And.................my very favorite concerning Sexy Paul Manafort the Great from U.A. District Judge T.S. Ellis to Mueller:
“You don’t really care about Mr. Manafort’s bank fraud ... You really care about getting information Mr. Manafort can give you that would reflect on Mr. Trump and lead to his prosecution or impeachment,” said U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III. source
what a load of crap! Has Manafort failed to make his mortgage payments? Is he not keeping the lawn cut? Maybe he stiffed his housekeeper? Inquiring minds want to know
The accusation:
The filing offers one example in which Manafort provided Federal Savings Bank with "doctored profit and loss statements" for 2015 and 2016, overstating the income of his lobbying firm, DMP International "by millions of dollars" to secure a $9 million mortgage on a Fairfax, Virginia property pledged against his $10 million bail. read the rest
Because no one has ever manipulated figures on a credit application.
No one who has ever been a Subchapter S Corporation, whose balance statements tend to be very weak, would ever think to run their already filed tax returns through a copy machine, white out the figures, re-run them through the aforementioned copy machine, fill in new figures, and present said papers to a mortgage or bank firm.
Oh, no - that would never, ever happen.
No one buying a car would lie to the salesman when filling out the credit app. Uh uh - no, never happened.
Witness your hard earned tax money, extracted from you by force, being flushed down the toilet by these bureaucratic weenies, while not having time to follow protocol over numerous reports of a homicidal future school shooter who proceeded to slaughter 17 people. So manygreat deals at Amazon todayI can't even begin to single out he best ones. Except for this mattress:
I looked at memory foam mattresses at Big Lots yesterday to see how they worked and I was pretty dang impressed.
But then, nothing the swamp creatures do surprises me anymore. I may still retain the ability to be shocked, but surprise bit the dust long ago.
I go away for a few hours yesterday and while otherwise occupied, Sexy Paul Manafort the Great files a civil lawsuit against Robert Mueller, Rod Rosenstein, and the Justice Department.
I can't comment on the lawsuit because it's 64 pages long and I haven't had time to read it all yet.
However, it's not lost on me that before scooting out of the house yesterday morning the MSM was squawking about the suit - bigly.
All of sudden the lying filthy unethical MSM is pushing the story about Bannon apparently going all cray-cray and trashing Jared Kushner.
Within hours of that, excerpts from Michael Wolff's upcoming book, Fire and Fury, are released. Guess what? According to this self-promoting "journalist" Trump doesn't want anyone touching his toothbrush.
I started to read the excerpt and after a few paragraphs I was distracted by having to watch my kittehs pee-pee clump in her litter box. It proved to be way more interesting than this drivel Wolff patched together in order to make a quick buck.
Operation complete - Manafort is pushed off the front page, along with his lawsuit. Since I'm probably only one in about 10 million peeps that will bother to read it, I will state that after reading a few excerpts it seems to have merit.
One need not be a legal eagle beagle to know that Mueller has been running a clown show and most likely doing it outside the law.
FOX News Legal Analyst Gregg Jarrett wrote back on October 30, 2017:
Shortly after the indictments[against Papadopoulos and Manafort] were unsealed, the media’s spirits were suddenly boosted when the special counsel revealed that a former adviser to Trump pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with a Russian national during his time on the Trump campaign. Surely this was evidence of illegal “collusion,” right?
Wrong. George Papadopoulos pled guilty to a single charge of making a false statement to the FBI. He was not charged with so-called “collusion” because no such crime exists in American statutory law, except in anti-trust matters. It has no application to elections and political campaigns.
It is not a crime to talk to a Russian. Not that the media would ever understand that. They have never managed to point to a single statute that makes “colluding” with a foreign government in a political campaign a crime, likely because it does not exist in the criminal codes.
Jarrett continued:
[...]Until now, no one had legal “standing” to argue in court that the appointment of Mueller was illegal. The criminal charges [against Manafort and Papadopoulos] change all that. The two defendants will be able to argue before a judge that Mueller’s appointment by Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein violated the special counsel law.
As I pointed out in a column last May, the law (28 CFR 600) grants legal authority to appoint a special counsel to investigate crimes. Only crimes. He has limited jurisdiction. Yet, in his order appointing Mueller as special counsel (Order No. 3915-2017), Rosenstein directed him to investigate “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump.” It fails to identify any specific crimes, likely because none are applicable. read it all
Will Manafort win his suit? I'm placing my bet on Manafort. So forget about Trump's toothbrush, banish Bannon from your head, and soldier on comrades. If you need something to do, you're welcome to join me by my kitteh's litter box. More: WND: Subject in anti-Trump book: Author made up quote
it appears so and it's about time.
