We now have more evidence of a conspiracy by Trump to defraud our election

Well might as well lock the thread....clearly WTP is a legal expert so.....

Yep! He must be. With help from you, how could he not be right?

I never said it was a technical error. I said Obama's campaign blunder was a technical error.

The $50,000 dollars was illegal money given to Trump's inaugural from a foreign adversary. It's a federal crime, and an illegal donation, and someone is going to jail.

We also found out that this same guy Patten was working with Cambridge Analytica going all the way back to 2014 that involved research for the Kremlin. That work later found itself useful when Cambridge stole millions of FB accounts that were used against Clinton, that were paid for by Trump. Spreading false information to millions of FB readers to influence an election is a conspiracy, and like Patten's admission, proves that there were multiple conspiracies going on for Trump. Both with Russian and American help. This is an illegal election.

It's funny you think someone paying the President after the election means it influenced the election that had already happened. But not a s funny as thinking they would be paying the President because they used Facebook. If you haven't heard, Facebook doesn't like the President.

How many Dems voted for Trump because of a targeted Russian meme?

You tell me. On it's face, the act itself is illegal. And in the eyes of the law, the numbers are irrelevant, but the crime is. Your counter argument has zero weight.

You tell me.

From all the left-wing whining, it must have been millions.

On it's face, the act itself is illegal.

Posting a meme that Hillary is a crooked drunk is illegal?

Your idiotic response speaks for itself.

So you won't be explaining how the meme is illegal? LOL!

A straw purchase 4 tickets 50K ?
First, there’s a description of how he served as a straw purchaser for Lyovochkin for inauguration tickets.

To circumvent the foreign donation restriction, PATTEN, with the knowledge of Foreigner A, solicited a United States citizen to act as a “straw” purchaser so that he could conceal from the [Presidential Inauguration Committee] that the tickets for the inauguration were being paid for from a foreign source. The straw purchaser paid $50,000 for four inauguration tickets. The straw purchaser paid that sum one day after receiving from [Begemot Ventures] a check signed by PATTEN in the sum of $50,000. In turn, [Lyovochkin] had paid [Begemot] for the tickets though a Cypriot account. [Kilimnik and Lyovochkin] another Ukrainian, and PATTEN were allocated the four inauguration tickets. Thereafter, PATTEN attended a PIC even in Washington, D.C. with Foreigner B.

I suspect we’ll see a lot more straw purchasers funneling money from foreigners who backed his campaign into Donald Trump’s pocket before this investigation is done.

Less sexy, but procedurally more important, is the revelation that Patten also lied to SSCI.

In or about January 2018, the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) sought PATTEN’s voluntary testimony on various topics. In advance of that testimony, the SSCI sought various pertinent documents from PATTEN.

In or about January 2018, PATTEN testified before the SSCI. Both before and during his testimony, PATTEN misled the SSCI in that he intentionally did not provide SSCI certain documents that could lead to revelation of him causing and concealing the foreign purchase of the PIC tickets, described about, and gave false and misleading testimony to avoid disclosing that he had caused and concealed foreign money to be paid to the PIC. In addition, PATTEN provided misleading testimony about his representation of foreign principals in the United States, so as to conceal his violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Finally, after the interview, PATTEN deleted documents pertinent to his relationships with the above-described foreign principals.

As noted, this is one of the additional crimes that Patten will avoid being charged for by pleading to the FARA charge. Reportedly, SSCI made its own criminal referral, based off different comments.

All of this might concern people like Don Jr, who pretty clearly lied to multiple committees. Because it shows Mueller will use such crimes for leverage.

But Mueller probably has bigger things planned for Don Jr.

Update: This is speculation. But SSCI has released a statement making it clear that they referred Patten, but for statements other than what made it into his plea.

We can confirm that Mr. Patten produced documents to the Committee and was interviewed by Committee staff. Due to concerns about certain statements made by Mr. Patten, the Committee made a criminal referral to the Department of Justice. While the charge, and resultant plea, do not appear to directly involve our referral, we appreciate their review of this matter. We will have no further comments on this case at this time.

One thing SSCI has investigated closely is Cambridge Analytica. One thing this plea is utterly silent about is Patten’s work for CA in 2014.

Which would make the topic an even more interesting thing for Patten to cooperate on (without protection against prosecution) than just straw donors.

Yeah...sort of like obama getting a 375,000 dollar fine for taking foriegn campaign contributions which they knew were actually illegal.....when he gets out of jail for this violation, then we can look at Trump...... what? What do you mean that obama never went to jail for taking 1.8 million dollars in illegal campaign contributions....


Let's see....50,000 for tickets vs 1.8 million dollars in illegal campaign donations........hmmmm.....which is worse?

Obama 2008 campaign fined $375,000

President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission for campaign reporting violations — one of the largest fees ever levied against a presidential campaign, POLITICO has learned.
----

The major sticking point for the FEC appeared to be a series of missing 48-hour notices for nearly 1,300 contributions totaling more than $1.8 million — an issue that lawyers familiar with the commission’s work say the FEC takes seriously. The notices must be filed on contributions of $1,000 or more that are received within the 20-day window of Election Day.

Lol! You all still pedaling the technical error by Obama as the same as the premeditated illegal $50,000 dollar Russian inauguration money. That's funny.

Taking 1.8 milion dollars in illegal contributions is not a technical error you dope...they got caught, they payed the fine. Buying 4 tickets to an inauguration isn't even in the same league you dope.

Moron..... he bought 4 tickets ..... he could have said he was the easter bunny when he bought the 4 tickets...it doesn't matter who he bought them for since the the campaign doesn't have to check every ticket buyer to the event...... it is a public event you moron....

Washington lobbyist W. Samuel Patten pleaded guilty to acting as an unregistered foreign lobbyist, and admitted to lying to the Senate Intelligence Committee and funneling a Ukrainian oligarch's money to Donald Trump's Presidential Inaugural Committee. That is a crime by the way, furthering the narrative that once again this was an illegal election, where it was proven that foreign money was used for Trump and his campaign. And by a foreign adversary.

Can't wait to see how the Trump apologists will spin this conspiracy to try and show how Trump did nothing wrong. Good luck! Lol!

Hillary lost. Get over it and stop trying to overthrow the country.

Yep - Guilty pleas from 4 former staffers - quite connected to Trump

DERP

And best of all Russia has Trump over a barrel

Must be why he keeps putting sanctions on them.

Trump isn't the one putting sanctions on Russia. He wanted them lifted day one.

Then that must be why he approved of sanctions on Russia than.

He didn't approve. He was politically forced by his own party to reinstate those sanctions. Lifting them would have been too obvious.

Mikey actually believes that nobody has been tougher on Russia than Trump.
Which is funny - Don't care who ya are

Not if the money came from foreign nationals, which it did.

And another little nugget for you to chew on, is the fact that Patten coordinated with Russians and a "U.S. congressman and their staff" to try and influence the election on Trump's behalf; The charges said Patten worked with his Russian partner to set up meetings between an unnamed "prominent Ukraine oligarch" and member of the US Congress and their staff "to influence United States policy."

What better way to avoid a debate than to use distractions that have nothing to do with the truth and the rule of law.

Not one Trump apologist on here has debated this thread intelligently, and with counter arguing points to the facts presented. That said, with Patten's conviction, and others on the way, whatever the apologists have to say, really mean absolutely nothing. In the end, the law speaks for the truth, and that's all that really matters. The only problem with that is, it doesn't work in favor of Trump's mafia supporters.Manafort associate admits paying Trump inauguration $50,000 in Ukrainian cash
