Urine Trouble (Mueller Thread v. 16)

[Quipling]

Mod note excerpted from previous thread:

Spoiler

Mod note: Please post in here with regards to the subject at hand. Any general chat can go in the WR OT thread.

Just to be clear, going forward, these type of posts also count of derailing:
1. Talking about how the thread is derailed/ how mods should handle a situation (report and continue on topic discussions)
2. Joking about posters who are reply banned from the thread
3. Posts with only flaming that do not have any other information about the topic
4. A reply to any of the above

Stop doing these. This isn't some game of getting each other reply bans and infractions. Just stay on topic, report when needed. We have the WR OT for posts like the ones above but they have no place in a normal thread.

Creating a new thread because the old one is huge.


Updates since last thread:

• Manaforts's countersuit that Mueller exceeded his authority has been dismissed
• Michael Cohen is under criminal investigation.
• Michael Cohen's office was raided by the public corruption unit in the sdny, not by Mueller's team.
• Trump has hired Rudy Giuliani and Emmet Flood as attorneys
• John Dowd and Ty Cobb have resigned
• Mueller's team met with Trump's attorneys for a possible interview
• Someone leaked possible questions that Mueller wanted to ask
• Comeys memos have been leaked

Major events so far:

• Manafort, Trump's campaign manager and transition committee member on eleven counts arising from misconduct reaching into 2017 related to payments received through 2014 from the pro-russia faction of Ukraine's pre-war government. He has pleaded not guilty. The indictment has since been expanded by 13 claims. Manafort is currently confined to house arrest due to bank and tax fraud uncovered when he tried to secure his bond.
• Gates has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and conspiring (with Manafort) to commiting tax fraud, failing to register as a foreign agent, and lying to the FBI
• George Papadopolous pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators in 2017 about activities occuring 2016-17. Admits to meeting with various Russian officials regarding setting up meetings and "dirt" on Hillary while acting on behalf of the Trump campaign, something he previously denied.
• Mike Flynn, Trump's National Security Advisor, has also pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI with respect to several meetings that he had with the Russian ambassador. Flynn was allegedly involved in other business involving Turkey, but has not yet been charged with respect to that behavior.
  
• Steve Bannon was interviewed for roughly 20 hours by Mueller's team. Bannon has refused to answer congressional inquiries
  
• Sessions was privately interviewed by Mueller's team. Sessions is currently head of the DoJ.
• 13 Russian indictment for activity starting in 2014 and continuing through 2017. A US citizen pleaded guilty for agreeing to help them.
• An attorney linked to Manafort, Gates, and a Russian oligarch has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI

Dumb Talking Points:

"Nothing will come of this."

Several things have already come of this.

They were just shitposting/trolling lol

Wrong. Read the indictment.

The FBI is wasting money on this, but dropping the ball on other things?

The office of special counsel is a separate section. The FBI has literally thousands of employees and lots of different offices and departments

[AnGrYcRoW]

Trump is a lying tub of goo , why anyone would believ a word out of his mouth is beyond me.

I actually felt a pang of sympathy for Sarah Huckabee Sanders today trying to cover Trumps lying red ass

Nobody said Trump was wiretapped.

The president called, against the advice of his legal team, an associate who was under an ongoing criminal investigation.

Edit: NBC claimed that Cohen was wiretapped but withdrew that story because they apparently don't know what metadata is.

Yeah, that doesn't sound brilliant.

I like to imagine that under questioning these guys make enlarged pleading sounds while prost(r)ate.

MFW y’all fell for the fake news again.




MSNBC issued a massive on-air correction Thursday to an NBC News report the U.S. government has wiretapped Michael Cohen, the personal lawyer to President Donald Trump.
“Feds tapped Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s phones,” read the headline of the initial NBC News story.
At least one phone call Cohen had with someone at the White House was intercepted, according to the initial report. It was not clear when investigators began wiretapping Cohen, but NBC News reported it was in place in the weeks before FBI agents raided Cohen’s home, office and hotel room in connection with an investigation into payments he made to Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who has claimed to have had an affair with Trump.
But later Thursday, MSNBC ran a correction to the initial report.
“Correction: Feds are monitoring, not listening to Cohen’s calls,” read a chyron correcting the report.
Instead of a wiretap, investigators obtained what’s known as a pen register warrant. That allows investigators to obtain information about calls placed to and from a particular phone such as phone numbers and phone call length.

They wiretapped Michael Cohen, most likely with his permission since he has been criminally indicted, and the retard Trump calls him personally after Cohen's office was raided.

No sympathy from me, though it is hilarious that she is this Christian chick who is using her christian college education to try to cover for some fat old man who is lying about his getting spanked and having sex with a porn star, all while his wife and infant child were at home.

 

[waiguoren]

I don't think Trump is in any serious trouble.

Tell me why I'm wrong.

I believe the wiretap story has been withdrawn by msnbc because, while Cohen's device was monitored, they did not listen to the call itself.

If it were fake news Bob, then why correct it? Now when it is really fake news about "wires tapped", it is not corrected. For example:
