Stormy Daniels was the one making all of the noise. I thought that's who he was talking about. But either/or, I'm pretty sure Trump didn't go looking for her, either.

I mean sure give Trump some sympathy for being blackmailed (if you can muster sympathy for scum who cheat) if you want , does that change the end result as it relates to the law though? No, the law is the law. Not sure where SC is going with it because it will never end in a successful impeachment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, the investigators knew what the crime committed was that they were giving immunity for -- because they already had evidence that the crime had been committed. Here, immunity is offered for that crime because they want testimony to build further evidence against someone higher up the chain of responsibility. In the Clinton case, they couldn't show that a crime had been committed by the people they offered immunity to. There, immunity was offered in order to reveal information the investigators wouldn't have been able to otherwise obtain. Nothing to do with politics. Everything to do with what the investigation is able to evidence. You're kidding...right?! Wow, just....wow!! They gave immunity and then got nothing...they gave immunity knowing full well Hillary's associates were not going to testify.....that was the plan. No testimony, no charges. To say they couldn't show a crime had been committed in Hillary's case....without hearing their testimony ....is ridiculous!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did they know this tech guy existed in order to give him immunity? How about subpoena his behind and threaten him with jail time if he doesn't testify like theTrump associates? At least 5 Clinton aides were given immunity before the FBI had any idea what they knew, before any interviews. That has hinkey written all over it.

GlitterRose Posted December 16, 2018 #59 Share Posted December 16, 2018 (edited) Their lugenpresse at every checkstand in America did not go unnoticed, and they should not get immunity. Regardless of whether anyone actually purchased their rag, everyone saw their propaganda. Shame on the Enquirer. A new low...even for them.

Hankenhunter Posted December 16, 2018 #60 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Here's an interview with Michael Cohen explaining where he went wrong and a few words about his ex-crime boss. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/michael-cohen-talks-george-stephanopoulos-transcript/story?id=59816305 For the record, I don't believe his sincerity about making amends. If he hadn't been caught, he would still be gleefully working for Trump. Hank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't fall for the propaganda. It's perfectly legal. A candidate is supposed to do whatever they can to influence voters into their camp. Of course, in Trump's case, spin masters have done a great job in making people think that "influencing the election" is illegal. Creating the dossier as political fodder is one thing. The friggin' government that's in power using it to spy on and then attempt to crucify the incoming president is a whole new dimension of wrong. It strikes at the very heart of our system and if someone isn't held accountable, all trust in future governments will be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal is, t the prosecution is saying the national enquirer owner, Mr. Pecker got in way to deep and got caught coordinating payments with the Trump election committee. That then becomes a crime IF it is true. Depends on who is willing to testify to what. Until and If he gets this behind him, he as effectively become a lame duck leader. He isn't a lame duck until he fails to win reelection. If the crazies have their way, he'll ride the Impeachment train to another 4 years. He seems reluctant to allow all the info on the FISA warrants to be publicized. If he's holding that for the reelection, he'd better reconsider. He may have seen it and understands that once it's out there, SOMETHING will have to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say they are looking into the matter as part of the "Russian hacking" investigation but I don't have any faith in the guy who is charge of it. The short of it is, yeah, we're already there. Deep state control, and I have zero trust in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is proven that he used campaign funds to pay off the two, then yeah, he committed a crime and he can be prosecuted - after he leaves office. Since he will not be tried and the evidence shown in a real court before 2020, he can still run and if he wins, they have to wait until 2024. I agree that Impeachment will be as big a waste of time, money and energy as the Impeachment of Clinton. The Dems would need about 20 Republican Senators to commit political suicide to get him convicted and removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely correct and that's been the game plan of the establishment since he won. I've lost faith in the government to the extent that I believe it cannot be cleaned up without violent revolution. That isn't going to happen until they overstep in a major way that impacts a large % of citizens. Extreme taxes or an attempt to confiscate or excessively control gun ownership would do it.

Mind you remember that all this is destabilizing our SYSTEM. It isn't going to just be about Trump, he'll be gone in a few years, regardless. What we are seeing is an open, all-out assault on our system of government. The corruption has always been a problem but now they feel so secure in their power that they are moving out in the open and the media is working with them to get rid of all opposition. It's going to be an interesting decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
