Just in from htraE: Trump Knows the Feds Are Closing In on Him |
2017-03-08 |
[ForeignPolicy] The president’s recent tweets aren’t just conspiratorial gibberish ‐ they’re the erratic ravings of a guilty conscience. ... There is a good reason why Trump and his partisans are so apoplectic about the prospect of a special counsel, and it is precisely why it is imperative to appoint one: because otherwise we will never know the full story of the Kremlin’s tampering with our elections and of the Kremlin’s connections with the president of the United States. As evidenced by his desperate attempts to change the subject, Trump appears petrified of what such a probe would reveal. Wonder why? Sheesh. |

#15 I think that appointing a special councel to investigate who signed the warrant to investigate Trump in August and what was its contents and what was the reason for its denial, if any of these things happened. Also it would be nice to discover the sources of the leaks to the press of an ongoing government investigation of the Trump campaign. A prosecutor as persistent as Fitzgerald in his pursuit of Libby after knowing Libby had nothing to do with the leak to Novak (a journalist was jailed for months by him) might ferret out interesting things. Trey Gowdy would do a good job at this. That justice department officials thought it appropriate to have government resources investigate the candidate for presidency of the out party has an unpleasant odor to it. |

#14 Max Boot is another pundit I was enjoyed, when he talked about foreign policy and war. Now it doesn't seem as if his judgement is all that solid. Makes me sad. |

#13 Trump appears petrified of what such a probe would reveal. Wonder why? As per usual Boot is long on innuendo and short on insight. Say for the sake of argument there is a "Kremlingate" as he puts it. Notice, he never actually suggests what nefarious activities may have occurred or how they changed events? That's because the anticlimactic answer would reveal what is already known. That is a presumably foreign entity hacked into the DNC server and HRC staff email. They then leaked information proving the Democrats primary was rigged and Clinton had lied about her private server and pay-for-play as SoS. The damage was to HRC not for DJT. No amount of collusion could have changed that outcome. |

#7 @#3: I am truly gobsmacked at this "police certificate" requirement. Is the expectation that, upon reaching xx years of age, all males must present themselves to the local PD to get their "papers?" Chilling. |

#6 I wonder if this is projection from dems worried about Obama's imminent hacking investigation. |

#4 The news that the CIA is pining hacking on the Russians has really muddied the waters. I kinda doubt we will ever know the truth, without a major Deepthroat. |

#3 Well I don't need it. I was at two job interviews this week --- for school teacher position, and one of the first questions they ask is if I have a police certificate that I'm not a sex offender (only for males - female teachers don't need them). |
