This afternoon, a letter titled Statement by Federal Prosecutors went up on Medium. The document, which has now been signed by over 450 former federal prosecutors, states that the Mueller report contains sufficient evidence to charge Donald Trump with felony obstruction of justice. [He cannot be charged while in office according to Department of Justice guidelines, but, as I understand it, the Justice Department would be able to bring charges against him upon leaving office.] “Each of us believes that the conduct of President Trump described in Mueller’s report would, in the case of any other person…” the letter states, “result in multiple felony charges.” This, of course, runs very much contrary to Attorney General William Barr’s summary of the Mueller report, which essentially said that the President did not commit obstruction.
Here’s how the letter begins.
The letter then goes on to lay out the evidence as presented in the Mueller report… Here, according to these 450+ well-respected former prosecutors from both political parties, is a true and accurate summary of that evidence.
· The President’s efforts to fire Mueller and to falsify evidence about that effort;
· The President’s efforts to limit the scope of Mueller’s investigation to exclude his conduct; and
· The President’s efforts to prevent witnesses from cooperating with investigators probing him and his campaign.
Attempts to fire Mueller and then create false evidence
Despite being advised by then-White House Counsel Don McGahn that he could face legal jeopardy for doing so, Trump directed McGahn on multiple occasions to fire Mueller or to gin up false conflicts of interest as a pretext for getting rid of the Special Counsel. When these acts began to come into public view, Trump made “repeated efforts to have McGahn deny the story” — going so far as to tell McGahn to write a letter “for our files” falsely denying that Trump had directed Mueller’s termination.
Firing Mueller would have seriously impeded the investigation of the President and his associates — obstruction in its most literal sense. Directing the creation of false government records in order to prevent or discredit truthful testimony is similarly unlawful. The Special Counsel’s report states: “Substantial evidence indicates that in repeatedly urging McGahn to dispute that he was ordered to have the Special Counsel terminated, the President acted for the purpose of influencing McGahn’s account in order to deflect or prevent scrutiny of the President’s conduct toward the investigation.”
Attempts to limit the Mueller investigation
The report describes multiple efforts by the president to curtail the scope of the Special Counsel’s investigation.
First, the President repeatedly pressured then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to reverse his legally-mandated decision to recuse himself from the investigation. The President’s stated reason was that he wanted an attorney general who would “protect” him, including from the Special Counsel investigation. He also directed then-White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus to fire Sessions and Priebus refused.
Second, after McGahn told the President that he could not contact Sessions himself to discuss the investigation, Trump went outside the White House, instructing his former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, to carry a demand to Sessions to direct Mueller to confine his investigation to future elections. Lewandowski tried and failed to contact Sessions in private. After a second meeting with Trump, Lewandowski passed Trump’s message to senior White House official Rick Dearborn, who Lewandowski thought would be a better messenger because of his prior relationship with Sessions. Dearborn did not pass along Trump’s message.
As the report explains, “[s]ubstantial evidence indicates that the President’s effort to have Sessions limit the scope of the Special Counsel’s investigation to future election interference was intended to prevent further investigative scrutiny of the President’s and his campaign’s conduct” — in other words, the President employed a private citizen to try to get the Attorney General to limit the scope of an ongoing investigation into the President and his associates.
All of this conduct — trying to control and impede the investigation against the President by leveraging his authority over others — is similar to conduct we have seen charged against other public officials and people in powerful positions.
Witness tampering and intimidation
The Special Counsel’s report establishes that the President tried to influence the decisions of both Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort with regard to cooperating with investigators. Some of this tampering and intimidation, including the dangling of pardons, was done in plain sight via tweets and public statements; other such behavior was done via private messages through private attorneys, such as Trump counsel Rudy Giuliani’s message to Cohen’s lawyer that Cohen should “sleep well tonight, you have friends in high places.”
Of course, these aren’t the only acts of potential obstruction detailed by the Special Counsel. It would be well within the purview of normal prosecutorial judgment also to charge other acts detailed in the report.
