President Trump’s recent denunciations of the Russia investigation recall the famous legal advice: “If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell.”
Trump shouted out his defense earlier this month: “What has been shown is no collusion, no collusion!” he told reporters over the whir of his helicopter on the White House lawn. Since then, Trump’s supporters have been waging a bitter counterattack against special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, alleging bias and demanding: “Investigate the investigators.”
But what do the facts show? There is a growing, mostly undisputed body of evidence describing contacts between Trump associates and Russia-linked operatives. Trump partisans have claimed that Mueller’s investigation is biased because some members of his staff supported Trump’s rival, Hillary Clinton. But Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein disagreed Wednesday, arguing that Mueller “is running his office appropriately.”
As Republicans seek to discredit the investigation, it’s useful to remember just what we’ve learned so far about how the Trump campaign sought harmful information about Clinton from sources that, according to U.S. intelligence, were linked to Moscow. This isn’t a fuzzy narrative where the truth is obscured; in the Trump team’s obsessive pursuit of damaging Clinton emails and other negative information, the facts are hiding in plain sight.
From the start of the campaign, Trump spoke of his affinity for Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Trump’s aides followed his lead. In March 2016, a young adviser named George Papadopoulos met a London professor who introduced him to a Russian woman described as “Putin’s niece.” This began months of efforts by Papadopoulos to broker Trump-Russia contacts, described in the plea agreement that Mueller announced in October.
Russian operatives by that March had already hacked the computers of the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. Through cutouts, the Russians over the next eight months allegedly spooled out damaging information about Clinton to the media, sometimes egged on by Trump and his associates.
Papadopoulos got the first hint the Russians might share Clinton emails in a late-April meeting with the professor, who told him “the Russians had emails of Clinton . . . thousands of emails,” according to the plea agreement.
Dishing dirt on Clinton was the pitch of a June 3 email to Donald Trump Jr. from the publicist for Russian oligarch Aras Agalarov’s pop-singer son. He said Russian authorities “offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary.”
Don Jr. eagerly met Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya on June 9 at Trump Tower. When she claimed that an anti-Putin U.S. businessman had looted money from Russia, Don Jr. pressed her: “He asked if I had any financial documents from which it would follow that the funds stolen from Russia were then involved in financing the Clinton’s Foundation,” she told the Senate Judiciary Committee last month.
Trump’s hunt for Clinton emails continued in June, when Jared Kushner hired Cambridge Analytica to do campaign research. The firm learned that WikiLeaks planned to publish a stash of the Clinton material, and Cambridge Analytica’s chief executive asked Julian Assange “if he might share that information with us,” according to the Wall Street Journal. Trump promised “very, very interesting” revelations about Clinton in June, the same month an alleged Russian cutout dubbed “Guccifer 2.0” began leaking DNC documents.
WikiLeaks dumped nearly 20,000 Clinton emails on July 22. Three days later, Trump tweeted: “The new joke in town is that Russia leaked the disastrous DNC e-mails . . . because Putin likes me.” Two days after that, at a July 27 news conference, Trump said: “Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing.”
Roger Stone, a Trump friend and sometime adviser, kept beating the WikiLeaks drum through August 2016, saying he was communicating with Assange and that more damaging Clinton leaks were coming. WikiLeaks contacted Don Jr., too, in five messages that continued until Election Day.
U.S. intelligence agencies said on Jan. 6, 2017, they had “high confidence” that Russian intelligence had used WikiLeaks and Guccifer 2.0 “to release U.S. victim data obtained in cyber operations.” CIA Director Mike Pompeo has since described WikiLeaks as a “hostile intelligence service.”
The next time Trump demands a probe of Mueller’s investigation or the FBI’s handling of Clinton emails, remember that he isn’t arguing the facts or the law about collusion with Russia. He’s pounding the table.

plus mueller now has tens of thousands of emails from 12 accounts. the contents of these emails are the basis for questions he is asking. may be why junior and others have been brought back for additional questioning. trump's legal team did not even know mueller had these emails until this week.

