Cont: Mueller Investigation pt3

[Imhotep]

Blanket statements are warm and comfortable. Plus you can hide inside them and not peek out. You can also use the blanket to cover up things you don't want to confront or deal with.

Blankets are awesome!

Blanket statements about blankets!

ETA - this would be a great time for all of us to use "renege" more in our everyday speech.

Will it suffice if I agree to do that and then don't?

 

[Dr. Keith]

Well, let's take this hypothetical of yours, shall we:

There's been at least one other administration afflicted with a "special counsel on an unlimited fishing expedition"--Ken Starr and the Clinton administration.

And as far as the Clintons are concerned, they managed to find...a lie about a blow job.

So the facts in evidence do not support your hypothetical ("full of every crime under the sun" LOL!).

I suggest putting more thought into it next time before posting.

Surely that was the joke, right thepretige?

I mean your humor doesn't always click with me, but its not like Kavenaugh spent his time with Starr overlooking tax crimes of Clinton officials so they could narrow in on the blowjob. Or was he just not that good at his job?

So how many arrests is that so far?

 

[Segnosaur]

So how many arrests is that so far?

More importantly, is it more or less than the number of arrests that resulted from the investigations into Benghazi and Whitewater?

 

[Belz...]

So how many arrests is that so far?

Quite a few, actually. And a number of convictions and guilty pleas, to boot.

Did you miss those?

Please be patient. We'll be right back after these goal posts get moved.

IINM, the Mueller investigation surpassed that mark at the first arrest.

Whitewater - Four Years.... nothing!

Benghazi: 3 years 10 months.... nothing!

Russia Probe: - 1 year 5 months (so far).... 35 convictions (so far)

What's the record for prosecutions under an administration? Trump's surely going for The Most Criminal White House Administration Ever. And let's remember that a lot of the prosecutions of Bush II and Reagan cronies occurred after their terms were over. Donnie Johnny could get his century before the drinks break!

According to this, Nixon is still ahead, but it seems Trump is catching up. Nixon had five and a half years in office and accumulated 55 criminal convictions of administration personnel. Trump has had - let's say - two years in office and has 35 was it?

Nixon is at 10 convictions per year.

Trump's at 17.5.

Go Trump!

Well, lets enumerate shall we... in no particular order

1. Paul Manafort - Trump’s former campaign chairman;
1 count Defrauding the US
1 count Conspiracy to commit money laundering
1 count Obstruction justice (witness tampering)
1 count Conspiracy to obstruct justice
5 counts Tax fraud
4 counts Bank fraud
5 counts Conspiracy to commit bank fraud
1 count Failing to disclose a foreign bank account
1 count Being an unregistered agent of a foreign principal
1 count Making false and misleading FARA statements
1 count Making false false statements to the FBI:
Guilty on all counts

2. George Papadopoulos: Trump's Campaign Advisor
1 count Making false statements to the FBI (Relating to contacts he had with agents of the Russian government while working for the Trump campaign)
Guilty

3. Michael Cohen: Trump's Lawyer
5 counts Tax evasion
1 count Financial Fraud (making false statements to a financial institution)
1 count Wilfully causing an unlawful corporate contribution to a political campaign
1 count Making an excessive campaign contribution at the request of a candidate.
Guilty on all counts

4. Michael Flynn: Trump's National Security Adviser
1 count Making false statements to the FBI (wrt this discussions with the Russian ambassador)
Guilty

5. Rick Gates: Trump's campaign adviser
1 count Making false statements to the FBI
1 count Conspiracy against the United States
Guilty on both counts

And we're only half way though his term, and there are likely a lot more people close to Trump in the firing line including Donald Trump Jr and Jared Kushner

Two months ago, I would have had no idea what that meant. I was watching some pro 8-ball and 9-ball games on Youtube, and I happened to click on a Ronnie O'Sullivan "147" video. Since then I've been totally hooked.

Long live pristine Whine boys and their glorious toothpicks! How dare anyone suggest an übermensch be subject to the rule of law. Law is for sinful savages; no need to even bother to ask: "We know who is and is not guilty from the get-go."

It's more likely a cricket reference.

How about "drink break?" I know it's the name of a snooker podcast -- I assumed that's when fans sit about the pub or club and discuss the match.

 

[Worm]

Cricket matches take so long that they have scheduled breaks for drinks, lunch and tea.
