No.
Is meeting foreign agents in order to get stolen information to help sway an election a crime?
Blacklabel
Is paying a foreign agent to create a fake dossier against a political opponent a crime?
Blacklabel
The problem you have is you don’t have any proof of payment and there is no product given. But for Dems there is proof and agreement that the payment was made as well as a product used to start surveillance on US citizens. Kinda different
Silvafan
Is that what you believe the GOPs plan was when the order the dossier? They ordered the dossier. The same dossier that has not been proven false on the most important points against Dump.
Does your previous military experience and connections give you inside information that Mueller doesn't have?
If so, why don't you just spill the beans and blow Mueller's case out of the water. I am pretty sure Dump will give you the highest award in US like he did to one of his donor's wife! :)
Pukey2
I bet he also said he looked like Elvis. Oh wait, he really did!
SimondB
If Trump says he wasn't aware of the meeting then, there you go. I mean it's not like he would lie about it is it? Being president and all. Honesty and integrity and what have you.
lincolnman
"Almost all..." - in Trump-speak that means "none"...
Indictments....
Perjury....
The noose continues to tighten...and the panic gets worse....
SuperLib
Well, hat's off to Trump! He only lied to us a little.
By the way, which answers were inconsistent?
Blacklabel
Maybe it’s almost all because some things he wasn’t asked about publicly? Liberals and your word twisting and false hope.
do you seriously believe Trump would have been allowed to be President for almost 2 years if they had any evidence of anything?
SuperLib
That's not how investigations work.
And by the way, isn't that your position with Rosenstein? That he is the leader of a corrupt conspiracy but "no need to fire him?" It would seem you believe that it's perfectly reasonable to let a corrupt ringleader keep on working as if nothing's happened.
Jimizo
Have you noticed how even Trump supporters are doubting the integrity of Trump?
Good position to take.
I’ll wager we’ll be reading ‘It’s not a capital offence’ on this forum quite soon.
Laguna
Ha ha! "Almost"! As linclonmanman said above, Mueller seems to be collecting and connecting the dots, and they're ascending rapidly. A new name arose just today: Ted Malloch, apparently a go-between between Assange and Manafort - and then, perhaps, on to Trump.
Serrano
Has Mueller found any collusion yet?
bass4funk
Why? Because liberals are worried that this witch hunt won’t bear fruit anything else but a few measly indictments?
Can’t wait to see the look on the liberal faces once Trump pardons these people.
But you’re ok with the litany of lies from the Democrats???
mukashiyokatta
This will all come out during the IMPEACHMENT proceedings! Big ratings assured!
lincolnman
Yep, I'd put my money on it...but why don't you ask him if you're so curious?
Once again, no matter how many times you say "few or nothing", there have been 37 individuals and/or Russia organizations that have been indicted or are cooperating with the Special Counsel - and that's just what has been released. A few measly indictments has included five senior members of the Trump campaign and his personal lawyer - and Jared, Don Jr, and Roger Stone are next in the barrel....oh my..
Libs/Cons...some people can only live in a black and white world - this has nothing to do with what side of the political isle you sit on, this is about whether you want a foreign government to interfere with our election and a candidate that colluded with that foreign power. It's American versus Russian.... Who's side are you on? Wait, I already know....
When "what about" is the only thing you can say...
bass4funk
And no matter how many times you reiterate that point, if the President gets indicted, it won’t make a difference, he won’t be removed from office, but hey, I want the Dems to look more and more like the unstable idiots that they put back in office.
Now I know you just didn’t say that! Lol
Sorry, it shouldn’t your right, but it does have politics written all over this, the liberal media hate this President and they would never be fair to him, never!
Better, who’s side are you on....I don’t think it’s the US.
Ahhh, because liberals as usual have No answers...thought so.
Strangerland
I'm curious how you'll feel about the faces of Conservatives who live in reality and won't be ok with a leader who is a criminal. Remember, they're on your team, not ours. Are you ok with hatred from the moral half of your team?
lincolnman
The post wasn't about the President - it was about you saying Mueller - see below;
Few doesn't equal 37 and counting...except in Trump fantasy-land...
I guess that's another dodge because I have no idea what that means....
Spoken like a true believer...I trust you when you say you love this President...just like Kim Jong Un...
I wore our nation's uniform for 28 years.
1 Dem and 3 Libs in this post - the world is so much easier when you simplify it.
As you can see, the panic is setting in deep.....
bass4funk
But he won’t be removed and as long as that doesn’t happen, the Dems will look like they were on the grandest of witch hunts.
Jimizo
Ayone backing against you predictions about politics would have won a lot of money.
On balance, I don’t think he’ll be removed but I did bet on him not completing a full term as the odds were so attractive. You have given me hope.
Go Mueller!
