Are you going to bitch about the million and a half bucks Trump gets?

Donald Trump - $1.5M

Topping the list by a longshot is billionaire birther and infamous reality-TV host Donald Trump. “The Donald earned a staggering $1.5 million per speech at The Learning Annex’s ‘real estate wealth expos’ in 2006 and 2007,” according to Forbes. “Trump appeared at 17 seminars and collected this fee for each one.”

Trump and Hillary are both pretty loathsome. But the really ugly guy is Mueller, who has a disgusting history of acting as a secret police agent in the FBI, using it to persecute political figures that were deemed inconvenient by the crowd that pulls the strings on these federal police agencies.

He trained under J. Edger, I think he's perfect to pursue the Trumpster!

Trump surrogate Christopher Ruddy was on Don Lemon trying to dismiss this as a nothing burger. What a sleazy fat lying pig. Trump's bff is Jabba the Hut.

They are ALL sleazeball lying scumbags.

Dirty tricks to take down a dirty dog.

I love it when Trump Dopes/Dupes show how scared they are he's going to be caught.

No they both aren't "pretty loathsome". One is a standard Washington pol. The other is attempting to destroy American democracy and cast himself as an evil orange dictator who wants to be BFFs with Nazis.

Your Mueller thing falls apart instantly when you know (which you didn't) that he was appointed by Bush II in 2001.

Mueller is doing such a great job uncovering the collusion that a "conservative" GOP congressman is now proposing Congress should cut off funding for the investigation. This measure would be included in the upcoming spending legislation.

Once funding is cut, Mueller would have only 180 days in which to continue the collusion investigation.

But wait, there's more. At the end of that 6 month period, the amendment would also prevent the special counsel from looking into "matters occurring before June 2015"-- a crucial time period for the special counsel to investigate, as President Trump formally declared his candidacy in a speech from Trump Tower on June 16, 2015.

But wait, there's still more. If the congressman has his way the scope of the investigation would be significantly narrowed to prevent the same kind of fishing expedition done to Hillary Clinton during the BENGHAZI investigation. That investigation, you might remember, spanned two years, thirty-three hearings in congressional investigations and four public hearings, and cost over $7 million. All to state that the CIA and the military acted properly in responding to the 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, and asserted no wrongdoing by Obama administration appointees.

The congressman released a statement saying that the special counsel "didn't identify a crime to be investigated and practically invites a fishing expedition" and calls on Congress to "clarify the scope and limit the duration of this investigation."

Apparently in the congressman's opinion a presidential campaign acting in coordination with a foreign government to interfere in our elections is not a crime. At least if you're a Republican. I wonder how the congressman would feel if Hillary had won the election and the exact same evidence was produced?

It shouldn't take more than 180 days to wrap this up. Trump's crimes have been so outrageous and obvious that Mueller should be able to handle that deadline easily.

I strongly doubt they'll find anything illegal. Unethical, yes. After all, this is politics. But no impeachable crime. And June, 2015 is a good cutoff date. Trump wasn't a candidate until then. Otherwise, why not go back to the stick of gum he swiped from the candy store when he was ten years old?

Jeez, that one isn't even a thing now. Mueller is trying to come up with a new crime.

*crack*

Get ready for the next plot twist: NBC News reported Thursday afternoon that in Manafort’s notes from the June meeting, the word “donations” appears near a reference to the Republican National Committee.) These new emails show that Trump, in a business context, was reaching out to Russia.

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_...mpaign_to_make_trump_tower_moscow_happen.html

Manafort is under investigation both by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the New York attorney general, who are sharing information on the case. The prospect of charges from the State of New York neutralizes Donald Trump’s ability to protect Manafort through the kind of pardon he recently gave to ex-sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Paul Manafort made notes at that meeting on his cellphone.

Remember when Donald Trump Jr. told Sean Hannity that the meeting was so uninteresting that Manafort spent it looking at his phone? Now we know why.

Wonkette is on it!

