FAKE ACCUSATIONS (by Drump
A reporter is pushing back on President Donald Trump's claim that journalists who interviewed him leaked his off-the-record comments about NAFTA negotiations.
In an unusual move for a reporter, Daniel Dale, Washington correspondent for the Toronto Star, said in a tweet Saturday that his source for a story about Trump's comments on trade negotiations with the Canadian government did not come from the Bloomberg journalists who conducted the interview.
"I'd said I wasn't going to say anything about my source for the quotes Trump made off the record to Bloomberg. However, I don't want to be party to the president's smearing of excellent, ethical journalists. So I can say this: none of the Bloomberg interviewers was my source," Dale tweeted.

Washington (CNN) Washington lobbyist W. Samuel Patten pleaded guilty Friday to acting as an unregistered foreign lobbyist, and admitted to lying to the Senate Intelligence Committee and funneling a Ukrainian oligarch's money to Donald Trump's Presidential Inaugural Committee.
Oh, it gets better than that.
In 2015, the Washington D.C. lobbyist, W. Samuel Patten, entered into a 50-50 partnership with a Russian intelligence operative with close ties to Putin and the Kremlin. Patten and the Russian spy, Konstantin V. Kilimnik, started a political consulting company together. Earlier, Kalimnick had worked closely with Paul Manafort in promoting pro-Russian interests in Ukraine.
Kilimnik was indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's grand jury on June 8, 2018 on charges of obstruction of justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice by attempting to tamper with a witness on behalf of Manafort. Manafort is in jail awaiting his (second) Federal trial later this month. Kilimnick is a fugitive from justice, and believed to be in Moscow.
Patten's guilty plea is the tip of yet another iceberg that will sink the Trumptanic.
Patten's plea deal might include a sealed agreement to cooperate and testify, like the one that Michael Cohen probably has.

Mueller's witch list:
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/08/21/us/mueller-trump-charges.html
The Watergate scandal resulted in 69 indictments, and 48 convictions.
Trump better step it up, if he expects to obtain the bragging rights of The Most. Ever.
Mueller hasn't yet indicted any Americans with a last name that begins with "T".
Did you hear about the gift of evidence that Robert Mueller received?
He must have gone to Jared.

I think that when you just lie everyday and make up facts and get your news from Fox and the Enquier, we are in trouble , Trump is not a very intelligent person or well read .
Today was a great day for America.
It is good to see all the people at Mccain's funeral,wether your think good or bad of him . but all the people there showed their unity for the values of America instead of the divisions that Trump creates every day.
Trump is like the "Grinch That Stole Christmas" while the folk's down in Who ville carry on with their lives and their grief for a fallen hero.
Trump thinks he is an Emperor, but he is losing his cloths ..
As Rodney Dangerfeild said... "I can' even get invited to a funeral"
Weather you agree with John Mccain or not , I am glad he brought us all together as Americans for the last few day 's . We are all created equally . And it is refreshing to hear sane people like Bush and Obama speak instead of Trumps tweeting.

Women who were underage fashion models at the time tell stories of Trump groping them, walking into dressing rooms, and startling one from her sleep by getting into bed with her (he used his passkey to enter her Mar-A-Lago hotel room after she had rebuffed him).

Now that's FAKE, not even one person will salute trump when he dies.
The range of things Trump is declaring fake is growing too. Last month he tweeted about "fake books," "the fake dossier," "fake CNN," and he added a new claim – that Google search results are "RIGGED" to mostly show only negative stories about him. He also accused NBC News' Lester Holt of "fudging" the tape of his May 2017 interview conducted shortly after Trump fired FBI director James Comey.

Putin's puppet was assassinated by an explosion at a cafe.
No, it was not the Putin Puppet you're thinking of. It was a different Putin Puppet.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/31/rebel-leader-alexander-zakharchenko-killed-in-explosion-in-ukraine
This is how Putin operates: install a weak and subservient puppet as a Manchurian Leader, and if he gets out of line, wipe him out in a dramatic manner.
Paul Manafort was a political operative for Putin's cronies in Ukraine. His job was to make a Kremlin-groomed puppet more palatable to Ukrainian voters. When Manafort failed to achieve a lasting result there, he was ordered to Trump Tower to run the 2016 campaign.
This Russia thing, with Trump and Russia, is not a made-up story. It is being blown wide open by investigators uncovering the incompetence of various players.
Follow the money. Just, follow the money.

Trump has visited his golf courses on 25 percent of his 590 days in office
Of his 590 days in office, Trump has gone to Trump properties on 196 days and Trump golf properties on 153 days
This was the guy who would be so busy draining the swamp that he wouldn't have any time left over.

So now Trump wants Sessions to disregard crimes committed by sitting members of congress.
Trumps tweet..
"Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department," Trump tweeted. "Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff.."
From USA Today
Earlier this month, Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., was indicted on enough insider trading charges to put him away for 150 years after he allegedly called his son from a congressional picnic at the White House to tip him off on confidential corporate information. Collins has denounced the charges as "meritless" and says he looks forward "to being fully vindicated and exonerated."
And from the Washington Post:
The Justice Department on Tuesday charged a Republican congressman and his wife with using more than $250,000 in campaign funds to pay for family vacations, theater tickets and other personal expenses.
Rep. Duncan D. Hunter (Calif.) and his wife, Margaret, were charged in a 47-page indictment that details how they allegedly used campaign money to live beyond their means, funding trips to Italy, Hawaii and other places, as well as school tuition, dental work and theater tickets. The Justice Department said in a news release that the couple also allegedly spent tens of thousands of dollars on more modest items, such as golf outings, video games and even home utilities.

No John, he wants to disregard crimes committed by REPUBLICAN congress people. If they were Democrats he'd be demanding they be put right in jail.

For all practical purposes, Trump is above the law. He can’t be, or won’t be, indicted. He may well be impeached in the house but that will be, more or less, feckless. The senate would have to try him and convict with with a 2/3 majority in order to remove him from office. Even if the the dems win the senate this fall, which isn’t likely, it will be by just one or two votes even in the in the best of projections. There are too many self interested, and also morally bereft, Republican senators to get anywhere near a 2/3 vote.
The country’s best hope in ridding ourselves of this scourge is the threat of state prosecution of Trump’s family and friends. In other words crimes he can’t pardon. His son(s), daughter, and son-in-law might go to jail, and that might be the leverage necessary to get Trump to resign. We’d still have to contend with Pence who is in some ways worse, and also the perennially tweeting bloviating ex-President Trump.

I understand what you are saying Dropline and agree with most all you say.
If the Dems can turn the House and let Mueller release his report, it might be so damaging the even hard line Republicans would turn against him.
Also they would have the heads of committee's that could investigate him.
If one of his kids is indicted on a state charge that also might trigger him to lose it and do some thing that reaches a tipping point.
It seems He and Rudy are not even trying to deny things anymore , but just trying to stall and obstruct in every way they can.
The Justice Department is supposed to be independent of Presidential oversight.
