So We Find Out FBI Has Been Investigating Trump Since July

[The Original Tree]

And why didn't Comey prosecute Lynch and Holder for their crimes?

I'm not a constitutional scholar/attorney as you say you are so could you please educate me as to EXACTLY what their "crimes" are?

Please be specific and include links.

Thanks.

Think it through. Comey can decline to answer that question as he did on several occasions during that hearing. He instead categorically denies it, so ANY surveillance done would immediately expose him as perjured himself. You honestly think someone who is a bureaucrat, a politician ( his job is political in nature) and a lawyer would expose himself like that?? It's not that he denied an investigation taking place. So why admit to that but not wiretapping??? The word was rational right? So answer my question posed, provide some actual proof to your claims. As it stands now it literally is Trumps word. Something that has been proven iffy an numerous occasions. And the whole justice department. If you would have to say which of the 2 is more likely to lie, can you honestly claim Trump would be more trustworthy.

definitely. you?

Lol I can not argue against someone who needs nothing more then the word of someone who even his own advisers say not to be taken too seriously.

dude, too funny, and yet here you are in a thread about something that has been going on for seven months with the existence of nothing. Naw, you don't get to make that claim douche bag.

Nothing?? So far 2 ppl in his cabinet have been caught with Russians. 1 While undermining the sitting presidents imposing of sanctions. The other one seemingly have forgotten that he met with the Russian ambassador. You have 1 campaign manager being shown quietly to the door because of pro Russian lobbying in the Ukraine. Oh yes and the fact that the entire intelligence community has taken a stand that Russia hacked the DNC with the express purpose of trying to get Trump elected. And every time one of these things goes public. You and your people say, nothing to it. You would make me laugh if the situation wasn't serious enough to make me mad. You like to throw the word traitor around. Ask yourself since when is defending a foreign power interfering in the election process become a patriotic duty????

Flynn was doing his job. Nothing illegal. As to Manafort the Ukrainians have admitted to fucking him over to bump him from Trump's campaign.

Politico did a randam act of journalism and discovered that they were lying saying that they were investigating Manafort for corruption.

Flat out lie. And when all the agencies claim that the DNC server was hacked by the Russians and yet not one freaking agency has examined the server themselves but the word of Crowdstrike none of them have any credibility anymore.

Oh one really good Russian connection though comes thru the Democrats. Podesta Group was working for the Kremlin's government bank to lobby to get the sanctions lifted.

Here you have Tony Podesta on the Russians payroll

Now THAT'S a connection.

Tiny....try again!

Tony Podesta is NOT connected to the Clinton campaign....

 

[ScienceRocks]

I am glad. If Trump was working for the russians he should be investigated and should go to prison for it.

Tony Podesta is NOT connected to the Clinton campaign....

He's a major campaign bundler for Clinton. And he royally f'd up by failing to register that he was working for the Russian government's bank.

"Clinton Bundler’s Contact With Campaign Chair Skirted Foreign Government Lobbying Laws
Tony Podesta's firm failed to file legally required disclosures after emails with his WH adviser brother

October 25, 2016 5:30 pm
A high-dollar lobbyist and fundraiser for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign failed to file legally required disclosures for his advocacy on behalf of a foreign government in discussions with Clinton's future campaign chairman, according to a political law expert.

High-powered Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta emailed his brother John, a top White House adviser who would later chair the Clinton campaign, in January 2015. Tony wondered if John would attend a meeting with the Indian ambassador to the United States."

A nice couple of left wing sources.

Podesta Group Connected to Bank Named in Panama Papers

With Saudi and Russian ties, Clinton machine’s tentacles are far reaching, according to Panama Papers

And...

Almost lost among the many revelations is the fact that Russia’s biggest bank uses The Podesta Group as its lobbyist in Washington, D.C. Though hardly a household name, this firm is well known inside the Beltway, not least because its CEO is Tony Podesta, one of the best-connected Democratic machers in the country.