We emphasize that these are not matters of close professional judgment. Of course, there are potential defenses or arguments that could be raised in response to an indictment of the nature we describe here. In our system, every accused person is presumed innocent and it is always the government’s burden to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. But, to look at these facts and say that a prosecutor could not probably sustain a conviction for obstruction of justice — the standard set out in Principles of Federal Prosecution — runs counter to logic and our experience.
As former federal prosecutors, we recognize that prosecuting obstruction of justice cases is critical because unchecked obstruction — which allows intentional interference with criminal investigations to go unpunished — puts our whole system of justice at risk. We believe strongly that, but for the OLC memo, the overwhelming weight of professional judgment would come down in favor of prosecution for the conduct outlined in the Mueller Report…
And you caught that last part, right? If not for the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) memo authored by Barr, and presented as an accurate summary of the Mueller report, it is the opinion of these former federal prosecutors, “the overwhelming weight of professional judgment would come down in favor of prosecution”. In other words, if Barr hadn’t interceded on the President’s behalf, and the Attorney General had just release the Mueller report, instead of his own reimagining of it, we’d now likely be talking about prosecution.
Speaking of Barr, he missed another deadline today, failing to comply with a Congressional subpoena to deliver Robert Mueller’s full, unredacted report. And, as a result, it looks as though the House will be voting on Wednesday to hold him in contempt of Congress. In a statement released today, House Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler said, “The Attorney General’s failure to comply with our subpoena, after extensive accommodation efforts, leaves us no choice but to initiate contempt proceedings in order to enforce the subpoena and access the full, unredacted report.” If I’m not mistaken, Nadler also raised the possibility of impeaching Barr for the first time.

The devil is in the details.
Meanwhile, he keeps blatantly kissing pootins ass. Biggest traitor ever. His supporters biggest suckers ever.
So says you but you are shriveling up like Smeagol transforming into Gollum more and more every day. Grotesque
You lost the Ring of Power and it is driving you insane. I imagine you sprawled in a padded room straightjacketed and crazy-eyed muttering incoherently about agent orange and pootin interspersed with uncontrollable fits of laughter.
Aloha. Read today how the US is being allowed to interrogate Assange while he is being held in solitary confinement. The US or its contractors are evidently using psychotropic drugs on him as well. This at the same time that the US continues to incarcerate Manning, while torturing her and denying her medical care.
First they came for the journalist and whistle blowers. After that I don’t know what happened.
Aloha, now up to more than 600.

Day by day everyone on this site is learning that Trump is the best President ever! No President has ever save more children in need and faced down important issues of guns and abortion than any other. God gave us Trump. Thank God for Trump, the best man in the entire world for women.
I can’t decide who sounds more psychotic: HW or Trump 2020.
It is a lesson in ideology. The people Trump 2020 is trying to satire know that it is satire but the people Trump 2020 is catering to miss it.
A higher and more dangerous form of ideology goes beyond just false beliefs about the world. The higher and more dangerous form of ideology is having false beliefs about what others believe about the world. It is so perfect to watch Fake John Brown not take it as satire while Trump 2020 feels the need to make the satire more and more obvious. The joke is on you guys.
Talking about the rampant psychosis in your little crowd makes me sound psychotic. Mkay. Only a psycho tells the truth in Jean’s world. Did you look up NXIVM? How could someone be sooo ignorant but so judgmental? Obviously that is a recipe for failure.
I don’t think Trump 2020 is satire. It looks like they transcribed their Bible quotes by hand, not cut and paste. That would be a lot of unnecessary effort just to embellish a joke.

PP, give up. I think by now it’s plain to anyone who reads HW’s posts (except maybe EOS) that his faith in Trump is absolute and unshakable. To HW anything that casts Trump in a negative light is obviously made-up by his political opponents. HW is possessed by a pathological compulsion to grasp at any possible defense. Doesn’t matter how tenuous. Doesn’t matter how, ahem, cray. A year from now, if everyone around Trump is in prison, it will still have nothing to do with Trump. PP, you’re wasting your time.”