Maybe, just maybe, its time for Team Trump Treason to put up or shut up. Nothing to hide. No business with or in Russia, Russia, Russia. No collusion. Team Trump Treason doesn't know anyone in Russia, yadda, yadda, yadda, Quit 'yer yapping.
If, of course, Trump’s legal team went to court, it would need a viable legal claim. Legal experts are flummoxed as to what the basis might be for challenging the acquisition of documents relevant to the Russia inquiry. (Fear of gross embarrassment isn’t a legitimate one.) For one thing, Trump would have to attack his own appointees at the GSA for turning over the documents, which cannot by definition be covered by presidential executive privilege because Trump wasn’t yet president. The Post quotes former prosecutor Randall Eliason as saying that the transition emails are “not your personal email. If it ends in .gov, you don’t have any expectation of privacy.” Likewise, Ben Wittes of Lawfare blog tells me, “When you use government devices you do so with the explicit understanding that you have no expectation of privacy. Moreover, if there is a complaint here, it is a complaint about GSA for overbroad production, not against Mueller for seeking materials that are obviously germane to his investigation.”
Former Justice Department spokesman Matthew Miller tells me, “This was a transparent attempt to continue stoking conspiracy theories about Mueller among Republicans in Congress, the right-wing media and the Republican grass-roots. The best evidence that the Trump team knows their claims are bogus is that they sent this letter to Congress, rather than filed a motion in court, where any claims would be adjudicated based on the facts and the law, not on hysterical nonsense.” He continues, “The letter claimed transition emails were private, but raised privileges that are only available inside the government. It claimed releasing them was against the law, but asked Congress to change the law to forbid it in the future. It implied that what Mueller and the GSA did was inappropriate, but sought relief from Congress, rather than the courts.” He jokes, “Other than that, it was brilliant!”
Other experts agree. “The GSA has said that transition officials were specifically told that messages on their devices ‘would not be held back [from] law enforcement’ and that ‘no expectation of privacy can be assumed,’ ” Jordan Libowitz from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington said via email to Right Turn. “If they thought they had a legal case, they would have made it in court. Even Trey Gowdy has said that the courts are the appropriate venue. But they didn’t file anything with the courts, because this is just a political move meant to attack public opinion of the Mueller investigation.”
You think you're so smart, don't you Donny? Professor, was that you?
So we know more Dems and Obama officials are begging for Trump to fire Mueller than GOP or TTT, now lets see how many Trump Team Treasoners refuse congressional testimony or plead the 5th as compared to DOJ/Obama officials.... anyone counting?

It's funny how people are so worked up over something that could very well have been a joke....also funny they are so worked up over this despite the guy being removed by Mueller as soon as he found out.....also funny to see people constantly reply to their own posts for some reason.
Look everyone! Randy Paul is kissing Team Trump Treason’s ass and licking his boots, all while remaining silent on Roy “Diddle” Moore. Maybe birds of a feather do flock together?
rumor around the campfire is it is kushner and jr. just in time for the end of hannukah and just before christmas.
I’m dreaming of a cell block Christmas, just like the one Jared’s dad used to know. Unfortunately, we won’t get a perp walk and they won’t have to spend the weekend in jail awaiting arraignment and posting bail. White privilege will ensure that.
The panels knew Kaveladze was at the June 9, 2016 meeting but became more interested in him after learning he also attended a private dinner in Las Vegas in 2013 with Trump and Agalarov as they celebrated an agreement to hold that year's Miss Universe pageant in Moscow, the sources said.
Committee members now want to know more about the extent of Kaveladze's contacts with the Trump family and whether he had a bigger role than previously believed in setting up the Trump Tower meeting when Trump was a Republican candidate for president.
The White House declined to comment. Mueller's office also declined to comment.
The pictures were found by a University of California at Irvine student and blogger Scott Stedman, who posted them on Nov. 22. Aras Agalarov is a billionaire property developer in Russia who was awarded the Order of Honor by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Several U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said Mueller's team and the committees are looking for any evidence of a link between the Trump Tower meeting and the release six weeks later of emails stolen from Democratic Party organizations.
They are also trying to determine whether there was any discussion at the New York meeting of lifting U.S. economic sanctions on Russia, a top priority for Putin, the officials said.
Rob Goldstone, a British publicist, told Trump Jr. ahead of the New York meeting that Russian lawyer Veselnitskaya would be bringing damaging information about donations to a charity linked to Trump's Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, according to emails later released by Trump Jr.
Trump Jr. initially said the meeting was about Russian adoptions but later said it also included Veselnitskaya's promises of information on the donations to the Clinton charity. He said he ultimately never received the information, although it was later posted on the Internet.

