Happy Birthday Maxine Waters Thread

Thank you for everything Maxine. You are what a real patriot looks like.

And thank you for saying from the start that Trump used Russia to steal the Presidency
and for saying when the American people get to see what you have seen that Trump
will be gone ASAP.

Does Trump even know that the Apprentice was make believe?

Trump was a CEO of a make believe firm, nobody was really fired, and if a scene went
badly they stopped and reshot the scene. Good God in Butter I want to fucking scream.

TRUMP'S RUSSIA COVER-UP BY THE NUMBERS - 87+ CONTACTS WITH RUSSIA-LINKED OPERATIVES

Smoking guns by the truck load. Please bookmark and read when you get a chance.

December 18, 2016: Kellyanne Conway went on “Face the Nation,” and John Dickerson asked her, “Did anyone involved … in the Trump campaign have any contact with Russians trying to meddle with the election?” Conway responded, “Absolutely not. And I discussed that with the president-elect just last night. Those conversations never happened. I hear people saying it like it’s a fact on television. That is just not only inaccurate and false, but it’s dangerous.”

October 12, 2016: WikiLeaks contacted Trump Jr., urging him to ask his father to tweet WikiLeaks links (which he did). WikiLeaks contacted Trump Jr. several other times, although he stopped replying to the messages. WikiLeaks suggested to Trump Jr. that if Trump were to lose the election, Trump should not concede and instead should “[challenge] the media and other types of rigging that occurred.” These reciprocated contacts between Trump Jr. and WikiLeaks continued through the election and into summer 2017.

December, 2016: Kushner met with Gorkov. Kushner described the meeting as an official meeting in which he represented the Trump transition team, and CNN reported that a source characterized the meeting as an effort “to establish a back channel to Putin.” The Russian bank claimed that Kushner met with Gorkov in his capacity as “the head of his family’s real estate company.”

Members of the Trump team who had contacts with Russians during the campaign or transition include:

Michael Cohen
Roger Stone
Donald Trump Jr.
Jeff Sessions
Paul Manafort
J.D. Gordon
Jared Kushner
Carter Page
Michael Flynn
Erik Prince
George Papadopoulos
Anthony Scaramucci
Rick Gates

January 15, 2017: That same day, Pence also went on “Face the Nation,” where John Dickerson asked him, “Just to button up one question, did any advisor or anybody in the Trump campaign have any contact with the Russians who were trying to meddle in the election?” Pence replied, “Of course not. And I think to suggest that is to give credence to some of these bizarre rumors that have swirled around the candidacy.”