Keep in mind the original "breaker" of this story is the Washington Post - a very dishonest purveyor of fake news. So why now?
I'll give it thought while I head off for history club and a bunch of frivolous trinket shopping.
From Last Refuge:
Tucker Carlson revealed some stunning information tonight on his TV show. Former Trump Campaign CEO Paul Manafort worked for John and Tony Podesta, while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, and assisted in gaining Russian benefits via influence over State Department policy.
Was sexy Paul Manfort the great a "double agent?" No.
Obviously, with my penchant for liking this particular "bad boy" I'd say that, but I think as things come out Manafort will be proven to have not double crossed Trump.
Sexy Paul Manafort the Great is calling on the Justice Department to release transcripts of any intercepted communications he may have had with foreigners.
“If true, it is a felony to reveal the existence of a FISA warrant, regardless of the fact that no charges ever emerged. The U.S. Department of Justice’s Inspector General should immediately conduct an investigation into these leaks and to examine the motivations behind a previous Administration’s effort to surveil a political opponent. Mr. Manafort requests that the Department of Justice release any intercepts involving him and any non-Americans so interested parties can come to the same conclusion as the DOJ – there is nothing there.” Manafort spokesman Jason Maloni said in a statement.
These people want me to believe that an Italian business man, who in all probability knew he was being tapped, opened his pie hole and spewed out incriminating word salad on an unsecured phone? Trust me here - that never happened. Manafort didn't just fall off the zucchini truck.
The following is an excerpt from an article in the Coeur d'Alene Press by my friend Syd Albright, who writes a weekly history column. It's important to understand when this crap started.
Published 9/17/2017 Syd Albright
A major
fallout of the Vietnam War was ballooning illegal activities by America’s
intelligence community — especially the CIA, FBI and NSA. After nationwide
anti-war protests, violence and Watergate, whistleblowers, concerned citizens
and news media sources began probing, and politicians started their own
investigations. Accusations against Intel agencies included illegal
assassinations of world leaders, warrant-less surveillance, break-ins, wire
taps, mail opening, drug trafficking, harassing anti-war activists, and
countless other sins.
In 1975, a Senate investigating committee chaired by Idaho
Sen. Frank Church conducted hearings on the alleged abuses. Other
investigations also took place.
Church said on
NBC’s Meet the Press:
“In the
need to develop a capacity to know what potential enemies are doing, the United
States government has perfected a technological capability that enables us to
monitor the messages that go through the air.
[...]"Now, that is necessary and
important to the United States as we look abroad at enemies or potential
enemies. We must know, at the same time, that capability at any time could be
turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy
left such is the capability to monitor everything — telephone conversations,
telegrams, it doesn’t matter. There would be no place to hide.
"If this
government ever became a tyranny, if a dictator ever took charge in this
country, the technological capacity that the intelligence community has given
the government could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no
way to fight back because the most careful effort to combine together in
resistance to the government — no matter how privately it was done — is within
the reach of the government to know.
"Such is the capability of this technology.
“I don’t want to see this country ever go across the bridge. I
know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must
see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology
operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over
that abyss.
“That is
the abyss from which there is no return.”
And now listen to Tucker Carlson question what's going on in 2017:
Chuck Todd sounds like the idiot he is and Manafort is having none of it! Someone let me know when he treats Hillary like he just interacted with Manafort. Oh, wait - not going to happen.
Trump: "We must maintain law and order at the highest level or we will cease to have a country. One hundred percent, or we will cease to have a country."
I think we can all agree that the law and order at the highest levels has been a very transparent joke lately. I'm not laughing. Are you?
That a career criminal like Hillary could even be running for the presidency is a disgrace.
Chuck Todd Interviews Paul Manafort On "Meet The Press" (6/26/2016)
In which Chuck Todd sounds like his usual silly self, and Paul Manafort appears bemused as though a yapping little fluff ball was nipping at his heels.
Towards the end, Todd pressures Manafort to declare whether Trump has "accepted Jesus" and is now a born again Christian. I find that whole line of questioning offensive and immaterial. Trump's spiritual life is none of my business.
“You don’t really care about Mr. Manafort’s bank fraud ... You really care about getting information Mr. Manafort can give you that would reflect on Mr. Trump and lead to his prosecution or impeachment,” said U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III. source
