Has Ty Cobb been right about anything related to the Russia investigation?

I feel like I remember him making a least 2 other, similar statements that were completely wrong.

Corn Cobb is a modern day Nostradamus. This investigation will be wrapped up by Xmas

I feel like I’m in a constant flux state of amused and terrified that 1/3 of my country sincerely thinks that Trump and his team are slam-dunking everything in a parade of kickass swamp draining and truth telling.

We better put some huge names in jail for a long rear end time when Mueller finally drops his big bombs. Ford pardoning Nixon was a mistake that shouldn’t be repeated.

trump tried to hire actual good lawyers and they refused because of one or more of: (a) fear trump wouldn't pay them; (b) fear that recruiting new lawyers to 'trumps law firm' would be impossible; (c) keeping clients and getting new ones at 'trumps law firm' would be impossible; and (d) trump is a goddamned buffoon who will destroy the reputation of even the best lawyer when he ignores all advice

If by "without preconditions" you mean "with only a few preconditions"


quote:

The top US diplomat laid out one caveat: North Korea would have to ensure a period of quiet during talks.

"If there was any condition at all to any of this, is that, look, it's going to be tough to talk if, in the middle of talks, you decide to test another device," Tillerson said.
"So I clearly think they understand that if we are going to talk, we have to have period of quiet ... or it's going to be very difficult to have productive discussions. And so we continue to indicate to them, we need a period of quiet. You need to tell us you want to talk, the door is open. But we'll show up when you tell us you're ready to talk."

When asked what the president's latest thoughts were regarding the Mueller investigation, Cobb pulled a scrying mirror from his pocket and stared into it for a while before replying "The voice of the unusual bird will be heard in the pipe of the breathing floor".

It does provide some schadenfreude that Trump has made his own name so toxic that even lawyers, known to be fine with shielding the worst people for enough money, aren’t willing to associate themselves with him.

Also reminds me of an insane pro-Trump ex-coworker. When I brought up that Trump scammed contractors and refused to pay them, he said that’s how people do smart business; it’s how you get rich. At least it appears the high profile law offices are not so mentally impaired.

there is a meaningful difference between that and "accept that these negotiations are only about how we denuclearize you", that's more of a "demonstrate you're actually willing to make any sort of compromise"

of course, a sane person might ask what evidence there is trump is willing to compromise, or hold to a deal for longer than it takes the person to leave the room

Canada is basically a savestate of the US; we watch the States, see what they did wrong and try to avoid doing that.

Sometimes we're not paying attention though and we gently caress up in exactly the same way.
