"“When you tell me that, you know, he should testify because he’s going to tell the truth and he shouldn’t worry, well that’s so silly because it’s somebody’s version of the truth. Not the truth,” Giuliani told Todd.

“Truth is truth,” Todd responded.

“No, no, it isn’t truth,” Giuliani said. "Truth isn't truth.""

I’m still so baffled by the media and the talk of conspiracy/collusion. Like, why is Trump allowed to say and why are pundits allowed to say there was “no collusion.”

His son, son-in-law and campaign manager met with a Russian lawyer to conspire to get information about the Democrat candidate for president. They admitted it. Junior literally posted the emails.

It’s such a bizarre disconnect.

There's also the fact that Don Jr.'s response, "... if it's what you say I love it especially later in the summer..." was in direct response to an email from Rob Goldstone that stated, "This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump..."

"Just in: The jury in the trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort presented a note with a question to the judge this morning:

“If we cannot come to a consensus on one count, how do we fill out the verdict sheet?”"

Quote :
"Judge T.S. Ellis III told the jury that this situation was not unusual. He informed them that there can be a partial verdict, and that he will not ask them if they have unanimous consent on all counts when he impanels them."

Lol can we all admire how insane it is that the president’s lawyer and campaign manager could become convicted criminals on literally the same day and it’s still taboo to talk about the very obvious and long-term crimes the president obviously has committed.

At this point, rather than wasting so much time disparaging Trump, everybody should focus on finding a good solid candidate, go ahead and get that person out there, touring the country, building a base, so they can have a shot at 2020."

I guess it's time for you people to start digging shit up on Pence now. Not that it matters, Don will wiggle out of this somehow, but go ahead and get your Pence ducks in a row so it doesn't take another two years of constantly negative coverage to get rid of him.

Dude what? You're salivating. Do you really think Cohen will sink Trump? I think it could go either way, but if it goes the way you want, you're going to have an ultra-con in the WH. However Trump has somehow managed to slither out of everything else thrown his way.

How the fuck is that me being a Trump supporter? I don't support the man. It is kinda funny though the conclusions that people are jumping too already, and the Cohen news is what, an hour old?

I just think people will be equally unhappy with Pence, for different reasons.

At best, you're a Trump supporter in denial. And that's not something I just started thinking after your past few posts.

For fuck's sake, your hot take on Cohen is "Now you assholes are just gonna dig up shit on Pence."

While everyone wonders "how dumb can this dude be" just remember he's continually chalked this whole situation up to anti-Trump people throwing shit against the wall and seeing what sticks. This stupid quote is just a further step down that stupid road where Trump bears no responsibility for all the illegal shit he, his family, and his campaign did, it's just detractors throwing shit against the wall. And now he thinks we need to load our shit throwers for Pence. FFS rumple.

So Manafort is still trying to plea leading into his DC case.

Looks like the trial starts mid sept and could run to the beginning of october. The case is on Ukraine lobbying that Manafort did. Should be ugly.

Sergey Kislyak should be a familiar name for anyone following this story; he met with Sessions and is why Sessions had to recuse himself, he was who Kushner wanted to setup communication with, and why Michael Flynn lied about talking to.

Now there's this:
Here's Why The FBI And Mueller Are Investigating "Suspicious" Transactions By Russian Diplomats
The former Russian ambassador received a salary payment twice as large as past years, and bankers blocked a $150,000 withdrawal.
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonleopold/suspicious-payments-kislyak-russia-embassy-mueller
Quote :
"But new documents show that American bank examiners delved deeper into the embassy's financial activity than was previously known — and reveal why they flagged two of the transactions as suspicious.

The first, made just 10 days after the US presidential election in 2016, was a $120,000 lump-sum check to then-ambassador Sergey Kislyak that was twice as large as any payment he’d received in the previous two years.

The second, just five days after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, was a blocked attempt to withdraw $150,000 in cash that a bank official feared was meant for Russians the US had just expelled from the country."

Quote :
"Last November, BuzzFeed News began revealing suspicious embassy transactions, including a $29,000 wire transfer to the embassy's US bank account to “finance election campaign of 2016”; $325,000 in payments to the Russian Cultural Centre in Washington; and $2.4 million paid to small home-improvement companies controlled by a Russian immigrant living in Virginia."

Quote :
"Ten days after the election, the embassy cut a check to the former ambassador for $120,000. The check was marked “payroll.” Kislyak deposited the money in his Citibank checking account, then wired the funds to his account in Russia in two $60,000 installments.

Now, new documents show that the $120,000 payment, purportedly his 2016 salary in a lump sum, was more than twice as large as any the embassy had given Kislyak in the past two years. In 2014, the embassy provided Kislyak a payment of $53,538, and in 2015 it gave him $50,000. Bankers were unable to determine what those funds were for, but Kislyak deposited both payments into his personal checking account in the US, then wired it to his accounts in Russia. A manager at the branch where Kislyak banks said that the former ambassador did not regularly deposit his salary into his personal account but rather allowed his pay to accumulate in the embassy’s account until it reached a large sum."

Quote :
"On Jan. 25, 2017, less than a week after Trump was sworn in, a Citibank relationship manager was visiting the diplomatic compound for an annual check-in when embassy officials asked to withdraw $150,000 cash. In the past, the embassy had withdrawn about $30,000 in cash each month. Now it was asking to take out five times that amount.

The money, embassy officials told the Citibank manager, was going to be used to pay the salaries of employees who had been transferred out of America in December 2016.

The bank officer was suspicious, because President Obama had recently expelled 35 Russian intelligence operatives in response to interference in the 2016 election. So the Citibank manager pressed the Russians for more information, documents show, asking for the names of the people who would be receiving the $150,000 and why they needed cash in America, given that the workers had already returned to Russia. Embassy officials never responded."
