TrumpPutingate III: the beginning of the end

You never cease to amaze me with the pathetic drivel you spout.

Ridiculous post.

He took over for OuterSpace. Where he be at?

Hopefully, he pulled a VolProf. Actually, I miss them both. They make the rest of us look sane. Well, most of us.

I scored pretty high on the Wunderlich test last year (better than most quarterbacks that were 45 years younger) , and that requires quick thinking. Don't measure my corn by your own half-bushel.

I'm not doubting your intelligence; I recognized it early on. And I'm all about intelligence tests. Whatever you scored last year, you would have scored at least 10% higher 20 years ago. I can use a half-bushel to measure anyone's corn.

Good riddance to both of them

Get a sense of humor.

Plus, Q backs me up on my theory.

I've been distracted by Vegas, but am I reading correctly that Trump said that Manafort had nothing to do with his campaign?????

Is he fj#&@! serious with that? Reporters need to start just asking him all the time in unison "What the f is wrong with you? Why do you insist on constantly lying about everything ? Even when there is no chance you can get away with it?"

The guy has at least a serious personality disorder.

Here’s what Trump said about Paul Manafort — hours before he was sent to jail

Here’s what Trump said about Paul Manafort — hours before he was sent to jail

He said "has" (Present tense) which implies he currently does not work for his campaign, which is accurate.

Literally two sentences later, he then admits that Manafort did work for his campaign for a short period of time. Based on the timeline, Manafort joined the Trump campaign on March 29, 2016 and he resigned in August 2016, which is a relatively short period of time.

How did Trump lie again?

First, he caught himself lying clearly and just tried to cover. Lamely.

Second, he makes it sound like the guy had no role of any significance. He was the manager.

This constant effort to distance himself from Russian agents is just sad.

That's almost five months. That's not a "relatively short period of time" at all. The Trump campaign didn't start until June of 2015, so it only lasted a total of 17 months from the day he announced he was running until the election (6/15/15 - 11/08/16). That is roughly 30% of the time. That is actually longer than both Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon were with the Trump campaign. Manafort was also manager of the campaign during a pivotal time during the 2016 Republican National Convention when Trump was having a hard time bringing the party together.

Manafort's role in the campaign was significant and so was the amount of time he spent with the campaign. Trump has tried to diminish both Manafort's time with the campaign as well as his function to distance himself from Manafort's nefarious activities. That's dishonest.

Bottom line: Paul Manafort was with the Trump 2016 Presidential campaign for 30% of it's total duration and played a very important role while he was there... and that was during a pivotal time.

They put a innocent man (so far) behind bars, because of tampering? Why didn’t they take all his electronic communication devices instead?

Had this been a Dem, they’d be screeching.

Federal prosecutors in New York revealed on Friday that they had pieced back together shredded documents found during search-warrant raids in April targeting Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s longtime personal attorney.

Lawyers from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan also said they’d managed to download the contents of one old BlackBerry found in the raids, as well as messages from encrypted apps, including WhatsApp and Signal, found on newer phones.


“Approximately 731 pages of messages, including call logs,” were found on those apps and were turned over to Cohen’s lawyers on Friday to be reviewed for potentially privileged materials like attorney-client communications, as well as “highly personal” information, prosecutors said.

This is pure semantics. Anyone's perception of a length of time is relative. I'm sure during the heat of the campaign, it felt like a short amount of time to Trump. Why do you always attribute malice to every damn thing he says? Oh, I get it, he's not a liberal, so there has to be some hidden evil message in everything he says.

Furthermore, Manafort was the campaign chairman ( an actually significant role) for only 3 months from May 2016 to August 2016.

3/17 ~ 18% of the campaign. That still leaves 82%, the vast majority of the campaign, where Manafort did not have a significant role other than having a brief stint making phone calls in an attempt to reunite the R base (before he became chairman).

Manafort's role in the campaign was significant and so was the amount of time he spent with the campaign. Trump has tried to diminish both Manafort's time with the campaign as well as his function to distance himself from Manafort's nefarious activities. That's dishonest.

Manafort did have a significant role in the campaign; this is well documented fact. I know you liberals think Trump is stupid, but you know he's not stupid enough to downplay Manafort's role. Trump here is simply disavowing Manafort and is distancing himself from him, which is perfectly fine. Who in their right mind wouldn't distance themselves from someone just charged with a crime they didn't know about?

Bottom line: Paul Manafort was with the Trump 2016 Presidential campaign for 30% of it's total duration and played a very important role while he was there... and that was during a pivotal time.

None of the charges that have been levied against Manafort by Mueller have anything to do with his time during the Trump campaign but rather his time with the Hapsburg group, which dates all the way back to 2011. A simple vetting would not have discovered Manafort's crimes. Trump was not a government official at the time and did not have the security clearance to access documents on Manafort's dealings with this group.

Maybe if the FBI spies in Trump's campaign had warned Trump beforehand about this criminal character, he wouldn't have hired Manafort to begin with. :dunno:

manafort was a RUSSIAN agent, bottom line! An unregistered foreign agent just like flynn. Both were working for oligarchs.

It has always been 18 months, which puts it at July 21st.

So, 35 or 36 days.

Sounds like they went to great efforts trying to find something. Where was that effort when they were looking into Hillary's emails? Sounds extremely disproportionate, but I'm sure it had nothing to do with political bias. Nope, not at all.
