Defense: The SECRET SERVICE approved the Russian meeting

basically proving the President was at the meeting...

Does the SS "frag"?

Let's hope!

Amazing how the sheep are falling for each and every "explanation" that is being tossed out.

Are we that far away from 45 stating that all (fill in the blank here with "media", "italians", "jews", "mexicans", "muslims", etc.) need to be interred in camps "until we find out what the hell is going on" and then fry them, with the sheep saying it's all OK?

There are a number of First Ladies who found the excuse that the Secret Service didn't stop the meeting to be unpersuasive.

Preventing the President or his relatives from committing treason isn't part of the Secret Service job description. 

But if Trump's lawyers want to change that, it probably would be beneficial to our democracy.

THE GREATER BREADTH OF THE CLINTONS’ TREASON

Maybe it depends on what is, is, right? Not hardly. Treason is treason! Slick Willy and his phony bud Hillary are full of it.

The mammoth amount and variety of technological information sold by Bill Clinton to the Chinese made the info the Rosenbergs passed on about a single bomb technology seem pale in comparison. Clinton also gave the Chinese supercomputers used in the technology of nuclear and missile warfare, which in effect, gave the Chinese a 20-year head start. By selling advanced U.S. missile technology to our enemy, the People’s Republic of China, President Bill Clinton basically wiped out any strategic advantage the U.S. had up until that time.

As Edward Timperlake and William C. Triplett II reported in their 1998 book ‘Year of the Rat,’ a most thorough expose’ on the Clinton/Gore treason committed, “Who would have guessed that, In return for money, Bill Clinton and Al Gore would literally sit down to supper with a procession of agents for the Communist Chinese army, Chinese intelligence, the Macau criminal syndicate, and Cambodia’s biggest drug trafficker?”

Chinese intelligence services and their military gave the Clinton administration millions of dollars in illegal campaign contributions laundered through heretofore unheard of’s that were to become infamous in the revealing of the Clinton payoffs. Names like the Riady Clan (Mochtar Riady, his wife, and three sons), John Huang, Charlie Trie, Ng Lapseng, Johnny Chung, and Bernard Schwartz. China was tenacious about overcoming the U.S. as a world superpower.

 Hillary Clinton’s team also has ties to Russia.

“Her campaign chairman John Podesta became a member of the board of directors of solar energy startup Joule Unlimited in 2011. Eight months later Rusnano, a Kremlin-backed investment fund announced it would invest around$35 million in Joule. A few months after, about the time Podesta joined then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Foreign Affairs Policy Board, Rusnano Chairman Anatoly Chubais joined Joule’s board.

“Podesta has been less than forthcoming about his relationship with the Russian government. “What he doesn’t like to talk about is the business he’s done with a Kremlin-backed investment firm and the lengths he’s gone to avoid scrutiny of this relationship,” the Wall Street Journal reported Oct. 23.

“And in August the FBI and Justice Department announced they were investigating the Podesta Group, a lobbying and public relations firm co-founded by John Podesta, for any connections to corruption that occurred in the government of former Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych. Russia-controlled Uranium One retained the firm in 2012, 2014, and 2015, to lobby Clinton’s State Department and was paid $180,000 in fees.

TEFLON TREASON GOES ON – WHERE IS JUSTICE?

Bill Clinton arranged for the shipping and billing of 20% of our United States uranium supply clandestinely through a Canadian company to Russia while Hillary was Secretary of State and then the Clinton Foundation took in $145 million dollars for their effort.

Mathew Vadim wraps it up, “Uranium One shareholders gave the corrupt Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation more than $145 million in donations in the period before Hillary’s State Department approved a transaction giving Russia control over 20 percent of U.S. uranium. And as Russia, which initially didn’t have a controlling interest in Uranium One, was gearing up to take over the company, Bill Clinton received a whopping $500,000 for a single speech on Russian soil.

“And when he was president, Bill Clinton wasn’t exactly hostile toward Russia.

“As journalist Bill Gertz wrote years ago, Clinton sent ‘a billion dollars to Russia earmarked for its ‘nuclear disarmament program,’ even though the government’s own General Accounting Office has already determined that millions of these dollars are going to Russian scientists working to build new nuclear weapons for the Russian military.”

