I'm beginning to think that the biggest crime in this whole thing is Sessions not resigning or being fired. Surely there is at least one person in the country that could be found who would try and clean up the giant mess that is the DOJ. At this point I'm beginning to believe that Sessions will go down as the worst AG in history. Impossible, trump only hires the best people.

He doesn't have a lot to choose from...look at the last two AG's as well, the tarmac blimp and Eric the-fuckup Holder (the first AG in US history to be held in criminal and civil contempt) Trey Gowdy would have been my choice, but he wants out, of course

Still waiting on the Russian collusion proof Schiff, etc said they saw. Instead, we get this: thehill.com/regulation/399504-mueller-says-manafort-earned-more-than-60m-as-consultant-in-ukraineMueller said government prosecutors expect to prove that Manafort earned the money and failed to report a significant percentage of it on his tax returns. The filing is the first time a tally of Manafort’s earnings in Ukraine has been revealed. “No ‘pay stubs’ or ‘paychecks’ reflect that income, rather, the invoices and bills submitted by various consultants provide proof on that issue,” he said in the filing. “Accordingly, to prove that Manafort earned that much income, the government must be able to show the extent of the work that he performed for Ukraine.” Mueller is fighting Manafort’s request for the court to exclude more than 50 trial exhibits that relate to his political consulting work in Ukraine between 2005 and 2014. Mueller said the challenged exhibits, which include a memoranda, emails and photos reflecting tasks performed, are relevant to establish the extent of Manafort’s work.

I'm in no way an expert in pub ag candidates. For starters though I'd look at pubs in both houses and state ag's. I would bet you could find at least 20 guys/gals, especially if the bar for Sessions being the worst ever is who it is being compared to.

Hopefully they'll punish him just like they did Sharpton. Oh. Wait.

Fuck Collusion, how about conspiracy and money laundering asshole ?!Still has to be proven in a court of law,(which Manafort will get, along with appeals, etc). All this is,(in regards to Manafort), is Mueller settling an old score from back in his FBI days. The Feds, etc tried to get stuff on Manafort about a decade or so ago, never could get anything. Funny thing, Mueller becomes a SI to check for collusion & instead goes after Manafort,(showing his single minded tendencies again). But you don’t care. Violating laws, lying to judges, falsifying intelligence it’s all good as long as they are after the one who causes your butt to hurt.

Would have had a leg to stand on, however both Rosenstein & Wray are on the record several times saying no American willingly assisted Russia, no votes or election outcomes were affected by the minor meddling. Why? They explained its due to Russia trolling instead. Basically, they find a divisive topic and put both sides against each other while they sit back, laugh at the sheep willingly falling for the obvious troll and eating their borscht.

www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-new-emails-reveal-fbi-official-peter-strzok-insisted-on-retaining-declassification-and-other-authorities-for-mueller-special-counsel-assignment/Judicial Watch today released 14 pages of FBI documents concerning the assignment of former FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s operation, showing that Strzok insisted on retaining his FBI security clearance before moving to the Mueller team and confirming that Strzok played a pivotal role in the flawed Hillary Clinton email investigation. www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-foia-documents-strzok-assignment/A series of emails reveal Strzok’s insistence that he retain all the authorities he held as a deputy assistant director (DAD) in the counterintelligence division (CD), including his security clearance, after his reassignment to the special counsel’s office. In a July 13, 2017 email to numerous FBI officials, some of whom are redacted, Strzok says: www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/jw-foia-documents-strzok-assignment-9-10/Broadly, I need to be able to act at least in the capacity of my old CD DAD job – approve NSLs [national security letters], conduct [redacted] declassify information, [redacted] agent travel, requisitions, etc. Of those, the most problematic and one of the most essential is declassification authority. In response, FBI assistant director of the Counterintelligence Division William Priestap assures Strzok he will remain free to act just as he did while a deputy assistant director of the counterintelligence division and, further, that he will remain on the FBI’s books as a “floating DAD:” In answer to your initial question, while assigned to the Special Counsel’s office, you will retain your CD DAD authorities, to include declassification authority. Since you will take your non-transferrable declassification authority with you, CD will work to obtain another declassification authority slot for the DAD who is chosen to replace you. Assuming the 7th floor approves, you will remain on CD’s books as a fourth (floating) DAD. When you move on from your DAD position, your DAD slot will revert back to HRD. ........ President of Judicial Watch Tom Fitton had this to say about the new Strzok emails: “These new emails show anti-Trump FBI official Peter Strzok’s ‘assignment’ gave the Mueller Special Counsel operation special authorities to target President Trump. We know Strzok can’t be trusted and the Special Counsel should tell us if Strzok abused his special authorities to target President Trump.”

Manafort lived an “extravagant lifestyle” fueled by millions of dollars in “secret income” that he earned from his lobbying in Ukraine, said Uzo Asonye, a prosecutor working on the case with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team. Manafort became wealthy from the “cash spigot” that came from working for his “golden goose in Ukraine,” former President Viktor Yanukovych, Asonye said. “All of these charges boil down to one simple issue: that Paul Manafort lied,” Asonye said. “Manafort placed himself and his money over the law.” ...... “This is the way that they required it to be done,” Zehnle said, arguing why oligarchs paid Manafort through secret foreign accounts. Prosecutors said Tuesday that Manafort hid 30 foreign bank accounts from US authorities. Of Manafort’s associates, like longtime deputy Rick Gates, Zehnle said, “he trusted them to speak with one another and make sure things were done right.” Gates pleaded guilty earlier this year to participating in Manafort’s alleged financial conspiracy and is slated to testify against him. ....... www.cnn.com/2018/07/31/politics/manfort-trial-jury-selection/index.htmlAs he started delivering his opening statement, Asonye earned a near-immediate rebuke from Judge T.S. Ellis, who told him not to tell jurors that “the evidence will show” that the allegations against Manafort are true. During his preliminary instructions to the jury, Ellis reminded told jurors that “you and you alone are the sole judges to the facts in this case.” .......

Tucker Carlson: Manafort had his bail revoked. In an unusual penalty for a man with no criminal convictions, he has been held in solitary confinement pretty much ever since for 23 hours a day. Manafort now faces 305 years in prison. That’s several life sentences. So what exactly is Paul Manafort accused of doing? If you guessed murder, guess again. Most murderers don’t get treated like that by the government. The average violent felon in this country receives just six-and-a-half years behind bars. No, Paul Manafort is accused of something far worse than murder – tax evasion and violating banking regulations. The government isn’t even suggesting Manafort stole money from a bank. They say he was dishonest on loan applications. For that: solitary confinement and 305 years in prison… For perspective on that, the average sentence for tax fraud in this country is a year and three months.