BREAKING: Manafort’s Notes From Russian Spy Meeting Are Real And They Are SPECTACULAR

BREAKING ACHTUNG NEWSFLASH in what may be the dumbest, most in-your-face collusion/conspiracy/scandal of all time. NBC’s Ken Dilanian reports that at Donald Trump Jr.’s Russian conspiracy meeting with the Kremlin-connected lawyer and the Russian spies, then-campaign chair Paul Manafort took a bunch of notes on his flip phone, and they said things like “RNC” and “donations.” Specifically those words were really close to each other, and sources call the notes Manafort took very “cryptic.” Take it away, Dilanian!

"Manafort’s notes, typed on a smart phone and described by one briefed source as cryptic, were turned over to the House and Senate intelligence committees and to Special Counsel Robert Mueller. They contained the words “donations,” and “RNC” in close proximity, the sources said."

How would you know? You don't seem aware of the topic under discussion most of the time.

Carnal when you say lock them all up you mean both Clinton's and Obama and all their liars and corrupt people too right? After all there is over whelming evidence of Clinton, Rice, Obama, Reed, etc. being corrupt and lying to Congress and taking money from crooks and interfering with the American election process so you want them behind bars as well as anyone else correct? Even CNN came out against the former FBI Director who was part of the bribe with the AG under Obama on dropping the investigation against Clinton.

Of course if you do not come out against Obama and Clinton as strong as you do about Trump it means that you are not serious and that you are just part of the problem. Lying. So far Trump has cooperated and they have found nothing, whereas the Clinton's had over whelming evidence of her crimes, but none of the leftist on here are on their high horse and demanding moral justice against her.

Without asking for investigations against all and demanding those who have been proven guilty go to jail than your words and the people you use as a source on here mean nothing.

And remember this guy and the people he has hired are former Clinton people and are not out for justice, but to overthrow and corrupt the American government. They lost the election and Clinton is at the most polite statement, one hell of a sore loser and it was she who lost the election, not for any other reason or person.

Besides we all know that you are just pulling our legs with your foolishness. No American can really take the lies and fake reports that the communists left put on as real or true in any way. It's just a way to get people's goat and a good laugh.

Oh, and when it comes to "donations" remember the Clinton's took over $150 million dollars from the Russians. (that's only the amount they admit to) The Russians would not give them that kind of money if they didn't want her to win and if they couldn't buy her like a street corner whore. No disrespect to the working gals.

Is Robert Mueller Wiping His Ass With Trump’s Tax Returns RIGHT NOW? Sure, Maybe!

Another day, another big update in the Trump-Russia investigation! Special counsel Robert Mueller, who has been following the money this whole time, is now working directly with the IRS. Uh oh, ‘sketti oh! In fact, according to the Daily Beast, he loves working with this particular division of the IRS, the Criminal Investigations unit, because its investigators are REALLY GOOD at shaking their abacuses around and saying “Ta-da! Here are the crimes!”

This unit—known as CI—is one of the federal government’s most tight-knit, specialized, and secretive investigative entities. Its 2,500 agents focus exclusively on financial crime, including tax evasion and money laundering. A former colleague of Mueller’s said he always liked working with IRS’ special agents, especially when he was a U.S. Attorney.

The Daily Beast notes that there’s something about this news that goes without saying. What goes without saying, Daily Beast?

And it goes without saying that the IRS has access to Trump’s tax returns—documents that the president has long resisted releasing to the public.

Click to expand...

The Daily Beast explains why this might be very bad news for Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort (whom Mueller is trying to flip), just like all things are bad news for Paul Manafort these days:

Former federal prosecutors tell The Daily Beast one of Manafort’s biggest legal liabilities could be to what’s called a “check the box” prosecution. Federal law requires that people who have money in foreign bank accounts check a box on their tax returns disclosing that. And there’s speculation that Manafort may have neglected to check that box, which would be a felony. This is exactly the kind of allegation the IRS would look into.

So much uh-oh! Considering the sheer number of foreign payments Manafort has received over the past few years, we wouldn’t be surprised if even he had no idea where all the bank accounts his (allegedly!) laundered paychecks have been going.