“Like Clinton, President Obama has written big checks to the nation’s enemies, sending $150 billion to the crazed mullahs of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Islamists have penetrated both of our political parties but only Democrats –the party more amenable to subversives— have two sitting congressmen, Keith Ellison of Minnesota and Andre Carson of Indiana, who are Islamists.”

Hillary should be marched directly to prison just for her many ‘gates’. She has gotten away with numerous scandals for way too long, including Whitewater, Travelgate, Bimbogate, Filegate, Pardongate, Furnituregate, Benghazigate and most recently it has become obvious that she committed treasonous acts including letting state secrets go to other countries in exchange for Clinton Foundation donations as well as erasing evidence of top-secret material from her private server. See: 25 and Counting: Hillary’s Huge Scandal List Explodes

Extremely thirsty greed for money and power coupled with very big balls, and phony smiles exuding confidence supported by wealthy influential elitists, cronies in media and Hollywood and Kool-Aid drinking, free stuff craving, deluded supporters as well as potent clout in the form of political pressure has provided plenty of cover in the past.

Awakened Americans should be sickened by the depth of treasonous acts against us by such nefarious and greedy people and make demands that justice be served. Where are the wills to prosecute?

What kind of Americans can commit such as all this? Extremely treasonous ones! Justice is way overdue!

Amazing how the sheep are falling for each and every "explanation" that is being tossed out.<<<

Likewise, just how far will the right wing talk radio / media hosts go to support said "explanations"?

Will there be repercussions for the Sean Hannity's out there if the worst re: Trump is true?

gemstatepatriot.com sounds like a really cool american values website.

>> THE GREATER BREADTH OF THE CLINTONS’ TREASON

When your argument for defending the President becomes "look at these spurious and mostly ridiculous allegations about someone who's not president!" -- that may be a sign you've run out of arguments.

Clinton was secretary of state at the time and the allegations are not spurious nor ridiculous. 

Both should go to prison.  

When the best Trump and his supporters can do is hide behind the Clintons, it's downhill from there.  "Yeah but mommy, look what Jimmy did."  Clinton LOST, get it, she LOST. She's not running the country.

If she was in jail today, it would only be one less excuse would Trump have. But he'd still have plenty more. Does ANYONE remember that old saying 'the buck stops here'? Apparently Trump's never heard of it.

Still waiting to hear anything bout the Awan Brothers.

Copy pasta's r lame

>>When the best Trump and his supporters can do is hide behind the Clintons, it's downhill from there.  "Yeah but mommy, look what Jimmy did."  Clinton LOST, get it, she LOST. She's not running the country.

She still comitted crimes while in a position of governmental power.   Does losing the election pardon her of her crimes?

Where's the indictment?

Ruuuuubes!

~Homer J. Simpson~

Lack of indictment does not mean crimes were not committed.   Where are the indictments of the bankers caught laundering money?

"She still committed crimes...."   

Where's the indictment? When's the court date? You had a Republican Congress falling all over itself over this, and NOT ONE INDICTMENT.

Still hiding behind the Clintons, they are a smokescreen to you. 

no No NO...HILLIARY IS IN CONTROL OF THE WHOLE FIX AND THE FIX IS IN AND SHE WANTED tRUMP TO BE ELECTED OR ELSE WHY ELSE WOULD HE BE POTUS AND SHE MADE HIM POTUS TO TAKE ATTENTION AWAY FROM HER BENGHAZI EMAIULS. It's all so clear.

>>Where's the indictment? When's the court date? You had a Republican Congress falling all over itself over this, and NOT ONE INDICTMENT.

Congress doesn't indict.  And the Obama DOJ declined to after the AG met with Bill on a plane.

BOTH trump and Clinton need to be tried.

We need to try Ford and Nixon too I don't care if they are dead. 

Lot's of crying around here.  Trump is President and Dems are 0-4 in special elections since his election. The Russian silliness will cost the Dems more seats in 2018. So keep doubling down on stupid. 