He founded the firm in 1998 with his brother John, formerly chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, then counselor to President Barack Obama, Mr. Podesta is the very definition of a Democratic insider. Outsiders engage the Podestas and their well-connected lobbying firm to improve their image and get access to Democratic bigwigs.

Which is exactly what Sberbank, Russia’s biggest financial institution, did this spring. As reported at the end of March, the Podesta Group registered with the U.S. Government as a lobbyist for Sberbank, as required by law, naming three Podesta Group staffers: Tony Podesta plus Stephen Rademaker and David Adams, the last two former assistant secretaries of state.

It should be noted that Tony Podesta is a big-money bundler for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign while his brother John is the chairman of that campaign, the chief architect of her plans to take the White House this November.

Sberbank (Savings Bank in Russian) engaged the Podesta Group to help its public image—leading Moscow financial institutions not exactly being known for their propriety and wholesomeness—and specifically to help lift some of the pain of sanctions placed on Russia in the aftermath of the Kremlin’s aggression against Ukraine, which has caused real pain to the country’s hard-hit financial sector.

It’s hardly surprising that Sberbank sought the help of Democratic insiders like the Podesta Group to aid them in this difficult hour, since they clearly understand how American politics work. The question is why the Podesta Group took Sberbank’s money. That financial institution isn’t exactly hiding in the shadows—it’s the biggest bank in Russia, and its reputation leaves a lot to be desired. Nobody acquainted with Russian finance was surprised that Sberbank wound up in the Panama Papers.

As long as there was a warrant and Obama did not personally order it ..... poooor Donny.

It's never ceased to amaze me how much the obie administration did without him knowing about it. A nod here, a shoulder bump there and hey he didn't know shit. As long as his lacky's were in on it then obie didn't have to know. And you wonder why we hate democrats.

Too bad we don't have any evidence like a reset button or some uranium deal that payed someone off big time. That would be a crazy smoking gun something is wrong.

...if NO SURVEILLANCE took place?

there's a difference between surveillance and wiretapping.

 

[skye]

Comey the Clown should make up his mind. Or better yet, leave the FBI.

yes no yes no yes no yes no..... it's unbearable!

 

[Valerie]

comey can't help what clowns like you don't understand.

Comey on Monday publicly confirmed for the first time that his agency is investigating possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign and whether any crimes may have been committed during last year's election campaign as part of a wider probe into the hacking of Democratic servers and the Clinton campaign.

"That includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts," Comey said in his opening statement to the committee.

The hearing, which also featured testimony from National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers saw Democrats highlight publicly available information about links between Trump associates and Russia. Republicans tried to turn the hearing into leaks that led to the resignation of former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Comey testified that US intelligence agencies agreed that Russia's aim evolved into an effort during the election to aid Trump over Clinton.

"They wanted to hurt our democracy, hurt her, help him. I think all three we were confident in at least as early as December," Comey said.

"The Putin regime has a long history of aggressive actions against other countries, including the outright invasion of two of its neighbors in recent years, as well as its brutal military action in Syria to defend the Assad regime. But it's hostile acts take many forms, aside from direct military assaults.

For example, the Kremlin is waging an international disinformation campaign through the RT propaganda network which traffics in anti-American conspiracy theories that rivaled the extravagant untruths of Soviet era Pravda (ph). Russia also has a long history of meddling in other countries, election systems and launching cyber attacks on a wide range of countries and industries.

The Baltic's and other Russian neighbors have long decried these attacks. But their warnings went unheeded in far too many nations' capitals, including our own. The fact that the Russia — that Russia hacked U.S. election-related databases comes as no shock to this committee. We have been closely monitoring Russia's aggression for years."

"Let me be clear, I've been saying this for several weeks. We know there was not a physical wiretap of Trump Tower. However, it's still possible that other surveillance activities were used against President's Trump and his associates."

 

[Valerie]

But there was NO surveillance. Now if you're stupid enough to believe they've been investigating since July and didn't do surveillance you're too stupid to form a rational conclusion.

you were saying, stoopitt..?
