You are too late. Somebody else peddled this lie a few pages ago. The $4700 was just the ones they verified came from a Russian agent.
You left out the other Russian ad buys on Google that were suspected to be tied to the Russian government. Those were over $50,000.
The big ad buys went to Facebook where the Russians spent over a million dollars a month.
But the real question is, why are you defending Russia?

Do you realize Nixon had a Republican-controlled Senate? How did that turn out in the end? The evidence of Trump's wrongdoings are becoming more and more evident and Mueller is just getting starting with the serious charges. At some point, Republicans, at least enough of them, will have no choice and impeachment will be on the table. Or Trump will resign. 2019 is going to be a bumpy, rocky ride, but I'm confident Trump will not complete his first term. The wheels of justice are gaining steam and will be unstoppable. Every day there seems to be something new and significant in the media. Not really new if you've been paying attention though. As it was reported in the last day or so, Mueller's investigation is global. This will end up as the biggest criminal investigation in history.
The GOP was a real political party back in Nixon's day. Plenty of flaws and certainly one could disagree with their platform at the time - but the concepts like truth, decency, patriotism were not wholly absent from the party. We're in a whole different world now.
But our party was flawed to the max with Hillary the thief! Hell, we all paid for her daughter's wedding and don't even get me started on the poor people of Haiti. That's probably why we lost, she was the real criminal, along with Slick Willy Bill.

Are they saying that resignation would be part of a deal?
You could probably challenge the Constitutionality of forcing a president to step down as part of a deal.
That's why I'm wondering who these lawyers are and if Flagpole got his story straight.
I'm not a constitutional scholar or even a lawyer, but I don't see how such a deal could ever be constitutional. Since I am not an expert, it would be really interesting to understand the legal mechanism if one exists.

Oh no, not Facebook ads!!!!!! Only a goofball like you would be influenced by an ad on Facebook regardless of where it came from. Please, post a video that the Russians paid for to influence the election. Gosh you guys are so ignorant.

Fat Hurts, all you EV nonsense has actually led me to a rather attractive investment opportunity in the form of platinum and palladium ETFs. You will receive no commission for this finding but I will congratulate you in 1 year's time if I end positive on the shares.
Interesting. Let me know how it turns out.
I've been considering mining stocks myself but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I like the idea that you get growth from the new energy economy and also get a hedge against recession.

The Russians used stolen Facebook data to do social engineering on specific vulnerable voters. Maybe you are just way too smart to fall for it. But remember, half of all Americans have below average intelligence.
They wouldn't have spent the millions of dollars and gone to all the trouble if it had no chance of working.
Is this the beginning of the end?
Flynn gave up a lot. Mueller wouldn’t have recommended such a light punishment for him if he had not. Look at what happened to Cohen—he got 3 years because he wouldn’t give up everything. So Flynn has likely given Mueller the knock out blow.
In addition to unauthorized and illegal meetings with the Russians, Flynn also illegally met with the Saudis and Israelis. I think this is going to go towards conspiracy with Foreign Nations (Saudi Arabia and Israel....not Russia) and Trump is going down bigly.
Tapes—video and audio—coming soon.

I seriously doubt it--I don't think anything will move forward for at least a month or so, with the holidays coming. I could be wrong, of course, but think we may be entering a lull for a fortnight or two.

And with that: I (and my various pseudonyms) will be taking a break from this thread. Might lurk (and might not), but won't post. Think of it as my holiday gift to you all.
Best wishes for the season, and a great 2019 for everybody! See you next year, maybe.
A former employee of “The Apprentice” alleged Thursday that “The Donald” was a “speed freak” behind the scenes. Former contestant Tom Arnold confirmed it.
This guy worked on Celebrity Apprentice for 6 years. He did the after parties & was Jared & Ivanka’s handler. Donald Trump abused Adderall on the set & it made him crazy. He even snorted Adderall. Mark Burnett knew it. It’s scary watch tape:

He is in big big trouble.
Disagree
He won’t cave, he will fight. Plus, it doesn’t matter what is in the report; his approval rating/support will not be hurt by this whatsoever. This is a liberal thing to try and make an excuse for why they lost the election.
My advice:
1. Prepare a rebuttal for this garbage report.
2. Let the process drag. Impeachment will get shutdown by the senate.
3. Win the 2020 election unless you go up against Biden. No one else has a chance.
4. If Democrats get a hold of the senate, they will go for impeachment. At least Republicans control the Executive Branch and Supreme Court.
Dude. At least change your posting style a little. Consecutive posts written by two of fearful Lyin' Gary under different handles.
Don’t ya mean black rifles matter?

Darkness? DARKNESS?!? Them's fighting words, fella! I'm as white as my momma's behind!
While that was mildly entertaining (though it makes me bristle a little), I hope you can use the intelligence you must have to even be mildly entertaining to focus on seeing the light, not just on seeing what you want to see. Trump really is a grifter, a serial liar, and a bad bad person, and he really is going to pay the price for his crimes. I'm not sure yet why you still defend him so. Perhaps someone you love and respect feels strongly about supporting Trump. You can still love and respect them and yet acknowledge that they are wrong in this case.
Mueller is coming. He REALLY is.
The clown is done.
Wow. Thanks for posting, bother. I wonder what the lead story is on foxnews.com right now.....
Oh, yeah that’s highly relevant........,
LOOK! SQUIRREL!!!!

Who are these lawyers?
Are they saying that resignation would be part of a deal?
I have mentioned it a couple times already, but Richard Painter and Neal Katyal have both said that Trump and his lawyers should consider making a plea deal involving resigning.
Katyal - "Trump may therefore conclude, as Spiro Agnew did before him, he has 1 card left to play: resign and plea to avoid jail time. "
Richard Painter - "Donald Trump is in serious trouble. His lawyers ought to be telling him to negotiate a plea deal,” Painter said. “Get him out of the White House. Have him resign, plead guilty to lower charges and let’s move on as a country.”

BOOM! Tiny is seriously f*cked. Flynn has the goods (audio and video of Trump actively conspiring with foreign nationals to defraud the American people). Now comes the drip, drip, drip of info about Flynn and Trumps meetings and conversations with the Saudis and Israelis about rugging the 2016 election in exchange for Trump org. fininacial gain.
They’ll wait for Trump to publialy deny all of it and then release the tapes.
Result. Lame duck Pence will get primaried by a non-insane Republican in 2020. Once that’s done it doesn’t really matter who wins—anyone will be better than the Cheeto Jesus. Our long national nightmare will be over.
