I was already thinking... you mentioned former FBI director, so...
Mueller was FBI Director before Comey, which makes him a former FBI director.

Try to pay attention. I know it's hard now that shit is finally starting to hit the fan for the Trump train...

But try.

All of a sudden, I feel like spamming gifs and memes like a Trumptard...

It shows a really sad part of human nature to see the same people on board for that bizarre pizza-gate hoax now saying; “what evidence? There is no evidence of collusion. This is a witch hunt.” They are suddenly skeptically minded people despite FBI documented, grand jury approved evidence.

As an article I saw suggested, at this point all that is left to be decided is whether this is Watergate or Iran-Contra.

The question isn't whether or not Trump's campaign was involved in collusion, the question is whether or not they kept enough distance from it and Trump himself.

It's clear from the Papadopolous footnote that the team, as dumb as they are, recognized this by sending lower-level operatives (but were too stupid to not put it in writing). If they were smarter they would have concocted a contemporaneous email from Trump himself warning about 'foreign influence' or something that the right-wing media could rally around as 'proof' of his innocence. Plausible deniabilty is always helpful.

I think in prior years this would take down Trump, but the climate is just too poisoned now. Even if Mueller gets senior campaign members to roll on Trump as witnesses, there's just too many retards, like all the dipshits in this thread, fuelling a right-wing media and Republican congress that won't allow him to be impeached on anything less than a smoking gun.

Seth Abramson is a law professor and journalist for BBC, Washington Post, CNN. Sorry for how long this is but I think it’s really interesting.

REPORT - Fox News is reporting that a White House source has informed John Roberts (Fox News White House Correspondent) that the indictment against George Papadopoulos is based on emails provided to the special counsel by the White House / Trump campaign. This includes a series of emails where Papadopoulos urged the campaign to take a meeting with Russian government agents.

These request for a meeting were ignored by senior campaign officials. Papadopoulos was brought in to branch out relations to Greece, NOT Russia. His role in the campaign was minor and the evidence provided to the special counsel, again came directly from the White House. This shows the White House has been cooperating fully with the special counsel and has nothing to hide.

I expect this to develop into a major story. It shows that the campaign went out of their way to AVOID collusion with the Russians. It proves that Donald Trump and his campaign tried to play it by the book. It can put to bed a lot of the “collusion” conspiracy theories Democrats have been floating in the media for the past 72 hours.

To be fair, we still don't know if pizzagate is a thing or not.

Lol @ the White House saying he was a low-level staffer when he was in a "National Security Meeting" photo with Trump and team.

That is the left or right mentality. People who are open to any evidence regarding this case were casting doutb on the Hillary debacle, and vice versa. That is my frustration, people are willing to be loyal to a lie as long as they are part of a team. We should rid ourselves of this mentality as it is used against us.

Am I the only one who pictures this guy when I hear George Papadopoulos' name in the news?



RIP Alex Karras. The MSM is ruining your life's work.

Thankfully, the rest of the Webster cast lives on. Susan Clark has moved on from the industry and lives in Los Angeles. Emmanuel Lewis has a recurring role in the current hit Modern Family playing the part of Manny.

Sessions lied during his testimony to Congress?
Citing “a person in the room,” CNN reports that the Putin-Trump meeting idea was “raised by George Papadopoulos as he introduced himself.” Papadopoulos, who Trump name-dropped as one of his foreign policy advisers just days earlier, told the group “that he had connections that could help arrange a meeting between then-candidate Trump and President Putin,” according to details of his guilty plea made public this week. The timeline laid out in the plea agreement indicates Papadopoulos had just returned from Europe, where he had met with a Kremlin-connected professor who took an interest in him because of his role with the Trump campaign.
The Times, citing an interview with a Trump campaign aide who were in the room for that March 2016 meeting, reports that Trump listened as Papadopoulos proposed the meeting with Putin and even asked questions. But then Sessions, “as the campaign’s top national security official, spoke vehemently against the idea, asking others not to discuss it again. Mr. Trump did not challenge him, the former aide said.”
OK. CNN has just published a story and I'm telling you this about a news story that's just been published. I'm not expecting you to know whether or not it's true or not. But CNN just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week that included information that quote, "Russian operatives claimed to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump." These documents also allegedly say quote, "There was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump's surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government."

Now, again, I'm telling you this as it's coming out, so you know. But if it's true, it's obviously extremely serious and if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?


"Senator Franken, I’m not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn’t have—did not have communications with the Russians, and I’m unable to comment on it"
Papadopoulos’s guilty plea, along with the CNN and Times reports, indicates he knew campaign surrogates were in communication with Russian officials. Recall that Sessions denied having such knowledge during his testimony to Congress. The inconsistency between Sessions’s testimony and what we now know about the Trump campaign’s contact with Russia is particularly problematic for the attorney general, given that he was under oath.

The sequence of events detailed in Papadopoulos’s guilty plea, further detailed by CNN and the Times, also pose problems for Trump. Trump said he was unaware of any campaign aides who had contact with Russians during the election. His denial is impossible to square with what we now know about the March 2016 meeting of his national security team in which both he and Sessions were informed that a campaign adviser was in touch with Russian officials and could even arrange a meeting with Putin.
