The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 3798 - Politics and Economics

Just in case anyone is behind, and you could be forgiven for overlooking this, the Missouri GOP is apparently completely fine with their governor blackmailing the woman he was cheating on his wife with by threatening to release nude pictures of her that were taken without her consent.

FAMILY VALUES

LAW AND ORDER

**** IT IM IN FOR THE RACISM

I'd say I'm surprised this case isn't getting more national attention, but there's just too much goddamn circus-type **** going on I guess it gets passed over. I just read a small chunk of the interview done with the woman he tied up and it's chock full of the old salacious details people love. Also, Greitens sounds like pure water trash.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently told the White House he might have to leave his job if President Trump fired his deputy, Rod J. Rosenstein, who oversees the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to people familiar with the exchange.

Sessions made his position known in a phone call to White House counsel Donald McGahn last weekend, as Trump’s fury at Rosenstein peaked after the deputy attorney general approved the FBI’s raid April 9 on the president’s personal attorney Michael Cohen.

What is Sessions' deal?

He's been a 10/10 piece of **** for like 40 years. This action seems....respectable?

I have to admit I'm in the dark regarding "Pakistani mystery man." Although now that I think about it, it's probably chessmate libs.

Anybody Center or Left of could only dream of having people hate Reagan the way the Right hates either Clinton.

He doesn't like being pushed around and told what to do. It's his way of saying "**** you" to Trump.

So Trump will fire Rosenstein by the end of the night? He wants Sessions gone anyway.

Mystery Pakistani Man is obviously the dude that acid washed Hillary's emails with bleach. Remember, foreigners do the dirty work.

Apparently Jefferson Beauregard wants to **** over minorities and the poor with the class of a true southern gentleman, you know, by keeping them from voting... not through a full bore authoritarian regime.

Trump's first version of that tweet was deleted because he referred to Debbie Wasserman as "Wendy Wasserman"

He's got that Peggy Peterson/David Dennison alliteration on the brain 24/7 lol

For months, conservative news outlets have built a case against Imran Awan, his wife, two brothers and a friend, piece by piece.
To hear some commentators tell it, with the help of his family and a cushy job on Capitol Hill, Mr. Awan, a Pakistani-American, had managed to steal computer hardware, congressional data and even — just maybe — a trove of internal Democratic National Committee emails that eventually surfaced last summer on WikiLeaks. It helped that the story seems to involve, if only tangentially, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the Florida congresswoman who is the former chairwoman of the committee and an ally of Hillary Clinton’s.

The Daily Caller, with almost two dozen articles on the family, has led the pack in reporting the story,*packaging new details*that have dribbled out of the investigation into a growing web of material, even as few in the mainstream news media paid attention.

That is until Monday, when Mr. Awan was arrested by the F.B.I. and United States Capitol Police on seemingly unrelated charges as he tried to board a flight to Pakistan. In the days since, the story has raced down an increasingly familiar track at warp speed, from the fringes of the internet to Fox News and other established publications.

Obviously I have no regrets and a 2+2 ban is a very small price to pay to ruin the safe space of some Trumpkins, but just warning in case some of you care.

Someone made a thread in this forum about him and his family. Don't remember the name. Didn't get a lot of traction.

The conspiracy theory involved this programmer or tech guy getting unauthorized access to confidential information and also possibly blackmailing Wasserman Schultz to stay silent or something.

Sure he can, but it'll go on his permanent record.

I had surgery yesterday. Besides being a slow Thursday, what'd I miss through today? Something about Comey memos, Giuliani joining legal team Trump, Sessions entering a Rosenstein suicide pact solo, and Dems suing Russia for tampering in 2016. Also, some Twitter ramblings by Trump.

Anything else?
