge in Patient’s Brain!”). Pecker denied it at the time. In June, The Washington Post reported that the Enquirer routinely sent stories to Trump to review prior to publication. (The Enquirer denied that as well.) During the transition, rumors circulated that Trump was considering Pecker for a prime ambassadorship. Last summer, Pecker reportedly brought an adviser to Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman to meet Trump in the Oval Office to help him expand A.M.I.’s business."

How many articles did The Huffington Post put out on Hillary's health and her falling problem.

Zero? In fact according to one former HuffPost contributor said he was fired for putting a video out about Hillary's health. So hiding a story or promoting a politician is normal. What's the difference between these two? I don't see one.

I think one journalist was even sending his stories to Hillary's Camp so they can proofread it first if I recall

 

[Andy Capp]

Thinking about him wide awake, fretting as to who has what on him, knowing that with every stone being overturned, a lot of shady shit will come to light. That's what makes me smile. His pomposity has turned into anxious desperation.
I laugh at him because he's such a fucking clown.

Here's hoping he's having Telltale Heart style meltdowns by the time Mueller is done.

 

[kpt018]

Now I'm just spitballing here....

What if in the Enquirer vault is a story about President Trump and the woman who *allegedly* had an abortion when he got her pregnant?

Would THAT matter to the Pro-Life Trump supporter?

Ha! Yeah, I wonder. Seems like the religious right has found a way to ignore every other transgression so far. I mean, sleeping with porn stars is bad but I suppose the abortion thing (if true) would be a red line!

He goes around insulting the FBI, CIA, and the DOJ on nearly an hourly basis. He as the President is the top law official in the land and he says that he doesn't trust any of those organizations.

Did you see him standing next to President Putin at Helsinki?

The House is looking pretty good for Dems and the news will keep getting worse for Trump, but the Senate will be very hard to flip just because of demographics. But I do suppose if more bombshells come out it is possible to flip it.

And I would expect Dems to whip Reps at the local level too in areas that are purple.

You sound hurt that no one on the left can command as much loyalty from the average Joe as DJT can. And you want to know the cause of that loyalty? It's because of the absurd and ridiculous attacks you've been staging since your loss in 2016.

Don't fret. You may get a chance to really fuck the country up again in 2024.

 

[franklinstower]

Looks like sherdog Trumpers have all given up at this point. History is being made before our eyes ladies and gentlemen

I'm so grateful. Democracy will stand and shame on everyone who supported him for selfish reasons or because the could relate to his lack of character and dishonesty.

 

[kpt018]

If Americans gave a shit about moralities, Bill Clinton wouldnt be a superstar.
JFK wouldn't be held up on a pedestal.
That's not a whataboutism.
Collectively, outrage really depends on the political party, sometimes.

Donald Trump once brought his mistress to his family vacation with his current wife. I was well aware of where he stood morally

Lame response. Just because you don't give a fuck doesn't mean I don't. And for the record I don't hold either of those presidents on a pedestal.

If you recall. How about a source and then we can both be sure? The reason you don't see a difference is because you don't give a shit how many whores Trump paid off or how many abortions he financed. I think we can just leave it at that.

Hey man, what are your views on immunity for the Trump Org CFO? Can we draw any early assumptions here or no?

Did you LISTEN to the entire briefing or just rachel maddow's take? And if not, you should listen to it, and then apply what he said previously about the obvious corruption/politicization of the offices of FBI director and NSA director.

He fucked up though. He walked back what he said instead of doubling down. Comey, Mueller, RR... ALL swamp, all corrupt.

They will blame it on the filthy whore and Trump will get a pass because he at least appointed the right judges.

"Guilty isn't actually guilty, the FBI isn't law enforcement, and Donald J Trump is certainly not a crook. Bigly."

i agree with you that media buries stories all the time showbusiness and political figures have negative stories on a shelf, it happens the world over, however reports of ill health, whatever that was, compared to multiple affairs (and god knows what else) residing at the enquirer is a bigger story given its for a candidate from the party of family values, its akin to a story on racist behaviour from a democrat presidential hopeful.
