Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Whitaker even mused about how an acting attorney general could effectively kill the investigation. “I could see a scenario where Jeff Sessions is replaced with a recess appointment,” Whitaker said on CNN last year, “and that attorney general doesn’t fire Bob Mueller, but he just reduces his budget to so low that his investigation grinds to almost a halt.” https://www.vox.com/2018/11/7/18072956/jeff-sessions-fired-mueller-trump-russia-whitaker Edited November 7, 2018 by wanna-b-fanboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustamente Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Make no mistake about it firing Mueller would be the worst mistake that Trump would make, they may be banking on slowing him down and making it harder for Mueller to do his job, but I think Mueller has done most of the grunt work and in all probability is getting his ducks in a row and getting more indictments ready, he knew the day of Sessions being fired and Rothstein being pushed aside would come quickly after the midterms.

Mark F Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Hard to have any idea what's next. Kansas elected a Democratic party governor. Interesting, Laura Kelly; "(Republican incumbent) Kobach attempted to stir up fears about the caravan of Central American migrants traveling north through Mexico, in an effort to make illegal immigration a key issue for Kansas voters. Laura Kelly ( who won) has acknowledged the key role immigrant labor plays in Kansas’s economy, saying at a debate last week that, if elected, she would endorse comprehensive immigration reform to “let people live in peace.” I've read that state Republicans have really wrecked Kansas. Specially their school system. Edited November 7, 2018 by Mark F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracker Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) No question that the Sessions firing was intended to impede or halt the investigation into Trump's affairs and the affairs of his family. There may be a much larger game afoot here from the Russians. Trump is heavily indebted to the Russian mob and Saudi royal family and he has always placed his welfare above that of others, even his son Don Junior. Trump has probably been a Russian asset since the early 2000's when he was on the verge of his biggest bankruptcy. The banks in North America and Europe would no longer touch him and he was desperate. Enter the Russian mob/big business/government. Eric Margolis, the noted reporter who has been watching the Russian and Asian political scene for some 30 years, maintains that the Russians have been far more successful in penetrating the American and British intelligence and political machinery than the CIA or MI6 ever were in accessing the Russian equivalents. Russia has succeeded in influencing American foreign policy beyond their wildest dreams, but their real endgame may be to destroy American societal cohesion and set the different factions at each others' throats. Trumps denigration of his intelligence community and discounting of their advice is another step in undermining trust in these institutions while he looks the others way. The prime and recent example of the hither-to respected FBI being ordered "investigate" the allegations against Kavanaugh and then being manipulated so as to produce an exculpatory report on Kavanaugh with them interviewing Kavanaugh, Dr, Ford, Kavanaugh's best friend or either of the other two women who came forward, has to undermine Americans' trust of even the FBI. All this is likely intended to produce exactly what has happened- fatalism on the part of voters that no matter how or if they vote, it produce no positive change. Then, if there is no trust in democracy, all that is needed is for a semi-charismatic leader to step forward with a simplistic "plan" and extravagant promises and voila! we have Germany at the end of the Weimar Republic. America then either becomes a thinly disguised dictatorship or a helpless giant ripe for the picking.

I've read that it appears that huge amounts of money for the "leave" side of Brexit came from Russia. It's disturbing that it's been, really, quite easy for Putin to carry this out. Something good happening in Kansas. Quote Kansas voters made history Tuesday when they selected Sharice Davids to be their next congresswoman. Davids, a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation, will be the first Native American woman to serve in Congress — a distinction she shared with New Mexico’s Deb Haaland, who also won Tuesday — and the first openly LGBT person to represent the state of Kansas.

Most people just don't realize how global the investigation has become: Kushner & Qatar, possible half billion Nadar & UAE, funneling money to Trump campaign Flynn & Israel, Logan Act violations Kushner & China, had to downgrade his security clearance, suspected asset for the Chinese This thing is going to be a New York Times best seller.
