The Russia Investigation: Trump Pardons Flynn (17 Viewers)

Yeah, I'm sure he's kept his nose clean in state-related crimes.
Yup, they’re approaching the target phase of the prosecution. Up until now, bringing charges on people was for the hope of getting them to flip. Mueller’s team isn’t going to bring charges on a target that can be pardoned away without a backup plan. Look at what he did with Manafort’s plea deal. If they haven’t called your name yet, you’re the one they want in prison.

Mueller asked his friends in the FBI to investigate his accusers

big difference there

also, he knew the national media wasn't going to grasp at straws for years on end and twist his words and yearbook quotes to try t make something out of nothing

not even close in terms of how the national media would treat the accusations

So you believe that an independent counsel is more likely to be treated fairly by the FBI than a sitting federal appellate judge appointed to the Supreme Court?  And that the way to combat that unfairness is to whine, cry, be petulant, and deride sitting senators during a confirmation hearing?

Don't you realize the FBI is packed with a bunch of liberal judge-haters?

Wait, that's not how you tell your clients accused of sexual misconduct to act under oath?

1) In this instance, yes,...also it is about the  treatment by the media and congress

2) no, but it is a very human reaction

Article in French

translated: Dmitri Rybolovlev, the president of AS Monaco, was taken into custody at the request of a Monegasque judge, on the morning of Tuesday 6 November.

The Russian billionaire Dmitri Rybolovlev is at the heart of a judicial investigation opened by the Prosecutor General of Monaco for the facts of "corruption", "trading of active and passive influence" and complicity of these offenses.

BREAKING: This could be far bigger than we think

Bloomberg has reported Mueller is probing the below Trump-Russia deal, the implication being it might've been money laundering Trump is believed to have met Rybolovlev/an agent of his twice in the 10 days before the 2016 election

Oliver Bullough‏ @OliverBullough

Dmitry Rybolovlev, the Russian oligarch who bought a Florida mansion from Trump for $95 million, and a New York condo for $88 million, has been arrested in Monaco on corruption charges.

The media treated it differently because one was credible accusations and the other was obviously bs from the start.

 
Certainly could be a lead up to some post-election stories. I don’t know if we’ll see Mueller’s team do anything but I do think there’s a good chance that there will be a few bombshell stories that Mueller asked news outlets to sit on until after the election. One of which may connect Trump even more to the gentleman who was arrested.

Translated version of report from LeMonde for any so interested...

- eta - The Minister of Justice for Monaco has resigned as part of this investigation apparently.

Mueller Expands Probe to Trump Business Transactions

Edit to add: This article is from July 2017, but they just arrested Dmitri Rybolovlev in Monaco today.

Edited 1 hour ago by dozer
confusion because the article about the guy Trump colluded with was from July
If helpful the article specifically points to Rybolovlev's 2008 purchase of the Trump mansion in SoFla. Same guy currently under arrest in Monaco for: "The Russian businessman is at the heart of the judicial information opened a year ago by the Prosecutor General of Monaco for the facts of "corruption", "trafficking in active and passive influence" and complicity in these offenses." - per LeMonde.

If my life ended today, what would my legacy be? Sure, I did a wheelie on a dirt bike through an entire Waffle House, and I was once interviewed on the news for finding a foot on the beach, but yo, other than that, I have no truly great accomplishments.
Did they send a toe truck?

 
Jacob Wohl is a gift that just keeps giving, a series

Surefire Intelligence Managing Partner Donald Treehorn — who is almost certainly Jacob Wohl choosing an alias because he assumes no one else has ever watched The Big Lebowski — explained that they intended their email to Professor Taub to leak:

I want to clear up something. Ms. Taub was chosen with great care. We chose her precisely because we thought she might act the way she did, by running to the special council. We knew she would not miss this opportunity to get her 15 minutes of fame.

Please note that we did not send emails to any other people requesting information on Mueller, only Ms. Taub. We performed extensive research on her mindset, academic position and political activism. It was a bit of a long shot, as she was the only person we sent this email request to, but it worked. She did our bidding, and more so than we could have ever expected her to.

Trump and this guys planes were both in Charlotte at the exact same time 10 days before the 2016 elections
That is almost as odd as Bill Clinton's and Loretta Lynch's planes being in Phoenix in July at the exact same time, several days before the FBI/DOJ was scheduled to announce their decision on the email investigation.

So you think it probably means they met with each other?
