Democrat party spokesman Mr Perez advised they are seriously looking to expand the civil suit.

“This is not playing politics, it’s about defending America from Russian interference in our election”
Said Perez.

Perez went to suggest that Chachi visited Moscow on 3 occasions and met with nefarious characters.

“But it’s not just Chachi” “ we have conclusive evidence that this has been going on for years”

“We have demanded in writing that the creators of South Park respond to accusations that the Hillary Snuke episode was a Putin idea”
But wait there's more!
"Our lawsuits lays out, in no uncertain terms that the nation should never under any circumstance move on from the 2016 election result"

These words came out of Perez's mouth i kid you not.

Don't know, don't care. Surely you can see that defending a "you were all big meanies and stopped our Queen winning" lawsuit that you'd probe the hell out of what went on with Bernie.
Why post it then if you don’t care?
I can see danger deposing the likes of Obama.
Can’t see what you are seeing.

Anyway have doubts that the suit will get anywhere.

"We're calling on Wikileaks,Russia and Trump campaign to join the Democratic party in our efforts to spend the next several years prioritizing endless ******* discussion about election interference and what that means for Democracy"

In other words the Democrats are taking this meltdown all the way to 2020 and by doing so are giving themselves enough rope to hang themselves.

Wouldn’t read too much into that.

Think that the Mueller findings may influence that whichever way he finds.

When Watergate first broke and the Democrats sued and everyone said the same thing, "this is a dumb strategy, why would someone who holds the most powerful office in the world resort to illegal schemes to keep that office".o_O:rolleyes:

The lawsuit did 2 things, it gave them money from their opposition (Trump 101 playbook) and secondly it kept the scandal in the public eye which gained momentum over time which led to Nixon's resignation.

At the end of the day Nixon was gone and the DNC won the case (and the money) and at the next federal election they won the presidency. Hmmm.
My problem is that any time spent on this stuff is time not spent talking about how he lied about ridding Washington of corruption and talking about how he is just GW Bush 2.0.

I don't care whether or not Mr Simone is a lawyer. I believe he has a valid point.

I would go further, all the problems are Trump’s doing . If only he could keep his mouth shut (no more lies) and he stop tweeting.
I used to think the same (re twitter) until recently, but can see his reasoning now. Spelling mistakes are a good way of getting extra attention. It also appears that the Trump team has been communicating using 4chan/8chan (weaponized autism!) to bypass the media.

But wait there's more!

Yep ok that's exactly what they are doing and the only explanation ive been reading and hearing that makes any sense.

Can't say expecting history to repeat itself is a good stragedy myself,the Dems would be better off focusing on other things,but i ain't writing the script and shitshow that is US politics

Only in the USA.

History always does repeat, it's just that our surroundings/circumstances are different (I believe).

It's what fascinates me about this whole thing, I love history (I'm not a teacher) and I think we are really watching history unfold before our eyes.

Think you are giving him way too much credit re the spelling mistakes, 4Chan etc he is preaching to the converted but losing the fence sitters that voted for him.

Which is why the DNC are shooting themselves in the foot taking the headlines away from Trump, Mueller and Stormy etc.

I think it's all about Cohen, I believe they have real criminal charges on him and with the threat of enough jail time he'll flip.

If that's the case then I don't think anything else matters, this is why Guiliani has been bought in. He has history and a lot of close contacts in the Manhattan offices and Trump is hoping he can work some magic there.

Again back on the history theme but one of Nixon's closest ally's flipped which led to his downfall.

Guiliani is an idiot. He was lucky enough to be mayor of New York on September 11, that's it. I coulda looked sad that day too.
Trump didn't get him for his brains but because he used to work in office that's prosecuting the Cohen case.

It's funny that Trump has got the best legal team he's ever going to see and calling in friends of friends just for his lawyers case.

Looking at history is critical to understand the present. Unfortunately we have for quite some neglected history and as a result we are very prone to misreading situations and using history merely to justify our own preconceived emotional beliefs.

So a number of Democrats draw parallels to Nixon and watergate.

But history says quite the opposite
The repercussions for Nixon are an historical aberration. This was a black swan event.

Most Presidents have been accused with good cause of far more than Nixon.

Moreover in the recent decades extraordinary crimes by presidents and their administrations have been
Overlooked.

I would welcome the kind of accountability you are hoping for - but the USA is well past that point.

There are far too many on all sides who do not wish to have that Pandora’s box open.

Deals will be done and we will be told to move along there is nothing to see here.

Too true.
e.g. For all the Russia/impeachment distraction, has anyone championing for Trump's removal actually considered what that would lead to?
Mike Pence is far more establishment and conservative. The Koch brothers would be far happier with Pence than Trump sitting in the chair.

I don't imagine the Clintons or Bushes (or Cheneys) would want to invite scrutiny either.

I doubt their will be any sort of move for an impeachment, unless something else comes to light. Its more likely the electorate will tire of his BS. I doubt many of his supporters would be happy with his belligerent foreign policy. After all he promised to get away from all that. It probably makes him feel even more important & thus appeals to his gigantic ego.

Given the scale of fraud ingrained and revealed - in the US financial political military and media - the really interesting question is what we don’t know!

We know about the lies pertaining to WMDs, afghan heroin, GFC, trillions lost by the pentagon, torture, surveillance, Libya, funding terror groups...

But what don’t we know

And I’m not even hinting at 9/11

What about the gold at Fort Knox?
We know there are trillions in unfounded pension healthcare but does it even stop there?

Could even this military super power be all bark - a kind of wizard of oz - and behind the screen is more mass incompetence?

The Democrats wont push for Impeachment as Trump in 2020 gives them the best political shot at the Presidency. If Pence does get in then he can dial everything back for a strong run at 2020.

The Republicans might but with Ryan leaving I cant see it anymore. The Uber-Conservatives might derail the Primaries if Trump decides to run again ( I cant see it)

Crikey!!! The Trump probe was NOT based on any official intelligence sources.


Last week the FBI released the original “electronic communication” (EC) documents that underpinned the origin of the FBI counterintelligence operation. The first half of this interview contains some stunning information: the raw intelligence product within the EC did not come through official intelligence channels.

Meaning, the origin of the 2016 counterintelligence operation, which was specifically started by CIA Director John Brennan sharing his ‘raw intelligence product’ with the FBI, was not an official product of the U.S. intelligence community. Brennan was NOT using official partnerships with intelligence agencies of our Five-Eyes partner nations; and he did not provide raw intelligence -as an outcome of those relationships- to the FBI.

The questions, many of which are rhetorical against the backdrop of political motives, become: if the EC is not based on official intelligence from U.S. intelligence apparatus or any of the ‘five-eyes’ partners, then what is the origin, source and purpose therein, of the unofficial raw intelligence? Who created it? And why?
Great questions. Looks to me like the CIA were trying to effect yet another "Regime change" only this one was at home.

Well Rocket Man has responded better to Trump than to Obama. Ditto the Chinese re trade threats, maybe there is method to the madness?

Already more deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize than Obama.

Credit where credit is due.
