Russia! Video Mash-ups

That was an actual glitch at MSNBC just a few days into the Trump presidency. It turns out it was just the ironic start of a trend.

getting your hopes up day after day only to have them quashed day after day?

Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.

@Pricknick
I'm in a dinner group that is filled with hopeless Trump haters. "Now that Cohen is in jail Trump will be indicted the day he leaves office." Such delusional wishful thinking is pathetic.
But then it reminds me of our certainty that Killery (The Kill Crazy Lovecraftian Horror) will be indicted any minute now.

...still think that everything they are seeing is real. They think it's real reporting about a real investigation. They don't see it as kabuki theater... maneuverings among the oligarchs. Trump will be impeached if his oligarchy faction loses and not before. Ditto with Hillary going to jail. Both of them are WAY too big to jail right now.

A lot of wanderers in the U.S. political desert recognize that all the duopoly has to offer is a choice of mirages. Come, let us trudge towards empty expanse of sand #1, littered with the bleached bones of Deaniacs and Hope and Changers.

The Cohen guilty plea is supposedly what ties Trump to Vlad and their collusion right? Not so fast.

For Trump, Cohen Plea Deal's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Exoneration

The nine-page charging document filed with the plea deal suggests that the special counsel is using the Moscow tower talks to connect Trump to Russia. But congressional investigators with House and Senate committees leading inquiries on the Russia question told RealClearInvestigations that it looks like Mueller withheld from the court details that would exonerate the president. They made this assessment in light of the charging document, known as a statement of “criminal information” (filed in lieu of an indictment when a defendant agrees to plead guilty); a fuller accounting of Cohen’s emails and text messages that Capitol Hill sources have seen; and the still-secret transcripts of closed-door testimony provided by a business associate of Cohen.

On page 7 of the statement of criminal information filed against Cohen, which is separate from but related to the plea agreement, Mueller mentions that Cohen tried to email Russian President Vladimir Putin’s office on Jan. 14, 2016, and again on Jan. 16, 2016. But Mueller, who personally signed the document, omitted the fact that Cohen did not have any direct points of contact at the Kremlin, and had resorted to sending the emails to a general press mailbox. Sources who have seen these additional emails point out that this omitted information undercuts the idea of a “back channel” and thus the special counsel's collusion case.

Page 2 of the same criminal information document holds additional exculpatory evidence for Trump, sources say. It quotes an August 2017 letter from Cohen to the Senate intelligence committee in which he states that Trump “was never in contact with anyone about this [Moscow Project] proposal other than me.” This section of Cohen’s written testimony, unlike other parts, is not disputed as false by Mueller, which sources say means prosecutors have tested its veracity through corroborating sources and found it to be accurate.

Also notable, Mueller did not challenge Cohen’s statement that he “ultimately determined that the proposal was not feasible and never agreed to make a trip to Russia.”

“Though Cohen may have lied to Congress about the dates,” one Hill investigator said, “it's clear from personal messages he sent in 2015 and 2016 that the Trump Organization did not have formal lines of communication set up with Putin’s office or the Kremlin during the campaign. There was no secret ‘back channel.’”

“So as far as collusion goes,” the source added, "the project is actually more exculpatory than incriminating for Trump and his campaign.”

Mueller’s office declined comment to RealClearInvestigations.

Kinda looking like Mueller is playing fast and loose with the truth about what he is getting people to plead guilty for. People don't want to question whether the things that they have been told are true or not. Just today I read that "All 17 intelligence agencies agree that Russia interfered with the election" even though this has been debunked for over a year. It was 3 intelligence agencies, but that was only the directors of them. Brennan, Clapper and the dude from the NSA.....
this same person repeated the $50 million condo deal which never happened. Cohen never even discussed this with Trump.

Mueller is now turning his focus to the Saudis and Israel as reported here. This sure looks like it means that Mueller Gate is never, ever going to end. He has spent $30,000,000 on this so far. As much as it's cost for Trump to go golfing as many times as he has. We're getting ripped off.

This isn't anything that we didn't know before, but this article shows how he was willing to bend the rules. He has protected Hillary going back to when he was involved in Clinton's administration and he protected her again when he failed to prosecute her for using her private email server. Many attorneys have stated that they could bring a case against her.

No glory in James Comey getting away with his abuse of FBI power

Then there was Comey’s response to being fired. He removed memos on his meetings with President Trump related to the Russia investigation, then leaked those to the media. The Justice Department rejected Comey’s claims that these were his memos, not FBI material. Some of the material was classified. He violated core FBI rules in removing the memos, and the man tasked to find leakers became a leaker as soon as it suited his own interests. He also undermined the investigation by revealing to Trump and others that the memos existed, information that investigators likely preferred to remain secret before they conducted key interviews.

OT: could this be the spark that sets off our own Yellow Vests movement? Deliberate attempt to start something? Paranoid? Moi?

Chicago, Suburban Mayors Call for Hike That Could Make Illinois’ Gas Tax Highest in Nation

Suburban mayors joined Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to ask Illinois lawmakers to raise the state's gas tax by 20 to 30 cents a gallon, a proposal that could make Illinois' motor fuel tax the highest in the nation and ensure that per gallon taxes increase yearly with the rate of inflation.

No matter that wages don't rise even as much as $.20-.30 for many people or the rich keeps getting tax cuts.
