US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Nope Mëds the left just points to the smear that is the dirty right is all.

Yeah, right, in an ”Obama was born in Kenya and is a Muslim” or ”Bill cheated on his wife so let’s impeach him” fashion, amirite? :wink:

Even more hilarious now that we know that Gingrich was actually cheating on his own wife while leading the pitchfork crowd in the onslaught against Bubba. Guess hypocracy has always been an area where they excel.... :lol:

That's what you said about the Russian collusion "investigation"! :lol:
Well.... They did conclude that there was Russian interference in the election that benefitted Trump and that there was intense contact between the Russians and several members of the Trump campaign. They couldn't find the smoking gun to tie the criminal actions to Trump personally though.
The investigation "identified numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump campaign", and determined that the Trump campaign "expected it would benefit electorally" from Russian hacking efforts. However, ultimately "the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities". The evidence was not necessarily complete due to encrypted, deleted, or unsaved communications as well as false, incomplete, or declined testimony. Mueller later said that the investigation's conclusion on Russian interference "deserves the attention of every American".
Mueller also refrained from bringing charges against Trump for obstruction of justice, abiding by a DOJ Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) opinion that a sitting president cannot stand trial. He did however account for ten infractions that could be considered obstruction, but left it to congress to decide if these were to be considered offences. Pelosi obviously felt that these infractions were not blatant enough to result in a successful impeachment, and abstained from pursuing it.

That doesn't mean there was no wrongdoing. Members of Trump's campaign staff did collude with the Russians and Trump himself did obstruct justice. Just as Bill Clinton did have sex with Monica Lewinsky. Those things happened. The question though is whether congress feels this is sufficient reason to remove the president from office.

Yet even though Trump was not brought down by the investigation several of his minions and henchmen got caught:

¤ Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, who had been appointed as National Security Advisor by the incoming Trump administration, was convicted of making false statements to FBI investigators about his conversations with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the presidential transition, and he was dismissed from his position.

¤ Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was found guilty on eight felony counts of tax evasion and bank fraud, pursuant to his earlier lobbying activities for the Party of Regions of former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovich. He later pled guilty to conspiracy to defraud and obstruction of justice; in total, he was sentenced to over seven years in jail.

¤ In February 2018, Mueller's team indicted thirteen Russian citizens and three Russian entities, including the Internet Research Agency (IRA), for conducting social media campaigns about the U.S. elections, and twelve members of the Russian GRU cyber espionage group known as Fancy Bear, for hacking and leaking DNC emails.

¤ In June 2018 Konstantin Kilimnik, Manafort's business partner in Ukraine, was indicted for witness tampering at the behest of Manafort; Kilimnik is suspected of working for Russian intelligence.

¤ Trump's personal lawyer Michael Cohen pled guilty to making hush payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal in violation of campaign finance laws, and was convicted for several unrelated counts of bank and tax fraud.

¤ Campaign adviser George Papadopoulos was convicted for making false statements to the FBI.

¤ Russian gun activist Maria Butina was interviewed by Special Counsel investigators, then prosecuted by the National Security Law Unit and imprisoned for spying.

¤ Longtime Trump advisor Roger Stone, who had met with a Russian person offering to sell derogatory financial information about Hillary Clinton, was indicted on seven charges and has pled not guilty.

In all, the investigation garnered 199 criminal charges, 37 indictments or guilty pleas, and 5 prison sentences.

As the investigation was brought to an end, they also handed over evidence of dozens of other cases of wrongdoing uncovered in the process to several district and state prosecutors that may result in further convictions.

So if this was a witch hunt, it must be considered a uniquely successful one in that it actually found solid evidence leading to the arrest and conviction of several of the witches! :look:

Yes, "contact between the Russians and several members of the Trump campaign"... but no "collusion". :sly:

Those "criminal actions by members of the Trump campaign"... had nothing whatsoever to do with "collusion".