They aren't 0-4 they are 1-5. They lost in four safe Republican districts and won in one safe democratic district. But that isn't as fun as saying 0-4

Remember the time Eddie Haskel stole June Cleavers cherry pie that was cooling on the window sill and blamed it on the Beave? 

Me neither...

The point being, why is there always a deflection to Clinton every time it's clarily obvious that Trump is a lying, treasonous scumbag? 

Why?

Because trump does it every day.

Or, does trump do it because he saw people on Fox doing it? Sometimes I can't tell if he's leading or following.

>>Lot's of crying around here.  Trump is President and Dems are 0-4 in special elections since his election. The Russian silliness will cost the Dems more seats in 2018. So keep doubling down on stupid. 

Double down on stupid, eh?

Fafa - are you okay with your wife and daughter being grabbed by the pussy?

If you are, then THAT seems like doubling down on stupid.

Joe Scarborough Pens a Withering Obituary for the GOP

"It's a dying party that I can no longer defend."

By Sarah K. Burris / Raw Story

July 17, 2017, 5:29 AM GMT

http://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/joe-scarborough-pens-withering...

After six months in the White House, Republican President Donald Trump has caused more problems for his party than he has fixed. The political disaster prompted “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough not only to leave the GOP but to urge his fellow Republicans to consider doing the same.

“The Republican Party lost its senses,” Scarborough wrote in a Washington Post op-ed Monday. “The political movement that once stood athwart history resisting bloated government and military adventurism has been reduced to an amalgam of talk-radio resentments.”

He continued, saying that the “grand old party” has devolved into one that wanders aimlessly searching for a cause, lead by a president who is “hopelessly ill-informed” about conservatism, as well as the U.S. Constitution and American history.

Citing Abraham Lincoln, Scarborough noted that Republicans have disgraced their party’s first president.

“Nearly all men can stand adversity. But if you want to test a man’s character, give him power,” Lincoln said. Scarborough wrote that both Trump and the GOP have failed that test.

Trump’s failures are stacking up, but Scarborough said GOP leaders are the more corrupting influences defying Lincoln’s message and legacy. The problem didn’t begin with the party embracing “their favorite reality-TV star [as he] brought his gaudy circus act to Washington.” 

Scarborough bragged that his party led to a balanced budget in 2001 as he was stepping out of his congressional seat. He made a final speech on the House floor “foolishly predicting” the GOP would be the champions of future balanced budgets and “restrained foreign policy.” He was obviously wrong.

Instead, the GOP embraced absurd and costly wars while giving massive tax cuts to the wealthy. The result was “turning a $155 billion surplus into a $1 trillion deficit and doubling the national debt” in just six years. Republicans swore they’d do better when they got power next, but when given the opportunity, they failed spectacularly.

“The GOP president questioned America’s constitutional system of checks and balances,” Scarborough began his list. “Republican leaders said nothing. He echoed Stalin and Mao by calling the free press ‘the enemy of the people.’ Republican leaders were silent. And as the commander-in-chief insulted allies while embracing autocratic thugs, Republicans who spent a decade supporting wars of choice remained quiet. Meanwhile, their budget-busting proposals demonstrate a fiscal recklessness very much in line with the Bush years.”

At the same time, “Republican lawmakers will stand by a long-time Democrat who switched parties after the promotion of a racist theory about [former President] Barack Obama gave him standing in Lincoln’s once-proud party,” Scarborough wrote. He argued that no Republican president in history would even be able to recognize his party.

“It is a dying party that I can no longer defend,” he wrote.

He went on to echo historian Jon Meacham’s prediction that the Republican vs. Democrat war would end the political duopoly. But it wasn’t until the GOP took control of Congress in 1994 that Scarborough said the two-party turmoil began.

He cited Republican strategist Karl Rove, who bemoaned in 2004 that the majority of his party would likely be the final one for a generation. In just two years, their majority fell and Obama took the White House. While the Tea Party was able to make a splash in 2010, they along with Trump have “demolished both the Republican and Democratic establishments.”

“Political historians will one day view Donald Trump as a historical anomaly,” Scarborough predicted. “But the wreckage visited of this man will break the Republican Party into pieces—and lead to the election of independent thinkers no longer tethered to the tired dogmas of the polarized past. When that day mercifully arrives, the two-party duopoly that has strangled American politics for almost two centuries will finally come to an end. And Washington just may begin to work again.”

