Hard to believe we have gone over 100 pages in the 1.5 years of this thread.

Good thing only two months have been an election year!

Or, did we have a two tiered justice system that is now being fixed. (ie: who among us would not have been prosecuted for not using a government server and loosing >30,000 emails) Look at the people in Justice and FBI that were involved in Russia Gate/Crossfire Hurricane. Where are they now? Things are happening. Just not at the speed everyone wants.

How does Flynn plea on November 30, 2017, and the next day, the first traunch of texts between Page and Storzk come out? How in the next week is the presiding judge, Rudy Contreras, recused from the case? How does sentencing keep getting postponed for over two years? How does Sydney Powell keep getting new information to file with Judge Sullivan every time the sentencing is about to happen? Who is supplying her with this information? Could it be that the time is not yet right to start wrapping all of these things up? This information Powell is getting can only be coming from within the DOJ, to use against the DOJ prosecutors! By the way, I wouldn't want to be Brandon Van Grack right now. He has to be wondering where is all this stuff coming from and when is he getting nailed for his complicity.


The MSM is pushing fear porn that nothing is happening. This includes people like Hannity and FOX. Their job is to keep people mad and viewing the show. Look for people who are knowledgeable like Brian Cates. Reading a twitter feed is not always easiest, but if it is solid information, rather than fear porn, why not.

Oddly this just came out today and addresses the comments you made in the above post last night.

Look at the Trump associates that were prosecuted for petty crimes that would have been ignored or not even discovered, had they not been associated with Trump. Crimes that had no connection to Trump, or his election. Low hanging fruit.

Early morning FBI raids?

You don't see that happening to the Democrat players. The swamp is protecting it's own.

If I was Barr, I would set up raids on all of them. Hillary.Comey. Brennan. Clapper. Just to name a few. Get the rats to start turning on one another.

The fake dossier, falsified fisa warrants, and spying on Trump, all leads right to the top of the Obama administration.

I don't watch much Fox news,as they have gotten just as bad as most of the MSM. I'm not impatient. I just don't have any faith in Barr, or the DOJ. Maybe a small fish or two will end up indicted to appease the masses. I won't hold my breath on anything significant.

Thank you @Wheels ...I really enjoy your posts!

Very kind of you tarbe!

In December, 2017, I took a couple of weeks to try and figure what was going on politically with all of the investigations and media frenzy. I didn't realize until that point how corrupt things had been in our country, or for how long the corruption had been going on. The koolaid stains were still on my lips.

The sad thing is you can't get the real story out of the main stream media. It is comforting to know there are many excellent, every day American's out there using open source information and coming up with the truth. Some are great researchers. Some are great analysts and a few are both! It takes work to find them, but they are out there. They helped a redneck from Oklahoma figure some things out. I am not much of a researcher, probably to ADD for that. My analysis may be off in left field occasionally, but I am not afraid to think outside of the box. Many of those conclusions prove right, in time, and I try to say this in humility.

Very few people truly knew what was going on two years ago. They were just like I had been. More and more people have figured things out now. As an everyday American, I have felt it is my responsibility to help bring clarity for a few people in my small circle. When things start getting squared away, I will probably fade away from the political forum. Until then........

We are living in the NEW normal.....welcome to the swamp creatures running this country and how we really can not do anything about it....ballot box....ha ha. I have always been wondering how an elected official on the National level enters offfice with a net worth of 200k and retires twenty years later worth 20 million.

The bothersome thing about that is that an honest patriotic motivated representative would enter office and if he/she continued to operate with his/her constituents at heart, refusing to take advantage of inside information that would allow him/her to become millionaire/billionaires then the majority of other reps whom had plunged themselves into the money-making schemes would consider the patriot some sort of imbecilic moron too stupid to grasp reality, and excluded him/her from any positions of power.

Roger Stone, sentenced to 40 months in prison, for witness tampering, and lying to Congress.

Somebody explain to me how many years in prison Adam Schiff is going to get?????

A two tiered, hypocritical, double standard, justice system

I hope that Trump pardons him. That will send these Mueller a-holes into a tailspin.

 

[Ray B]

Roger Stone, sentenced to 40 months in prison

I would say Mr. Stone should be freed on bail/binder while his conviction is being appealed and the jury fore(wo)man is being reviewed along with other improprieties that should result in a new trial.

I would like to see an investigation into the Judge. She seems to be the one regarding Flynn, Mannafort and the others associate with Trump....is she the ONLY Federal judge for the DC district....I feel there should have been a change of Venue on every one of those cases. A Trump supporter getting a fair trial in the DC District is laughable.

Stone - Judge Jackson. When you have a jury foreman that probably lied in voir doir, especially what she lied about, it seems you have a decent chance at a second trial. It would be interesting to know what the judge knew about the foreman before the trial started?

Flynn - Judge Sullivan.

Manafort - Is charged in two districts. DC is Judge Jackson. Eastern District of Virginia is Judge Ellis. Manafort is corrupt and deserves what he gets.


As you can see, the DC District Judges and the DC Circuit Judges are probably left leaning. Trump is changing some Circuits and Districts, but DC will take at least two more terms if not three to change the Circuit. More than that to change the District. Perhaps Pence might be able to flip them.

Some people were wondering why the McCabe lying case was dropped in the past week. Perhaps this explains it. It does seem that McCabe has other charges that are much more serious pending.

Exactly. She is an Obama appointee.

Paying a few bills today and irritating a few liberals when I'm at it.
Clerk at the bank told me to not use 20 for the check but to use 2020.
Just being compliant.

If you gentleman would like to make a detour , our economy in Canada is currently being sacked by a few zealot protesters holding our national rail system hostage. While our left wing participation trophy prime minister stands by and refuses to do anything about it.

I am very displeased with what Trump is doing to this country. I could go on and on about why I feel this way, but it would not be very productive for any of us involved. I will say, though, that as abhorrent I find Trump, I despise the prospect of a Sanders/far left 2020 even more. What we are seeing is the communist (NOT socialist) takeover of the democratic party by the anti-Semitic, anti-capitalist, anti-freedom far left as led by Sanders and his ilk, like Ilhan Omar. As if promoting some of the most disgusting displays of antisemitism I have ever seen in contemporary American politics was not enough, they are hellbent on stripping freedoms from the people and turning over control of our economy to the government. How my fellow citizens on the left can be so taken with this heinous brand of politics truly confounds me. Until I am presented with a reasonable choice of candidate from the left, as well as an uncompromising and absolute rebuke of this far left agenda, I will vote for Trump.

What's amazing to me is that Sanders is Jewish.

What amazes me, is the number of people that actually support that commie shitbag.

I think they are not supporting Sanders as much as the idea that they can get something for free.

Years of participation trophies have instilled the idea that they are entitled and that there's a bunch of rich guys that obtained their wealth by exploiting the vulnerable so the entitled are justified in talking from the rich and distributing to everyone. Unfortunately the school system also failed to teach any sort of critical thinking along with the propaganda.

We had to endure 8 years of Obama. Trudeau, is the same package, in a different color.

 

[Saul]

One could argue that Sanders is not antisemitic and that it is just some members of his base, the same way that one could argue that Trump is not antisemitic (his daughter is Jewish) and it is just some members of his base. The difference is that Trump has made it unequivocally clear that he does not tolerate antisemitism from his supporters, while Sanders has defended and promoted his antisemitic supporters (Omar for example).
