Honest question, if Hillary had won would any of this Russian stuff come out?

It seems like everyones plan was "lets not shame ourselves by revealing how badly Russia hosed us" under the assumption that Hillary would win, then she didn't.

Since this is the Post and the FISA court doesn't operate in the way described I'm assuming this is just Trump getting his friends to try to smoke out leakers.

Reminder that the accord says every country can determine their own standards so when Trump says he wants a better deal, he's just lying outright.

edit: or is just unaware of what he's removing us from which is probably more likely.

Uhm, only if you ignore the fact that every single statement he makes is a lie.

Well he actually admitted global warming is real halfway through the speech which was surprising and his base will probably ignore it completely.

Nice to know whatever slim chance of the travel ban surviving the court is now incredibly dead.

I hope I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the only way the ban dies in SCOTUS is if they amend the constitution to include Trump's thoughts.

Please, elaborate.

I think the current ban, as written with no outside context, is likely constitutional and I can't see the majority of sitting judges acknowledging Trump's tweets and interviews.

Is anyone watching this? Rogers is trashing that story and saying he's never been pressured or ordered to do anything illegal.

He's not denying the story, he's just denying that the president pressured him or felt that it was an illegal request. Since he isn't outright denying it I'm assuming he felt that Trump was just being an idiot and not malicious.

Hello

Well there it is.

quote:

A few moments later, the President said, �I need loyalty, I expect loyalty.�
I didn�t move, speak, or change my facial expression in any way during the
awkward silence that followed. We simply looked at each other in silence. The
conversation then moved on, but he returned to the subject near the end of our
dinner.

# ¿ Jun 7, 2017 18:53

Phoix: Jul 20, 2006

quote:

He said he would do that and added, �Because I have been very loyal to
you, very loyal; we had that thing you know.� I did not reply or ask him what he
meant by �that thing.� I said only that the way to handle it was to have the White
House Counsel call the Acting Deputy Attorney General. He said that was what
he would do and the call ended.
That was the last time I spoke with President Trump.

I really hope the "tapes" Trump talked about was that interaction and he was trying to make it sound like he and Comey teamed up for some illegal poo poo??

Trump Under Oath would commit the most perjuries per second of any man who has ever given sworn testimony.

Trump under oath is a loving treasure.

quote:

Q: Have you ever not been truthful?

A: My net worth fluctuates, and it goes up and down with markets and with attitudes and with feelings, even my own feelings, but I try.

Q: Let me just understand that a little bit. Let�s talk about net worth for a second. You said that the net worth goes up and down based upon your own feelings?

A: Yes, even my own feelings, as to where the world is, where the world is going, and that can change rapidly from day to day. Then you have a September 11th, and you don�t feel so good about yourself and you don�t feel so good about the world and you don�t feel so good about New York City. Then you have a year later, and the city is as hot as a pistol. Even months after that it was a different feeling. So yeah, even my own feelings affect my value to myself.

Q: When you publicly state what you�re worth, what do you base that number on?

A: I would say it�s my general attitude at the time that the question may be asked. And as I say, it varies.

They're extremely mad about the Trump/Caesar play and the media. They're always calling for democrats to be wiped out though.

what are those?

This is a good article about Felix Sater but this is the relevant part.

quote:

In 1998, Sater pleaded guilty to a federal charge of racketeering for his role in a Mafia-linked $40-million stock fraud scheme. He quickly cut a deal, agreeing to become a secret FBI informant in hopes of getting a lenient sentence.

Court records were sealed to protect Sater�s identity, so his role in the fraud case stayed secret for a decade while he was at Bayrock. After a court hearing in 2009, he was fined $25,000 but was not sent to prison or ordered to pay restitution.

At his sentencing hearing, several FBI officials vouched for Sater�s help. He got his biggest endorsement in January 2015 when Loretta Lynch was asked at her Senate confirmation hearing for U.S. attorney general why court records had been sealed in the fraud case.

Sater had secretly worked with federal prosecutors and the FBI for more than 10 years, �providing information crucial to national security and the conviction of over 20 individuals, including those responsible for committing massive financial fraud and members of La Cosa Nostra� � the Mafia � according to Lynch, who had served as U.S. attorney in the Eastern District in New York.

edit: the idea being that since Trump worked with Sater's company Bayrock there is probably something about him in the records.

Really enjoying the loud groans throughout the senate every time Cornyn tries to blame the dems for not participating in the bill.
