Welcome to this week's regular incremental update to the Trump-Russia Corruption Timeline wherein we will go over all the buggery and all the nuts from the past 7 days. Obviously there was the time that Trump admitted that his son Don jr, along with his son-in-law Jared Kushner, who the CIA still doesn’t trust enough to give an SCI clearance too, and Paul Manafort, the guy currently on trial for managing to illegally take in $Millions from Russia and Putin’s puppet dictator in Ukraine but still managed to go broke spending it on some truly incredible landscaping as well as $15,000 Ostrich and Python skin jackets — with matching vest and hoods — all sat down in Trump Tower with a pack of Russians — including a GRU Military intelligence asset — with the intention to collude on how they could get campaign dirt on Hillary Clinton.
It's not "totally legal”, and it's not done all the time because it's literally done like, never, because accepting anything of value in a campaign from a foreign entity is a clear violation of FEC rules.
The Act and Commission regulations include a broad prohibition on foreign national activity in connection with elections in the United States. 52 U.S.C. § 30121 and generally, 11 CFR 110.20. In general, foreign nationals are prohibited from the following activities:
- Making any contribution or donation of money or other thing of value, or making any expenditure, independent expenditure, or disbursement in connection with any federal, state or local election in the United States
It’s not just an FEC violation it’s also a crime under the Logan Act.
18 U.S. Code § 953 - Private correspondence with foreign governments
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
Any communication with foreigners with the intent to influence U.S. policy is a crime. Getting anything of value from a foreign government during a campaign is a crime. If there was another crime associated in gathering that valuable thing not reporting that crime to the FBI is a felony, also if you criminally conspire to take advantage of those ill-gotten gains that’s called being an accessory after the fact - which is a felony too. So is the apparent conspiracy by multiple members of the Trump campaign (18 U.S.C. § 371) to deny Russian involvement and cover all this up.
This would be the meeting that Michael Cohen said that Trump was told about and approved of just 3 days prior — just as he was informed by McGhan and Priebus that Micheal Flynn was being investigated by the FBI before he sat down with Comey and asked him to “let Flynn go”. Rudy Giuliani now says "he's no longer sure” if Trump was told about the meeting, whereas Trump's other TV attorney Jay Sekulow now says “I have to say, over time, facts develop,” because he had repeatedly stated wrongfully to the American people — and it seems, to Mueller — that this meeting had been about "adoptions”, but it wasn't.
Now we know -- as if we already didn't -- that Trump is a liar who even tells those lies to his own attorneys, also Giuliani is a liar and Sekulow is a dupe.
And on top of that we now, finally, have House Ranking Intelligence Rep. Adam Schiff who has gone on the record and pushed back on the false Trump and media narrative that there's been “no collusion" found, he now says there's been plenty of collusion revealed. Yeah, like in my last 4 paragraphs.
And all that was after Trump tried to obstruct justice again by tweeting that Jeff Sessions [when he's not obsessing about nuns being forced to use contraceptives, and who is still recused from this case] should shut the “whole rigged witch hunt down” because that will look really excellent in his eventual indictment.
And also Trump has a great brand new idea on how to stop the firestorms in California. No, it's not to fully combat climate change. Don’t be e-stupid. It’s for California to stop dumping all of its good water in the ocean where they already have plenty of water, and also... fewer trees.
Yes, seriously, he fracking said that.
When it comes to Collusion, Adam Schiff says we have some, right here in River City.
On this weekend’s edition of CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” host Margaret Brennan tried to get Schiff to agree to the lie that Trump has been telling for over a year now — that there is “no evidence of collusion” between his campaign and Russia.
“Can you agree that there has been no evidence of collusion, coordination, or conspiracy that has been presented thus far between the Trump campaign and Russia?” Brennan asked Schiff.
“No, I don’t agree with that at all,” Schiff replied. “I think there’s plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy in plain sight.”
Schiff added that he doesn’t mean a court has found “proof beyond a reasonable doubt of a criminal conspiracy.” That burden of proof is up to special counsel Robert Mueller to establish, Schiff said.
But, Schiff explained, that definitely doesn’t mean there is “no evidence” of collusion in the public record.
As Schiff began to cite examples of this public evidence, Brennan interrupted him.
