About Mueller and Audrey Straus....They are prosecutors..

They prosecute crooks. All kinds. Mueller has seen it all. Now, I know little about Straus, but my guess is that she has seen a whole lot. So, here is the bottom line for me: These two like to get crooks. So, are there any crooks left to get? They might have broken laws that are more provable than other laws. When you desire to get to the very top crooks, who is left in this story?
...If these crooks are not charged now, does that mean they will never be charged for the crimes they have committed?. Let us patient, please

About Pete? One simple sentence:

If this country can elect as President of the United States, a brilliant, kind Afro American, a totally stupid and selfish businessman, then why not elect a gay, brilliant, and exceptionally kind, 37 year old Rhodes Scholar who is mayor of South Bend Indiana?

I believe that Sanders is not electable. You can argue, but this is true

Sanders supporters may think this is not true. But it is. His ideas are ok, but he is not ok. If he were nominated as our candidate, we would have an in fight all over again. He was loyal, he was not loyal..blah, blah, and blah...This in fight is the very last thing we need .

I worked for George McGovern in 1972. (a while ago) His ideas were totally correct. He was almost from the beginning a poor candidate destined to lose. Terrible in fight from the beginning. Bernie is the same. He will lose. It is his stature, it is how he acts, it is offensive to some. He will cause an in fight in our party that will destroy our chances to win.

again...this in fight is the very last thing we need
....again... this in fight is the very last thing we need


We need to be totally united to beat them, complete and total. Sanders is not the person to do this. You may think so, but you are wrong. Sanders has made too many enemies in this party to gain total and complete support. Anybody that will unify our party is the answer..

Sanders is not the answer.

Trump defined himself. As someone who tashes a war hero who has been dead 7 months.

Not once, but 4 times. Like Nixon's famous, "I am not a crook" statement. These attacks on McCain will define Trump. The reasons why Trump said it 4 times are not important. The "Trump Brand" is worthless forever. Maybe if he said this once and apologized, his name could mean something. 4 times... This cannot be defended by anyone at anytime. 4 times? No apology and there will never be one.

Here are two reasons why Trump repeats his criticsm of Mc Cain. Both are very sad.

1. He is very sick, and needs to repeat his nonsense.

2. He has been told not to continue to knock McCain, but " Nobody tells me what to do."..

I think it is number 2. Trump doesn't care if it is disrespectful or mean. He doesn't care if someone told him it is bad for his reputation. He only cares about his getting back at people who A) tell him what to do...or B) Do not like what he says.

Also, he is clueless and stupid beyond doubt, and he does not realize he is destroying himself and his family's reputation with this behavior. That is what he has done. No matter what he does now, it is too late. He must resign. This behavior proves he is incompetent and unable to do this job. 4 times in the last 5 days..is proof enough.

New Mueller Probe Revelations Explain Trump's Rage: CNN

https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/20/politics/donald-trump-russia-investigation-michael-cohen/index.html

Analysis by Stephen Collinson, Wednesday, March 20 - 8:50am
______________________________________________________________________________________

Washington (CNN) — President Donald Trump looks -- and is acting -- rattled and encircled by the Russia investigation. And a series of fresh disclosures on Tuesday show there is every reason for him to feel threatened by the vast shadow it is casting over his life, business and presidency.

Newly unsealed court documents detailing special counsel Robert Mueller's activity reveal an investigative field of breathtaking scope and a prosecutorial machine that ratcheted quickly up in mid-2017.

The search warrants targeting Trump's ex-personal lawyer Michael Cohen offer a glimpse of the covert world of the probe. As is often the case with Mueller, they give only a tantalizing hint of the wider, yet still hidden, puzzle.

But such disclosures are almost never good news for Trump.

There is enough to explain from Tuesday's reveal why the investigation must be weighing on Trump's spirits, and driving his angry Twitter outbursts.

The vast breadth of the investigation by various jurisdictions also could offer a rich seam for Democratic House chairmen should they eventually subpoena primary evidence uncovered by Mueller and other prosecutors.

More info on NYT article by David Enrich on Trump & Deutche Bank (reason why Trump has melted down)

Special thanks to ..catbyte for original info and posting of this article. Here is a link to that original article. It is still being discussed here in this Discussion Forum. Hit link to see original story:


https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211933153

___________________________________________________________________________________
This is not just any article written by anybody. David Enrich is the financial editor of the New York Times. Further, Enrich has a book coming out that proves the sordid relationship between Deutsche Bank and Trump. A relationship which is questionable at best. Why? Most banks and financial institutions knew that Trump was a bad risk, but Deutsche Bank took the risk anyway. Two CEO of Deutsche Bank evidently worked with Trump to get these loans and the Bank knew of his financial risk ahead of time. Deutsche Bank is currently in talks for a merger with another bank that would change the name of the institution.

...Enrich knows of this situation and the book describes it. Therefore, what is coming out is proof that Trump lied about his financial situation, and proof that a bank covered these lies. If this last statement is true, and the book will prove it, then this could explain the melt down of Trump. Proof is coming about Trumps various lies about his finances. Keep in mind, today is Tuesday, 4 days after the meltdown on Friday. Trump may have had advance news on the coming story in the NYT, and also the coming book by Enrich on Trump's financial lies and Deutsche Bank. Keep in mind this idea...: Absolute proof of Donald Trump lying about his finances, is the last thing Trump needs now. Proof that he is a lying asshole is not what Trump wants since he is calling the author of the book a liar cheat.

Please Note...If you hit the original link above, you will also have links to the NY Times stories about Trump

Here is one of the links to the story, again special thanks again to ... catbyte

If Biden is nominated, and all things are equal. Biden will win.

....Now, we are talking about a nomination more than a year away. Providing that Biden is healthy in the summer 16 months from now, and he desires to run for the Presidency at that time, and Biden is nominated by us, ..(yes, lots of events can interfere with that desire) then he will win. This assumes Trump is still in there, and he is at the same level of support that he is now. If Pence is in there, then I still think Biden will win.
..The single most important event is that we win the 2020 election. And we gain control of the Senate as well as the House. No matter what happens in the Senate or House, Biden will defeat Trump.
...The future could be anything. But if all things remain similar to now, Biden vs Trump. Biden will win hands down..no discussion and no worry about it.

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
