Bernstein is claiming to have been told Mueller’s report will show that Trump knowingly worked with Putin to destabilize the US for money.

I’d normally discuss crap like this, but Bernstein is pretty credible.

The shutdown is helping destabilize the country right now so hmmm

Yeah the State of New York has a whole lot of evidence of tax evasion, evidenced by NY shutting down his slush fund 'charity', and can put him away for the rest of his natural life ala Madoff. The only reason NY is not prosecuting the case right now is because of the whole "Can the Pres be charged with a crime" question that :kav: is completely against so NY isn't pushing the issue right now.

Also if Trump is convicted of a crime of the State of New York, then he cannot be pardoned by the President of the United States, only by the Governor of New York. I don't think that will happen.

I can’t watch the segment, but this reads to me like Newsweek is heavily overselling what Bernstein said for clickbait. Bernstein seems to be talking about the subject matter of the report, not claiming that he was leaked conclusions from the report.

quote:

Legendary journalist Carl Bernstein has said that he’s been told that special counsel Robert Mueller’s report will show how President Donald Trump helped Russia “destabilize the United States.”

Bernstein, who is renowned for his coverage of the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of former President Richard Nixon, appeared onCNN’s Reliable Sources on Sunday to discuss two bombshell reports released this weekend, one from The New York Times and one from The Washington Post, which revealed new details about whether or not Trump and his aides have colluded with Russia.


The Post reported that Trump has gone to “extraordinary lengths” to conceal direct conversations he has had with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Times article revealed that the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation into Trump after he fired former bureau director James Comey in 2017, suspecting the president could be working on behalf of Russia. Trump has angrily denied allegations that he worked with Russia and has regularly attacked the media for reporting on the investigation. But Bernstein slammed Trump’s dismissal of the probe.

“This is about the most serious counterintelligence people we have in the U.S. government saying, ‘Oh, my God, the president’s words and actions lead us to conclude that somehow he has become a witting, unwitting, or half-witting pawn, certainly in some regards, to Vladimir Putin,'” Bernstein explained during his appearance on Reliable Sources .

“From a point of view of strength… rather, he has done what appears to be Putin’s goals. He has helped Putin destabilize the United States and interfere in the election, no matter whether it was purposeful or not,” the journalist added. He then explained that he knew from his own high-level sources that Mueller’s report would discuss this assessment.

“And that is part of what the draft of Mueller’s report, I’m told, is to be about,” he said. “We know there has been collusion by [former national security adviser Michael] Flynn. We know there has been collusion of some sort by [Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul] Manafort. The question is, yes, what did the president know and when did he know it?”

Trump has defended himself against such reports, arguing, inaccurately, that he has taken a hardline stance against Russia.

“I have been FAR tougher on Russia than Obama, Bush or Clinton. Maybe tougher than any other President. At the same time, & as I have often said, getting along with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. I fully expect that someday we will have good relations with Russia again! [sic],” he wroteon Twitter on Saturday.

However, the president’s 2016 campaign remains the subject of a special investigation led by Mueller. Several former high-ranking Trump aides have been indicted in the probe and last week, it was revealed that Manafort shared confidential polling data with an associate linked to Russian-intelligence. 

Trump's administration recently moved to remove financial sanctions on an ally of Putin, and has recently pulled troops out of Syria -- a long-standing demand from the Russian President


So I guess he's contending someone inside told him about it, I don't know if I'd let that give me hope. On the one hand, Bernstein, on the other, the last few years

There’s no way he isn’t indicted unless Pence pardons him.

And no, the Dem President won’t pardon him because Trumps absurd list of crimes aren’t things that a future President might be worried that might apply to them after they leave office. Like if Obama went after Bush for the Iraq War while knowing he himself would still conduct military action across the Mid East.

I could see Pence being a snake in the grass and not pardoning Trump but only if the polls showed it would be better for his election chances.

I don't feel like that needed establishing, but I've been thinking and if a scenario arises where AOC get's into it with Chris Cilliza on twitter over something I will 100% pull out the popcorn for that one. Outside of one particular hack Toronto Star sportswriter I don't think I've ever held as much contempt for a "journalist" as captain loving obvious TMZ correspondent tier Chris Cilliza. If you're even the slightest politically interested person whose successfully completed one high school grade level course in critical thinking you've probably already connected the dots before Cilliza has finished his article pointing out the utterly bleeding obvious yet again.

I guess for some it's entertaining, but I'm not really all that interested in the battle that get fought on twitter threads so much as the ones that happen in Congress over policy. The cycle of somebody attacks her, she claps back and everybody talks about how yes indeed she is very good at twitter burns kind of wore thin on me a while back. I'm just waiting to see what progressive legislation this Democratic house can try to transform into policy at this point which is the score sheet that kind of matters to me. Not that it's likely to get past the Senate or Trump who seem poised to vote down every single thing the House goes to pass along partisan lines just because that's the way the GOP controlled chambers of Washington have worked during the McConnell era.

This is all assuming that they ever get the government open again which with Trump in the White House I don't see the solution for since it's not like he gives a solitary poo poo about proper governance. I'm honestly convinced even if they put a bill on his desk that has the funding he asked for he'll veto it anyway for some on the spot reason just to be as big of a poo poo as humanly possible.

Congress is just a 250 year old social network used primarily by old rich assholes.

Portugal gives those medals to anyone that's slightly relevant in other countries.I'm pretty sure we gave one of those to tom hanks because his grandpa was Portuguese.
The Portuguese spy started selling NATO secrets in 2014 and was caught in April 2016.the stuff he was selling was everyday nato stuff,and personal notes about key players in Portugal,stuff that Russia can and does get in a variety of other ways.
