russia interference, trump, collusion, etc

[Philly]

I'm with exploited on the prediction that the russia thing itself isn't what Trump is trying to hide. It's what else might be found when you start poking around in his shit.

[The Comrade]

well they're interconnected. his collusion with russia is tied right in with his money laundering and breaking of embargoes.

I just don't see how this isn't related anymore. It might be impossible to prove but Trump Jr, Manafort, etc met with Russian lawyer and others to discuss "adoptions" as per Trump Jr. himself! And indirect admission that the Trump campaign was talking about the Magnitsky act in the Trump tower with Russian representatives. You can't tell me, with a straight face, that Trump had no idea this occurred. You just can't. While I think it probably right that Trump is far more vulnerable on unrelated crimes it still stands to point out that this was pretty blatant and that what we have available to us publicly paints a very disturbing picture.

And now, you have the acting AG appearing to have lied to several committees!

With Trump the issue is of course money laundering and that's because there's a trail that you can track which will provide evidence not dependent on people's words.

There has been a great deal of suggestive evidence that I've seen, but I am not following the investigation at this point.

All of the stuff I think I know is probably outdated or has been advanced or dispelled by now. I'm waiting for Mueller to release his findings, and that's that.

Trunmp called Putin Tuesday and congratulated him on his electoral victory.

"Ryan McAvoy left his ProtonMail passwords and email address on a piece of White House stationery at a bus stop near the White House, The Intercept reported Saturday. "

Cambrdige Analytica used ProtonMail to destroy emails once they've been read.

This might explain the Hicks statement: "A former spokesman for President Trump’s legal team is reportedly planning to tell special counsel Robert S. Mueller III that White House Communications Director Hope Hicks said Donald Trump Jr.’s emails about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians “will never get out” in a previously undisclosed conference call, according to the New York Times."

I think CA is a huge piece of the puzzle here.

Steve Bannon was a VP at CA. It was bankrolled by the Mercers.

"There are other dramatic documents in Wylie’s stash, including a pitch made by Cambridge Analytica to Lukoil, Russia’s second biggest oil producer. In an email dated 17 July 2014, about the US presidential primaries, Nix wrote to Wylie: “We have been asked to write a memo to Lukoil (the Russian oil and gas company) to explain to them how our services are going to apply to the petroleum business. Nix said that “they understand behavioural microtargeting in the context of elections” but that they were “failing to make the connection between voters and their consumers”. The work, he said, would be “shared with the CEO of the business”, a former Soviet oil minister and associate of Putin, Vagit Alekperov."

There's your link to Russia. Keep in mind that these are media reports, and Mulleur has proven time and time again that he's ahead of press on this...

Might explain the panic.

Yeah, I think it's going to take some time to get at what this all really amounts to. On its face it looks pretty suspect - the comments by the executives are just damning.