Hahahaha, wtf is wrong with you? Everything you have said is being turned back on you by reality. It’s you in the position you thought I would be in but inverted.
Yeah. Trump is finally attacking Mayor Pete by name.
Boot-Edge-Edge
Aloha HW, please explain the differences between NXIVM, the Catholic Church, The Southern Baptist Church, and other right wing religious organizations that “brain wash” their cult members and think it is ok to have sex with children.
Pretty sure NXIVM isn’t right wing. They illegally bundled money for Hillary Clinton. That’s not what Raniere’s trial, which started yesterday is about of course. It’s for the sex with children and the slavery and branding of women and the mind control and so on.
Romans 8:9-11 You are not in the flesh but in Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who not have the Spirit of Christ not belong to him. But Christ is in you, although body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal body through Spirit who lives in you.
God make Trump to be MESSENGER of the Lord, he scream sounds through the archangle MICHAEL Pence to save babies from abortions and punish the wicked in inner cities with rule of law and order because JESUS commands that no crime and cults exist and Satan not come into us because we have BUILT A WALL around us illegal immigrants create by SATAN to destroy us so we pray to see TRUMP in 2020 like God say.
Sentence for sentence everything I wrote in that two year old post remains true, and if anything has changed it is that you’ve become more delusional, not less! Pick any one sentence I wrote and prove it false.
Aloha HW, So other than your belief that NXIVM is not right wing, you see no difference. As near as I can tell only 5 NXIVM folks are currently facing criminal prosecution where as some 200 Evengelical Baptist Preachers, and hundreds of Catholic Priest have pled to similar charges. So the only reason you bring up NXIVM is to try to score cheap political points. If you really cared about child sexual abuse, you would be screaming for criminal prosecutions of the Catholic Church and the Southern Baptist Convention for their criminal coverups that have gone on for decades.
For your info, multi-level marketing schemes are by their very nature and organization “right wing” groups. Central to them is the “cult of the leader”–join Amway (or what ever they call it now, and you will see that adoration of the leader is central). “Left wing” groups are by definition, egalitarian and democratic the exact opposite of multi-level marketing which requires that you slave for the one above you in the pyramid—Get it Pyramid, not a circle. The fact that some of them bundled money for Hillary only shows that they (like your man Trump) are pro-war, pro-corporatis. As I’ve pointed out before, you and Jean Henry share many of the same policies, it is nothing but personalities for you.
But I am against sex abuse by religious people. Not sure what your point is.
“Pick any one sentence I wrote and prove it false.”
How can something that didn’t happen be proven false? No one in the Trump orbit is going to prison but Cohen and that is for Obama era crimes. I never had to “pathologically grasp at a defense” but now you have to do exactly that.
How is Trump pro war compared to Hillary? She vowed to go to war with Iran. It was actually a campaign promise.
*Manafort* for Obama era crimes
Aloha HW, and your man’s, Pompeo and Bolton sure seem to be fullfilling that campaign promise for her, and we get Venezuela thrown in as a bonus. Just spent some time taking a Democratic Party survey. Wanted to know a lot about what priorities I think are most important. NOT ONE QUESTION on the wars or defense spending. Also just went to take the RNC issues for Trump survey. Looked almost identical as the Democrats. HW, curious, when are you enlisting?
Cohen for tax evasion and campaign finance. Heavy duty stuff there.
I didn’t know we are directly at war with Iran. Huh!
How is it that “Right Wing” GWB and “Left Wing” Soetoro or whatever his name is both bombed the living shit out of everything but ISIS only grew? Trump is cleaning up their mess, wiping out all ISIS land in two years.
Aloha HW, I note your qualifier “directly” you dissemble the truth as good as any liberal–well done.
I am aware of the proxy war in Yemen. Iran/Russia vs. Saudi Arabia/Israel/USA, correct?
“Left wing” groups are by definition, egalitarian and democratic”
But we are talking about a sexual slavery cult with one man in total control of many, many women. They were branded with his initials.