The "contact" in and of itself was not part of those "criminal actions". (though your post makes it seem otherwise)

BTW there was also contact between the Russians and members of the Hillary campaign.

(and no doubt a $25M investigation would have uncovered criminal actions by some of them)

(cuz swamps be's swampy y'all)

But yeah, there ain't nothing wrong with that "contact" part of it...

Yet the investigation did not establish any obstruction whatsoever!

It is referred to as a "witch hunt" because it was designed to "investigate collusion" unjustly (Trumped-up charges).

It is also referred to as a "smear campaign", one YOU are embarrassingly trying to perpetuate...

Uhm... Bill did not fuck Monica. That’s why he did that whole ”define” thing, which went roughly like this:

”Mr President, did you have sex with Miss Lewinsky?”
”Uhm... define sex.”
”Well, you know, intercourse...”
”No, I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”

See, Bubba is a lawyer. He thought he was clever here. He made the other guy define sex as intercourse, and then he said no, because they never had intercourse. Just oral and stuff. But hey, they did have sex. They just never fucked. :wink:

Same thing with Donny and the Kremlin. They did have sex. They just never fucked.

Of course there was collussion. You know it as well as I do. There were repeated contacts between key players in Donald’s campaign and people working for the Kremlin. The Russians hacked Hillary’s e-mails, then released little by little in a manner intended to cause as much damage as possible to her campaign. The Russians helped Donald win. The investigation just did not manage to find the smoking gun.

They proved there was contact, that the Trump campaign first denied, and they proved the Russians interfered in the election, which Donald still refuses to acknowledge. They just couldn’t prove the actual conspiracy. But there is enough smoke to block out the sun, so there must be fire.
During a July 16, 2018, press conference at the 2018 Russia–United States summit in Helsinki, Finland, President Putin was asked, "did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?" Putin replied, "Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the US-Russia relationship back to normal."
(same link as before)

And the investigation accounts for ten instances that could be considered obstruction. The only reason Mueller didn’t indict Donald for those is because he respected the DoJ stated opinion that a sitting president could not be put on trial. Thus he deferred to congress that they must decide whether to act on these ten cases of obstruction. He made it very clear that the president was not exonerated.

And, yeah, they could impeach for obstruction of justice. Isn’t that what brought Nixon down? :eh:

Fuck sakes Per, did you even read my post? :roll:

Contact per se is allowed and, in fact, normal.

And the investigation failed to establish any collusion whatsoever by anyone in the Trump campaign.

Of course Putin hates Hillary, wtf dude... everybody hates Hillary! :lol:

But that has ZERO to do with collusion.

Also, if the investigation had found evidence of obstruction the Dems would have played their impeachment games.

Evidence from such a massive investigation would give them a much stronger case than 2nd-hand whistleblower crapola.

Admit it, you and yours have been grasping at straws since Inauguration Day cuz Trump Derangement Syndrome. :mex:

LONG LIVE THE KING!!! :wave: :towel:

Impeachment is consuming the political oxygen in Washington, and GOP leaders are concerned that the White House doesn’t know how to manage it, according to several high-level Republican aides.

President Donald Trump is supposed to be the man who could shoot somebody in the middle of Fifth Avenue without losing any political support. But the threat of impeachment is constraining the President’s power in surprising ways. As defiant witnesses provide damning testimony in the House inquiry, Republicans are increasingly seeking shelter from unrelated scandals.

Donald Trump is planning to build a border wall in Colorado. :o

https://time.com/5709047/trump-colorado-border-wall/

Does this mean he plans to cede New Mexico to Mexico? :|

I mean, his foreign policy is very erratic and unpredictable, and often goes against traditional US policy, so why not?
Who really considers those New Mexicans real Americans anyway, eh? :eh:

Per John Cardillo

Schiff is now in a race with Durham.

Schiff knows Durham’s criminal investigation’s findings will crush his sham impeachment inquiry, and likely land his co-conspirators in jail.

Brennan and others have reportedly lawyered up. Strzok and Page are screwed.

Interesting times.
