asiliveandbreathe's JournalPaul Manafort Evidence of Collusion? - at Just Security - A fine
list of FACTS connecting Manafort - T rump - Rushkies - updates included from 6/16/2018
The following facts essentially speak for themselves. Simply put, any fair reading of the public record would surely come to the conclusion that there is significant evidence of collusionor, to put it more precisely, evidence of a conspiracy with Russians and violations of federal campaign finance law.
The first sample of fact....
In the end, let's hope Mueller can prove collusion...as the article mentions...

Where is this meeting being held tomorrow - At the WH???
I am a skeptic - I am not a conspiracy nut, trust, but verify kinda gal..so, if this meeting with the FBI and republiklans is taking place in the WH, with COS Kelly - who is to say the room will be secured?
If at the WH, why not hold the meeting at the FBI? Been buggin' me..no pun intended...
It is a figure of speech - "Toast" - a metaphor..no one is suggesting he should be
disbarred...considering the time, effort, and considerable amount of money it takes to actually get to the bar exam..if I were his mother or father I would wash his mouth out with soap...
Me thinks he has shot himself in the foot , metaphorically speaking, of course...what FIRM would hire him now..let alone a client walking into his store - Trump, maybe or his ilk...
oh, that's right, the building where he rents an office - they want nothing to do with him...just one question to this miscreant, "have you no decency"
I often ask, is it nature, or nurture....
The young fellow in the video demonstrated more civility than this jerk..
Be well, Jim Lane, congrats on passing the bar..and not evah having a complaint registered against you..
That Russia-Trump Thing..Shugerblog, Masterful Timeline w/links
Weeks after the election, Flynn and Kushner are in contact with Russian officials. Then Russia sells a 19.5% stake in Rosneft in a concealed deal, eventually revealed to be with Qatar. Immediately after the deal, a Qatari diplomat allegedly met with Cohen and Flynn at Trump Tower.
Jed Shugerman - at shugerblog.com - was on with Rachel tonight..and just blew me away with his investigative reporting on this Russia/trump thingy..he also writes for Slate...Professor at Fordham and a true American Patriot..if you have any questions about this subject, I implore you to read his blog..

What is an OLC opinion vs a Judiciary Opinion
Chris should have had this RWNJ debate others who understand that the OLC opinion is
an Executive opinion..NOT a judiciary opinion....I bet the RWNJ would not have appeared if that was the format...like invite Bob Bauer WH counsel for our President Obama..here is just a how he sizes up the Nixon Long Shadow and the judiciary...
https://www.justsecurity.org/55655/nixons-long-shadow-donald-trumps-emerging-constitutional-defense-investigation-and-indictment/
I had to read the legal analysis several times to understand what Bob Bauer was getting at...thus the excerpt - have at it...
Be well all, we will get through this...
This is the conclusion of the article
Or, as appears increasingly possible, Mr. Trump and his lawyers can turn for inspiration to the Nixon presidency and the Watergate era and make his case for the presidents immunity from criminal investigation and prosecution. There is little reason to believe that the results will be any different 44 years later.
Kasey Hunt is so wrong for this most important debate -
I just want the excellent guests not be interrupted and finish their thought..this is no laughing matter - she is just not in the league of these of these fine legal minds...IMHO
BS is right...remove assault weapons from the public domain - they are trying
to shut us up..throw us a bone...register ALL weapons purchased...with that registry, limit the number of weapons one person can purchase..this goes along with the ammunition..unable to build a cache of ammo or weapons....As we register our autos, so be it with gun registration..every two years..
What the FL legislature did to those teens yesterday is deplorable..."you can't have porn, but you can have weapons of mass destruction"...who the hell do they think they are...every one of them needs to be voted out - the students emotions are raw - they were there, they heard the shots fired, they saw the carnage, they saw their friends bleeding to death...and died..
Have we come this far, just to have come this far? - We have to have hope, this is the time..time for change - the students of today, are the future...I'm with them!!!!
The Charging Mystery in the Russian Indictments....a great read....
Great analysis by Bob Bauer - WH counsel for President Obama - gives his opinion on what comes next..in the Mueller Investigation - charges may have been different, if not for the agency's (FEC) decline...
...snip....
Mueller and his team may have concluded that straight statutory campaign finance allegations rest on too much untested ground and would complicate what may well be the next phase of their investigation.
The Mueller indictment is conceivably one way to solve this problem. It alleges a conspiracy to prevent the FEC from taking up and addressing the regulatory issues, and American co-conspirators may be brought in on any overt act in furtherance of this illegal scheme. Any U.S. citizen who intentionally supported the Russian electoral intervention could be liable.

I commented last evening and it was suggested this was almost missed, and should have it's own OP - I'm sure that top notch legal teams are slicing and dicing the information - which makes me think more is coming....
How Scared Should Trump Be - if history is any guide -
An article from Vanity Fair Dec 2017...how Mueller operates from the "bottom up" is his MO...and don't think for a moment trump doesn't know this story...
Remember when he said "where is my Roy Cohn" - when sessions recused..well, Roy Cohn represented Gotti...then -
Mueller got Gotti..and from article...as one person in the administration observed "a classic Gambino style roll-up"