Aloha HW, ” one man in total control” is the epitome of right wing ideology. Do you truly not know about the “leader principle”? Nothing “leftest” about it at all. You bring up as evidence of “left wing” their support of a corporatist, war monger. You need to do some serious reading. Try Hannah Arendt on the “Banality of Evil”, or Chomsky’s “Manufacturing Consent”. They are classic’s and should be taught in every school by middle school age. I am sure others on this site could pitch in with other works that would expand your mind and help you understand the world you life in.
You are the one trying to cast shade on Trump for “being” Right Wing. You understand there is a phony Left leadership but you can’t see Trump is destroying it and the phony Right both. Trump is going against everything the Obama/Bush/Clinton globalists did.
Chomsky, the gatekeeper said even if 9-11 was an inside job it doesn’t matter. We have much more important things to think about, he said. Hmmm, oookaaay…huh, wow! How would that not be REALLY fucking important if it is true? I mean people inside the government conspiring to do 9-11? I know you are serious about 9-11 truth so why haven’t you graduated from Chomsky by now? By the way I have a leftist pedigree that most people around here would envy, wobs.
Aloha HW, your seemingly blind faith in Trump belies any “leftest pedigree”. Giving the countries wealth to the kleptocratic class that supports Trump belies any “destroying” of the “Obama/Bush/Clinton globalist”. No body gets everything right by the way. Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky analysis of how are system works would help you better understand the world you live in. The earlier book by Arendt would help you understand how people fit themselves into that world and ultimately can become complicit in great evil. Your dismissal of reading some one based on some one feelings about 9-11 will ultimately leave you very ignorant and unable to understand events and people around you.
“seemingly”
That’s how it “seems” to you. I try to discourage any tendency toward ‘faith’ or even ‘belief’. Belief is the death of intelligence. For example I was decided against Donald Trump until the last minute when it came out that there was a fraudulent claim in the Katie Johnson case by the plaintiff. If the lawsuit was true then that would have been strong evidence Trump was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I saw the false claim and decided to take a chance that they were trying to frame him out of desperation.
I make it a habit to gather all information I can find and consider it deeply. When something appears to be true after careful consideration of all the information I find I might roll the dice and test my perception. So far I have been correct over and over on current events. No collusion for example to cite a major one that people here railed against, not to mention attacked me personally over and over for telling the truth about.
It’s not Chomsky’s feelings I am criticizing. His statement indicates he would not consider it to be important IF IT WERE TRUE. If it were true that elements of US government, perhaps high level Executive Branch officials deliberately caused or conspired to cause 9-11 to happen I am pretty fucking sure that would be about the biggest deal ever. For sure there would be executions for treason if the law was followed. There is no way IF IT IS TRUE that it would not be a huge deal. You know that. Wake up. Chomsky is a gatekeeper, keeping liberals in their intellectual pen.
Aloha HW, As I mentioned earlier, and as a dolt I know this very well, people are not right all the time. Chomsky is very perceptive, the liberal elite want nothing to do with him—when was the last time he was ever interviewed on MSM? For an understanding of the “Leader Principle” I recommend “My Struggle” by A. Hitler, and “The Doctrine of Fascism” by B. Mussolini. The Leadership Principles of Amazon is also an informative read. Most modern transnational Corporations utilize most of the basic principles in their organizational structures. Multi-level marketing schemes also generally follow the same principles. Of course many of these principles are also incorporated in Catholic Church doctrine, and emulated by mega-church preachers every where.
Aloha HW, if Chomsky is such a “gate keeper” for the left, why do suppose the MSM (which in the right wing narrative is controlled by the left) refuses to publish or talk to him?
https://www.rawstory.com/2016/10/noam-chomsky-reveals-the-political-mechanics-behind-his-gradual-expulsion-from-mainstream-media/?fbclid=IwAR1lGx-847kxyiGc1ZEOuF2AcH9Cy7Vwf-5NGLRIMmdV2sGV5SwJpko2bqo
2 Corinthians 6:13–15 13 Now in return for same, you also be open. 14 Do not be together with unbelievers. For what fellows has righteousness with lawlessness? And what has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has believer with unbeliever?