Serrano
"Yep, I'd put my money on it"
Then how come after 2 years he ain't shown us anything yet?
"Go Mueller!"
When this is all done, he's going to Gitmo along with some other Deep State traitors.
Ah_so
This has the upside of allowing the greatest freak show on earth to continue for our entertainment.
lincolnman
Again, clue us in on what all Mueller has since you've obviously been attending all his meetings....
That's sick - when this is all done Mueller will be shown the true American patriot that he is - decorated Vietnam Vet and FBI Director that put away John Gotti - and a hero for identifying all the Russian operatives riddled in the Trump campaign and all their conspirators. They won't go to GITMO, that's for unlawful combatants, they'll go to San Quentin and Leavenworth, also know as Mara-a-Lockup and Trump Tower West...
gcbel
You’ve said before that Mueller is corrupt. Are you now saying Mueller is a traitor?
You had zero evidence of the former. What evidence do you have the latter? Or are you just slandering?
It better be good because there certainly more evidence of treasonous conduct by the orange dolt than by the bronze star recipient.
Jimizo
Perhaps he is being professional and methodical.
Not everyone can run with unproven trash ripped from the National Enquirer or Fox.
There are still serious people around and this is a good thing.
lincolnman
Trump University law school grad...
I don't know about Trunp, but all patriotic Americans know Trump did it...
You don't need to ask what you can already prove...
The noose gets tighter, the excuses get more desperate, and the panic in Trump-world gets deeper...
bass4funk
Counting for what?I guess that's another dodge because I have no idea what that means....
You dodged? Why?
Yup and proud of it.
And I’ve been working in the media for almost as long, what’s your point?
.
You're right, if Mueller can’t find something on Trump, liberals heads will explode, chaos will ensue and Armageddon will be upon us. Lol
lincolnman
Notice how you just go in circles with Trumpsters? Doing nothing about it - with 37 indictments and more coming...
And here's the whole disgusting, swarmy, story - lies, deceptions, and more lies...Mueller is going to nail them all as they dime out each other to avoid an orange jumpsuit...even Saul Goodman couldn't save them...
Donald Trump Jr. made several misleading statements about the meeting. He initially told the press that the meeting was held to discuss adoptions of Russian children by Americans. On July 8, 2017, after news reports stated that Trump Jr. knew the meeting was political, he admitted in a tweet that he had agreed to the meeting with the understanding that he would receive information damaging to Hillary Clinton, and that he was conducting opposition research. When the New York Times was about to report on email exchanges between Goldstone and Trump Jr., Trump Jr. himself admitted that Goldstone had stated in an email to him that the Russian government was involved and that the purpose of the meeting was to get "dirt on Clinton" and that the meeting concerned a "Russian effort to aid the (Trump) campaign." In early July 2017, it was reported that President Donald Trump himself drafted Trump Jr.'s initial misleading statement. The report was later confirmed by the president's attorneys.
lincolnman
37 indictments or guilty pleas - tell us how that equals "won’t bear fruit anything else but a few measly indictments?"
You know a Trumpster is out of arguments when they just repeat your post back to you...
Loves Trump just like NKoreans love Kim Jong Un and proud of it... Wear a Trump badge over your heart 24 hours a day? Have a picture of Trump that you bow to in each room?
Given you've insulted out military intelligence professionals and military heroes like McCain and Mueller, that's something you'll never get... Ask Jane Fonda - you have quite a bit in common with her....
bass4funk
Well, Manafort is no longer a reliable witness, Corsi says he won’t be bullied by Mueller to make up something just to hang the President and pacify a desperate Mueller. Options are not on Mueller’s side. Sure he can write his report and the Dems can do the exact stupid thing like the Republicans did (which by God, I hope) and really screw themselves or take a chance, hold boring hearings and that’ll be the end of it.
You know liberais are out of arguments when they can’t back up their baseless accusations
You guys loved the other guy, so it’s all good, some even loved the pantsuit lady. Each to his own.
These are men, not “gods” and not above criticism.
No, I’m not a liberal or a Marxist.
lincolnman
Keep repeating it - we know it helps you sleep better at night...
Like and respected - not the God-like adoration Trumpers and NKoreans cultists show. And you didn't answer my question on the badge and pictures...
We understand, you don't like or respect our military....
I don't now about liberal or Marxist, but your posts clearly show you hate our military - just like Jane...
bass4funk
Back at you guys.
Exactly!
I do and I come from a large military family, I love our military, but that doesn’t mean they are above criticism, if someone told you that, they mislead you.
SuperLib
Trump is getting more and more frustrated. It's a pleasure to watch.
bass4funk
Really? He seems to me like his usual typical brooding, deep in thoughts guy we all know.
Strangerland
I agree. It's quite enjoyable watching him fall apart as the walls close in on him.
