I mean. In terms of the cases going thru the southern district of New York, there seems to be a pretty big pattern of tax fraud and emoluments. The only real doozy from Cohen was that check if it is indeed what he says it is...not really the best dude to ask tho.

Another interesting thing was him saying that Trump is actually NOT under audit. That's a very provable lie and it's as simple as subpoenaing Trump's tax returns, which now the house will have grounds for. Trump's whole excuse for not releasing his returns (as every previous president has done) was that he said he couldnt because he was under audit. Was also a question on his written answers to Mueller. Apparently that was Donald Trump committing an extremely basic form of perjury, but also lying to the American people to shield himself from a likely tax fraud investigation or audit. I think we all remember that lie and I think we all remember him saying it to Congress. That in and of itself is the basic reason Clinton was impeached, lying to Congress. And frankly makes Cohen no worse than trump himself. It's not a good look. Especially telling the same lie to federal prosecutors. That's certainly grounds for impeachment if his tax returns are subpoenaed and hes found to not be under audit. That's plenty enough for Republicans fo bring impeachment charges against Clinton, and all that is before whatever tax crimes he's hiding.

Not collusion at all, but definitely stuff previous presidents would have gotten at least an impeachment hearing about.

For a little historical perspective, Nixon was two years into the Watergate scandal and people mostly knew he had committed process crimes like obstruction when he had his reelection. He won 49 of the 50 states in the largest electoral romping of all time.

Clinton was post impeachment in his 2nd election and won a larger share of the electoral college because his impeachment hearing was also for process crimes.

This tax return perjury business is USUALLY considered grounds for impeachment, would never get 2/3 in the Senate, and would likely help a 2020 reelection for him. That said, when these crimes are found, typically an impeachment hearing follows. That's pretty standard. Usually government decides the people have a right to know everything. And then we get to hear about Clinton Sharpie-blasting an intern. It's fun times.

The dems will certainly need more stuff to sway anybody, but historically they'd be the first Congress not to bring impeachment proceedings against a president for process crimes. If I were on the right and thought this was all the crimes I'd want them to do it. It should help the election tbh

I've got a sneaking suspicion that lying about being under audit isnt his only crime tho. Maybe it's best to keep screaming "WITCH HUNT!" and tampering with witnesses on Twitter. Lol

Dude. The report isnt even out yet. Theoretically youd wait to call it that until you had any of the redacted information...it's all still black to the public as it is all still under investigation. Cohen even said he knew trump committed other crimes, but was not allowed to comment because they were under investigation by the SDNY. Seems everyone has their mind made up before they have any actual info.

That's a joke btw sin. I am curious so I'll ask directly.

Canada scandal is like....and this is me asking not explaining because my family doesnt work for a party there. And yeah if you didnt know my family is involved to some degree in American politics. Sorry guys. Haha......

So it goes....there's like a money thing. I get all my Canadian politics from podcasts so heres my understanding:

Theres this company called SVC-Lavaland or something, lol, and they have a fluffload of workers in Quebec. I know quebec pretty much decides your elections....its our Ohio...and that's an important source of jobs there. Lavaland however faces fraud charges of like 50 billion or so tho (to like pre war Gaddafi "got his Weiner cut off in the road with a bayonet" Lybia). Trudeau pressured the attorney general to cut a deal with that company, and retaliated when she did not (I haven't heard how). Quebec was in an important election at that time and this also matters because that's why Trudeau was being a fluff.

On face value it sounds like an average Tuesday in American politics but I'll concede that I wouldnt take a position on it until I heard about his retaliation, and what direct efforts he had lobbying on behalf of Lybia. That's super important because if he is a compromised foreign agent, you're in bad shape. It seems about as flimsy as Russian collusion in America but both could result in EPIC RIGMAROLE!!!!

I have no doubt that he's got allegations that need addressed, but I rather wait and see what happens, everyone is entitled to benefit of the doubt, fluff I gave it to Bill when he was accused of getting a blowjob in the white house....not for a minute I believed it LOL, I wasn't politically as active as now but I did follow politics, Bill shouldn't of lied, he should have just said "hey you know what, it happened, it was consensual, I apologized.

