The Trump Investigation(s) Thread

[malchior]

Stone threatened to steal Credico's dog as described on page 20 of the indictment. Don't let John Wick hear that.

[malchior]

Not all are necessarily related to this investigation but there were 12 sealed indictments handed down over the last 2 days. This series of filings lead David Shortell to rush to Stone's residence to get that video of the FBI raid.

Some other good candidates for roll up by Mueller include the Ari Melber panel from a few days ago: Page, Caputo, Corsi, and Nunberg.

"I think it is possible that I will be framed In which case I will expose both illegal surveillance on me and gross prosecutorial misconduct by a number of lawyers working for Mueller"

[Octavious]

If you can't trust a guy with a Nixon tattoo on his back who can you trust? Seriously I just feel like we're being trolled.

Let's check in with Sarah to get her thoughts on what happened with Roger Stone this morning:

“This has nothing to do with the president and certainly nothing to do with the White House,” Sanders said on CNN. “This is something that has to do solely with that individual.”

Sanders downplayed Stone as “somebody who has been a consultant for dozens of Republican presidents and candidates and members of Congress,” even though he had been known to speak frequently with Trump after leaving his campaign in 2015.

She even did it with a straight face - watch the video.

I still have a hard time believing that so many people "Believe" in the office of President that they'll jump through all the hoops he sets forth and dance like monkeys for him with no dignity.

[Kurth]

The charges are lying, obstruction, and witness tampering, but the indictment also asserts that the Trump campaign actively engaged with Stone on WikiLeaks and that Stone/WL kept the campaign apprised of upcoming document releases.

This is pretty huge.

What's the spread on how long it takes Stone to flip? Does he really think a pardon is coming?

I’ve been waiting for this day ever since I saw the Netflix documentary on Stone (“Get Me Roger Stone”). He’s a vile human being, and it’s about time he sees some justice.

That said, I don’t think he’s going to flip. He’s an old zealot, and one I think would rather go down for “the cause” than try to save his own bacon. But I’ll be happy if I’m proven wrong on that. We’ll see.

I'm excited for him to start describing Donald Trump Jr. as "some guy I saw around the house once or twice."

Has Jr come back from hiding in Canada yet? He's been there since December.

Oh and this made me chuckle.

[Ralph-Wiggum]

Seems like the Stone arrest is the perfect time to distract everyone by declaring a National Emergency.

Also, as pointed out on Qt3, it's great that many of the charges Mueller has filed in his indictments stem from Trump associates lying to the House during hearings started by Republicans as a means to clear Trump of any Russia allegations. Whoops!

[Enough]

That definitely gets an lol out of me. And more from the world of mobster don and his cronies,

I just learned from Empty Wheel that was Randy Credico’s therapy dog Bianca, who attended his grand jury appearance with him.

If memory serves, Stone has one of those presidents he particularly adores tattooed on his back.

This is when Tiffany Trump makes her power move and runway walks into the halls of power.

Speaking before a raucous crowd outside the courthouse, Stone vowed to fight the case.

“I will plead not guilty to these charges. I will defeat them in court,” he said. Some in the crowd jeered and chanted “lock him up.” Others shouted support for Stone.

“There is no circumstance whatsoever under which I will bear false witness against the president nor will I make up lies to ease the pressure on myself. I look forward to being fully and completely vindicated,” Stone said. “I will not testify against the president because I would have to bear false witness.”
...
Stone did not immediately respond to requests for comment, but when previously asked about the idea he may have lied to Congress, said: “I don’t think any reasonable attorney who looks at it would conclude that I committed perjury, which requires intent and materiality.”

[Skinypupy]

LOLOLOL.

CNN's response was great.

CNN’s ability to capture the arrest of Roger Stone was the result of determined reporting and interpreting clues revealed in the course of events. That’s called journalism. #FactsFirst

OMG, Stone walking out the steps today:

Should I post a picture of his Richard Nixon tattoo or nah?

This is all the same ratfucking game to him. Only hardcore evangelicals use the biblical "bear false witness" in front of TV cameras.

He's trolling even here. Got to give him credit for that.

[Defiant]

If Trump really wanted to see Hillary locked up, he should’ve just hired her to work on his campaign.

[Isgrimnur]

Trump Investigation threads move pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

[Kraken]

It should be clear to everyone by now that the only people who associate with Trump are criminals, scoundrels, and sycophants.

[Remus West]

I wonder if his winning the election will be the undermining event that brings down the largest crime family in history.

SpeakerPelosi: What does Putin have on @realDonaldTrump, politically, personally or financially?

I'm certain there are a very large number of Republican Senators and Representatives that will be part of the "family" as their stance since Newt has been anti-Democracy.

So just in case you aren't up to date on GOP bullshit - the latest potential pool of drama past the shutdowns is that the Republicans are allegedly dragging their feet on announcing members of 4 committees preventing them from operating: Climate Change, Ethics, House Administration, and Intelligence. Hopefully a little sunlight will get McCarthy moving on these appointments sooner than later.

Why does Republicans failure to name members keep them from operating? Seems like the committee rules need to be updated.

[Smoove_B]

Uh oh, looks like someone is having second thoughts...

JUST IN on @ThisWeekABC: "Any chance you'll cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller if he asks?" Roger Stone: "That's a question I'll have to determine after my attorneys have some discussion ... I would certainly testify honestly" https://abcn.ws/2G0UERP
