Just posting a link to the FBI affidavit on Imwan Awan

It’s interesting reading and shows what the Feds had on him.

Like Faux said:

This is what happens when the establishment and the mainstream media collude to cover up a Democratic scandal.

We’ve all been complaining for years how corrupt the Repubbies are. Well, the Dims are showing us what real corruption looks like.

in my opinion. Both Awan's and Cohen's lawyers have connections to the Clintons. Here is Cohen's lawyer, Lanny Davis on whether Cohen would accept a plea deal. Is Davis looking out for the best interest of his client or is he trying to put the screws to Trump?

Here''s Lanny Davis' statement

DlMsTvcUwAAKem6.jpg

Wow? That's not over the line or anything is it? And who feels that way about Trump? Cohen or Davis?

Reading the morning's headlines I saw the noose tightening around Trump's neck. He is still not willing to say that Russia had anything to do with him winning the election no matter how much shit has been made up to make it seem like they did. Everyday we are seeing more accusations and still there has been no evidence released that shows that they did.

ETA

What lawyer would advise their client to make this bone headed move?

@snoopydawg @snoopydawg

considers his usual/past tactics.

It sorta makes sense that he released this statement, since a GoFundMe page to raise money ($500,000) for Cohen's legal fees has been launched--with Davis named as Administrator.

Cohen launches GoFundMe with $500,000 goal

Lanny Davis, Cohen's lawyer, is listed as the administrator of the page, titled the "Michael Cohen Truth Fund." The page had racked up more than $20,000 in donations as of 9:20 a.m. Wednesday.

"Michael decided to put his family and his country first. Now Michael needs your financial help — to pay his legal fees," the page description states.

The donations will help Cohen "as he goes forward on his journey to tell the truth about Donald Trump," the page states. . . .

Hope you continue to follow this. Will have to mostly lurk for remainder of week, but am also trying to follow this plea deal saga on cell phone. Phones are not allowed in a lot of areas that we're in, lately.

Figure that the main reason Cohen went with Davis (as his attorney) was/is to garner the financial and moral support of Dems/Repub Anti-Trumpers--with an eye on his legal battles/expenses. From what I've heard reported, he's been very concerned about the costs of his legal defense, etc.

there sure seems a big effort to make Cohen's guilty plea seem like there is a big connection to the Russian hacking hype doesn't there?

Let's talk about that claim that Trump asked Russia to hack Hillary's computer shall we? Here is what Trump said about the emails:

Donald Trump directly addresses Russia

TRUMP: Why do I have to get involved with Putin? I have nothing to do with Putin. I've never spoken to him. I don't know anything about him other than he will respect me. He doesn't respect our President. And if it is Russia -- which it's probably not, nobody knows who it is -- but if it is Russia, it's really bad for a different reason, because it shows how little respect they have for our country, when they would hack into a major party and get everything. But it would be interesting to see -- I will tell you this -- >Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.

He is talking about the 30,000 email that Hillary had wiped from her computer after all of her emails that congress told her to turn in. No where did Trump ask Russia to HACK Hillary's computers.

But then CNN goes on to lie about what Trump said. This is just journalistic malpractice in my opinion.

Now, in context, we should note that Trump did not specifically ask Russians to hack Clinton campaign officials, which is what they ended up doing. He was referring to emails from her time as secretary of state that were wiped from the private server where she kept them.

But he did say, "Russia, if you're listening," and then ask them to get Clinton emails. It was a shocking moment in a campaign chock full of them and now it has even more resonance.

Then two years later the FBI came up with the new story that it was the day after he said that that Russia did attempt to hack the computers.

It was "on or about" that same day, according to this indictment, that "the Conspirators attempted after hours to spearfish for the first time email accounts at a domain hosted by a third-party provider and used by Clinton's personal office."

He asked for it and, "for the first time," they started spearfishing email accounts used by Clinton's office

Oops. Apologies Amanda. This had nothing to do with the Awans. I posted this to show how involved the Clintons are with both cases.

Lanny Davis is Clinton to the core. That makes this entire Cohen matter a pre-scripted circus.

Either Trump is an idiot for hiring part of the Clinton machine, or Davis was rolled and told to take Davis as his attorney.

@snoopydawg It really doesn’t matter because this post was just to post the FBI affidavit to show how corrupt this whole mess is. Cohen is just another ‘brick in the wall’.

Someone needs to weigh in about Manafort’s and Papadopoulos trials and convictions. And that weasel Page. The way that investigators went after these people by using a fake dossiers to start an investigation with no limits on who or what they could investigate and who they could indict is, IMO, part and parcel of this entire mess. All this is being rigged by the same people and they are using a rigged legal system to pull it all off.

Now in Imwan’s case, it’s the same rigged system, but in reverse. They narrowed the extent of the charges against him to let HIM walk. The judge fixed it so everything else could not be used against him. Ever. Funny how that worked, isn’t it?