I mean, like I said two pages ago, so far what we know is Manafort (an unregistered lobbyist for pro-Russia ukraine) shared polling data with konstantin Klimnick, trump provided Oleg Daripaska with sanctions relief in exchange for contributions to Trump org (no worse than what any other president does with big tobacco frankly but it does happen to be a Russian oligarch), and Roger Stone was in contact with Guccifer 2.0 by way of Wikileaks to acquire the hacked DNC emails.

In terms of Russian collusion I think if that's the only arguement, it's flimsy as hell. To me the emoluments and tax fraud and trump hotel/golf course stuff provides a bigger case for trump being a criminal, but again, so much has been redacted in these filings because it's part of an ongoing investigation. Assuming there is actually something behind those black boxes, then there is more information coming. Based purely on what we have now, I would say he coopted with foreign officials for a variety of reasons but to say the election was a result of collusion is a stretch at least, at worst it's common campaign behavior.

Again, I would wait for the final blast of info from Mueller and the SDNY because I dont think we know the half of it, but as it stands, it's an extremely flimsy case for collusion. I'd assume those black boxes have more damning info behind them but plainly we just won't know until the investigation completes.

Like I said before, I'd be curious to know what effect that Libya lobbying had on the Trudeau administration and what length he was willing to go to protect that (for instance by retaliation on the AG).

In short, I've never once said I believe that Donald Trump conspired with the Russian government to undermine the election. When I reference trump being a criminal you'll see I've repeatedly referenced domestic things, (Epstein, acosta, trump hotel, golf course value inflation for tax evasion, etc). He's still a hardcore criminal and a habitual liar in my book (1 million dollar loan from papa lie becomes 460 million in Fred's money being laundered thru fake corporations to Donald to illegally avoid paying the inheritance tax, everywhere you look there's a crime and a lie to cover it), but I base those things on facts based out of domestic court filings. What we know from russiagate is what I posted and everything else is conjecture. Do I think it's a witch hunt? No. I think the special councils office is doing its job as a watchdog and I think the American people should know the result of that investigation WHEN IT COMPLETES. We aren't even supposed to know that Klimnick stuff but Manaforts lawyers dont know how to redact a pdf. We are intentionally not being told anything about that so I'll make my personal feelings known when we have the actual information.

Lol speaking of flimsy arguments. I guess it would bother me as much as Russia pulling its funding and social media campaign for Blue Lives Matter. In fact less so because soros is legally registered as a lobbyist. Showing there is corrupt billionaires on both sides and money should be out of politics only helps make my point.

The difference isnt like....that someone gave you money to try to get you to pass laws. That's completely legal here, always has been. If you are a guy from a foriegn countries' government lobbying on behalf of them, you are still allowed to do that in America, but you must register with FARA first.

Do I think that should stop? Yeah. Do I think superpacs are the devil? Absolutely. If I saw Soros today would I kick him in the nuts? You betcha.

He does lobby the legal way tho. Or at least, there's no legal proof that hes paying antifa to incite riots which a case could be made is disturbing the peace or inciting riots if some proof is found.

The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) is a United States law passed in 1938 requiring that agents representing the interests of foreign powers in a "political or quasi-political capacity" disclose their relationship with the foreign government and information about related activities and finances. The purpose is to facilitate "evaluation by the government and the American people of the statements and activities of such persons."

fluffs been legal for like 80 years. Lol

That's what they got Manafort on originally was being a Ukrainian lobbyist who was not registered with FARA.

That's why I should point out in my own argument of points for collusion that I'd say Oleg Daripaska was giving illegal campaign contributions lobbying on behalf of Russia for sanctions relief.

Why is that an illegal campaign contribution?

Because Russia is a foreign nation. Daripaska would have to register with FARA as a foreign agent in order to make campaign contributions. Otherwise the transaction itself is legal....which is kinda fluffin crazy but yeah.....

Well, as I said, Trudeau has already violated a federal ethics law. It's not an allegation. It was a different case involving a foreign 'lobbyist' that receives millions from the Canadian government. That said, this recent case is not really about Libya and not what people are upset about. It's complicated and there are other factors including what recently happened with the opposition party but long story short is lobbying and vote buying will likely be the central issue in the next Canadian election and Trudeau is unlikely to win a majority again
If you give a man some fire, he'll be warm for awhile. If you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

So you won't have a problem if George Soros pulls his support for the DNC and stops financing groups like move on dot org and black lives matter...to name a few?


