Do you think these ad campaigns contributed? If so, how much so.

Did you sleep through the 2016 election debriefing?

The fake news echo chamber on FB and Twitter, pushed by Russian trolls and bots, Trump's billions in free advertising by the major news networks that broadcast all his rallies live, help by Cambridge Analytica using the data from the DNC hacks that allowed specific voter targeting, and Comey's self serving blunder to go against normal SOPs all contributed to Clinton losing the EC. Paid ads were not an issue. Russia did it on the cheap. They apparently donated to a whole slew of GOP legislators' campaigns laundered through the NRA, but that is a different matter.

I find it entertaining how much everyone wants to classify someone as a trumpet, or not. This seems more important than the actual conversation to some. Definitely entertaining.

Lets hope the fisa documents become publicly available. This would be good for all Americans.

There has been more than adequate transparency about the FISA warrants. Only people getting their news diet from Fox and RT News are still clinging to the BS CT that any shenanigans went on re spying Carter Page.

Do you still believe Trump Tower was "wire tapped"? :sdl:

Since you actually came back after your last flounce, could you answer my question? How do you see the Mueller probe ending? I put my money where my mouth is and said what I think is likely.

I understand that. Now, do you understand what a perjury trap is?

Yes it involves questions with no actual investigative purpose solely to try to go anomaly hunting for fallible human memory. It is basic prosecutorial misconduct and has nothing to do with any of the things Trump could be called to testify about.

Just because Trump can not tell the truth from a lie does not mean it is a perjury trap.

Clintons wasn't either. He should have had his lawyer object on the grounds that any relationship he had was not relevant to the paula jones case.
 
This "perjury" nonsense is incredibly childish.
As if lying to the FBI/perjury is going to make the top five of any indictments against Trump.

Trump's closest adviser says he will fire Mueller after the hurricane.

If that happens the GOP can probably kiss both houses of Congress goodbye in November.

And, in case you have not noticied, Sean Hannity is full of **** anyway.

It's really insane that such a lunatic as Hannity would be listened to by anyone, to say nothing about POTUS.

A Newsweek "story" quoting Sean Hannity might be in contention for least believable thing ever.

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has tentatively agreed to a plea deal with special counsel Robert Mueller that will head off his upcoming trial, sources familiar with the negotiations tell ABC News.

Linky.

So... There's still no actual plea deal?

It's not about the veracity of what Hannity might say, it is about Trump's weird relationship with Hannity and FOX where he calls them all the time, and watches them all the time and gets advice.

Oh, I get it. Still, I always hate clicking a Newsweek link. I could be more careful, I suppose, but I'd rather end up at the Fox News site.

Oh, there will be a plea deal alright.

Manafort has already been hammered on eight counts, and was very lucky to dodge the other ten counts with a hung jury. The SC hasn't yet decided if he's going to retry on those, and now Manafort is facing another eight counts on which is he almost certain to be found guilty.

If Manafort was simply trying to avoid the expense and stress of a trial, he would not need to negotiate any kind of deal...all he has to do is walk into the court and plead guilty. The fact that he is wanting a plea deal means he wants to both avoid these trials AND have a substantial reduction in his sentence... and I am quite certain that Mueller will not agree to any of that without Manafort flipping and giving full co-operation.
 
And Fox News says Manafort will plead guilty

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort will plead guilty in federal court Friday as part of a plea agreement with Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Fox News has learned.

Manafort, in a trial set to begin Sept. 24 in federal court in Washington, is facing seven counts of foreign lobbying violations and witness tampering.
