Yesterday was one of if not the worst day of Trump's life and it will just get worse.

[Botany]

* Neal Katyal: Trump DOJ spied electronically on Congressional enemies

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017830399

What laws didn't he break?
Cattle Rustling or maybe illegal gill net fishing for salmon?

And was he trying to cover up his work for and with Russia/Putin?

Did Bill Barr know about this? And who did this work for him? Where are the warrants for the alleged wire tapping?



If Garland and the DoJ have proof of this illegal spying by TFG on people like Adam Schiff Trump, needs
to brought in for questioning ASAP.

* E. Jean Carroll moves to amend defamation lawsuit to include Trump's statements to CNN
E. Jean Carrol is going to sue Trump for another $10 million for the shit he said on his CNN Townhall

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217935690

* Did Trump start selling out America and America's secrets from the moment he got into the White House?
"Prosecutors Sought Records on Trump's Foreign Business Deals Since 2017"

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143077645

"The subpoena — drafted by the office of the special counsel, Jack Smith — sought details on the Trump Organization’s real estate licensing and development dealings in seven countries: China, France, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, according to the people familiar with the matter. The subpoena sought the records for deals reached since 2017, when Mr. Trump was sworn in as president."

********

I will take mid July in the pool as to when TFG flees America.

[viva la]

1. Remember right after he took office

He was yucking it up with Putin's ambassador in the Oval Office. So yeah, he was already selling us out.

And yet none if this matters to the GOP.

[Botany]

2. Yup

At that meeting Trump "burned" an Israeli agent who was inside ISIS in Syria too by telling the Russians about
that agent. BTW Ambassador Kislyak was right in the middle of Russia's rat fucking the 2016 elections.

[GreenWave]

4. I remember the day he closed the door and had only Russians inside.

That would have been a great sound bite if Phil Collins would permit,

"You walked out! You left us behind!"

[JohnnyRingo]

26. Even sending the US translator out, as I recall.

If that's not shady, ...well, of course it is.

[KS Toronado]

53. He did the same with closed door meetings with Putler.

Nobody needs to know what my friend & I talk about.

[boston bean]

11. That was the day of complete confirmation. He is and always has been a russian

ASSet.

I got for real shit scared for our country and our democracy. Yeah it was scary already but that day will forever live in my memory like 9/11. It was that jolting.

[Larissa]

57. From day one

Putin has always had Trump on a choke collar. In public with Putin, Trump even tries to diminish his own height so he won't seem to tower over Pooty-Poot-Putin. Trump doesn't even pretend to hide his disloyalty to this country when it comes to polishing Pooty's knob every chance he gets. What prize from Putin could Trump possibly be jockeying for? Putin's own cronies often wind up falling out of windows, drinking "bad" tea, or getting contaminated by military grade toxins smeared on doorknobs and such.

[Freddie]

3. It's all about the "Russia hoax"

I check out RCP sometimes to see what the other side is “thinking.” One of the featured articles proclaimed that the “Russia hoax” is worse than Watergate. I swear we live on 2 different planets.

[Alice Kramden]

5. The only news agency allowed in that meeting was Tass

Tass

[Ponietz]

24. The criminal motherfuckers are laughing about Comey's ouster

[Escurumbele]

6. "Did Trump start selling out America and America's secrets from the moment he got into the

White House?"

YES, and this time I hope the truth comes out.

[Botany]

10. "Did Trump start selling out America and America's secrets from the moment he got into the ...

... White House?"

No it even before that. See the change in the 2016 GOP platform where Trump/Manafort made it
more Putin/Russia friendly and pulled in support of Zelenskyy/Ukraine's war with Russia & both
Gen. Flynn and Erik Prince were having secret "back channel" contacts with pro Putin Russian agents.

[Delmette2.0]

19. Jared Kushner read the Daily Briefing probably every day.

I bet he knew just what to keep to himself and what to tell Donald.

[OMGWTF]

28. Jerod who was denied a Top Secret clearance but Traitor Tot

gave it to him anyway. Who dafuq does that?

[Delmette2.0]

32. Someone who can't comprehend what they read.

So someone else has to read everything and explain in simple terms so that he understands a basic outline.

[LaMouffette]

7. Like I wrote in a post yesterday, it will take Russian paratroopers dropping out of the skies into

America's heartland AND into all red states across the country and for these paratroopers to start shooting everyone in sight, like at the beginning of the movie Red Dawn, for the Trump humpers to finally remember, "Oh, yeah! That's right! The Russian government hates us and wants to destroy our country!"

[llmart]

34. +1

That's exactly how brain damaged the magats are and how asleep most of America is.

[DENVERPOPS]

37. Like I have said for many years on DU

The perfect title of a book written about the past 40+ years would be:

WHILE AMERICA SLEPT.......................