Lol speaking of flimsy arguments. I guess it would bother me as much as Russia pulling its funding and social media campaign for Blue Lives Matter. In fact less so because soros is legally registered as a lobbyist. Showing there is corrupt billionaires on both sides and money should be out of politics only helps make my point.


It should be illegal for foreign entities to put money into our politicians campaigns in every way, shape and form, period.


The big hole in that argument is there are multiple ways to put money into political campaigns. If you're a Republican, you should be pro-anyone putting money into campaigns. Do you think if you said Saudi Arabia can't put money into politics that they wouldn't influence US politics? Why do you think a Saudi prince has a huge investment in Twitter? Why do you think so many foreign companies have stakes in American media? Ban foreign donations and you'll still have foreign money in politics but it will only be swinging one way.

FYI, I agree with the nominal argument (though I think it's be hypocritical for Americans to ban foreign election meddling as America is traditionally the biggest election meddlers around), but actually getting it to work would be nigh impossible. What should be prevented is politicians taking personal gifts in exchange for political favors, which is what Trudeau was caught doing when he violated ethics laws.

Yeah, and is essentially what I'm getting at with Oleg Daripaska. I think that's something you could actually do something about. It's not grounds for impeachment in America or apparently Canada, but it's not a good look.

The blatant witness tampering on Twitter by trump raises alarms of more typical impeachment proceedings. One could bring a case that Cohen's father in law was threatened which is more in line with typical impeachment proceedings. Trudeau is up in 2020 correct? I'd be surprised to hear he gets elected again. It's been one controversy after another since he choked a fluff on the floor. Haha

What I think will ultimately be a funny part of US politics, is that when all these cases resolve and all the information is out, Trump will be at a minimum guilty of lying to Congress. The hilarity starts when the Democrats know they dont have 18 Republican votes to win an impeachment, and know that going for impeachment will probably cost them votes in the 2020 general. The politically smart thing to do will be to win in 2020 and prosecute him after the fact.

However, not bringing impeachment because it is politically smart sets a precedent for how much a president can get away with in the eyes of a Democrat. Itll be fun to watch them have that internal dialogue and ultimately see if the level of crimes is high enough to make them go thru a futile fight that loses them votes. I'll totally be eating popcorn.

One thing the left failed to recognize, is when you hit Trump, he hits back twice as hard and until the Dems and all their surrogates understand that...it'll keep on keeping on.

Yeah but even historically when one side goes apefluff the other side benefits greatly. Impeachment is political suicide. It usually HUGELY benefits the sitting presidents party Haha. It's funny because the last two impeachment trials were actually centered around obstruction of justice and witness tampering. That's what both Nixon and Clinton were on trial for. Trump arguably tampers with witnesses and obstructs justice on Twitter on a weekly basis. Theres blatantly a case for it Haha. If you see an impeachment hearing full of fluff like that, the Republicans will sweep the entire midwest. People targeting trump is not a doomsday scenario for anyone. I do believe Trump will die in prison tho. He'll probably just buy whatever prison he is at and start Trump Prison Corp.

They will be the best prisons. Big, beautiful prisons. 'Uge walls.

Most true. I've had several clearances over my career both military and civilian, and I have never disclosed anything that was classified. However, what Hitlery did was WAY BEYOND just a leak. She was the secretary of state, and had many, many pieces of classified material go through that unsecure little email box of her idiot computer guy built in her basement. The thing that pissed me off the most about that is that the FBI has been running their own little program for a large part of the last decade called "Carnivore" that captures EVERY email sent in the US and archives it in a database. Since Hitlery's email server was in the United States using an IP Address provided by a US Provider, every email that went through that box was captured, and they claim that they need to have the box itself to get the information. That's pure bullfluff, they only need to query that enormous database of the FBI on field 23 looking for "Clintonemail.com" and they'd have them all.
I don't need anger management, people need to stop pissing me off!
