One year ago today
 

“If we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said that.”

Those who say Mueller found no collusion between Tweety and Russia are wrong. Mueller found no conspiracy, but facts amount to collusion — Tweety knew about Russian interference, welcomed the help, and used it for campaign messaging.

This needs to be said again and again. Collusion is secret coordination to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome. It describes behavior.

Conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime. It is a legal definition.

They aren’t the same, and #1 is still bad

Don't forget that there are things explosive enough in the huge swaths of the Mueller Report that remain redacted that Tweety and DOJ are willing to go all the way to SCOTUS to keep them hidden.

thanks for reminding us of your disappointment one year ago....:kewl:...one year later...still no collusion nor conspiracy:hs:...maybe next year...put it on your calendar

There WAS a conspiracy. And it was concocted so expertly, that it would take some group or groups who's profession is the exposing or creating of meticulous conspiracy narratives--professionals, such as the CIA or the FBI--to create the scenarios so realistically that they still grip the minds of those who hate Trump. They keep clinging to the phony but masterfully fabricated story-- even as the fake conspiracy is unravelling before our eyes, people like PeteF have the story so well planted in their heads that they continue to view the deception as unquestionable reality.

They can't let it go. Probably have too much personal credibility invested in it. Might be devastating to their psyche to realize that they have been so thoroughly duped. May always continue to believe no matter what evidence is exposed or what conclusions are made.

Do I have your conspiracy theory right?
Four years ago, there was a global conspiracy—comprised of President Obama, Vice President Biden, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI Director Jim Comey, much of the FBI, the DNC, a company called CrowdStrike, multiple foreign intelligence services, and Ukrainian oligarchs—to undermine Donald Trump by planting a phony conspiracy theory that he was colluding with the Russians to win the 2016 election. These deep state operators framed several top Trump officials, fabricated evidence, and spied on the campaign with the end goal of committing the biggest fraud in American history in order to derail Trump.

Funny how this makes sense to Bitchslappedboy

Details unfold. You know, as you've reminded us about how the truth about Trump was coming out--drip, drip, drip . . .

Not my theory. Probably not as elaborately "global" as you postulate. Probably localized to a small group who used global resources, among their own, fictitious or otherwise. Probably developed in time and necessity, one thing leading to another. Probably turned into cover-up (CYA). Probably turned into the phony cause for impeachment, driven by political operatives such as Adam Schiff.

You don't hear that much from Schiffty lately. In his glorious House Investigation and impeachment days, he was daily in the news spouting such nonsense such as him having clear evidence of Trump collusion. After the House interviews were declassified and revealed that under oath all the players who had claimed to know that Trump colluded, actually admitted during their interviews with Schiffty that there wasn't any evidence that Trump did.

Schiffty has been rather quiet lately.

You have a lot of probably going on, always a good basis for a conspiracy theory.

Here’s Schiff’s recent statement

Here’s what the Flynn transcripts show:

Gen. Flynn secretly discussed the U.S. response to Russia’s brazen election interference, and lied about it to the FBI and Vice President.

No wonder Trump and his allies are trying to re-write history,

Because the facts are so damning.

The facts are (again from The Hill): "The newly released transcripts reveal the lack of a foundation for that charge [the false statement]. Courts have held that the materiality requirement for such a charge requires that misstatements be linked to the particular 'subject of the investigation.' The Justice Department found that the false statement in February 2017 was not material 'to any viable counterintelligence investigation - or any investigation, for that matter - initiated by the FBI.' In other words, by that time, these FBI officials had no crime under investigation but were, instead, looking for a crime. The question is: Why?

"So the transcripts confirm there never was a scintilla of criminal conduct or evidence of collusion against Flynn before or during these calls. Indeed, there was no viable criminal investigation to speak of when Comey sent 'a couple guys over' to entrap Flynn; they already had the transcripts and the knowledge that Flynn had done nothing wrong."

Is this the history that you claim is being re-written (from The Hill):"The real question is why the FBI continued to investigate Flynn in the absence of any crime or evidence of collusion. In December 2016, investigators had found no evidence of any crime by Flynn. They wanted to shut down the investigation; they were overruled by superiors, including FBI special agent Peter Strzok, Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and Director James Comey. Strzok told the investigators to keep the case alive, and McCabe is described as 'cutting #^&#^&#^&#^&' another high-ranking official who questioned the basis for continuing to investigate Flynn. All three officials were later fired, and all three were later found by career officials to have engaged in serious misconduct as part of the Russia investigation.

"Recently disclosed information revealed that Comey and President Obama discussed using the Logan Act as a pretense for a criminal charge. The Logan Act criminalizes private negotiations with foreign governments; it is widely viewed as unconstitutional and has never been used successfully against any U.S. citizen since the earliest days of the Republic. Its use against the incoming national security adviser would have been absurd. Yet, that unconstitutional crime was the only crime Comey could come up with, long before there was a false statement by Flynn regarding his calls.

