So we are supposed to believe that Mueller just recently found out that Manafort visited Assange multiple times in March, 2016? How can people not see that they are being manipulated and fed pure grade A bullshit? With as many times as we have been lied to including by Robert Mueller who stated unequivocally that Saddam had WMDs?

Does the person who wrote this comment not see how asinine it is for him to believe this?

Yes, the meeting in the Ecuadoran embassy between Manafort and Assange is huge. There’s no legitimate reason for Manafort to be there.

Incidentally, just how fking stupid would Manafort (or arrogant, I recall Manafort’s arrogance in an interview on MSNBC), would Manafort have to be to believe that his entire “good faith” defense in “cooperation” relied upon lying about meeting with Assange at the Ecuadoran Embassy in London!!!

I have to assume that if Mueller and his FBI wanted to, they could pinpoint exactly where I was on that exact same fking day, even though I wasn’t traveling on a passport, not traveling in an international city with more cameras than people, not traveling to a gdamn embassy (!!!) to meet with an internationally famous conspirator, jeezus, the stupidity (or arrogance) really begins to add up on that “dot.”

I soooo hope that Mueller set Trump up with some well-placed diversion lies. I don’t just want Trump ruined, I want him ruined with a trick, I want him ruined knowing he got chumped, one-upp’d, I want him feeling small, cornered, ...silly ….weak. I want that badly.

I would say that the one who is f'cking stupid is the one who believes this.

BTW. The Guardian was caught lying about how Assange tried to arrange slipping out of the embassy and going to Russia because Vlad was going to let him stay there and be room mates with Snowden.

The source for the story sets Manafort’s visit to Assange in March of 2016

The source? That's it? Just the source? Well who is that source and where has he been for over two years while holding on to this information? Good Gawd. America's IQ had slipped big time since Trump was elected.

When I looked at the original wikileaks tweet there sure we a TON of responses that seemed entirely repetitive in content and style... frequently happening in groups. Much of it seemed to be at about the 3rd grade level. Is that what Democrats have come to now?

FYI: Amy Goodman sold out a few years ago for $1 million to the Carnagie and Ford Foundations. Since then her show has been hit and miss, but mostly miss. She had a Syrian warlord on her show explaining how this country was trying to save the Syrians from Assad who was killing his citizens. No mention of our country illegally invading Syria and using Al Qaida to help overthrow Assad. Or that we had killed hundreds of thousands of citizens and made many more refugees.

I have tried finding the article I read on this that was written by Sibel Edmonds. Still looking...

to see the Guardian, a once-great newspaper, descending into this. Also, Amy Goodman on DemocracyNow this morning was repeating the US establishment line that the Russian annexation of Crimea (after a vote) was illegal without mentioning that the overthrow of the Yanukovych government was a coup led by fascists supported by the US. It seems to me that a recent, very effective, tactic of the corporate, imperialist powers that be is to co-opt formerly progressive, or at least sentient and analytical, news sources. Trump is instrumental in this in that he is so obviously bad that many think that anyone who doesn't run about screaming as though one's hair is on fire every time the name Trump is mentioned must be spawn of Satan or Putin (or maybe they are the same). Every bit of crap news that condemns Russia or Trump is accepted with little questioning and it makes the uncritical left so easy to manipulate.

What's to keep Mueller or Moreno from doctoring the tapes and the log book? After realizing that Russia Gate is not going to go away I'm thinking that the PTB have so much invested in it that they will not allow it to fade away. Evah! Nope. Russia Gate is here to stay to be pulled out whenever they need to pin something on Russia or anyone who they want to frame. And why not? People have fallen for the new WMDs scam without blinking an eye.

Good lord. After how many times they have lied us into wars and other acts you would think that people would wise up and not keep falling for the bullshit. At least question some of what they say now and then. But sadly no.

Former British diplomat Craig Murray has just written an article debunking the claim that Paul Manafort visited Julian Assange. Link: https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/

A quote from the article:
"The problem with this latest fabrication is that Moreno had already released the visitor logs to the Mueller inquiry. Neither Manafort nor these “Russians” are in the visitor logs.

This is impossible. The visitor logs were not kept by Wikileaks, but by the very strict Ecuadorean security. Nobody was ever admitted without being entered in the logs. The procedure was very thorough. To go in, you had to submit your passport (no other type of document was accepted). A copy of your passport was taken and the passport details entered into the log. Your passport, along with your mobile phone and any other electronic equipment, was retained until you left, along with your bag and coat. I feature in the logs every time I visited.

There were no exceptions. For an exception to be made for Manafort and the “Russians” would have had to be a decision of the Government of Ecuador, not of Wikileaks, and that would be so exceptional the reason for it would surely have been noted in the now leaked supposed Ecuadorean “intelligence report” of the visits. What possible motive would the Ecuadorean government have for facilitating secret unrecorded visits by Paul Manafort? Furthermore it is impossible that the intelligence agency – who were in charge of the security – would not know the identity of these alleged “Russians”.

First line proves my point.

The right wing Ecuadorean government of President Moreno continues to churn out its production line of fake documents regarding Julian Assange, and channel them straight to MI6 mouthpiece Luke Harding of the Guardian.

If Mueller wants a visitors log with Manafort on it or anyone else he's going to get it. I'm seeing articles that say that because Corsi sent an email saying that Wikileaks is going to be releasing some of Hillary's and Podesta's emails that means that he had been in contact with Assange.

I guess no one remembers that Wikileaks told the world that he would be doing that "soon " and before the election. If they want you guilty then they will manufacture the evidence that you are.

@The Liberal Moonbat

He was Obama's preacher before Barry dumped him over his speech. If you listen or read the whole thing he wasn't wrong. He was talking about how blacks have been treated.

I haven't heard about that guy in a while - never particularly thought I would again.
