ANOTHER WHISTLE BLOWER: CROOKED TRIED TO FIX HIS IRS AUDIT
- Thread starter dherd
- Start date
Of course, you would totally ignore the context of the statement - which is in regard to elections.
Trump's "No Collusion".....has now changed to, "Yes Collusion".
I'm not sure either.....but the timing is certainly suspect. The day after the interview, and it's announced Sarah Sanders is resigning?
1, I can see Trump blaming her for not preparing him for the "collusion" question. OR, she may have recommended he take the interview, and he blamed her for the way it went down.
2. Then again, perhaps, she just threw up her hands and said, "enough" after Trump admitted he thought it was OK to break election laws after two years of non-stop "no collusion" messaging.
3. Her resignation was planned, and it's coincidence the announcement occurred the day after his "Yes Collusion!" interview.
But with President 10K? I would lean to numbers 1 and 2.
Late-Night Thinks Trump Must Be Confused About Collusion
“Apparently foreign dirt is the only import he won’t put tariffs on.” — TREVOR NOAH
[As Trump] “I’ve never called the F.B.I., not even when I fired the F.B.I. director. They had to hear it from CNN.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“He honestly does not seem to know what collusion is. All he knows is he didn’t do it. But he would do it, because why not?” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“The guy who has spent two years screaming tweeting, ‘No collusion!’ is now saying ‘If anyone’s down the collude, I’m your guy!’” — SETH MEYERS
[As Trump] “How about I get the dirt from a harmless little country like Norway or Sweden or Finland or just randomly heading east here, Russia? What’s the difference? Norway, Russia — both cold.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“Right now, you’ve gotta imagine Robert Mueller is just getting home with all his boxes after clearing out his office, turns on the T.V., and he’s like, ‘Damn it, honey, I’m going back to work. I’ll see you in another two years.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT
In a Thursday tweet about his comments on conversations with foreign governments, Trump mentioned he’d recently met with the queen of England and the “Prince of Whales.” “Unless Trump secretly met with Free Willy, that’s not how you spell prince of Wales.” — TREVOR NOAH
“Prince of Whales, fantastic guy. I threatened him with plankton tariffs, O.K.? I mean, I scared this guy. I got right up in his krill.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“This is very nice, though. Trump apologized for the mistake by tweeting, ‘Sorry price of Wales. Sincerely, Prince of Walls.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Which means the president may be in contact with Aquaman for all we know.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

TRUMP ACCUSES WARNER/SCHIFF OF TAKING CALLS FROM RUSSIANS OFFERING DIRT
But they are not precise parallels. While many have criticized the veracity of Mr. Steele’s dossier and how it was used by Mrs. Clinton’s campaign or the government, he was not working for a hostile government and he turned over his findings to the F.B.I.
Likewise, Mr. Trump accused Mr. Warner and Mr. Schiff of double standards, saying that each of them spoke with someone “purporting to be a Russian Operative” about the president. “Did he call the FBI, or even think to call the FBI?” Mr. Trump wrote of Mr. Schiff. “NO!”
An aide to Mr. Warner said the office was uncertain what Mr. Trump was referring to. He could have been conflating the senator with Mr. Schiff, who in 2017 did take what turned out to be a prank telephone call from two Russians masquerading as a member of the Ukrainian Parliament who had compromising information on the president.
Mr. Schiff responded in a tweet on Thursday that he had in fact informed the F.B.I. of the outreach, which he believed could aid a House investigation into Russian interference. “When a foreign national offered info relevant to our investigation — not election — we informed the FBI before and after the call,” he wrote, responding to Mr. Trump. “It’s called ethics. You should try it.”
I HAVE A QUESTION. HOW DID CROOKED KNOW RUSSIAN AGENTS ATTEMPTED TO SET SCHIFF UP?

JAPANESE SHIP OWNER SAYS CROOKED IS LYING ABOUT SHIP ATTACK
June 14 at 1:20 PM
TOKYO —The owner of a Japanese tanker attacked in the Gulf of Oman offered a different account Friday of the nature of the attack than that provided by the United States.
Yutaka Katada, president of the Kokuka Sangyo shipping company, said the Filipino crew of the Kokuka Courageous tanker thought their vessel was hit by flying objects rather than a mine.
“The crew are saying it was hit with a flying object. They say something came flying toward them, then there was an explosion, then there was a hole in the vessel,” he told reporters. “Then some crew witnessed a second shot.”
“To put a bomb on the side is not something we are thinking,” he said. “If it’s between an explosion and a penetrating bullet, I have a feeling it is a penetrating bullet. If it was an explosion, there would be damage in different places, but this is just an assumption or a guess.”