"Not until February 2017 did Comey circumvent long-standing protocols and order an interview with Flynn. Comey later bragged that he 'probably wouldn't have ... gotten away with it' in other administrations, but he sent 'a couple guys over' to question Flynn, who was settling into his new office as national security adviser. We learned recently that Strzok discussed trying to get Flynn to give false or misleading information in that interview, to enable a criminal charge, and that FBI lawyer Lisa Page suggested agents 'just casually slip' in a reference to the criminal provision for lying and then get Flynn to slip up on the details.

"Flynn did slip up. While investigators said they were not convinced he intentionally lied, he gave a false statement. Later, special counsel Robert Mueller charged Flynn with that false statement, to pressure him into cooperating; Flynn fought the case into virtual bankruptcy but agreed to plead guilty when Mueller threatened to prosecute his son, too."

“What is most scandalous and damning in these transcripts is what Flynn did not say.

“At no point does Flynn castigate Kislyak for Russia’s intervention in the 2016 election. He does not confront the Russian ambassador for Putin’s covert operation to subvert American democracy.
Because he has no problem with that

ooooh....maybe they should charge him for what he did not say?!

Scandalous
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

Doesn't seem like Pete understands how ridiculous it is to claim that it's scandalous not to confront the Russian Ambassador over Putin's covert action. The whole purpose for the call was to diplomatically try to keep the Russians from overreacting and escalating the tit for tat over Obama's expulsions and sanctions. CONFRONTING Kislyak, rather than diplomatically and rationally suggesting an even handed response as Flynn did, could well provoke the very escalation he was trying to avoid.

Flynn's call was not illegal or treasonous, nor even "scandalous." It was a good and proper call.

You have previously made various pro election interference statements, and didn’t read the Mueller report.
Just keep believing in Putin’s Puppet
He’s back helping him today.

Maybe there was cause to investigate Tweety’s campaign’s involvement with Russia.
“Probably” they knew that Tweety was lying about having no “deals” in Russia, the financial entanglement with oligarchs, etc.

Yeah, I'll keep believing--that you've been willingly duped.

Me and the rest of the G7 other than Tweety.

Any push by Donald Trump to readmit Russia to the G7 gathering of economically advanced nations would be vetoed by the U.K., Boris Johnson's official spokesperson said Monday.

Speaking to journalists at a daily briefing, Johnson's spokesperson said that while it was up to host nations to decide which countries could be invited as guests, the U.K. would not support Russia being "readmitted as a member of the group.”

Decisions on G7 membership are subject to the unanimous backing of all members. Russia was ejected from the group — previously the G8 — after its annexation of Crimea in 2014.

Johnson's spokesperson said the U.K. would not support Russia's return to the G7 fold "unless it ceases aggressive and destabilizing activity that threatens the safety of U.K. citizens and the collective security of our allies," adding: "We are yet to see evidence of changed behavior.”

Then, if the rest of the G7 other than Tweety believe Tweety is in cahoots with Putin, then they should kick the U.S. out of the G's and make it the G6 plus PeteF.

Tweety is trying his best to suck up to Putin before he gets voted out of office in November.

Can't endanger Tweety's funding source and he'll need a safe haven after the NYS AG charges him.

Yeah . . . yeah . . . yeah . . . Trump has to bank on Putin. Putin can save him. Really? How?

Got some new orders today
The Kremlin has confirmed Pres Trump and Putin spoke today, per Reuters
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

No doubt Trump asked Putin for some help in silencing intractable and unreasonable critics (such as PeteF). The Russkies have effective ways of producing various "accidents" or unusual poisonings of people worldwide. You might want to be careful. Just sayin'

Are you saying I could end up like Epstein?

I don't know man . . . you know . . . like you have a big mouth . . . and thugs and killers like Trump and Putin only put up with so much . . . Epstein . . . Hoffa . . . Khashoggi . . . you know . . . I mean Trump already killed a hundred thou . . . I mean you could go real easy . . . if they don't like you and want to make an example . . . they might put you through some stuff

Some stuff is exactly how Tweety referred to what he wanted to happen to Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch. Too weak to deal with strong women.
Classy guy, your idea of an American hero.
The world is laughing at the weak, incompetent man hiding in the White House.

Russia says Tweety was reporting in

President Trump informed Russian President Vladimir Putin in a phone call of his suggestion to invite Russia to the upcoming G7 summit, the Kremlin says.

The Kremlin said the call was initiated by the US side.

Maybe Tweety was looking for Vlads advice on how to handle demonstrators, Will his next call be to another one of his great friends, Xi?

More of your petty, vidictive, hateful, depictions--sick.

Records matter, in football, baseball and politics, not everyone gets into the hall of fame.

Trump got into the hall of fame in raising the economy more than most other Presidents.

Coat tail economy he should be proud.

The tail is on his own coat. He should be proud. And he made the hall of fame.

Silly Tweety fluffer, he’s a con man, always has been, always will be.
He has never read the Constitution, has no idea what rights citizens have. He has no more of an understanding of the Bible than he does of the Constitution, but he knows how to manipulate his base.
