    Just dirty politics, the Democrats are re-writing how politics should be played. 10 years from now I don't want to hear how dirty the Republicans are, the Dems have written the book on slime politics.

    And RP12 and icehole? Mueller is and should be playing hard ball. He knows the Alt Right and the Trump Team are the enemies of America.

    Who called the Grand Jury.. Or are you suggesting members of the Grand Jury leaked the information?

    What they have is what the White House gave them. When he took the position and ofcourse they handed over all his email transactions instead of involking executive privilege.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...bd5460f0d7e_story.html?utm_term=.e31f2e18447d

    Papadopoulos made more than a half-dozen overtures on behalf of Russians or people with Russia contacts whom he claimed to know.

    On March 24, Clovis, the campaign co-chairman who also served on the foreign policy team, reacted to one proposed Russia meeting by writing, “We thought we probably should not go forward with any meeting with the Russians until we have had occasion to sit with our NATO allies.”

    In the same email chain, Kubic, the retired admiral, reminded others about legal restrictions on meetings with certain Russian officials, adding, “Just want to make sure that no one on the team outruns their headlights and embarrasses the campaign.”

    Undeterred, Papadopoulos alerted then-campaign manager Corey Lewandowski in an April email that he was receiving “a lot of calls over the past month” about arranging a Russia meeting.

    “Putin wants to host the Trump team when the time is right,” he wrote on April 27.

    On May 4, Papadopoulos forwarded Lewandowski and others a note he received from the program head for the government-funded Russian International Affairs Council. In it, Ivan Timofeev, a senior official in the organization, reached out to report that Russian foreign ministry officials were open to a Trump visit to Moscow and requested that the campaign and Russians write a formal letter outlining the meeting.

    Clovis responded to the Timofeev invitation by noting: “There are legal issues we need to mitigate, meeting with foreign officials as a private citizen.”

    The email chain does not show a response from Lewandowski, who did not return calls seeking comment.

    Several weeks later, Papadopoulos forwarded the same message from Timofeev to Manafort, the newly named campaign chairman.

    “Russia has been eager to meet with Mr. Trump for some time and have been reaching out to me to discuss,” the adviser told Manafort.

    Manafort reacted coolly, forwarding the email to his associate Rick Gates, with a note: “We need someone to communicate that DT is not doing these trips.”

    Strange?

    Why would the Special Counsel comment on a leak?

    Do you have any idea how these things work?

    The Special Counsel commenting on a "leak"? :roflol:

    The Special Counsel commenting on a leak from the Grand Jury, no less.

    No, I don't think any of these people understand how these things work. Obviously.

    There are also 4 more sealed indictments between Manafort and Papadopoulos. Would be interested to see if they are associated.

    You think the GJ is sitting along in a room and nobody but them knows when indictments are handed down? Seriously?

    It's pointless to post to you if you don't know what happened.

    So far the indictments are about foreign influence in lobbying, something that is rife in DC. This could affect a lot of people on both sides of the isle.

    Oh no doubt about that. I'm thinking that there is going to be a lot of similarity here to what we're seeing in Hollywood after the Weinstein thing. Stuff is going to come out. There will possibly be a free for all of people running for cover by sharing dirt on others or making accusations. I think we've just seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to things like money laundering and all that. Both sides of the aisle.

    Which, if exposed, is good for the American people.

    I agree completely with this and can't wait to clean this crap up. This is exactly why I voted for Trump and if he personally was involved, I'll be the first to say impeach him.

    Getting the **** cleaned up will be a welcome thing for all Americans. The people in a position of power have it way too easy to manipulate the systems and make vast fortunes while taking advantage of the rest of us. Both sides of the aisle are guilty and it's time to expose them all.

    Papastuffoelus. Love it.

    They probably did wire him. If they did, it'll be interesting when we find out.

    Mueller is the perfect man for the job.

    And his targets are deserving of the full weight of his prosecution.

    How could they file? Neither Clinton nor the DNC can even paying the Russians 9 million to run a smear campaign on Trump, or as the DNC calls it...opposition research

    Chelsea Clinton calls for anti-American protests abroad to Get Trump

    Chelsea Clinton is back at it, calling for protests against the U.S. abroad and declaring President Trump anti-American, all because she can't get over the 2016 election.

    CC is calling for protests against Trump, not against Americans in general.

    Papadopoulos opened his mouth to an Australian diplomat in a London wine bar in April of 2016.The diplomat contacted our FBI when he got back to Australia,and thus the Russian ties to the Dirty Donald campaign were triggered.
