Must be nice.No, Trump's not responsible for anything that backfires on him. He's only responsible when he can take credit for something whether he deserves it or not.Trump wasn't responsible for letting Papadopoulos in his campaign. He was just a low level volunteer without pay. Now he's been tied to Fusion GPS and the dossier source and oh, there is no Russian collusion directly linked to Trump.Nothing you just posted proves me to be a liar.Gregg Jarrett: Still no evidence of Trump-Russia 'collusion' - but Hillary is a different matter
"To put it plainly, Mueller is tasked with finding a crime that does not exist in the law. It is a legal impossibility. He is being asked to do something that is manifestly unattainable".
Zero evidence, and the Indictnents against Manafort equate to a tax fraud xase, nothing to do with Trump or non-existent Trump Collusion...
Billary Clinton and the case that can be made against her, however, is something different altogether:
"Hillary Clinton
It is against the law for the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to funnel millions of dollars to a British spy and to Russian sources in order to obtain the infamous and discredited Trump “dossier.” The Federal Election Campaign Act (52 USC 30101) prohibits foreign nationals and governments from giving or receiving money in U.S. campaigns. It also prohibits the filing of false or misleading campaign reports to hide the true purpose of the money (52 USC 30121). This is what Clinton and the DNC appear to have done.
Most often the penalty for violating this law is a fine, but in egregious cases, like this one, criminal prosecutions have been sought and convictions obtained. In this sense, it could be said that Hillary Clinton is the one who was conspiring with the Russians by breaking campaign finance laws with impunity."
This is called the 'tip of the iceberg'.
"But that’s not all. Damning new evidence appears to show that Clinton used her office as Secretary of State to confer benefits to Russia in exchange for millions of dollars in donations to her foundation and cash to her husband. Secret recordings, intercepted emails, financial records, and eyewitness accounts allegedly show that Russian nuclear officials enriched the Clintons at the very time Hillary presided over a governing body which unanimously approved the sale of one-fifth of America’s uranium supply to Russia.
If this proves to be a corrupt “pay-to-play” scheme, it would constitute a myriad of crimes, including bribery (18 USC 201-b), mail fraud (18 USC 1341), and wire fraud (18 USC 1343). It might also qualify for racketeering charges (18 USC 1961-1968), if her foundation is determined to have been used as a criminal enterprise."
What we know so far
Sorry, but this is years ago, before Paul Manafort was part of the Trump campaign. But why aren’t Crooked Hillary & the Dems the focus????? … Also, there is NO COLLUSION!
- Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and a business associate, Rick Gates, on Monday pleaded not guilty to an indictment for money laundering, tax evasion, failure to register as agents for foreign interests and conspiracy to defraud the US government.
- Documents unsealed on Monday also revealed that George Papadopoulos, a former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, pleaded guilty on 5 October to lying to FBI agents over contact with people he believed to be senior Russian government officials. He has since acted as a “proactive cooperator” with the inquiry.
- The indictments were the first issued by special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion by members of the Trump campaign.
- Donald Trump tweeted furiously after news broke of the indictments against Manafort and Gates:
Trump finds Russia investigation 'very distracting', says John Kelly – as it happened
- The president has not tweeted since the announcement of Papadopoulos’ guilty plea.
- Manafort and Gates spent Monday night under house arrest, with bail set at $10m and $5m respectively.
- White House chief of staff John Kelly kept to the official administration line that the offences in the indictments relate to a period before the men were connected to the Trump campaign (this fact check rates that claim as “mostly false”),
Busted liar!!!
Manafort was indicted for Tax Evasion charges dating back to 2006.
- No evidence against Trump. No collusion.
- If Manafort was guilty of tax evasion in 2006 then why didn't Mueller take him down then?
- Mueller's indictment of Manafort is his 'Scooter Libby', a desperate attempt to justify spending $20 MILLION dollars on an investigation that has come up with NO evidence or indictments of Trump but a lame-ass indictment against Manafort for Tax Evasion dating back to 2006.
Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying, not for anything to do with Tump, no evidence against Trump. The guy was also wearing a wire and shopping a book deal 3 weeks ago - he is an obvious Mueller 'plant'.
There is still no evidence against Trump, none to support the Collusion Lie. There IS evidence to prove criminal activity against the Podestas, the Clintons, Holder, Mueller, and Obama.
Nice try...you still lose.
If trump's goal was to drain the swamp then why hire a guy like that. The fact is that Trump's talk about draining the swamp was talk. He is just restocking it. The fact is that Manafort was under investigation by the Justice Department and that investigation was handed to Mueller when he was appointed special counsel. That is why Manafort was forced to register as a foreign agent earlier this year.
You don't know what Papadoupoulos is doing. It is not unusual for witnesses who provide relevant information to plead guilty on a lesser charge. We have no clue what it is all about.
There is evidence that links the Trump campaign to collusion. Donald Trump Jr met with a Russian National to get dirt on Clinton. His e-mail is proof of at least 1 case of collusion. There is no evidence of crimes against the Clintons or even Podesta at this point. You sound just like another crazy conspiracy theorist.
