Guessing that there is some sort of Contempt of Congress charge that can be levied if a person called before a committee leaves prior to the hearing being dismissed / recessed. Which would explain why Waters was trying to get him to walk out without ending the hearing. If not that, no clue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She needed to hit the gavel to dismiss him. Of course when you point out something obvious in a direct way to a woman, it's called mansplaining. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor would it have kept her from having a nice meme/ CNN talking point of how the Treasury secretary is a misogynistic/racist/senior citizen hating post-neo Nazi who has no respect for the rule of law nor the separation of powers.

TPS Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I would think that anyone who believes there is a corrupt deep state not only within the US but also connected to other nation-states would view this as a take down of those who are trying to expose the group. It's not a good day for those trying to shed light on a corrupt world... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 So Assmange is taken in to custody...but only AFTER does the DoJ file charges, at which point extradition hearings commence. My question is: who in DOJ filed the charges? Seems like an important point concerning Assmange's survival: if it's the anti-Trump cabal within DOJ and the IC, and given the timing of the arrest, what are the odds Assmange survives the next 72 hours? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like an important point concerning Assmange's survival: if it's the anti-Trump cabal within DOJ and the IC, and given the timing of the arrest, what are the odds Assmange survives the next 72 hours? This is the million dollar question. I started getting chatter last week this was imminent (hence the ludicrous speed post) from neutral (not pro or anti Trump) sources. Previous conversations I've had on the Assange topic had led me to believe he was being protected as early as January 2017 by "white hats" (for lack of a better term) because of what he could prove/provide on Russian hacking. Most of the people I spoke with inside the IC were split down the middle on their personal opinions on the man - but they were all on the same page in terms of him playing an important role in the future regarding the coup attempt. It brings me back to the deal he tried to cut with Comey in 2016. It was covered in this thread or the Russia thread (couldn't find it on the search, but will look harder). In 2016 Assange tried to broker a deal with the DOJ to give information on Russian hacking in exchange for immunity. To sweeten the deal, Assange offered to NOT publish the Vault 7 files. This was being brokered by Adam Waldman (Deripaska's attorney/Warner's good buddy). Comey and Clapper said no to the deal - and allowed the Vault 7 files to be released into the wild - and more importantly - allowed the Russian Collusion/Hacking/Conspiracy story continue on unabated. I lean towards today's actions being a protective move more than a move to take him out... but I guess we'll find out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 This is important: The indictment is dated March 2018. That shows us two things: 1) Sessions drew this up, and then sat on it. Not because he was "asleep" but because timing is key. 2) They don't act until after Mueller closes down and until after Barr brings the national conversation back to spying. Ludicrous speed.

Deranged Rhino Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 Maggie thinks he's speaking off the cuff. Maggie's wrong. Trump is using specific language for a purpose. He's telling people where this is going, as he has been doing for two years. Now we're (almost) at the precipice - and the freakout we're seeing is epic to watch.

If this is true (BIG if to me), then Ecuador's new regime had to have been in on it, and sat on Assange until the time was right. Maybe yes, maybe no. I will say that the soured relations with Assange and Ecuador for the past several months lends credence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
