The Donald Trump thread

[Wales-Bales]

Oh shit https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45265546




Let me guess.... "it's all a set up. Donald Trump's long-time personal lawyer is a part of the plan to get Trump out of the Presidency. It was set up a decade ago to get to this point for...some reason that will make sense to one or two people in this thread but will be laughed about by others. NO COLLUSION LARDY!!!"

Oh yeah, another Trump campaign member... sorry, campaign manager has been found guilty of 8 charges today too.

Like I said before, I am prepared to dump the trump if he is guilty, but first could you please clarify which US law(s) he has broken stating the relevant clause number(s), the evidence supporting this claim of guilt, and details of any prevous offences. Thank you most kindly, together we can make the world a better place.

To be fair, the swamp is being drained pretty quickly thanks to trump. Though it's only people he brought with him.

I would say that things are not looking good for Trump.

Cohen — who pleaded guilty earlier on Tuesday to helping President Trump pay hush money to two women — wants to tell Mueller that Trump knew of an infamous 2016 meeting at Trump Tower and the Russian hacking of Democratic institutions before they took place, Lanny Davis told MSNBC.

“Mr. Cohen has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest to the special counsel and is more than happy to tell the special counsel all that he knows,” Davis told the network.

“Not just about the obvious possibility of a conspiracy to collude and corrupt the American democracy system in the 2016 election, which the Trump Tower meeting was all about, but also knowledge about the computer crime of hacking and whether or not Mr. Trump knew ahead of time about that crime and even cheered it on.”

Wow, this is huge, have you got any further updates? This one should easily finish off Trump. Do you have any idea when Cohen is going to spill his guts?

[CardiffIrish2]

Not a good day for 45 fair play with his lawyer stating he did what he did under direction from DT.

Wonder what Cohen will tell in order to get a lesser sentence.

It's the kids you have to feel sorry for. Little Gluey loves his red MAGA cap. Imagine his face when sees the news this morning. It's heartbreaking.

It's a plea deal, the prosecution will have told him what to say in a prepared statement.

[CardiffIrish2]

It’s ironic that he spent all this time talking about draining the swamp when he’s had close connections with two convicted criminals.

The reason I don’t like him as I could see he’s a sleazy immoral character who’s full of shit, I’ve no doubt more will come out too.


He won’t be going anywhere though the Republicans won’t give him up.

Four so far. Cohen, Manafort, Flynn, Gates. The list is only going to get longer.

It will get longer, but who is going to be on the list?

He's already had a wobble, asking me to "clarify which US law(s) he [Trump] has broken stating the relevant clause number(s), the evidence supporting this claim of guilt, and details of any prevous offences". Like I'm the ****ing prosecutor here.

Let's let Mueller do his thing now. In the words of Gluey "things are about to get very interesting in Trumpland"

I don't recall him being quite such a stickler for legal detail with Awan the IT guy, Strzok, Obama, Hillary, Comey, or the dozens of other people he's accused of illegal activity in this thread (I've forgotten most of the conspiracy theories) on the basis of nothing more than flimsy internet gossip.

There is physical evidence that can be examined in all of these cases.

Not a wobble, we need to know all the facts. Most people facing a very long stretch in prison would say anything to get away with a lesser sentence. Cohen is a known liar, and the beauty of a plea deal is that the evidence will never get challenged in court.

The important thing to remember is that this whole saga is not about Trump, it's about bad actors using the power of the state to interfere in the democratic process. I don't see how any of this is acceptable, the system is broken and needs to be fixed by any means necessary. People don't realise that next time the shoe could be on the other foot, so they should be careful what they wish for.

Truth will win in the end. Hopefully

Well one person has pleaded guilty to a crime and another found guilty
Both connected to DT.
That’s today’s truth for sure 👍

What if people connected to Hillary and Obama are found guilty? What if Mueller is exposed for some wrongdoing in his evidence gathering? How were the illegal wiretaps used to collect information? Still lots of variables in play, so it's too soon to call IMO. I'm still waiting for the hammer blow that decides it one way or the other. There is a lot at stake here, and we are going to see desperate measures coming from all directions.

Well that’s a lot of what ifs isn’t it?

Where’s the investigations for those things then? Are anyone connected to Hilary and Obama in the dock?

Or is this more wishful thinking on your part?

It's more distraction and deflection. Really, put him on ignore. He contributes nothing worthwhile.

I dunno about you, but I'm waiting for the fat lady to make an appearance. If this was Mueller's best hand (coordinated Manafort & Cohen announcments), I'd be a bit worried about what the other side has got!

Anyone who thinks this is the end of the Trump Presidency, remember one thing. He faces prosecution if he leaves the Presidency. He will now never leave the Presidency.

I think this is correct, and further to that every action trump does from now on (if it wasn't already the case) will have the sole purpose of keeping him as president. This is not good for the rest of the world.
