Mueller Investigation pt4

[quadraginta]

It was totally unnecessary. I just found myself being absurdly pedantic.

That's okay. We all succumb to that every once in a while.

 

[Beelzebuddy]

Also, apparently, among the millions of pages of records Mueller's has collected on Russian election interference is a "nude selfie."​

It's going to be Junior isn't it.

That may be what he calls it, yes.

Bwaahaahaa! I think "Toad" is apropos.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

As any defense lawyer will tell you, all it proves is "that a mobile phone traced to Michael Cohen briefly sent signals ricocheting off cell towers in the Prague area".

It doesn't prove that Cohen was in possession of the phone.

It certainly adds to the list of "things that make you go 'hmm'", though.

Let's not forget, Cohen is cooperating with Mueller.

Or 'Shroom ... we could get corroboration on Stormy Daniel's description.

If it is Trump ... it's fun to imagine under what circumstances it would be relevant to an investigation.

Where it was taken?
With whom it was taken?
When it was taken?

Has any reporter asked Cohen since the plea deal?

I hear #Prague #CzechRepublic is beautiful in the summertime. I wouldn’t know as I have never been. #Mueller knows everything!

According to Seth Abramson, what he says now doesn't matter either because even if it were false he could have been asked to keep the story going.

I said the same thing yesterday. I'm a poet and didn't know it.

 

[Polaris]

No one needs to release any espionage secrets to expose the ******** that really did do a version of the angry HDS employees in the NY office.

If that's not what happened then fine, let's hear that evidence.

I'm okay with not needing to hear the evidence until after the investigation is concluded. Oh I'm definitely eager to hear it, but I don't want them to get the chance to come up with a political defense.

IOW, let the baseball bat blindside them - don't give 'em a chance to duck.

THIS!

We've seen what the Trumpsters do when they get hints of what is coming

"No collusion" becomes "If there was, collusion is not a crime"

"I don't know about any payments (to Stormy Daniels)" becomes "The payments were a civil matter"

Don't give this asshat ANY chance to dream up fake political defences for what he has done.

Seconded. As anxious as I am to find out what Mueller has (and I know he has something), I'd rather they wait until they have it all wrapped up in pretty paper with a bow on it for Trump to unwrap. I'll be Christmas for me.

Heh. I made the mistake of reading the comments on the McClatchy article:

False flag article planted by the CIA. It is sooooo obvious at this point. The DEEP STATE IS SCARED.

First, clearly, Mueller's team is leaking this info (otherwise this article wouldn't exist) to continue to try to sway public opinion and corroborate his own "evidence." This is in fact a crime but the MSM reports it without referring to the illegal and unethical leak to the press.

And my favorite:

If this is all Mueller has he needs to wrap it up. He's been Wiley Coyote to Trump's Roadrunner for too long and a very expensive disgrace paid for by the American taxpayer.

Do you have inside information on the Mueller investigation, or is that more of an opinion based on evidence publicly available?

I certainly hope Mueller has something on Trump - he deserves to be behind bars for a lot of things (IMO) - but I'm sceptical that he has anything specific on Trump himself. Trump has, so far, not tried to shut down the investigation although he has tried to discredit it. To me that says Mueller has stuff that is potentially damaging, but not stuff that would put Trump in jail.

The above is all speculation but then, so is this whole thread.

 

[fagin]

You assume Trump knows what Mueller has.

That was manaforts job.

The Steele Dossier itself alleges specific criminal actions on Trump's part. So far everything in it that can be verified, has been.

Trump has tried to shut down the investigation several times, at one point only being stopped by Don McGahn threatening to quit if he did.

Here's Cohen on Prague, from Twitter:

Why did he tell the WSJ he had been to Prague in 2001 if he's never been to Prague?

Of course Junior claims to be fluent in Czech for a another reason why a phone registered to Cohen ended up there.

 

[jimbob]

There is also the wrongdoing by "Individual 1".

Of course we don't actually know who this person is, except that Cohen was helping his 2016 presidential election campaign.
