Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

I suppose more to come:

“In Thursday remarks on the Senate Floor, Grassley blasted the media after months of covering for the Bidens.

"For over a year, Senator Johnson and I investigated the Biden financial family dealings," said Grassley, adding "We found that they engaged in potential criminal financial deals across the globe, including China, which created counterintelligence concerns."

Grassley then turned his attention to the MSM, saying "Those same liberal outlets that disparaged our investigation now report that Hunter Biden's financial deals in China raise counterintelligence concerns."

He went on to say that the media should have been covering concerns raised by Republicans instead of covering them up.

"So you can understand why I think it's very outrageous that the fourth estate would choose to ignore facts when they are uncovered by Republicans," Grassley continued. "It shouldn't take subpoenas and confirmation from Hunter Biden himself to get the rest of the press to pay attention."

Only the beginning, or rather the beginning of the end (Joe):

NYT:

WASHINGTON — A sprawling report released Tuesday by a Republican-controlled Senate panel that spent three years investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 election laid out an extensive web of contacts between Trump campaign advisers and Kremlin officials and other Russians, including at least one intelligence officer and others tied to the country’s spy services.

The report by the Senate Intelligence Committee, totaling nearly 1,000 pages, drew to a close one of the highest-profile congressional investigations in recent memory and could be the last word from an official government inquiry about the expansive Russian campaign to sabotage the 2016 election.

It provided a bipartisan Senate imprimatur for an extraordinary set of facts: The Russian government disrupted an American election to help Mr. Trump become president, Russian intelligence services viewed members of the Trump campaign as easily manipulated, and some of Mr. Trump’s advisers were eager for the help from an American adversary.

Yesssssssss Ghost is back to entertain us.

But but but Hunters lap top ???

That one worked out really well for you.

ENJOY YOUR LOSS ???

And don’t forget the Democratic and Hillary’s Steele https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/clinton-campaign-dnc-paid-for-research-that-led-to-russia-dossier/2017/10/24/226fabf0-b8e4-11e7-a908-a3470754bbb9_story.html

Your guy is a bigger scum bag than Trump. And guess what? It didn’t take a Special Counsel and $10s of Millions of tax payers dollars to expose it.

ENJOY FOUR YEARS OF TWISTING IN THE WIND. ????‍♂️

Major League Bullsh*t. "...laid out an extensive web of contacts between Trump campaign advisers and Kremlin officials and other Russians, including at least one intelligence officer." Agip - WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND when Robert mueller et. al definitively said NO COLLUSION NO CONSPIRACY??? IS THAT TOO HARD FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND? I am outrageously stupid yet I understand it. Sheesh.

The investigation disclosed Wednesday night wasn't the matter allegedly suppressed by the media. I suspect you know that, and the GOP politicians claiming that it is the same matter know that, but lying in service of the fat orange man apparently is no vice.

And wake me when those peace deals affect most of us Americans. Especially as compared to Trump's poor response to the pandemic and decision to decline to buy more of the Pfizer vaccine this summer when given the chance, thus delaying vaccination for many of us. The Trump family has been grifting the US taxpayers for his entire term.

And note that CDC head Redfield told staff to delete emails showing the White House was meddling in the COVID response. That cover up affecting the health of Americans seems to be more important than Morocco's relations with Israel.

The sustained denial of reality by the outgoing President, that he lost the election and by a landslide, suggests the men in white coats must be due any time soon. Trump is proof that extreme narcissism crosses the line into insanity. Yet 70 million Americans voted for this deranged incompetent - and many of them not once but twice. I can think of no other democracy where the deluded can be found in such numbers. America first - again - and hand in hand with so many other unenviable indicators, such as the Covid statistics. Rome took several centuries to fall; America is determined to achieve a similar disintegration in record time.

I don’t have a guy.

This is the Trump thread and I despise him.

PS: should we bump your Hunter’s lap top predictions? ?

Sally, those aren't inconsistent. There was a web of contacts and communications. That Mueller did not find sufficient evidence that those contacts and communications amounted to a conspiracy of collusion with Russia's election interference doesn't mean that there weren't communications. Moreover, what many on Trump's side are ignoring is that for those with legal training or experience in investigation, the Trump camp's action essentially invited an investigation. In addition to the contacts, Jr. lied about the meeting in New York and conveniently couldn't remember who he called when he got out of the meeting. Trump drafted Jr.'s lie about the meeting and lied about drafting it. Trump asked Comey to back off and fired him when he didn't back off. Given that the intelligence services had concluded that Russia interfered with the election, it would have been professional malpractice to not investigate. It also is worth noting that (1) Trump didn't testify under oath because his lawyers were sure he would lie (and at least one of his written responses contradicted his earlier statements), (2) Mueller concluded that Trump had obstructed the inquiry, and (3) despite Trump's claims, the report did not exonerate him.

A lot of what you wrote is valid. I don't think Mueller made a conclusion either way about obstruction but I do agree with a lot of what you said.

The Biden-Harris campaign has to be the worst ever. Hiding, praying nothing goes wrong. I suppose they believe with the media in their pocket, and plenty of cash for commercials, that will do it. It will be startling if this strategy fails for a second time. The excuse will be the Russians did it. Flagpole can rant about it for another four years. ???

This one aged beautifully ??

What prediction, other than the laptop was relevant. It would have been more so if your Liberal press and social media were more honest, but like you they are just schleps of a different stripe. That laptop will provide plenty of evidence for the FBI and IRS. It is already fun watching the payback beginning. Hunter + Jim + Joe = China + Russia + Ukraine = influence peddling, money laundering + tax evasion. Turns out the Democrats were projecting a lot of malfeasance. ?

Speaking of Flagpole, is he still droning on or has he retired to the left coast?

- Trump associates repeatedly lied to investigators about their contacts with Russians, and President Trump refused to answer questions about his efforts to impede federal proceedings and influence the testimony of witnesses.

- A statement signed by over 1,000 former federal prosecutors concluded that if any other American engaged in the same efforts to impede federal proceedings the way Trump did, they would likely be indicted for multiple charges of obstruction of justice.

- The investigation “identified numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump Campaign” and established that the Trump Campaign “showed interest in WikiLeaks's releases of documents and welcomed their potential to damage candidate Clinton”.

- Special Counsel Mueller declined to exonerate President Trump and instead detailed multiple episodes in which he engaged in obstructive conduct. The Mueller Report states that if the Special Counsel’s Office felt they could clear the president of wrongdoing, they would have said so. Instead, the Report explicitly states that it “does not exonerate” the President[10] and explains that the Office of Special Counsel “accepted” the Department of Justice policy that a sitting President cannot be indicted.[11]

Welcome to reality, hope you can stay awhile for a change.

Your the guy with the hunchback. Joe Biden has been a scumbag since he was exposed plagiarizing speeches during his first presidential campaign. He and his family are not even good crooks. Trump was much better. Anyway, pretty sure there will be four years of this, so don’t get a knot in your panties.
