Re: POTUS 46:24 - Donald Trump! Superstar!!

So ... DeutscheBank records ...

The payoff money between Trump and the Ruskies on the collusion was funneled through a German megabank.

Makes as much sense as Flynn lying to the FBI about something he did (something that wasn't illegal) I guess.

I know, I can't imagine that bank would in any way be associated with money laundering for Russia.

Deutsche Bank AG may be close to settling a U.S. Federal Reserve inquiry into how billions of dollars moved through the bank and out of Russia. But it’s still waiting for U.S. prosecutors to resolve a potentially more consequential investigation.

The Fed settlement is being finalized and could be announced in coming weeks, according to people familiar with the situation. They declined to discuss the size of any fine, which would follow $630 million that the German lender has paid the U.K. and New York state over lax anti-money-laundering practices. Officials from Deutsche Bank and the Fed declined to comment.

After a Fed settlement, the remaining question is how hard the U.S. Justice Department might come down on the bank. Federal authorities who can bring criminal cases are investigating how Deutsche Bank helped clients move $10 billion out of Russia from 2011 to 2015, after the bank’s internal review of the trades found “systemic” compliance failures.

Article II said:
The President…shall have the power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.

The obstruction charges made against Nixon were from the House in voting for impeachment. These are not equivalent to criminal charges and are not subject to pardon. I assumed both you and Scooby were speaking about criminal ones. If that was not the case, my apologies.

At the time of Comey's firing, Flynn had not been charged with anything, it was just being investigated.

NOW, dump can pardon Flynn. Not then.

Not quite correct
In 1866, the Supreme Court ruled in Ex parte Garland that the pardon power "extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken, or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment

Come now, whoever heard of two parties in different countries conducting illegal financial exchanges through a party in a third country? That would hardly be sporting to law enforcement.
 
Re: POTUS 46:24 - Donald Trump! Superstar!!

Unless Robert Mueller finds the possibly apocryphal “pee tape,” Republicans are likely to remain loyal to Trump.

How rude. It's a manila envelope. ;)

However, the rest of the piece is dead on:

The most promising route for stopping Trump, then, is through the ballot box. Democrats need a convincing platform and effective organization to win elections at every level. If the party can win back Congress in 2018, it can immediately start hamstringing Trump’s presidency without resorting to the unlikely path of impeachment.

That was fairly well known at the time.
There was much talking-head speculation about it.
And even some of the high-level GOP pondered it.

Yeah and he showed he was a lying weasel when he lied for Trump at the VP debates. You know...like Jesus would.

A private spy network to combat the “deep state” that won’t at all interact with actual intelligence agencies. What could possibly go wrong here...

These great collusion masterminds would really (really?) route their transaction through a traceable bank record.

If they did, they're as dumb as Mike Flynn.

Sometimes this thread challenges my faith in the human ability to reason. It sure enforces my faith that denial is the most potent drug for humankind.

A: "There no evidence. Therefore, there is no collusion. Stop the investigation."

Not A: "There is evidence. If they did it they would not have left records, so there is no collusion. Stop the investigation."

The spies would be “off the books,” sidestepping official U.S. intelligence agencies and would report directly to CIA Director Mike Pompeo, according to current and former U.S. intelligence officials, the Intercept reported.

Sorry, but if Pompeo* doesn't like the make-up of the organization he heads he should not create his own new Praetorian Guard. He should suck it up, fire the problems (you know, do boss things), and hire better people qualified to work for the US Government (e.g. the CIA). This off the books stuff sounds too much like private armies.


*Is he related to "Meredith Grey"? :D
