"Russia interfered with the election"
Is this still the uncaught big fish?

No. That fish is caught. It has been proven that Russia did that.

Did Trump Admin collude to assist? Likely.

Trump and so many others in the administration have lied that they didn't have contact with Russia.

Why? Why lie about it?

The Logan Act says that there will be a "fine and/or imprisonment of unauthorized citizens who negotiate with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States."

That applies here. What on Earth would Trump and his cronies be negotiating with Russia? Well, removing sanctions imposed by Obama. Do they do that for nothing in return? Of course not! They do it for help in propping up Trump and putting out fake news to rip on Hillary.

Don't stay in your denial hut any longer, brother. Yes there are crooked and creepy Democrats, but you need to recognize that Trump's cronies have engaged in illegal behavior, and that Trump likely has too. His actions are a clear and present danger to the US.

Trump is done.

Breitbart is on it

http://www.breitbart.com/video/2017/12/01/report-flynn-ready-to-testify-against-trump-testify-trump-ordered-him-to-contact-russians/

He has promised full cooperation to the Mueller team. He’s prepared to testify, we are told by a confidante, against President Trump, against members of the Trump family, and others in the White House. He is prepared to testify that President Trump, as a candidate…ordered him and directed him to make contact with the Russians, which contradicts all that Donald Trump has said at this point.”

re: Flagpole

FP and LL, if Kushner was ordered to establish communication with Russia after the election, how does that not discredit the Trump/Russia election collusion narrative?

Where is the evidence of this collusion, if there was no contact before the election?

But, the contact was made on December 29, 2016... DJT was no longer a candidate.

There was contact before the election, and then unauthorized contact after the election while Obama was still president...a violation of the Logan Act.

Really?? And who is going to remove him from office? Maybe a few Republicans will be open to it once they accomplish their life-long goal of shoving as much wealth upwards as they possibly can, but all available evidence suggests that they just won't give a sh*t no matter what terrible details emerge from Mueller's investigation. They are just as morally/intellectually bankrupt as this administration, if not more so. (At least Trump has an excuse! McConnell and Ryan aren't suffering from a degenerative brain disease.) Don't forget, McConnell knew about Russian interference before the election and threatened to attack Obama as a partisan if he went public.

Did anyone say there was no contact before the election?

This is evidence of wrongdoing after the election and before the inauguration.

It doesn't mean there wasn't wrongdoing before the election well.

The Manfort connection may show the collusion before the election.

Manafort hasn't plead guilty (yet).

We have been told up this point by Trump that he was not part of the Russian meeting with Flynn.

We know this is a lie now.

Is it possible that Trump told other lies?

It happened in December after the election but before Trump took office.

You are very mistaken here. The information to still come out will be bad enough that even bad Republicans will have to do it (and they aren't all bad)...there is no way they want to go up against Democrats while Trump is still in office for the 2018 mid term elections. They will do it to save themselves. There is no loyalty to Trump. Most of them are hoping it is so cut and dried that they finally have a reason to get rid of him.

The Logan Act has been broken.

Trump is done.

re: Flagpole

Nevertheless, as I explained in connection with George Papadopoulos (who also pled guilty in Mueller’s investigation for lying to the FBI), when a prosecutor has a cooperator who was an accomplice in a major criminal scheme, the cooperator is made to plead guilty to the scheme. This is critical because it proves the existence of the scheme. In his guilty-plea allocution (the part of a plea proceeding in which the defendant admits what he did that makes him guilty), the accomplice explains the scheme and the actions taken by himself and his co-conspirators to carry it out. This goes a long way toward proving the case against all of the subjects of the investigation.
That is not happening in Flynn’s situation. Instead, like Papadopoulos, he is being permitted to plead guilty to a mere process crime. A breaking report from ABC News indicates that Flynn is prepared to testify that Trump directed him to make contact with the Russians — initially to lay the groundwork for mutual efforts against ISIS in Syria. That, however, is exactly the sort of thing the incoming national-security adviser is supposed to do in a transition phase between administrations. If it were part of the basis for a “collusion” case arising out of Russia’s election meddling, then Flynn would not be pleading guilty to a process crime — he’d be pleading guilty to an espionage conspiracy.
Understand: If Flynn’s conversations with the Russian ambassador had evinced the existence of a quid pro quo collusion arrangement — that the Trump administration would ease or eliminate sanctions on Russia as a payback for Russia’s cyber-espionage against the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic party — it would have been completely appropriate, even urgently necessary, for the Obama Justice Department to investigate Flynn. But if that had happened, Mueller would not be permitting Flynn to settle the case with a single count of lying to FBI agents. Instead, we would be looking at a major conspiracy indictment, and Flynn would be made to plead to far more serious offenses if he wanted a deal — cooperation in exchange for sentencing leniency.
To the contrary, for all the furor, we have a small-potatoes plea in Flynn’s case — just as we did in Papadopoulos’s case, despite extensive “collusion” evidence. Meanwhile, the only major case Mueller has brought, against former Trump-campaign chairman Paul Manafort and an associate, has nothing to do with the 2016 election. It is becoming increasingly palpable that, whatever “collusion” means, there was no actionable, conspiratorial complicity by the Trump campaign in the Kremlin’s machinations.

re: Flagpole

Flagpole was man enough come back after his bad prediction (yes, when its shown that Trump cheated, you will be fully exonerated and you can throw off the shackles of your past faulty prediction ).

Will "itsbaddude" and"rigged for hillary" and all the others who dismissed and laughed at the "fake news" of the Russian connection come back and admit they were wrong? I don't think so.

Already I noticed absence of their posts.

Once again, the LRC lib echo chamber has reached the heights of irrational exhuberance. The only crime here is lying to the FBI by someone who lied to VP Pence and then got fired for it.

(On a side note, the lib mods banned m-a-g-a)

"Trump is Putin's puppet!" "Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the election!"

This has been the MSM and liberal-minion claim for a year.

This has turned out to be BS... as we always knew.