We need to start making a chart on this shit. Two columns. One for those who really DID try to rig the election and the other side for the schmucks who are on the other side and ARE being coerced into cooperating and the ones that were indicted for crimes unrelated to Booby’s ‘-vich’ hunt. I can’t, I’m on this goofy iPhone. I could do something on my laptop, except my internet is on my phone. I could make one but it would be really difficult.

I missed it earlier this afternoon. Pardon I'm sorta pushed, now, but I'll post a couple of my thoughts about this topic next week.

I heard the 'Doral' Presser in real time, and, IMO, it's no accident that the corporatist MSM is collectively/deliberately taking his words out of context. Also, it was a very contentious Press Conference, especially between WH reporters Katy Tur/Jim Acosta and DT. (Which is not to say that he had no knowledge, at all, of stolen emails. But, this Presser certainly was not proof of it, by any stretch of the imagination.)

Plus, as you mentioned, he was referring to FSC's deleted (so-called) personal emails. And, as you mentioned, he was opining that he hoped someone would produce "already obtained/stolen emails"--he didn't direct Russia to 'hack' into anyone's computer in order to steal them.

in the Awan whitewash. They had to have collusion with those in power within the FBI, the CIA and the DOJ in order to sweep this under the table so effectively. Most likely these were the very same characters who have whitewashed the Clinton server affair. They are also the same people who have been fueling the Trump/Russia collusion canard as a false flag cover to evade scrutiny.

Eventually the truth will come to light. The Clinton machine has done more damage to America in the last two decades than Nixon ever did at his worst - his damage was only domestic. The Clinton's damage has been both domestic and global. We now have a country that is torn in half internally as well as having the worst foreign relations problems since the height of the Cold War.

BTW, Trump didn't start this crap himself. Too many people in positions of power within the Dims along with their cohorts in the MSM are willing to completely destroy the country rather than have Trump remain as President.

Here we will see what Awan's Clinton attorney had to say about Trump as well as more dirt on the Awan family.

The decision just keeps getting worse and more difficult to believe after everything we know about the things that the Awan family did when they had complete access to 44 democrats' computers.

JUDGE GIVES NO JAIL TIME TO IMRAN AWAN, ATTORNEY CLAIMS HE WAS BUILDING ‘WOMEN’S SHELTER’

> Former IT aide Imran Awan received no jail time Tuesday after a federal judge said he had “suffered enough.”
> His lawyer said his “destitute” client was building a charity hospital, but reports show that the land was also used for a real estate development and was allegedly stolen from farmers.
> Former Democratic chiefs of staff wrote letters of support for Imran, despite IT-violation findings by the House inspector general and Capitol Police.

A federal judge declined to give jail time to former Democratic IT aide Imran Awan Tuesday, saying he has “suffered enough” at the hands of politicians “at the highest levels of government.” In addition, the Department of Justice said it did not find any evidence that supported criminal charges.

Imran choked back tears, saying, “We want to thank the prosecution, the FBI and the Capitol Police,” while his lawyer submitted a letter referring to President Donald Trump, Sen. Chuck Grassley and other Republications as “deranged,” “pathetic” and “without a shred of decency.”

Judge Tanya Chutkin gave Imran three months of supervised release. Imran’s attorney had hoped to avoid the supervision, indicating Imran wanted to go back to Pakistan: “By ending this today, you will allow Hina to build her family wherever she chooses and allow Imran to visit his father’s grave and secure his legacy,” the attorney said.

The lawyer, former Hillary Clinton aide Chris Gowen, said Imran was motivated by love for his father, who was dying in Virginia when Imran flew to Pakistan. Imran, he said, was in a “panic” to get money to urgently build a charity hospital, described in court as a “women’s shelter.” He described the urgent moves as “securing his father’s legacy.

The story is at odds with a 2009 Pakistani newspaper article, police reports and lawsuits in Pakistan, as well as interviews. Those allege Imran tried to cut others out of a fraud-plagued real estate deal and secure a massive inheritance in the form of a major real estate complex, known as a “colony.”

A dozen farmers accused Imran and his father of stealing their land and subdividing it to build the development. The 2009 article said that Imran used political “muscle” stemming from his job in Congress to attempt to frame his alleged victims. Later, Faisalabad Agricultural University faculty apparently paid for some of those plots, but said that they, too, were ripped off. Dr. Zafar Iqbal, a university professor and president of the faculty association, told TheDCNF that Imran and his father refused to turn over the deeds and that in January 2017, Imran cautioned them that he “has got powerful political connections.”

trying to explain that I don’t like or support Trump, I am angry about what the Dims did/are doing is absolutely criminal.

Can’t get that simple concept through to her. She started a conversation the other day about this mess and when I brought up the setup by the Dims using a fake dossier The Clinton Creature, the DNC, and Obama paid for she hung up on me. She’s usually not so obtuse.