Negman is a hypocrite of the highest order. 

conservatives hate the constitution and bill of rights...

Six, I'd rather that happen then the President stick a cigar in their vaginas.... 

you just know fafa rubbed one or twenty-two off to Ken Starr's investigation. I bet he wished a picture book was produced.

Mannfred, I could have sworn it was a Trump/Clinton election. What's your point?

Holy fucking cuntballs, fafa, really? As the groper you are; you've certainly tried grabbing my cunt more than once so of course you're on board with trump and his utter disdain and non respect for women.

I'm so glad i met Alex just in time before i actually gave in and let u bone me. 

Fucking heinous 

Newspapers been in country for 200+ plus years...Fake News

Television & Radio news running some 90 years...Fake News

Reince Priebus at the meeting? rut roh

Per Trump's word salad, that would make RP the one who left quickly or the one who wasn't really focused on the meeting.

>>Six, I'd rather that happen then the President stick a cigar in their vaginas.... 

Fafa - are you saying woman have a choice - or YOU get to choose for them?

Seems to me that the cigar was consensual and the pussy grabbing is more like rape. 

I see clearly which side you are coming down on. 

And I'd love to see you give an opinion on Trump that does not involve a comparison with someone else.

I'm just not sure you are capable of doing that.

trash. the trash is stinking up the thread again. 

>>What was her crime, Richie?  Did Comey lie?

Comey said that most people would be charged for what she did.  And, she lied under oath to congress. 

>>Negman is a hypocrite of the highest order. 

How so?

Yeah, Richard use your google 

What were Jill and Junior up to?

http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/343292-jill-stein-looped-int...

>>Third party candidate Jill Stein was a surprising addition this week to investigators casting an increasingly wide net in the congressional probe into Russian interference in the election.

Stein’s name was included in a Senate Judiciary Committee letter requesting all communication between President Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. and a number of others, including Russian officials and other members of Trump’s presidential campaign...

Sacramucci looks like the guy at the casino who gives the nod to the goons to beat someone senseless.

Did they approve all this shit before or after the hookers and blow party?

Has Dead2 joined the banned? He hasn't posted in a week. Or did his mommy take his device away? Maybe he's on vacation in SE Asia, touring the sweatshops.

"I did not collude" vs "I am not a crook"

http://billmoyers.com/story/the-watergate-comparison/

>..the scandal is historically large mostly because it is not shocking. Trump ran for the presidency promising to perpetrate outrages against the political tradition, and, although he has not built the wall, he has perpetrated the outrages. The scandal, the deep scandal, is that he was, in fact, elected. It is not a secret scandal. It is a public scandal. It is a cultural collapse. It is a spontaneous degeneration. And it has set off a wave of fear — a practical fear among the conventional Republican politicians, who are afraid that, if they speak out against the conspiracy, they will be trampled by Trump’s enraged mob; and a parallel fear among their Democratic counterparts, who do speak out, but are afraid that, if they speak too loudly or too soon, they will likewise enrage the mob; a fear that leads everyone, Republican and Democrat, to tiptoe with the careful pusillanimity of the European politicians of the 1930s. Do we need a sign of how great is the fear? Not a single national politician has delivered a broad and memorable speech on the Trump phenomenon and the Russia conspiracy.

Watergate was a political scandal caused by Nixon and his underlings and by no one else, which meant that, when Nixon was gone, so was the “long national nightmare.” That is not our situation today. Trump could decide on a whim to resign tomorrow, worried perhaps about the Greek tragedy that is descending upon his children. But masses of people will still be yearning deliriously to Make America Great Again — yearning, that is, for an authoritarian leader and a violent political culture. A bigger event than Watergate, then. Deeper, more cultural, more difficult to understand.

So Jared clicks on this email labeled "Russia Clinton Meeting", but had no idea what the meeting was about?

Maybe he thought George Clinton was planning a Russia tour or something? Yeah, that's the ticket...  

Sekulow looks like Mr. Burns' lawyer.
