The Donald Trump thread

Re: The Donald Trump thread

The president vs an it administrator. Who's got more to lose?

She is the former chairperson for the Democratic National Committee, so basically the cog that could bring them all down.

"An additional source in Congress with direct knowledge of the case, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the probe .."

"The Marine spoke on condition of anonymity because of concerns for his wife’s naval career, saying she doesn’t want to be associated with a national security incident"

I'll spare you your customary grinning smiley

All of this information was on the internet ages ago, I could even tell you the name of the marine and the address of the rental house

Donnie is not a happy chappie today.

Firing out the tweets isn't he? Wonder if he's trying to distract everyone.

In unrelated news, his son in law has been giving his testimony to the Senate today about the Russian witch hunt hoax. Or the cog that could bring them all down, depending on your point of view. I'm on the fence.

Like I said there is only going to be one winner here, so enjoy the view from the fence next to me

The Daily Caller isn't the original source of that story, I've known about it since Feb or March, I've even posted about it on here.

Doubtless, and I'm sure you could .

That story has been waiting to break for some time.
It will be interesting to see what comes of it now that it is.

I'm wondering if a significant part in the machine could be (Russian?) money laundering / Real estate scams that has got some key folks tangled up in 'Kompromat' - possibly, and thus maybe forcing them to bend in directions they may not have voluntarily undertaken.

All maybe's. Just pondering out loud.

Maybe nothing will come of it, the establishment are masters of making things disappear, and that's where all the blackmail files come in handy. As the Donald said himself in a tweet this morning "Drain the Swamp should be changed to Drain the Sewer - it's actually much worse than anyone ever thought".

It's certainly hard to believe that Jared would go to a meeting with Russians at that time (along with two other high ranking Trump Team members) without any idea what it was about as he has claimed. There's a lot going on that they don't want to come out. But it will - Jr is a very weak link.

And this is where I get frustrated.
I'd like to see the swamp/sewer drained. Or at least cleaned.
I just don't think that 'they' backed the best Trojan Horse in Don.
He's already alienated himself from those around him that had the impetus and the ability, as well as his original aides who got him where he is.
He now looks like an increasingly renegade blustering buffoon, with something to hide.
maybe that's the game, maybe that's the truth.

I'm still leaning more towards the other theory - that Trump is a plant - a ploy - a stooge - whether he knows it or not, to divide American society and Establishment to the point that it is a weak porridge of malcontent and dysfunction.
Someone(s) would like that...

Surely so.

This guy is very entertaining if you like a good yarn, but I can't quite work out how much of what he says is actually true or not. However he was right on the money regarding the IT guy who had the stolen government computers stashed in a house of his, and he even interviewed the ex-marine who was renting that property.

You could be right, and that is exactly why I am still sitting on the fence. Trump hasn't really played his hand yet, but we will know soon enough after he makes his first proper move. Everybody is just jockeying for position at the moment, but all the pieces are in position for one of the biggest political battles we are ever likely to witness. I think it's going to get ugly.