“So, you acknowledge that the FBI has not presented it thus far?” she asked. “I’m drawing this distinction because the White House is drawing this distinction.”
Schiff responded that Congress is “doing our own investigation,” and that Mueller and the FBI won’t be presenting proof directly to Congress.
Papadopoulos and Sessions conspired and colluded with Prof. Mifsud to get their hands on Hillary’s emails with the DNC and DCCC from the Russians, and to set up a personal meeting between Trump and Putin which violated Russia sanctions and the Logan Act which had been personally authorized by Trump himself.
Don Jr. conspired and colluded with Veselnitskaya to get dirt on Russians illegally contributing to the DNC (which is real irony there since at that moment Russians were literally in the process of trying to contribute to Trump). Junior also conspired and colluded with Wikileaks via multiple DM messages and with Russia spy Maria Butina’s handler Alexander Torshin who secretly met with him during the NRA convention during his own campaign to set up a "back door” meeting between Trump and the Putin. And Don Jr. met in Trump Tower with UAE representative George Nadler - who is now a cooperating witness for Mueller — where they were pitched the use of a surveillance data-crunching firm staffed by former Israeli spies for their campaign.
Michael Flynn conspired and colluded with ambassador Kislyak to drop the sanctions Obama had placed in retaliation for Russia’s election meddling, he’s also colluded with Turkey to have a rebel cleric living in Pennsylvania kidnapped and renditioned to President Erdogan, and with Saudi Arabia on a joint U.S./Russia project to build nuclear reactors for them using a sanction Russian security company.
Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon conspired and colluded during a secret meeting in Trump with the Crown Prince of the UAE, who had his rep George Nadler with him, to set up back-channel communications to Russia. Kushner also tried to set up back-channel communications to Russia with Michael Flynn while meeting with Ambassador Kislyak. In addition to this Kushner's companies had attempted to gain a loan from Qatar in support of their failing property at 666 Park Ave which was rejected, they then seem to have conspired and colluded with the UAE and Saudi Arabia to arrange a blockade of Qatar which was based on false propaganda provided by Russian hackers. In response, Qatar reached out to former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and offered him cash in an effort to get Steve Bannon to let them bankroll his return to the web so he could support their pushback on the blockade.
Members of the Trump national security team conspired and colluded to have the State Department drop sanctions on Russia for no good reason since they have still annexed Crimea and are sending troops into Ukraine.
Roger Stone and a Florida GOP representative conspired and colluded with Wikileaks and with Russian GRU asset Guccifer 2.0 in order to gain access to and have the Trump campaign exploit strategic election data which had been stolen from the DCCC.
Carter Page conspired and colluded when he was told about the stolen DNC emails by Russian government agents and members of sanctioned Russian oil company Rosneft over an upcoming sale of 19% of their stock. That stock was ultimately bought by a consortium that includes the Qatar Investment Authority, the same group that eventually tried to bribe Flynn and Bannon.
Paul Manafort conspired and colluded with Russia GRU operative Konstantin Kilimnick to provide a private briefing on the workings of the Trump campaign to one of his primary Russian creditors Oleg Deripaska at a time when he was flat broke, and yet working on the campaign for free.
Michael Cohen along with Felix Sater, and even Trump himself who signed a letter of intent on the deal, conspired and colluded to create a Trump Tower Moscow project all the way up until the Republican convention even though it would have been illegal due to sanctions, and also conspired and colluded with Ukranian government officials to create a "peace deal" that would have removed those pesky sanctions on Russia.
So yeah, that’s all collusion. Some of it is criminal, and it doesn’t matter if they successfully concluded any of the deals, simply trying to collude and conspire is the problem. As is lying about it — which is what Papadopoulos, Flynn and Alex Van der Zwaan have all admitted to doing and pled guilty for.
Still, the White House has been gaslighting about all this and so I leave it up to Shep Smith to knock their blather the hell down.
“You have the president saying the attorney general, Jeff Sessions should shut down the Mueller investigation, but at the same time, the president and the White House have on many occasions said that the Mueller investigation should continue to its logical conclusion,” Roberts noted.
“The president tried to have it both ways today sending out that tweet, but then, at the briefing, Sarah Huckabee Sanders saying this afternoon ‘We think the investigation should continue, though the President does think that it’s been going on too long and as you said at the top of the hour what he said today in the tweet was not official policy. It was an opinion.”