SuperLib
I'm hoping that the Stone and Corsi indictments will rattle him even more. :)
It's strange to have a president where we're trying to count the number of his people who end up in prison. Is there an over/under for it? Shall we take bets? heh
bass4funk
I doubt it as he said to much of the lefts horror, he could pardon Manafort and others. Sweet.
....that will probably be pardoned by Trump
I’ll send you my PayPal account
SuperLib
What do you think of Stone and Corsi? And do you think Don Jr. and Kushner will be indicted?
bass4funk
I think Mueller is doing his best to flip them and to get them to say anything to get Trump
I don’t know and I really don’t care.
Based on the physical evidence, yes.
I don’t have a liberal dictionary, just a regular one. I think she is most definitely a criminal, BUT having said that, she will never be President, don’t care about her being locked up, but having her sit in thr WH, now that would be an insult to the nation and thankfully we dodged that bullet.
Strangerland
Well it's a good thing that witnesses are not used when there are no facts to back up their statements then, isn't it.
SuperLib
Do you think they will flip? Most of Trump's people seem to flip.
bass4funk
Thank God for Presidential pardons.
Really? Now that would be the majority of liberals, truth be told.
I doubt it and even so, why get worked up about it? As I said, he gets indicted, we have hearings, it’ll be just like 1998 the entire thing will blow over, he’ll be intacted, get a second term be stronger than ever and the Dems will look like the idiots, deja vu all over again.
SuperLib
I think Stone will flip. Should be fun.
My guess is that if Trump is indicted he won't win a second term. Sure, he will always have his 30%, but not enough to win.
bass4funk
I don’t think so, I really don’t. As he said, he can’t give Mueller what he hasn’t got and he won’t make stuff up to give him something. But if Mueller wants to desperately try and find something, it’s fun to see and know that Trump has his pen and the power to pardon, Trump is grinning ear to ear. Lol
My guess is, he’ll be like Clinton and get a second term and now that more and more Blacks are waking up and finally leaving the Democrat party, that’s a real good sign, add to that the economy, fracking, small and private business growth, just hold the line.
SuperLib
The only people saying that are the accused or fans of the accused. I've seen no direct evidence of it so there's no reason for me to think it's credible.
Madverts
That old queen will probably be right at home in the booty house.
Trump Republicans and their weirdo swamp hero's....
Wolfpack
When Trump skates away from Mueller and his cohort of Democrat party prosecutors the Left is going to be very angry. Probably as angry as the Right still is today about Hillary getting away with FBI confirmed mishandling of classified government documents on an unauthorized privately run email system.
wtfjapan
But if Mueller wants to desperately try and find something
well he found out Cohen was lying and that he was discussing with Trump about the Russia Trump tower well into his POTUS campaign, something they both denied. The onion is slowly unraveling
wtfjapan
If Trump were a criminal, he would be tried and convicted and in prison.
very difficult to do while hes POTUS, when hes out of office well thats an entirely different story, Id even predict Trump will spend most of his retirement with an avalanche of litigation
gcbel
Mueller gets him, Mueller doesn’t, Trump colluded or he didn’t we’ll see. It it doesn’t matter really. This won’t end well for the orange egomaniac. Inevitably and miserably. I almost feel sorry for him already.
gcbel
And I’m all broken up about what you have a problem with... read not in the least.
Anyway, his failure isn’t being orange (Spray-tanned imbecile) it is the content of his character - narcissist, pathological liar, sociopath.
bass4funk
Some, but for the rest of his life, I doubt it. The great thing about being extremely wealthy is, you can buy the best lawyers on the planet to make sure that doesn’t happen and you can take on a bunch of these frivolous potential lawsuits.
SuperLib
Trump fights lawsuits? He seems content to pay settlements for things he claimed never happened
Strangerland
No Cohen is suddenly working with the Mueller investigation (which he hasn't done until now, due to his issues being at the state level with the NY state government). And the information he has apparently provided them has to do with Trump building a Trump Tower in Moscow.
Now, if Mueller isn't looking at the Trump-Russia connection, why would Cohen's information on Trump Tower Moscow matter? I think it's pretty safe to infer that Mueller's investigation is still looking deeply at the Trump-Russia connection.
And for those who keep asking how long it takes? Well seeing as they have just in the past week had two progress reports, with Manafort lying, and Cohen coming on board, it's very apparent that it takes at least this long. Longer if/when you have people like Manafort working against the investigation. So quit your whining children. This is going through whether you like it or not.
gcbel
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how this ends for Trump. Many examples in history of it turning sour for the extremely wealthy and no amount of wellpaid lawyering to save ‘em. But you keep on being supremely confident that Trump will live happily ever after.
arrestpaul
Neither Mueller, or the other Democrats, could find "collusion" if they had a dictionary.
