Title: Trump To Resign
Post by: Conan71 on August 18, 2017, 10:40:04 am
Don’t get your hopes up, this from his former biographer. I think this guy even underestimates the huge size of Il Donald’s Herr Drumpf's ego.

Quote
Washington (AFP) - The ghostwriter who penned Donald Trump's 1987 memoir "The Art of the Deal" thinks the US president will throw in the towel before the end of his term.

Writer Tony Schwartz tweeted that "Trump is going to resign" before investigators probing alleged ties between the Republican's campaign team and Russia "leave him no choice."

"The circle is closing at blinding speed," the author tweeted. "Trump is going to resign and declare victory before Mueller and congress leave him no choice."

"Trump's presidency is effectively over," he said in a follow-up tweet. "Would be amazed if he survives till end of the year. More likely resigns by fall, if not sooner."

While writing Trump's bestselling breakthrough memoir Schwartz spent 18 months with the billionaire tycoon.

He spoke out last year against the real estate mogul during the presidential campaign, telling The New Yorker magazine that he put "lipstick on a pig."

"I feel a deep sense of remorse that I contributed to presenting Trump in a way that brought him wider attention and made him more appealing than he is."

Oh, I'm not.  However it seems that Bannon is now out.  Which is not a surprise.

NYT: Mueller subpoenas Bannon

http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/16/politics/robert-mueller-steve-bannon/index.html (http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/16/politics/robert-mueller-steve-bannon/index.html)

Quote
Washington (CNN)Special counsel Robert Mueller subpoenaed former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon last week, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

Bannon was on Capitol Hill testifying before the House Intelligence Committee when the news broke that Mueller had issued the subpoena for the now-estranged associate of President Donald Trump to testify before a grand jury.
Bannon's testimony on the Hill Tuesday was his first appearance before any of the congressional committees investigating alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election or potential coordination with Trump's associates, and it comes just days after the White House broke with Bannon over comments attributed to him disparaging Trump and the Trump family.

And then Pence will issue pardons all around.  Mueller will need to investigate Pence next - he is only relatively not as bad as Trump just due to the magnitude of Trump.

Bannon will do interview with special counsel, avoiding grand jury for now

http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/17/politics/bannon-mueller-strike-deal/index.html (http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/17/politics/bannon-mueller-strike-deal/index.html)

Quote
Washington (CNN)Steve Bannon has struck a deal with special counsel Robert Mueller's team and will be interviewed by prosecutors instead of testifying before the grand jury, two people familiar with the process told CNN. He is expected to cooperate with the special counsel, the sources said.

The sources did not say when the interview will take place or if the subpoena would be withdrawn.

Bannon, the former White House chief strategist for President Donald Trump, is expected to talk openly to Mueller's team. Bannon's attorney told the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday that Bannon would answer questions when he goes to the special counsel because executive privilege would not apply, according to one of the sources.

A spokesman for the special counsel's office declined to comment.

Last week, the FBI attempted to serve Bannon with a subpoena to appear before the grand jury in the Russia probe. He referred agents to his attorney, multiple sources said.

Bannon's deal with the special counsel follows the publishing of Michael Wolff's book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," which claimed Bannon called the June 2016 meeting between senior Trump presidential campaign staff and a Russian lawyer promising dirt on Hillary Clinton "treasonous."

In testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, Bannon downplayed the comments published in Wolff's book, saying it was "hyperbole" that he described the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and members of the Trump campaign with Russians as treasonous and unpatriotic, two sources said. Bannon, who joined the campaign after the June 2016 meeting, and shed little light on the meeting with Russians, the sources said.

One reason Mueller may have issued a subpoena is that Bannon publicly changed his story when he issued a statement on the book's contents, walking back some of what was reported, a source told CNN.

The source familiar with the process with Bannon said Mueller's team may have been seeking to send a message that he needs to be truthful about what happened.

California Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, told CNN that the White House instructed Bannon not to answer questions regarding the presidential transition and his time in the White House. Schiff said a White House attorney other than White House counsel Don McGahn reconfirmed this should continue after the committee served Bannon with a subpoena during the interview yesterday. McGahn and Bannon share the same attorney, William Burck.

The House Intelligence Committee is not done questioning Bannon, as the panel will require him to answer their questions and their own subpoena of him stands, Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, said after Tuesday's hearing.

According to one paid-off lackey.  We will see.  I have no real expectation (well, except from the history of dozens of indictments, and 8 or 9 convictions...) that much will come from this.  After all, Mueller is still a Republican at the end of the day.

I just had to return after 2 years + away from this forum to see the reactions..

Mueller is a Republican and can't be trusted... Predictable...

Convictions due to this investigation.. Not one was about Collusion.. Predictable.. 

Not one of you that has been spouting hate for two years will admit you were wrong. You would have loved to have an investigation conclude with a traitor in the White house than to be happy there isn't!

