So, just to be clear, you are continuing to go with this angle (and the usual retards are right there with you) that there is existing intel on this that has been out there for over a year now?  Seems unlikely.  Especially considering that the house and senate intel committees, by law, get to see all of that intel and, amazingly, none of them have ever acknowledged it.  Your boy Schiff?  Guy that wrote the rebuttal to Nunes' memo?  Not a word about any of this.  Shocking.  How about Feinstein and Warner and Munchin?  All of them are on the intel committee and none of them have said they have seen any collusion.  The most they will say is that they have think the trump jr meeting was an "attempt" to collude.

So there are only 2 possibilities, 1) the intel agencies have committed crimes by withholding info from the senate and house committees or 2) there is no secret intel that shows collusion and has been out there for over a year.

Go fuck your face with smokey's dick you dissembling, disingenuous bag of cat shit.

There's loads of evidence of collusion. It's everywhere, starting with the Trump tower meeting and all of the emails about that meeting.

Wait, your big issue with this is that you think it's impossible to imagine that British intelligence would provide information to US intelligence, and that House/Senate committees wouldn't make it public knowledge?  That's absurd and utterly clownish. 

And going back to the Nunes memo, and the FISA application it selectively pulled from, the idea that British intel were providing US intel with information fits in seamlessly.  The FISA warrant indicates that they didn't think Steele provided information on an article which quoted "Western intel" sources.  They were wrong, but the fact that they thought it could be anyone else than Steele would imply they believed there were other "Western intel" sources which might have provided it.

No.  My issue is that the House (completed) and Senate did their own investigations of the collusion angle.  The members of those intel committees are privy to ALL of the intelligence that is available from the intel community.  That means that Adam Schiff has seen all of the intel compiled from our intel agencies to date.  And yes this would include any intel from the British.  All of it.  So have Nunes (even though retard pods thinks he doesn't have a security clearance) and Gowdy.  They have closed their investigation and have found that there was, essentially, no collusion.  Now I fully realize that these side investigations are pretty worthless in the grand scheme of things.  But the people that conduct them have seen all of the intelligence related to the issue.

But people on here are arguing that there is direct, smoking gun type evidence of collusion provided by foreign govts from as early as 2016.  The only thing that is "absurd and utterly clownish" is that people believe this.  You think it is possible that a guy like Trey Gowdy has been shown foreign intel that shows irrefutable collusion between trump co and the russians and that he just disregarded it and co-authored the House memo with Nunes?  That is absurd and utterly clownish.

false.

Nunes and Gowdy believe they are privy to it, but they haven't seen all of it by any stretch.  That's what this deal is all about re considering holding the DAG Rosenstein in contempt - they're not getting to see all of what the OSC has, and they shouldn't as it relates to an ongoing investigation.  Rosenstein has been very clear about this.  What Nunes is attempting is unprecedented and is occurring for corrupt purposes.  What they seek is the smoking gun evidence OSC has possessed from its inception.

You serious?  You can start with the post I was responding too and search for any one of hundreds of posts on here that claim there is foreign intel that will bring everyone down.

But you asserted yourself into this argument by mis-representing my point, which I have now made clear.  So how about you answer.  Do you believe that there is intel, foreign or otherwise, that the intel community has not shared with the various political committees that are investigating collusion?  That there is supposedly explosive intel that proves collusion on the part of trumpco?  Either it doesn't exist, or it does exist and either Gowdy read it and ignored it (which is impossible) or the intel community has broken the law by not sharing it.

JFC.  You have no clue what you are talking about.  The intel community must, by law, give the various intel committees any evidence they have.  Nunes and others are questioning the SOURCE of certain intel and wanting access to the investigative files that show means and procedures for the investigation and the DOJ does not want to provide that info.  I can see both sides of that argument.  But, there is zero argument that when the heads of the various intel agencies and agents who work in those agencies are made to testify to members of the intel committees in hearings that they can not withhold ANY intelligence they have found.  They can claim they do not want to name where the evidence came from or how they got it, butt hey have to disclose the evidence.

Just go back yourself and read the questioning the house and senate investigators asked the members of the intel community under oath.  You seem to actually think they could be asked direct questions about collusion evidence and just lie.

Seems like you could have saved a lot of typing, but been more convincing, had you simply quoted someone claiming there was smoking gun evidence provided by the British in 2016.

Attorneys for former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort asked a judge to bar any mention of President Trump from Manafort's upcoming trial, according to new court filings. 

According to court filings obtained by CBS News, Manafort's lawyers argue that his alleged crimes occurred before joining the Trump campaign, meaning any mention of the president would be irrelevant. The lawyers wrote that mention of Trump during Manafort's trial could taint jurors' perception of him, influencing their decision in his case.

"[T]here is a very real risk that the jurors in this case - most of whom likely have strong views about President Trump, or have likely formed strong opinions as to the well-publicized allegations that the campaign colluded with Russian officials - will be unable to separate their opinions and beliefs about those matters from the tax and bank fraud matters to be tried before them in this case," they wrote.

News of Manafort's request comes after the judge in the case, Judge T.S. Ellis III, questioned federal prosecutorsworking for special counsel Robert Mueller's office on their indictment of Manafort. Ellis, at times, lost his temper as he pressed one of Mueller's lawyers on whether the indictment was being used as leverage against Trump.

Prosecutors fired back in a court filing, arguing the question was inconsequential.

"The government's reasons for initiating a prosecution have nothing to do with whether the evidence at trial proves the elements of the charged offenses, which is the sole question that the jury must answer," prosecutors wrote, according to CBS.

Manafort was ordered to jail earlier this month after a judge found him to be in violation of his bail agreement, accusing him of attempting to tamper with a witness.

The former Trump campaign chairman is accused of bank fraud, money laundering and failing to register as a foreign agent with the Justice Department, regarding his lobbying work for pro-Russia political parties in Ukraine prior to the 2016 election.

He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

"The government's reasons for initiating a prosecution have nothing to do with whether the evidence at trial proves the elements of the charged offenses, which is the sole question that the jury must answer," prosecutors wrote, according to CBS.

While this is, ultimately true, judges should be more aggressive than they are in questioning the prosecution's motives, especially in the context of a plea bargain.  It's a check on prosecutorial discretion, which is run amok in the US.

Pretty much the only thing that would surprise me is if Trump was a trained KGB operative.

Not because Russia didn’t try, but because Trump is too incompetent to learn anything.

Not one of those would surprise me. I don't think 1 and 3 are likely, 2 is a virtual certainty. 

Regarding 3, I don't think votes were changed, but I think it's very plausible that voter registrations were altered/deleted.

I can see #1 being possible in the sense that the girls were supposedly age of consent (15yo or whatever in Russia) and Trump thinking it's cool cause it's totally legal there.
