Re: The Donald Trump thread

The speculation is the fraud charge is just a placeholder for further charges. Who knows, maybe will will turn state's evidence against the bigger fish further up the chain? Or he could even get off scott free. There are too many variables in play at the moment.

And you're wondering why the BBC isn't publishing all that speculation about what might happen?

So do you think that ABC, NBC, CBS and the rest of the MSM should publish speculation or wait until the placeholder moves to more concrete charges?

So we need the entire msm to report every development in every story. And if they don't...

Re: The Donald Trump thread

Wow, they hated Trump nearly as much as Glastonbury hated Corbyn!

They loved trump so much that the head of Boy Scouts America has apologised to all members for the content of his speech.

Can't wait for Trump's hissy fit on Twitter about that 😂

^^ Re: Scout rally ^^
That isn't cognitive political / ideological support - when I was 14 or whatever I would probably have cheered for a gobby, gung-ho-bigoted 'man-at-the-top', and likely boo'd the mention of the posh ol' wicked woman and got rowdy with my mates and loved the tub-thumping etc etc.
It's what kids like. Young scouty-type lads especially, surely.
Probably spent the rest of the day trying to out-brag each other, display unpleasant tendencies toward girls, try to catch and kill small furry creatures, and put mud down the arse-crack of the ginger kid.

Much like the majority of the adult Americans attending Trumps rallies.. ah .. maybe I was wrong about it being a kid thing...

The us military have said they'll ignore trump's Twitter burbling about kicking all transgenders out. “In the meantime, we will continue to treat all of our personnel with respect,” said the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff.

Good. Banning transgender people is ****ing crazy

Don't forget this is the same MSM who write front-page news headlines everytime Trump farts, and they've also been stringing the Russian narrative along for over 9 months without proof of anything ever happening, so an actual arrest is quite a big improvement on this. And Wasserman Schultz is the big fish Democrat who employed Awan, and she kept him on even though his clearance had been revoked, while other members of his family who had already been fired from the IT department fled to Pakistan. So yeah, they probably should have reported that her IT guy had been arrested on fraud charges.

But not hacking as you originally speculated.

Well the FBI do have some evidence, a bunch of laptops, damaged hard drives and about 20 BlackBerries in their possession with government markings on them, so I think it is fair to speculate on that considering other members of his family were fired for unauthorised access to the House of Representatives computer networks. The hacking allegations are based on the work of journalists who have spoken to law enforcement officials.

Hopefully the FBI will be able to work out the difference between hardware and software and find the hacking evidence to press the charges you suggest are likely

The hacking investigation is months old already, that's why the Capital Police chief wouldn't hand over the laptop in the above video and he got threatened for his troubles.

This Awan fella owned 12 houses and 22 businesses, which he ran while working as a Congress IT guy.

The hook in this story states:

FBI seized smashed hard drives from Wasserman Schultz: Report

Daily Caller reporter Luke Rosiak on reports that FBI agents seized smashed computer hard drives from former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz's home

That's not true is it?