[LaMouffette]

64. I would title it: "While America Watched TV."

Karl Marx once said that religion is the opiate of the masses.

But today, it's not religion, but addictive TV programming that is keeping Americans so distracted they are kept unaware of the destruction of our democracy that is occurring at this very moment.

I'm guilty of this myself, watching way more TV than I should. But I wonder how much more politically aware the majority of Americans would be if we still had just the four channels: ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS.

[LoisB]

39. I agree.

[NCjack]

8. Trump is the complete crooked politician. Day 1 and he is setting up

supply, delivery, and money flow.

[malaise]

17. THIS

The truth

[Alpeduez21]

9. Must be tough livingim his ivory tower

Having the press kiss his ass. Having repuke lackeys fawning all over him. Knowing the DOJ will walk on eggshells around him. I’m sure he’s just terrified of all the terrible things that are waiting for h at some point in the future. His ass should be in a ducking cell yester-fucking-day. The goddamn pentagon leaker is being held for doing less than the lazy lying steaming pile Hump does before fucking breakfast every fucking day. This is bullshit. He could be president again for ducks sake!

[Hotler]

12. It wasn't that bad, he's still walking free. nt

[CrispyQ]

25. And grifting & running for president again.

JFC!

[edhopper]

13. There are interpretor notes

that might show treason. Why are they being kept hidden. Even if classified, somebody in authority should know what was said.

[DENVERPOPS]

40. As I recall

there were many times he didn't even let the secretary, who recorded what was said, into the meeting. And several times that the Secretary was there and Trump personally asked for the notes after the meeting, and tore them up..........

[edhopper]

44. That alone

is a felony. Straight up crime. And yet he is allowed to get away with it.

[DENVERPOPS]

48. Trump has gotten away with

Corruption and Illegal shit his entire life, why would he stop now.??????????

He didn't actually think he would win the election in 2016, but once it happened, by hook or by crook, it opened a whole new universe of possibilities for massive grifting, corruption and criminal activity. I doubt anyone will ever know the un-fathomable amount of money Trump, Ivanka, and Jared made off grifting during the Covid Pandemic alone....................

[Grasswire2]

61. Interpreters write something called a MEM CON...

..."memo of conversation" -- which is filed in State Department files forever.

Here is an article I posted earlier on DU about the ability of a president to declassify such a memo of conversation:

[link:https://www.democraticunderground.com/100217731339|

[quakerboy]

14. Counterpoint:

Every day he is not in jail is a better day for him than he has earned.

[FakeNoose]

15. I'm almost certain that Moscow Mitch and Paul Ryan knew what Chump was doing

Whether Jeff Sessions or Bill Barr knew and failed to stop it, well that remains to be seen.

How did Chump get the snooping information turned over to Putin? Well let's ask Jared Kushner, I'm sure he has an idea.

I'm rooting for special counsel Jack Smith to get to the bottom of this, and much more!

[Blue Owl]

16. Even the gold toilet has lost its luster

It's got kind of a shit-colored patina these days....

[PatSeg]

18. Oh yes, it definitely will get worse for him

His reckless arrogance will be his undoing. He really thought he could do pretty much anything and not suffer any real consequences. He has had enablers his entire life and they are every bit as guilty as he is.

The problem is he used to live in a "Trump bubble" where he had control over everything. Then he tried to turn the whole world into a Trump bubble and he lacked the intelligence, competence, and temperament to oversee it.

[brer cat]

21. +1 nt

[Cherokee100]

20. Moscow

Moscow, here he comes. 'Sorry about that'..

[Walleye]

22. Remember when Mueller was appointed

Trump said, “special counsel?, I’m fucked!” He knew damn well how many laws he was breaking. Unfortunately the scope of Mueller’s investigation never took him into these things, and he was afraid to arrest a president

[Botany]

29. Mueller's investigation was hamstrung from the get go.

Dept. A.G. Rod Rosenstein limited the investigation to Trump and Russia connections but
when Mueller showed real criminal connections between Trump and Russia he was shut down
by Barr's rule (it was not a law) that you are not allowed to indict a sitting President.

America needs to see the whole unredacted Mueller report now.

Muller left behind 10 solid cases of obstruction against Trump as per Russia but Garland chose
not to pursue those cases but he indicted lots of Russians but Barr dropped all those indictments
including the one on Russia oligarch, Oleg Deripaska who was paying FBI Agent McGonigal in 2016
to rat fuck Hillary's campaign and in 2022 he funded Tony DeVolder's campaign for the U.S. House
from N.Y. State.

[Walleye]

31. ☝️ Good summary

It seems to Jack Smith might be going after some of the crooked foreign real estate dealings. That’s going to make trump nervous. I hope

[onetexan]

35. THIS!!☝️

[Orrex]

23. Every day should be the worst day of Trump's life

Every day that isn’t the worst day of Trump’s life is a day wasted.

