Cont: Mueller Investigation pt3

[Oystein]

I was not fantasizing. I was expressing my opinion, deeply held, about how to treat fascists.

Really?!? Oh ...

Giuliani says that he is "sure" Trump will use executive privilege to prevent Mueller from releasing his final report to the public, when the time comes

That will be a very unwise move. If he does not want the public to see it then that all but confirms wrongdoing on his part. In any case, I'm quite sure that the report will somehow find its way to the AP Wire before it is officially released.

Does POTUS's executive privilege override the house if they demand its release?

If there is anything damning of Trump that is being suppressed, seems likely that some Democratic congress member would leak it. Hell, they could even go full "Pentagon Papers" and read it out on the floor.

BTW, there is no reason for Mueller to stop dropping bombshells about the investigation in the run-up to the midterms: or is anyone running for Congress under investigation?

In at least one sense every Republican in both chambers of Congress is under investigation, if for no other reason than serial complicity in protecting Trump and his cronies.

And they know it.

Think they want to make that case?

How classy, to repeat the same old big fat lie I had just called out (and sorry for being 3 days late). You just lost a ton of respect in my mind.

Everything in that post was true. Feel free to add whatever additional information you feel is relevant, but how can true facts be a lie? And if that's what loses respect from you, perhaps I'm better off without your respect.

autumn1971 called for the death of Trump, ...

No.

True facts being used to support a lie that the foundation only used a few percent of its funds for charity.

True facts being used to support a lie that the foundation only used a few percent of its funds for charity.

The issue is that it is technically correct. The Clinton foundation does indeed only transfer a small amount of its funds to other charities.

Of course, that is used to support the unspoken lie that the remainder of the money goes into the hands of the Clintons, when it appears that the foundation does much of the work itself, as it itself is a charity.

May as well also hate on Charities that also do not transfer funds to.. other charities.

As my father always use to say.

Figures don't lie

But liars figure.

It's not an unspoken lie, it's said quite frequently. The "facts" in question were a couple replies after a post quoting this:

They return is disturbing, to say the least. Given a ‘charitable’ interpretation you would say that the Foundation is disastrously incompetent. A less kind interpretation would be that The Clinton Tax Charity is a fraud that simply exists to enrich it’s it’s employees and directors (who include, obviously, Bill and Hillary).

How much money donated to the Red Cross gets distributed to other charities, hmmm?

Granted, the Red Cross has it's own problems, but "they don't give their money to other charities" is not one of them.

You might simply add that Trump is a traitor, as defined by law. Done!

This is absolutely and clearly known to be false by anyone who understands the very tightly limited definition of treason designated by the founders over 200 years ago. The fact people are still trying to use the looser and easily abused definition of treason that the founders despised shows how correct they were to severely limit the definition for the USA.

Easy reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason#United_States

I wonder if Trump's chief law clown, Rudy Giuliani, has yet realized that the Mueller investigation is still going on even though Giuliani has predicted several times that the Mueller investigation would be done by 01 SEP 2018.

Re: Trump prohibiting Mueller from publicly releasing his report.

Trump might say he has the power to stop the report from being released, but he'll allow it because the Democrats would illegally leak it anyway. It's all fake news. The White House will instantly pounce on the slightest inaccuracy in order to dismiss the whole thing as a grand witch hunt. Trump supporters will not only remain undeterred but grow even more fervent.

 

[ponderingturtle]

Quit trying to act like Trump's a victim. Jesus Christ.

Trump has done worse than this by walking in on teenage models changing, and then bragging about it. By trying to move on married women, then bitching about it. By kissing women that have openly said it was unsolicited and unwanted (repeatedly), and several other accusations.
.

Yes but all those stories are told by a well known lier who can never tell the truth, Trump himself.

 

[ponderingturtle]

Wow, your ability to extract all of that information about my attitude amazes me.

I was asking an honest question which you completely diverted from and in a roundabout way, confirmed that if Trump did the same thing as Bill Clinton, it would not be okay because Trump is (insert insult).

Well Trump doesn't seem likely to be deposed on a civil case so questions that really should have been objected to and shot down as irrelevant are not going to catch him up.

Legally Clinton shouldn't have answered it because it was irrelevant.

Avenatti thinks differently. He believes he will get to depose Trump.

He means, from his throne.