Egg on face for all of you and yes I am happy to see it.

But but.... He "could have obstructed".. play that line and watch it fail.

I'll return in 2 more years once Trump wins the next election.. You and the MSM just handed it to him.

Well, since collusion isn't even a crime, that certainly doesn't take much mental horsepower to figure out.  Wonder why the extremist right is still showing they don't understand even that simple concept?  It's all about the mantra "no collusion"...  Well, that IS the standard self-serving lie, isn't it - right on Script!


Watch the heavy  use of the word "exonerate".  When even Barr's literal statement said, "does not exonerate".   Or did you miss that??   (I bet you even believed Sarah Huckabee when she said "exonerate", didn't you?)  

Also, this really isn't over yet - there is very likely to be more, especially from other areas that aren't compromised by paid-off lackeys.  Watch the New York Atty General.


And finally, there is nothing here or in the last two years that takes away from the facts that ethical, moral, thinking people paid attention to while the Minions were in bat-sh$t stupid mode.  Things that would disqualify him to normal people.  Trump the pedophile.  Trump the draft-dodger.  Trump the guy who called our POW's cowards.  Trump the Federal housing law serial breaker.  Trump the cheat who stole from every contractor he has ever done business with.  Trump the guy who has hired thousands of illegal immigrants - breaking another set of Federal laws.  But yeah...he may well be re-elected.  Because THAT is what we are as a country!   What is needed is a hat that says, "Make America Great...Period."  It would be a refreshing change of pace!

With Trump supporters, it has always been a "willfully ignorant" thing.  Now, it has morphed into a "malignantly ignorant" thing...

They never stopped - are continuing even today.  As you know.


But this would be a good time to follow the lead of Stephen Colbert and apologize, so here it is.  I too, am sincerely sorry that Trump is a terrible President, and that his Minions are malignantly ignorant, and continue to endorse, condone, and accept the wide gamut of vile, disgusting, and criminal behavior he has exhibited for decades.


The bigger question was raised last night - IF the Russian's truly don't have anything on him, what the hell is wrong with him??

That is the one I would love to see the Fellow Travelers answer....but then, we have already seen those rationalizations, haven't we??

One tiny little point that is being completely ignored and unanswered by the MI's (malignantly ignorant).   IF there was nothing but exoneration - which Barr has already said there is not - then do you really think for an instant that Barr would have wasted even milliseconds getting the whole report out to anyone and everyone he could to "prove" it??

Silly Minions...don't understand reality...

Lol....have been doing exactly that since last August!!  Got a sweet part time gig now that is kinda like your B&B thing emotionally and internal reward-wise.  Very nice.  This...well, it is just part of the ongoing crusade, since I was 14, against the powers of ignorance and stupidstition that are the overwhelming 8,000 lb gorilla in our world.   Almost a hobby...


The shot of whisky can be part of that now!   It is transformational to the 'mind-set' when one can sit down to an early breakfast, have some bacon and eggs and a nice little shot of Jameson!

This is the end of Act 1. In Act 2, we'll see the progress in the SDNY and state courts regarding possible tax evasion and his charity, as well as the federal court emoluments case. Perhaps we'll get a sideshow as more wonen come forward. The third act brings it all together as President* Trump is either vindicated entirely or becomes a pariah even within the Republican party.

Stay tuned.

Yep. Especially those federal matters. Because Bill Barr probably cannot wait for one of his USA's (E.D. Va. or SDNY) to pursue his boss, Trump, who by the way is also the USA's super boss.

Wow!   Don't understand English much?   First, I never said he colluded, since that is the big old nothing burger you posted about.  All I said was previous well established truths, like his pedophilia, calling our POW's cowards, insulting handicapped people, cheating and sleazing on every contractor who has had the misfortune to deal with him, broken myriad Federal laws on hiring illegal aliens (all before the White House era), breaking Federal housing law, and obstruction of justice every step of the way since.   Any one or two of which would have disqualified him in the mind of rational, ethical, moral, thinking human beings.  (Am constantly reminded of the Doors song with the phrase, "his mind is squirming like a toad..."  THAT is Trump.)

And since Barr specifically said, "does not exonerate", and there is this presumption that sitting President cannot be indicted, it is WAY to early for the gloat machine to start up.  Especially related to the State of NY investigations going on.  

But hey, I realize that's what the Minion Script is.  It's all they got.  So that is just what it's gonna be for a while...stupid memes.


And again, like I said...

IF there was nothing but exoneration - which Barr has already said there is not - then do you really think for an instant that Barr would have wasted even milliseconds getting the whole report out to anyone and everyone he could to "prove" it??

Congress: We are going to need to see the President's tax returns from 2013 - 2018.

Trump:  No, I'm under audit.

Congress:  We didn't ask you.
