After the latest Mueller news, these corrupt Trump moves look much worse
Wash Post ^ | Dec 3, 2018 | Greg Sargent

The latest revelations in the Russia saga should refocus our attention on a critical period during the 2016 presidential campaign. I’m talking about the seven weeks or so that began in June 2016, when Donald Trump Jr. planned the infamous Trump Tower meeting with Russians, and ended in late July, with GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump publicly calling on Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails.

What we now know is this. During much of that period, the Trump Organization was secretly pursuing a business deal in Russia that required Kremlin approval — even though the most senior members of Trump’s own campaign, and possibly Trump himself, knew at the time that Russia was waging an attack designed to sabotage our democracy on Trump’s behalf, which they eagerly sought to help Russia carry out.

On at least one occasion, Trump publicly absolved Russia of any blame for this attack — while apparently carrying on private financial dealings that involved the office of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Over the weekend, the legal team working for Michael Cohen, President Trump’s estranged fixer and personal lawyer, filed a new document requesting leniency, now that Cohen has pleaded guilty to lying to Congress to conceal efforts to build a Trump Tower in Moscow that continued at least into June 2016, around when Trump clinched the nomination. The new filing says Cohen was in “close and regular contact” with White House advisers and Trump’s legal team while he prepared to lie to Congress — raising the possibility that they were actively consulted on this plan.

WAPOO’s harbinger of what we’re in for as the Nacoms (mational communists) masquerading as in name only democrat party congress members push for Trumps impeachment the next two years.

“...with GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump publicly calling on Russia to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails.”

As far as anyone needs to read. About six levels of lies in that one statement.

Actually, in the joke he used the word “find”, not “hack” because, as everyone knows, most major players had Hillary’s emails all filed away in some form or another.

And, when Trump said that, Hillary’s server had already been discontinued. That little detail is always glossed over, since it would have been impossible to “hack” her emails.

The DNC server was NOT the illegal server Hillary had set up, which is what Trump was referring to.

Amazon Compost says gotcha! They’ve finally nailed Trump’s hide to the wall.

Except for the little fact the Moscow Trump Tower project was legitimate and was undertaken when Trump was a private citizen.

A nothingburger.

I swear these people have the mentality of a 6 year old.

First, the reference to Russia hacking Hillary emails was quite obviously a facetious joke and secondly, if he were serious about them doing it, he certainly wouldn’t have announced it publicly for all including the press to hear.

The characterization of him even being remotely serious about it is truly infantile.

President Trump was not the Republican Nominee until July 19, 2016.

Now IIRC, Obama FAILED to inform President Trump about POSSIBLE Russian interference in a timely fashion.

Instead, the administration planted moles within the Trump camp....courtesy of the FBI and CIA.
