Cont: Mueller Investigation pt3

[smartcooky]

Like that whole Trump is in “deep doo doo” because of RICO claim that was made, and that could have been totally avoided had its advocate done the slightest bit of research?

Although it was pretty cool that a person that did do research came along and absolutely destroyed the claim and salted the ground afterwards.

Lanny blurted out that Cohen could testify about Trump's foreknowledge of the Trump Tower meeting with Russian foreign agents.

Seth Abramson says that's a mistake that'll hurt his negotiation with Mueller, he needs to clam up.

Lanny clams up.

lets walk through that. Lanny blurted.... whoa... gonna stop you right there, Lanny did not blurt out anything, he was CNN’s anonymous source back in July.

Then he told Anderson Cooper that they were not the source.

Then he told the WaPo and NYT who he had confirmed the CNN report to that he could no longer confirm it.

Then he admitted to Buzzfeed that he “unintentionally misspoke” (lolz) to Anderson cooper.

Although the ******* worthless poet taking credit for something he had **** all to do with sounds exactly what the worthless liar would say

Three words

Body.......of.......work!

Pretty much.

It is odd. People claim to quote my post but they refuse to quote the whole post.

Odd.

It is almost as if the arguments are dishonest.

It's almost as if quoting the whole post doesn't change the meaning and intent of that excerpt at all.

Seth: Lanny says Cohen will confirm story of Russian collusion!!!

next day

Seth: “The end of this story was all but confirmed tonight—proof of Trump-Russia collusion in the public square and Trump's impeachment or resignation (though resignation would lead to indictment, so he'll avoid”

Then

Lanny: I can’t confirm anything, I “unintentionally misspoke” when I lied like a ************ to Cooper and NYT and CNN and WaPo

Seth: I totes told him to do that.

Behahahahaha!

What is hilarious is that CNN is sticking to the story that Lanny is changing his story rather that admitting that they lied when they claimed he had no comment.

Lanny is impossibly doing more damage to Mueller and CNN that I thought possible.

Lanny has nothing to do with Mueller. As for CNN, that's their problem.

It's better to trust Trump, he's only changed his story about the meeting 3 or 4 times.............

Hey, Belz! Welcome back.

Don't look for "reasonable" from TBD. He's anxious to distract from his and Zig's D-minus performance.

Their contention amounts to their learned opinion (where "learned" means "I pulled it out of my butt") that the Edwards ruling on personal use means that if you can claim any portion of personal use then the contributions were not for the campaign but for, well, personal use. I'd imagine that'd come as a surprise to people who thought they were contributing to a political campaign but I'm sure in Post Hoc Justification World the fact that the wrote the check out to "John Edwards Super PAC" or however it was addressed really means, "Here, this isn't a political contribution so you just use this money however you want!"

Since it wasn't a crime with Edwards then it's not a crime with Trump/Cohen. Q.E.D.

That's the gist of the argument. An argument not proffered by Cohen, his attorney, or Giuliani. Apparently Trump doesn't follow Zig or TBD because he hasn't made it yet, either. Zig and TBD can be excused, though, as the directions from the WH aren't clear. They definitely want to claim that it wasn't campaign money and apparently the payments came from a Trump Org (not Trump Campaign) shell company account.

The counter arguments are everywhere; I'll let you come up with your own. The most obvious, though, is that the Edwards case and the Trump case are completely different. Edwards' was ongoing, Trump's was on the eve of the election. We haven't seen the SDNY evidence but if one of those tapes has conversation saying "we've gotta stop this from getting out because people won't like it", the whole conceptual defense is through.Oh, that and the fact that he ******* well pled guilty and no one ever said,"Oh, I can't take that item in the plea bargain, that's not a crime".

TBD further claims that Cohen just parroted whatever the DA told him to say because he was selling out Trump in order to get himself and Mrs. Cohen a break on their tax evasion charges.

[The Great Zaganza]

I consider a RICO charge extremely likely in the Mueller investigation, if for no other reason than that it is what the people in Mueller's team have a ton of experience bringing these kind of cases.

Thanks, and please, call me Belz...

It's curious that you feel you have to lie about this.

Then again, it's off-topic, really. There's an entire thread dedicated to the credibility or otherwise of Abramson. Discussion of that subject should probably go in that thread.

Still, while we're on the subject, do you feel that Popehat knows more about the law than you in every situation, or do you think there are cases in which you will know more about the law than he does?

Trump Tweeted

"Hillary Clinton’s Emails, many of which are Classified Information, got hacked by China. Next move better be by the FBI & DOJ or, after all of their other missteps (Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, FISA, Dirty Dossier etc.), their credibility will be forever gone!"

I remember a time when a president lying was an impeachable offense. 'Course, that president was an Angry Democrat^tm.

I can only observe that the only people I know that take the trouble to type out (Tee Hee!) are all little girls below the age of twelve.

Make of that observation what one wishes.

Your response to a detailed article in WaPo laying out why Lanny's ridiculous shenanigans is a problem for Mueller is to declare that is WaPo's problem??

That is amazing!