"LOOKING" AFTER YOU:
In Stores, Secret Surveillance Tracks Your Every Move As you shop, “beacons” are watching you, using hidden technology in your phone.
You considered buying yogurt on your last trip to the store, but you decided against it. How did your phone know?
Your smartphone was tracking you. The grocery store got your location data and paid a shadowy group of marketers to use that information to target you with ads. Recent reports have noted how companies use data gathered from cell towers, ambient Wi-Fi, and GPS. But the location data industry has a much more precise, and unobtrusive, tool: Bluetooth beacons.

A Down and Dirty White House
By Maureen Dowd
WASHINGTON — It is very disorienting when those who are supposed to be our highest moral exemplars have no morals — not even of the alley-cat variety.
In yet another Nureyev leap into the absurd, Donald Trump went from no-collusion to pro-collusion, as Susan Glasser put it in The New Yorker, saying that he would welcome foreign governments’ peddling dirt on his political rivals. Why bother to alert the F.B.I. if you are getting good oppo?
It’s tough to match Dick Cheney for putting yourself above the law.
When I covered Bush 41, Bush loyalists were looking overseas for dirt on Bill Clinton during the 1992 race. There were unfounded rumors that, while he was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, Clinton had written a letter about renouncing his citizenship to protest the Vietnam war.
As Michael Isikoff and Eugene Robinson wrote in The Washington Post in October 1992: “A senior State Department official this month ordered the U.S. Embassy in London to conduct an ‘extremely thorough’ search for files on Bill Clinton’s years as a graduate student in England, including any documents relating to the Democratic presidential candidate’s draft status and citizenship, according to department officials.” The instructions came at a time when Republicans were escalating their attacks on Clinton’s draft history.
Around the same time, the Britons went on their own fishing expedition for Clinton’s files. Betsey Wright, a former Clinton campaign official, told reporters that the campaign had received reports that Republicans had approached Tories for help in rifling through files to find damaging information on Clinton.
James Baker, Bush’s chief of staff, was so anguished about “that awful little passport pimple,” as the president called the scandal, that he offered to resign.
Such shame seems quaint in Trumpworld. The president is an unabashed gargoyle atop the White House, chomping on American values.
The way Trump publicly wallows in his mendaciousness and amorality is unique in presidential history. His motto might as well be: “I cannot not tell a lie.” His ego is too fragile to play patriarch to the country, so he takes the more ruinous role of provocateur.
There’s no vaccination against the vile machinations of Trump. But there are some signs, in this sickened capital, that antibodies are kicking in. The president and his top officials are getting taken to task by a range of government watchdogs.
Ellen Weintraub, the chair of the Federal Election Commission, tweeted on Thursday, “I would not have thought that I needed to say this,” as a preface to her stern statement: “It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election. This is not a novel concept.”
Even craven Republican lawmakers — at long last — were squirming over Trump’s contention to George Stephanopoulos that foreign interference in our election would be swell.
Also on Thursday, Special Counsel Henry Kerner recommended that “repeat offender” Kellyanne Conway be removed from her job
for violating the Hatch Act, also known as the Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities, which bars federal workers from tainting the workplace with politics.
Kerner said his move was unprecedented, but told The Post: “You know what else is unprecedented? Kellyanne Conway’s behavior. In interview after interview, she uses her official capacity to disparage announced candidates, which is not allowed.” The president, tireless champion of the First Amendment, said Conway was merely exercising her right to free speech.
The Onion chimed in with this headline: “Kellyanne Conway Decides to Lie Low Until Rule of Law Dies Down.”
Trump may have lost his knack for stiletto nicknames. “Sleepy Joe” and “Nervous Nancy” don’t cut it. (Pelosi looked anything but nervous in her “Kill Bill” yellow zippered motorcycle jacket.) And he may be nervous himself because of “devastating” internal polling showing him trailing Joe Biden in key states, as The Times’s Annie Karni and Maggie Haberman wrote. He denied the polls existed but later instructed his campaign to play up different data.
Trump doesn’t want to lose just when he seems to be getting more comfortable with all the power he wields.
He makes it so easy for everyone to focus on the tweets and the maniacal, moronic reality show that you have to struggle to look away and take the measure of what he’s doing.
And what he’s doing is altering domestic and foreign policy in terrible ways while running up huge deficits.
The Trump White House may be a clown show and a criminal enterprise. But it’s also an actual presidency.
It’s turning out to be a genuinely reactionary administration led by a wannabe authoritarian who refuses to recognize constitutional checks on power. The real danger is not the antics but the policies. If Trump isn’t careful, he’s going to add substance to hisadministration. And it won’t be the kind we want.

