DOJ Appoints Robert Mueller as Special Counsel - Jerome Corsi Rejects Plea Deal

[row_33]

Mueller was catfished again.

 

 

Just saw a replay of Obama in 2012 telling Romney that fearing Russia is pointless, like the 1980s wanting its foreign policy back.

And I would like 2008 back so we could have had a REAL President in office.

 

Obama was, by far, the worst President this country has ever seen. And it's not a race thing as to why I am saying this. It's a "sucking at your job" thing which knows no race.

Can anyone tell us why Russia would want Trump to win? Their economy is very much tied to gas and oil prices. Trump campaigned on boosting our production. That would automatically be a bad thing for Russia. Any thinking person with a modicum of knowledge would realize that Mayhem is what they were trying to create.

Waaaaaaay too much logic ...simpletons are unable to process that much logic.

So do you think there is nothing that can be done to stop Russian misinformation campaigns in elections? This is the new normal? 

I think you're stupid if you think it is just Russia. I swear the fact the Intel community and media are pushing the notion this is just a Russia problem is frightening. Don't they know most people are morons and eat up everything they say as gospel?

You made the claim thus it falls on you to back it up. That's how it works here. I am not going to do your work for you.

Obama was awful but Republicans had no chance in '08 coming off of Bush.  What's a shame IMO is that we didn't just re-elect Mitt Romney in 2016.  Mitt in my view is smart, presidential, capable, experienced and has expressed solid policy positions.

Here is (one of) his tweets this morning.....................

If it was the GOAL of Russia to create discord, disruption and chaos within the U.S. then, with all of the Committee Hearings, Investigations and Party hatred, they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. They are laughing their asses off in Moscow. Get smart America!

Yes, yes, yes, exactly. 

Aptest Trump tweet ever.

I'll throw in more because, per my theory about his tweets the stuff on Schiff is pretty great. 

 

First one is for Bug who was discussing with me last night this very thing:

 

 

 

 

Then, this seemingly unrelated gem about the Iran deal. He "never got over" it... 

 

 

Plus another 100b in sanction relief, plus a prisoner exchange - all done in CASH without any ability to track where the money went (some of it did not go to Tehran, but DPRK for example). 

 

This tweet isn't random. It isn't unhinged, like the March 4th 2017 tweets about being wiretapped - this is setting people up for what's to come. 

 

He's going to go after 44. And he's got more than enough evidence to sink him. 

 

This is only going to get uglier for a lot of people in denial on this board...

"For the past year, Donald Trump has repeatedly denied the existence of a profound national security threat..."

 

... write the editors of the NYT in "Stop Letting the Russians Get Away With It, Mr. Trump." They're pointing at the new indictment as if it makes it obvious that the Russians already did something that amounts to a profound national security threat.

 

But it's far from obvious. In fact, I can't see it at all.

On Friday, Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating Russia’s role in the 2016 election, filed criminal charges of fraud and identity theft against 13 Russian citizens and three Russian organizations, all alleged to have operated a sophisticated influence campaign intended to “sow discord in the U.S. political system.”

So... they engaged in speech and they meant to "sow discord." I can't see that as a profound national security threat. If we were to adopt that view and act upon it, there would be a profound threat to freedom of speech.

["Specialists" at the Internet Research Agency] posed as Americans and created false identities to set up social media pages and groups aimed at attracting American audiences. 

Another day on the internet — people pretended to be what they are not. If you're going to assume that readers of the internet are so naive as to take the crap that pops up on line at face value, you're making the argument that we can't even have a democracy at all. People are too stupid to vote. But we're on the alert — even when we read the New York Times — that somebody's always trying to con us.

The broad outlines of this interference have been known publicly for a while, but the sheer scope of the deception detailed in Friday’s indictments is breathtaking.

Eh. I'm still breathing.

By the spring of 2016, the operation had zeroed in on supporting Mr. Trump and disparaging Hillary Clinton. 

Because it was more chaos-y. So what?

The Internet Research Agency alone had a staff of 80 and a monthly budget of $1.25 million. On the advice of a real, unnamed grass-roots activist from Texas, it had focused its efforts on swing states like Colorado, Virginia and Florida.

Staffers bought ads with messages like “Hillary is a Satan,” “Ohio Wants Hillary 4 Prison” and “Vote Republican, Vote Trump, and support the Second Amendment!”

So these geniuses produced more of the same junk that you see all the time on the internet. It was like having 80 more deplorables chattering. How can that be "a profound national security threat"?!

Yes, fake news, indeed. "For the past year, Donald Trump has repeatedly denied the existence of a profound national security threat" and based on the indictment — as laid out in this editorial meant to show how wrong he was — I'd say he was right. And I'm disturbed at how stupid the NYT editors seem to think its readers are.

 

It's almost forgivable that they think people could be so easily confused by some Russian rallies and social media posts. Forgivable, but still deserving of the Trump taunt: fake news.

The upcoming media purge will be a joy to behold.

 

***********************

VP of Facebook chimes in after the indictments:

 

 

(More in his tweet thread if you click on it)

 

"The majority of the Russian ad spend happened AFTER the election."

 

But, details don't matter to those who have preformed their conclusions or to the media who's actively working against the people interested in truth...

LOL........................

 

Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania issued a warning to special counsel Robert Mueller not to release his findings at any point near the 2018 midterm elections.

 

“I don’t think we’ll know anywhere near the full story until [Mueller] issues his report,” Casey said. “But once you get into the summer, and you get close to the election, I think it’s a mistake for him to release it late. I think you should wait until after [the election]”

Now, we know these Democrats. If they were sure that Mueller’s report was going to spell doom for the Trump administration, they wouldn’t care one bit about the appropriateness of releasing it around an election.

I just saw a healine claiming that this was 90 people with 2 million dollars. My God, the tabloid media has been pushing this "interference" for well over a year now. And, this is what they were talking about? It must suck knowing you were defeated by 90 people with 2 million dollars when you work for these multi-billion dollar corporations pushing propaganda 24/7. I was unable to read that article, bc of a paywall, but this must be what it's like to think you "won the lottery," tell all your frineds, buy all sorts of crazy stuff, and then find out the jackpot was all of 5 dollars.

 

I mean, here is your toy Yoda!
