Ah, noted.  It's a significant distinction in a legal outcomes sense, not so much in terms of public revelation and understanding.  I'd be interested to better understand the nature of the decision not to name Trump as un-indicted co-conspirator, and if that reflects any obstacles to SDNY actually naming him as one while a sitting POTUS.

Another note is that the SDNY indictment does not say that Individual-1 instructed him to do anything.  That came from his testimony to congress.  Individual-1's wrongdoing in the indictment is all implicit.  Make of that what you will.

The importance of being a co-conspirator is that all conspirators have the same liability:  they are, if proven, all guilty of the offense that is the object of the conspiracy.

So because you "can sleep at night" that means we're absolved of all wrongdoing overseas in meddling with other elections, carry no blame for the rise of Putin, and are therefore justified in "going to war" with the Russians over this?  You're right.  The stupid.  It burns.

No one here supports Putin you simple fuck.  Just some of us don't have our heads so far up our own asses that we realize this whole situation came about because of the US' actions.  We've done shit far and away worse to Russia than Putin has ever done to us.  Dude sucks.  He's also our fault.

Oh, and I've yet to see any of you mention how the Mueller report shows how this entire Russia interference should be laid right at Obama's feet.  The Russians started these shenanigans back in 2014.  Obama and his crew knew.  They chose to do dick all about it.  Then, when they finally got around to imposing some sanctions they were literally the least and most ineffective ones they could pass.  So Obama knew, did nothing, let it continue, passed some weak ass sanctions which were just symbolic, and then proceeded to gaslight the American people saying shit like "No one can rig an election" and acting like everything was hunky fucking dory.

Learn some history, my ass.  You're not even remotely acquainted to recent history.  Oh, that's right.  Because it conflicts with your own partisan bullshit.  Democratic Presidents have completely dropped the ball and fucked us, but MUH TRUMP!!

I'm not a Democrat, and your both-sidist approach is not only predictable, it's reductive and silly.

Is this the part where you put your fingers in your ears and yelll "yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayaayayayayayay.....I can't hear you" while clearly ignoring your writings on this thread alone promising, nay, "knowing" the opposite conclusion would be forth coming....if only we would wait and stop all other legislation in Congress and reporting in the media...you, know, just until Mueller is NOT fired and is allowed to show us the burning bush that makes all of this better?

 

That was you, Jimmy....you and those like you....right here on this thread and other places who have now some how doubled down on what would be an embarassing miscalcualtion for any reeasonable being...you are going back in....you were right damn it.!.....TURN THOSE MAMACHINES BACK ON!!!!!!  TURN THOSE MACHINES BACK ON!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

pro tip-----you think you hate Trump now, wait until he is a  2nd term lame duck and his fucking insanity really show up, a position you and your pals in denial are rushing him towards at warp speed now.

Yeah, you're not.  You're a mouth breathing fuckwit who wishes he could come close to Hugo's level of pathetic.  You're a laughingstock everywhere on this site outside of this one forum.

I actually have some respect for real Democrats.  You on the other hand?

man I'm approaching the 300 page mark and it's a beat down.  a total beat down.  just finished the comey loyalty section.  asking his admin to write memos to say he didn't ask Flynn to lie, demanding loyalty denying one on one meetings, those meetings corroborated by multiple folks.  and on and on.  then Mueller goes through the elements of obstruction, doesn't conclude but establishes all elements met.  holy. fuck.  and that's only the first major count.  more to come but it's so damning and so intense I need to stop and take a break.

Yep the president is a criminal. We already knew that but now there’s proof.

Love the lawyers don’t take notes bit. Yeah, mob lawyers don’t take notes. We have a mobster in the White House, and a really dumb one to boot because if trump hadnt been born rich, he’d have been shot by the mob long before now.

stacked a "special prosecution" with your target's political opponents as "investigators?"

allowed nothing else to move through Congress while your assinine "investigation" took forever to reveal what any unbiased observer KNEW what it would reveal?

Now...you want more "proof" that you can ignore as you have done since this thing has started.?   You want to repeat the same exercise that has gotten you, politcally, right where you are now....cuz this time, damn it....this tiime I can really mean it ....and hurl personal insults as a way of deflection and snarkiness, protected fully by the left wing moderation of this forum on this site.

