Cont: All things Trump + Russia Part 2

[WilliamSeger]

You know who else is going to be pissed and have used unusually clear language already a month ago over this own-goal in making, right?

Well, there's another reason for Trump to sign it -- to piss them off -- but what "own-goal" are you predicting?

When these unilateral sanctions harming the energy security of the EU aren't followed and disregarded by your "allies", you will see your "leadership" of "the West" crumble even quicker than without this transparent foolishness.

Looks to me like the plan might be to not even let it get that far -- just use it as an excuse to find a way to fire Mueller.

He should fire Mueller, he's compromised by his cozy relationship with Comey. He should also fire Sessions and Rosenstein. Should have been a bunch of investigations started by now. Hillary and company once again getting away with it.

That's really hard to do. When Mueller was appointed as FBI Director by W. And he was appointed as special prosecutor by his own Justice Department. As much as Trump wants to claim he's being sabotaged by enemies it doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.

Lol

Only if you're a partisan with your head in the sand. All democrats investigating this, not to mention his cozy relationship with Comey. It's highly unlikely you'll be honest about what's going on.

That's what I said: that's another reason for Trump to sign it, since he's already (1) deliberately abdicated leadership of the West, and (2) made it quite clear to the EU that it will be America First in all his dealings.

Germany and Austria interfered with your democracy?

No, Russia did.

Talking about own-goals: Newsweek Settles with Journalist Smeared by Kurt Eichenwald

In October, Paste reported on a disturbing story involving Newsweek’s Kurt Eichenwald and Sputnik editor Bill Moran. The former, it appeared, sought to silence the latter through the use of bribery and threats.

For the uninitiated, Moran had written a piece based on a Twitter user’s misattribution of a damning Eichenwald quote about Benghazi to longtime Clinton ally Sidney Blumenthal. Wikileaks had just dumped Clinton campaign director John Podesta’s emails, and there was a mad dash among journalists and non-journalists alike to find a big story in them. One of those emails had Blumenthal sending the Eichenwald story to Podesta.

Upon realizing his mistake roughly twenty minutes after publication, Moran took the article down. However, then-GOP candidate Donald Trump used the misattributed quote in a speech to attack his opponent. [...]

Although it's not public what the settlement entails, Eichenwald over his hissyfits (and I'm not talking about the epileptic kind ) on twitter has earned the Internet Title of Hentaichenwald, because one of the screenshots he posted showed a browser with a background tab open identified as some very distasteful kind of Japanese cartoon porn involving tentacles and girls who aren't drawn to look adult.

The House and Senate reached veto proof agreement today on tough sanctions against Russia that cannot be undone without approval by Congress. The bill was passed by the Senate 98-2.

Putin's going to be pissed.

I'd like to think it's veto-proof, but you're assuming that the R's who voted for it will actually vote to override Trump. I think that's a stretch.
Then again, even Trump might be able to see how bad it would look to veto that legislation. Might.

The most hilarious thing about the Trump/Russia collusion is that Russia's probable goal, reducing the sanctions, has been made impossible because they misunderstimated Trump's general incompetence and stupidity.

Mueller is a registered Republican, appointed to head the FBI in 2001 by Bush.

Why should he fired Mueller? This isn't a case between Comey and the President. No, the question is did the President commit a crime against the United States. Nothing Mueller might do would help Comey. Comey isn't suing the President, he's simply a witness.

The FBI already looked into Hillary Clinton and determined there was no justification for charges.

Ah, yes, I noticed that you and your buddies want the US to fail hard if you don't get it your way.

Oh, so desperate. Something tells me the ad hominems won't work.

You haven't a clue!
First, the question is was there Russian inclusion!
Caught you in a bit of honesty didn't I?

Were you aware that Robert Mueller is a Republican? On another note:

Yup, that's why I think that if Putin decides that whatever he has on Trump is useless now, he might decide to just dump some of it to cause trouble. If so, I hope it's stuff they got from hacking him, just for the karma.

Exactly! Trump has made a huge deal about making America first and his only exception seems to be Russia? Now what about that that seems fishy to anyone? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

No, they are not. That's spin.