PENTAGON & INTELLIGENCE AFRAID TRUMP WILL WARN RUSSIA ABOUT OUR CYBER ATTACKS ON RUSSIAN POWER GRID
Pentagon and intelligence officials described broad hesitation to go into detail with Mr. Trump about operations against Russia for concern over his reaction — and the possibility that he might countermand it or discuss it with foreign officials, as he did in 2017 when he mentioned a sensitive operation in Syria to the Russian foreign minister.

Paul Manafort Seemed Headed to Rikers. Then the Justice Department Intervened.
The former Justice Department officials and current state prosecutors, who regularly handled the transfer of federal inmates to state custody, said they were surprised that the second-highest official in the Justice Department would take an interest in the case. The decision is usually made by the warden at the prison where the inmate is being held.
Justice Department officials were unable to say who made the decision in Mr. Manafort’s case; the Bureau of Prisons, which is part of the Justice Department, did not respond to a request for comment.
Paul J. Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign chairman who is serving a federal prison sentence, had been expected to be transferred to the notorious Rikers Island jail complex this month to await trial on a separate state case.

This was wanted public. 1. Because we want Russia to be aware we can fvck them anytime we wish (and they are probably already aware, but it's more fun to let the world know it too), and 2. To make this Administration look tough on Russia.
And there is an added benefit Trump gets to rip on the press again, which always makes the Trumpbillies froth at the mouth and jerk themselves into ecstasy.
How fvcking stupid are you? You think the rich alone can win an election? The 1% is called the 1% and not the 51% for a reason. The trick is getting others to vote for your gang. Since we know the blacks are not going to vote for the Republicans, they have to chase the hillbillies and peckerwoods. It's not like the rich actually does anything for them, and they've been actively fvcking the bumpkins for years (you think the poor or the blacks send the jobs to China?), but as long as Jesus/abortion/fags/Mexicans/Mooslims/Murica are great talking points they know where to sow the seeds.
Granted, the Dems are also in debt to the rich (maybe not some of these new crazy Dems, we have to figure them out still), but they offer double the crumbs.
WHY FALWELL ENDORESED CROOKED: a gay-friendly youth hostel; falwell sex photos & hush $$$ of course
That backstory, in true Trump-tabloid fashion, features the friendship between Mr. Falwell, his wife and a former pool attendant at the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach; the family’s investment in a gay-friendly youth hostel; purported sexually revealing photographs involving the Falwells; and an attempted hush-money arrangement engineered by the president’s former fixer, Michael Cohen.
In 2013, the Falwells completed the deal for the Miami Hostel, which rents beds for as little as $15 a night, bunking 12 people to a room. The hostel became known as one of South Beach’s best budget party hostels and is sometimes listed as gay-friendly.
The Falwells’ involvement came to light in a 2017 Politico article by Brandon Ambrosino, a Liberty graduate. He reported that the hostel featured a sign on its front gate declaring its house rules: “No Soliciting, Fundraising, Politics, Salesmen, Religion.”
“Inside the Falwells’ hostel, the stench of general decay and cigarette smoke is overpowering,” Mr. Ambrosino wrote. Tourism pamphlets included one for Tootsie’s Cabaret, “74,000 square feet of adult entertainment and FULL NUDITY.”

So the sources of this story are Tom Arnold and Michael Cohen? The Nytimes has become a gossip paper. I heard that Kim Jong Un hit 18 holes in one during his first golf outing.
