Folks, this is kind of a big deal.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Not that we didn't know it, but to have it confirmed in a court of law and all.

Wow we are done with direct examination!

Prosecutor’s essentially end with Gates telling the world that Trump was told by Stone more Wikileaks info was coming.

1. More...

In other news, November is officially International Zelensky/Zelenskyy/Zelinsky Month.

Here’s how the the question went by Aaron Zelinsky, a former Mueller prosecutor:

After Mr Trump got off the phone with Mr Stone, what did Trump say?

Gates: “He indicated more information would be coming."

[FakeNoose]

2. Would that be Rick Gates - Manafort's partner who flipped?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. Yup. nt

[Leghorn21]

4. You betcha, Tommy

This Gates fellow was smack in the middle of all sorts of...interesting scenarios.

Mighty glad he saw the light and flipped his “on” switch, WHEW

[malaise]

5. To use his own words

His presidency is fucked.

Get thee to the greatest page RFN!

[SergeStorms]

24. His "pResidency".....

is as illegitimate as they come. Trump to prison, and the REAL president - Hillary Clinton - installed as the legitimate 45th President of the United States. NOW, PLEASE!

[malaise]

28. Jimmy Carter agrees

Jimmy Carter questions Trump’s legitimacy, says he was ‘put into office because the Russians interfered’

[C Moon]

33. Yes!

[Johnny2X2X]

6. Media not even covering this

We've gotten to a place in this country where the media barely even covers something as huge as this. Trump worked with a go between for Wikileaks to leak DNC emails, this is a crime.

[jberryhill]

20. The testimony ended shortly before 10:30 AM and you ask this at 10:48?

Seriously?

What sort of media coverage do you expect within 18 minutes?

Former top Trump official details campaign’s dealings on WikiLeaks, and suggests Trump was in the know

Gates testifies he was told by Paul Manafort that Trump would be updated on disclosure of hacked Democratic emails as government rests its case.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/12/politics/roger-stone-trial-rick-gates-testimony/index.html

(CNN)A top aide to Donald Trump's 2016 campaign revealed new details in court testimony Tuesday about Trump's reaction to dumps of information from WikiLeaks at key moments in the race.

Former deputy campaign chair Rick Gates testified that he was riding in a Chevy Suburban from LaGuardia Airport in New York in mid-2016 when Trump took a late-evening phone call from his longtime associate Roger Stone, where the pair apparently discussed WikiLeaks' planned release of hacked Democratic emails.

"After Mr. Trump got off the phone with Mr. Stone, what did Mr. Trump say?" prosecutor Aaron Zelinsky asked Gates. "He indicated more information would be coming," Gates responded, in testimony at Stone's criminal trial in Washington.

-------------------

You do understand that people need to write these things, yes?

What media do you believe is "not even covering this"?

[dewsgirl]

27. I have noticed, before our news media would cover stories

projected into the future, such as Muller report bombshells. Now it's all happening in realtime. Events occur and then the news cover said event. I know for fact, primetime will be all over this.

[spanone]

7. K&R...

[OliverQ]

8. So we can assume Barr shut down the Mueller investigation

because it's clear Mueller had ample evidence Trump was guilty.

[Botany]

13. "So we can assume Barr shut down the Mueller investigation"

Yes, that was his job.

[stopdiggin]

17. of what?

Trump's statement was he "didn't recall." Unless refuted that sort of covers him on the "lying/perjury" charge. The next step up would be, was there something inherently criminal (or guilty) in the call itself?

Understand, IMO the whole campaign was a cesspool of corruption and dirty dealing .. but Mueller reported what he reported (not what I wished) .. and Mueller additionally stated that he was not impeded or shut down. So, absent further evidence ... I'm not sure where your claim of shut down or ample evidence arises.

[uponit7771]

23. Wouldn't Trumps "recall" be left up to a jury!?

[stopdiggin]

25. if you can get it there

Are you referring to the Senate? Because otherwise you have that "sitting president" thing.

[ScratchCat]

9. Where the hell is the media?

The MOFOTUS perjured himself in his answers to Bob Mueller.

God damn it, he fucking lied and that is a mother fucking crime! People went to prison for lying.

[neohippie]

18. There's no proof of perjury

His responses were about having no recollection that is not the same thing as proving perjury.

How is anyone going to prove what was remembered by whom?

[C Moon]

34. :D I hadn't heard that one yet: MOFOTUS

[2naSalit]

10. K&R

[Pepsidog]

11. Unfortunately, information overload for most of the population. Shame.

[BigBearJohn]

12. Forward this to Rachel Maddow

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. As if Maddow is not following the Stone trial. :eyes: . . . nt

[grantcart]

14. He will be found guilty, given a long sentence and pardoned the next day

[calimary]

15. I hope he's found guilty!

[docgee]

16. Without a stained dress, it's just MF45's word vs Gates' word.

[KPN]

19. Eye witness testimony is considered direct evidence. It is considered proof -- in which case the

other side must present "superior" proof? But that's all moot for impeachment since the Senate is the judge and jury and we know where the GOP is on this. So yeah, without "a stained dress", impeachment isn't going to happen.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. You mistake impeachment for conviction. Impeachment in House WILL HAPPEN, conviction in Senate less

Conviction in the Senate is much less likely, as things stand now.

[ancianita]

29. With the evidence now, any failure to convict is more like Senate Obstruction of Justice. Given

all this evidence, he can still be indicted and tried in a proper court later.

His SOLE trick left is to win 2020.

[KPN]

30. Thank you for that correction. You are right.

There will be articles of impeachment brought to the Senate. And there is great value in that in terms of public opinion, the resultant vote in 2020, and legacy — absolutely. ... I am just enormously frustrated by a self/serving rigged jury — the GOP controlled Senate. They are all traitors to the Constitution and democracy in my book.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. Yup. I can agree with all four sentences in your post. . . . nt

[guillaumeb]

26. But in the alternate reality world, where Trump voters live, this is fake news.

And FOX is considered real news.

[Mersky]

32. Am sharing this around. K&R! nt

[calimary]

35. Love it!

I want that fuck, Roger Stone, put AWAY!!!!!