Smith then went on to point to inconsistencies and outright lies in the administration’s public statements.
“The White House today echoed President Trump’s false tweets claiming that the dossier is the foundation of the Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation,” Smith said.
“We’ll play the sound, show you the tweets, and then explain the facts,” Smith declared.
Smith rolled footage of Sarah Huckabee Sanders claiming that the Mueller investigation originated with the Steele dossier. In fact, the FBI inquiry was sparked after the agency received a tip from an Australian diplomat that Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos bragged that the Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton.
“In the main and in its parts, that statement is patently false,” Smith said.
Going beyond Smith, Fox News has responded to Schiff with Judge Napolitano who says that Junior is in serious trouble because of conspiracy, not collusion.
“There is no such law and there is no such word in the law as collusion, that’s a Hollywood and media term,” Napolitano explained to co-hosts of the show. “The legal term is conspiracy. If the Trump campaign and the Russians work together, but was there an agreement to work together?
“The crime is the agreement,” he added. “Whether the agreement was put into place or not. That’s what Bob Mueller is looking for.”
Co-host Melissa Francis wondered why Clinton had not been charged for funding the research for a dossier, which detailed alleged connections between Trump and the Russian government.
“Except that [special counsel Robert Mueller is] not investigating that,” Napolitano replied.
“Oh,” Francis sighed.
Napolitano continued: “He’s investigating whether or not the people from the Trump campaign entered into an agreement to receive dirt [on] Hillary, whether the dirt was received or not. The crime — if there were a crime — is receiving anything of value from a foreign person entity or government, if there is an agreement to do that.”
It is interesting that the Fox position — even without Shep Smith — now is that “people around” Trump may have committed a crime, particularly conspiracy, but somehow Trump himself wasn’t involved in that, except that he was as I've noted above. They’ve conceded quite a bit of ground, they will probably be conceding much more.
In the meanwhile Trump has yet again decided to start a pie-fight, this time with Don Lemon and Lebron James calling them both “dumb and unintelligent” when he already has documented habit of doing that repeatedly with African-Americans as with his attacks on Maxine “very low IQ” Waters.
This would seem to be a personal tick with him, just like how Roseanne Barr can’t seem to stop comparing African-American women to apes. But then she says she “thought the bitch was white” — yeah — so, never mind. Apparently, Trump thought Lebron was really Michael Jordan, or something.
And like incessant racial slurs, demonizing people can have serious consequences.
In the video, the C-SPAN caller identifies himself as “Don” and says Stelter and Lemon “call Trump supporters all racists. They don’t even know us.” Stelter denied that was the case. “They don’t even know these Americans out here and they are calling us racists because we voted for Trump?” the caller went on to say. “Come on. Give me a break. They started the war. I see them, I’m going to shoot them.”
Stelter said that these types of calls and threats are “coming in more often” even as he acknowledged some in the media get much worse, and frequent, threats. “I’m not asking for sympathy, I don’t think I’m in extreme danger, I know some of my colleagues get much worse threats than I do,” Stelter said. “CNN has a great security team and we know how to handle this stuff.”
Stelter also aired a clip of MSNBC’s Katy Tur saying she and some of her female colleagues had received emails saying, “I hope you get raped and killed.” The “most recent note” she received ended with four letters: MAGA.
These are all clearly attempts by Trump to distract in the midst of all the bad press he’s been getting, and to blame that press on “bias” by the media but I don’t how blaming the fire on having too many trees is going to get him some good press finally.
I’m not sure what “bad environmental” laws he’s talking about other than the ones that say drinking water should be “clean”. What's he think we should just take run-off water and put it right back into our potable drinking systems without cleaning it first? Also, trees aren't the only things that burn, so does grass, brush, building and homes — maybe we should clear those out too?
Oh and by the way, when you don’t have any grass or brush on the hillsides they tend to collapse and cause mud and landslides when the rainy season does finally come around, so this builshit is bad on just about every possible level. That is the thinking level of the “very stable genius” currently occupying the White House with his stubby little fingers tapping on the Nuclear Trigger — which he would probably fire at California first anyway.
But, y’know, Squirrel!!