[deRien]

27. Didn't Jared try to set up

a back channel to Russia?

[Botany]

30. No that was Gen. Flynn and Blackwater's Erik Prince...although I have no doubt Jared would have ...

.... used those back channel networks. BTW the Trump administration did not fire Flynn for lying
to V.P. Pence and his staff he was fired for being caught being "chatty" with the Russian even before
Trump took office.

[msfiddlestix]

33. The worst day of his life? He hasn't been arrested and incarcerated yet.

The day when his ASS is locked up for the rest of his life, will be one of the worst days of his life.

Right now, he is free as a bird, raising millions of dollars for his presidential campaign which will serve as a protective tool to prevent justice.

until then. it's only one of the worst days of our lives.

[COL Mustard]

62. As much as I'd like to see his sorry ass in an actual prison

It'll never happen. The worst he will get is probably home detention, which will be severe. He'd be too much of a target if he was in an actual prison, and the Secret Service couldn't protect him in there. It's just logistics, not justice but home confinement with limited visitors and no travel or means of communication would drive him mad. I hope.

[msfiddlestix]

63. I agree. But I guarantee ya he'll have his cell phone at hand..burners if needs must.

we;ll never be spared his lunacy until the day he drops dead. But psychopaths like him seem to have longer lives than most.

[maxsolomon]

36. I wish I shared your optimism.

So far, there is no accountability, only the vague promise of accountability at some unspecified future date.

His father's right-hand man went to Rikers rather than turn on him.

Has he paid Carroll a penny?

[Botany]

41. N.Y.'s A.G. Trish James is going after the Trump Organization for 1/4 of a billion this fall ....

... along with her office having the needed receipts and documents she plans to shut down all
businesses in N.Y. State that operated under the Trump name. She will also be referring charges
to the IRS and the U.S. Attorney's Office of the Southern District of N.Y..


"Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump Used Fraudulent Statements of Financial Condition to Obtain Millions in Economic Benefits

Lawsuit Seeks to Remove Trump and His Children from Their Roles at the Trump Organization; Ban Them from Future Leadership Roles in New York; Repay $250 Million They Illegally Obtained."

https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2022/attorney-general-james-sues-donald-trump-years-financial-fraud

[DENVERPOPS]

42. Trump has never paid the price

for any of his corruption and criminal deeds his entire life.....Never.........

And honestly? I don't think he will, for the rest of his putrid life.............

The Republican Senators and House members won't let that happen because if "he goes, we go" mentality.

And even if any thing gets past the Republican members of the house and senate, it will end up at the USSC and we all know exactly how that will end, don't we????????????

[maxsolomon]

47. The JCOT has been reviewing his 77 million dollar tax refund

FOR ELEVEN YEARS.

[DENVERPOPS]

49. Exactly

and that is just one of the countless things the IRS could have gone after him for, regarding the falsifying of his returns......

[Eyeball_Kid]

43. Carroll gets a 9% interest accumulation for as long as Trump delays payment.

Assuming that the interest is compounded annually, that's over 400k per year. Carroll could live very comfortably on the interest alone. But there's more coming in Carroll's latest lawsuits. She's living rent-free in Donnie's head. AND Donnie is paying her for the residency.

[rubbersole]

38. He is doing a great job ruining the repub party...

...please don't stop now, you treasonous pos.

[DENVERPOPS]

45. And

back in the so called Reagan presidency, Reagan wasn't running things, HWBush was running everything.......

back in the so called "W" presidency, WBush wasn't running things, Cheney and Rumsfeld were running everything.......

back in the so called Trump presidency, Trump wasn't running things, Putin was running everything.........
Not only the presidency, but the entire Republican Party, from top to bottom..........

And, Putin still is running things, make no mistake about it..........With help from N.Korea, the Saudis, China, Iran, India, etc etc

[rubbersole]

46. Teamwork...

...republican style. Professor Harlan Crow lecture at 3pm.

[calimary]

50. I look forward to his downfall. In exile, in jail, or in Hell.

[lame54]

51. Cattle rustling or salmon netting are too physical...

Otherwise they'd be on the list too

[leftyladyfrommo]

55. Didn't he sell steaks?

[lame54]

56. Nice catch - where did the cattle come from?

[Mr.Bill]

52. If his name was mentioned on TV,

it was not a bad day for Trump.

[ancianita]

54. May every single day of the rest of his life be his worst.

[orangecrush]

58. When action is taken

Then I'll celebrate.

Till I know he will be prevented from assuming office I fear for my nation.

[lastlib]

59. May he never have a better one! eom

[Stuart G]

60. K and R...Thanks for posting..