But now, as Trump prepares to end his first year in office, the witch hunt narrative may have outlived its usefulness. Mueller’s investigation has expanded and gained serious traction: The president’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, and Manafort’s chief deputy, Rick Gates, have been indicted. His former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, has pleaded guilty and is now a cooperating witness. So too is a former foreign policy adviser, George Papadopoulos, who has admitted lying to the FBI about repeated contacts with alleged Russian cutouts who had offered the Trump campaign “dirt” on Hillary Clinton in the form of “thousands of emails.”
As described by sources familiar with various aspects of the investigation, the Mueller probe is fast approaching a critical crossroads. The president’s lawyers, Ty Cobb and John Dowd, are pressing Mueller to wind down the investigation and exonerate their client, which they have assured the president will happen by early next year.
But the sources familiar with the probe say that such a rapid conclusion is — as one put it — “fanciful.” Mueller and his team, they say, are pursuing new leads, interrogating new witnesses and collecting a mountain of new evidence, including subpoenaed bank records and thousands of emails from the campaign and the Trump transition.
In just the last few weeks, his prosecutors have begun questioning Republican National Committee staffers about the party digital operation that worked with the Trump campaign to target voters in key swing states. They are seeking to determine if the joint effort was related to the activities of Russian trolls and bots aimed at influencing the American electorate, according to two of the sources.
Oh, Oh! Are you sure there is no "there", there? Careful how yo answer those questions, low level repube staffer at the RNC. What exactly did Reince direct you to do? Have you ever heard of Congressman Rohrbacher? And what was his role? Feelings, nothing more than feelings.
Shits about to go down! How much loyalty do you think Flynn holds for Team Trump Treason? How much? Any guesses?
President Trump’s legal team plans to cast former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn as a liar seeking to protect himself if he accuses the president or his senior aides of any wrongdoing, according to three people familiar with the strategy.
The approach would mark a sharp break from Trump’s previously sympathetic posture toward Flynn, whom he called a “wonderful man” when Flynn was ousted from the White House in February. Earlier this month, the president did not rule out a possible pardon for Flynn, who is cooperating with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Attorneys for Trump and his top advisers have privately expressed confidence that Flynn does not have any evidence that could implicate the president or his White House team. But since Flynn’s cooperation agreement with prosecutors was made public earlier this month, the administration has been strategizing how to neutralize him in case the former national security adviser does make any claims.
I wonder how old Reincey Boy is feeling about the New Year? And how all of those who’ve taken positions within Team Trump Treason feel about their job prospects in 2019? Can Breitbart hire them all?

President Trump’s legal team plans to cast former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn as a liar seeking to protect himself if he accuses the president or his senior aides of any wrongdoing, according to three people familiar with the strategy.
The approach would mark a sharp break from Trump’s previously sympathetic posture toward Flynn, whom he called a “wonderful man” when Flynn was ousted from the White House in February. Earlier this month, the president did not rule out a possible pardon for Flynn, who is cooperating with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Attorneys for Trump and his top advisers have privately expressed confidence that Flynn does not have any evidence that could implicate the president or his White House team. But since Flynn’s cooperation agreement with prosecutors was made public earlier this month, the administration has been strategizing how to neutralize him in case the former national security adviser does make any claims.
So? Is he a "wonderful man" or isn't he?
