The Robert Mueller Investigation


Hugo Stiglitz

Recommended Posts

In the meantime, in news that the Trumpkins will find to be either fake news, or completely unrelated to Trump, Putin has been funding the far-right in Italy using illicit oil and gas deals to fund "manipulative online persuasion". That's the exact same MO for he used for Trump, selling shares of Rosneft and siphoning off the commission for illicit use. 
Add that to the gold deal Putin gave Arron Banks (lead donor for Brexit and conduit for Russian cash) and Putin's support for Marine LePen and it is an obvious pattern that the Trumpkins will continue to ignore. 
Putin is funding the far right and running social media misinformation campaigns to manipulate the West. He is trying to break up the EU and Nato. All of his moves fit this.

The investigation, which the magazine says was conducted over several months, comes to the conclusion that Russian president Vladimir Putin is selling 3 million tons of diesel fuel via a Russian company to an Italian state company, Eni, that Salvini as interior minister can help manage.

L'Espresso names the first Russian company involved as Avangard Oil & Gas, which has a curiously opaque façade, and is housed on Novinsky Boulevard in Moscow next to major firms like ExxonMobil, Repsol, Shell, Glencore amd Samsung. 

The Russian profits, according to L'Espresso, would then be funneled back to Italy to fund Salvini's Lega [League] party to help it engage in the dark art of manipulative online persuasion ahead of European elections in May. 


Are there people out there who didn’t know this was Putin’s play? If you are aligned with western ethnic-nationalism, you are 100% aligned with Putin and his goals to damage the West. You are collaborating with an enemy of the US. But they don’t fucking care - they’d rather be Russian. That’s where we are.

800 pages 

Only because it attaches the proposed trial exhibits.  The memo itself is only 25 pages.  Kind of curious as it takes no position on the sentence to be imposed, just says he's a shitheel.  Maybe it's the nature of 18 USC 371.  He's looking at 10 max.

But he didn’t lie to his wife. He was open and honest about the fact that he was gonna make her have sex with “a room full of men.” So, you know, he’s admirable for his honesty.

Come to think of it, I haven’t seen any trumpkins call anyone a beta cuck in awhile.

And if he gets off with only 10 years, he wins.  He needs to fucking swing.

It's all white guy crime. You can't put guys like that in regular prison not with real criminals and threats to society like these guys.

Manafort and Flynn and Cohen have the magic leniency ribbon.

10 years is only this case.  The ED Va has about 20 on tap.  Even if they run low and concurrent (say 15 total), Manafort very likely dies in jail.

i think stone is beginning to get the picture that he really can't rely on trump.  if this latest isn't an act, he's realizing what abject panic feels like.

It is classic Greek hubris (ὕβρις). You start as a Nixon man and end as a Trumpkin because nobody ever stopped you. You never pay a price. You believe you are indestructible. Stone would be tragic if he were not so despicable.

Sessions, a proud Christian Southern lawyer and veteran, threw away whatever reputation he had by working for Trump, a draft-dodging Yankee liberal whose got 5 kids by 3 wives and likes barebacking pornstars.   
I'm going to laugh if he goes down even harder.


I said it’s a hard time getting by
With 5 kids and 3 wives
But I been a griftin man
Damn near all my life

Gonna keep on griftin
As long as these tiny hands are fit to use
I’ll text on Adderall in the mornin’
And puff a little of these griftin man’s blues

As we keep looking for evidence of Trump’s treason it’s important that we not lose sight of what Russia did without Trump.  

This was a digital military ambush on American democracy.  Hacking, propagating, disseminating, hijacking of our media to intentionally mislead the public, identity theft, clandestine trolls and bots, subversive micro targeting of segments of our population, both geographically and demographically.

This happened without Trump but it was far more effective with Trump actively embracing their attack on the United States and constantly protecting the Russians by denying their involvement, which he still does to this day.

Stone wants the notoriety and fame of history. He's playing this like it's a movie and he's creating the footage.

I fully expect them to stop denying collusion all together. They will claim that the investigation is a witch hunt and claim innocence when we don't start burning actual witches.

 

No witch, no crime. Fake news.

Pretty much this.  We are about at the point where Giuliani starts ranting about how they colluded, but colluding isn't a crime, so all good.