The report identifies and analyzes 10 episodes of concern in the obstruction investigation:

- conduct involving then-FBI Director Comey and Michael Flynn;
- the president’s reaction to the continuing Russia investigation;
- the president’s termination of Comey;
- the appointment of a special counsel and efforts to remove him;
- efforts to curtail the special counsel’s investigation;
- efforts to prevent public disclosure of evidence;
- further efforts to have the attorney general take control of the investigation;
- efforts to have White House Counsel Don McGahn deny that the president had ordered him to have the special counsel removed;
- conduct toward Flynn, Manafort, and a redacted individual (likely Roger Stone); and
- conduct involving Michael Cohen.

Each episode includes a detailed set of factual findings and then analyzes how the evidence maps onto the criminal charge of obstruction, which requires (1) an obstructive act; (2) a nexus with an official proceeding; and (3) a corrupt intent.

The critical point is that in six of these episodes, the special counsel’s office suggests that all of the elements of obstruction are satisfied.

In the cases of Comey’s firing, Trump’s effort to fire Mueller and then push McGahn to lie about it, and Trump’s effort to curtail the scope of the investigation, Mueller describes “substantial” evidence that Trump intended to obstruct justice.

Only in one instance—concerning Trump’s effort to prevent the release of emails regarding the Trump Tower meeting—does the special counsel seem to feel that none of the three elements of the obstruction offense were met.

The only barrier that blocked Bernie was getting less votes in the primary.

Explain to me what a "superdelegate" is, and contrast the role of "superdelegates" in Democratic party primaries to their absence in the GOP primary.

Hillary’s primary flaw was that right wing media, talking heads, and Fox News lambasted her for decade so that people just assumed Hillary = corruption, even though there isn’t any evidence.

That wasn't her primary flaw. Her primary flaw is a lack of charisma, which is the prime requisite of a politician.

Furthermore, she came to power on the coattails of her husband, revealed herself when she stood beside him when any self-respecting woman should have dumped him, making her an Anti-Feminist Icon. This could have been forgiven if she'd displayed competence: She failed spectacularly in both of the major political roles she was given, first when constructing the Healthcare bill in the 1990s and later with the "Reset Button" debacle as SecState. Last, she had health issues that prevented her from campaigning and, worse, failed to even show up to a battleground state.

Furthermore, as a founding member of the faction of the Democrats that supported NAFTA, and pro-big-business goals, she was a literal icon of everything blue-collar America had once supported Democrats to fight against. Bernie and Trump both made appeals to that segment; she was the antithesis of that. And those are the voters who put Trump in over Hillary in the Rust Belt.

You can spin the narrative all you like and blame random things, but she was a terrible candidate. The Democratic party thought they could simply coronate her and get the First Woman President without regard to whether or not she was the right woman to be President, and made her happen through back-room deals with Superdelegates. Trump is the result of that failure.

Furthermore, the Democrats were more than happy to expand the powers of the POTUS while they had the White House for 8 years, without taking into account the possibility that there might someday be a GOP president. The GOP Senate, and Mitch McConnell, are making that same mistake now.

She was a shitty candidate.

take the loss, pussies. 

Is that what you think this is? A sporting event? A game? "Us vs them?" Dude, we are all in this mess together, and Trump is not on your side, or is he on America's side. He is only on his own side, and nothing about what is good for Trump is going to be good for you, unless you happen to be one of the many people who somehow manages to get into his graces for three months before he tosses you into the garbage.

Be better. Because if you can't, America will get worse.

I had this message here for years and "prosecutorial discretion" and "if you don't like it, get more people to vote for your side, pusssy" were bandied about to the absolute glee of posters like Jimmyjazz and Wildcat......

 

self reflection is a mother fucker.....I get that.....sorry it sucks for them, but this is a boat  race to the bottom now and they didn't care and now I certainly don't.....burn this bitch down..but don't act sanctimonious while lighting the match.

Bernie lost the primary. It is simple. He didn't get enough votes. He wasn't blocked. He lost.

Have you not read any of his ravings? They read like they’re from a man who wants to kill a bunch of us. Or, probably more accurately, he wants his dear leader to kill a bunch of us, while he watches and shouts at us about how we made him do it.

No wonder y'all have sided with the Russians. No wonder.

Remember when the GOP was the party that fought Russia? That tried to be better than they were? That's the GOP I want back.

Bernie lost the primary because he got fewer votes. Not because of super delegates or because anything was rigged. More people voted for HRC than for Bernie.