We must NEVER be with unbelievers in name or deed so the TRUMPet has sounded with the ARCHANGEL Michael PENCE to rid America of unbelievers because they are Satan’s army lined up at BORDER make wall to keep out no food stamps for unblievers soon rapture happen then people go be with GOD keep Satan’s army away so no in way when we LEAVE THIS EARTh then the abortionists and Satanists can have world where they do abortion every day the word is written no PRESIDENT is every better than TRUMP in history bring peace and end times to world we go out to Heaven leave illegals here
Chomsky is worshipped by semi-intellectual liberals. They didn’t have enough room at U-M when he spoke there. You cited him yourself. It’s not just being wrong, it’s being alarmingly dismissive of perhaps the greatest treason ever. Why would someone ever take that position and why wouldn’t people be like “wait…”?
You act like it’s a fact President Trump is consolidating power like some kind of fascist. That’s your bias talking. I see the President working to restore power to the people. Biased or perceptive? The economy is doing great, wages are up the most for blue collar workers, minority unemployment is at historic lows. I’ve mentioned things like this before and you just denied it. Maybe the numbers aren’t real but I suppose they are just as real as numbers from the same sources in the past.
Aloha HW, Yes people are hungry to hear what Chomsky has to say precisely because of the MSM’s persistent censorship of his ideas. You should spend more time reading, even those you disagree with. Economic numbers have pretty much been screwed up since Reagan’s days and his administration decision to include those in the military as being in the work force and employed. One of the key employment numbers is workforce participation rate, as this chart from the St. Louis Fed demonstrates the work force participation rate is still significantly below pre-2002 levels. If you look at the graph all the way to its inception in 1950, you can clearly see several trends. The first noticeable one is woman entering the workforce and the decline of single income households. You can also identify the Reagan change in statistical record keeping in 1980. As you can see the rate has barely changed under the “booming” Trump economy.
https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/labor-force-participation-rate
I read everything I can get my hands on, wobs. I know why they don’t like Chomsky: he maintains that Israel is a puppet of the USA, which is close enough to troubling questions to make them uncomfortable.
At least participation has gone up from Obama’s low. Looks like it went down, down, down during the Obama era.
Aloha HW, Yep. You can clearly see that there was growing weakness in the economy prior to the onset of the Great Recession. Obama’s ARRA (American Recovery Reinvestment Act) clearly stabilized a falling economy, but as all labor oriented economist said at the time, IT IS WAY TO SMALL, and the recession continues to today. Trumps tax give away’s have done nothing to alter things in any appreciable way. It was the Democrats failure to understand the consequences of this chart that led to Trumps election. His stupid tweet yesterday about the Lordstown plant being sold is just a small example of how clueless he is about the economy. The alleged purchaser of Lordstown is a company that lost 6 million last year, and this year has gross revenue of under 1 million so far this year. The 2020 election is up to the Democrats to loose. Trump is sure not doing anything that is going to help him win—which explains why he has to keep pumping his base up.
HW, both Manufacturing Consent and The Banality of Evil are still in print, and I imagine can be had cheap at the used book store on Cross. Amazon’s leadership principles are online and only take a few minutes to read. Hitler’s Mein Kampf you probably have to buy new. Mussilini’s Principles of Fascism is online. The basic Leadership Principle is “Do as the leader says”, “If you follow the leader, you too might get to become a leader some day”. Chomsky’s and Arendt’s book demonstrate what happens to society when we follow that principle.
But thousands of jobs are being added with major plants opening. The first plant in Detroit to open in forever is coming. We’ve been through this. Unemployment is down and wages are beginning to rise. Inflation is low. Trump’s economy is kicking ass. Wait till the Fed is gutted and we take control of our money back.
Aloha HW, here is a pretty good article that explains the latest jobs numbers, and why once you dig into the details, they are really not very good.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/51582.htm
Still better already than Obama had during his whole two terms. If they cook it for Trump they did for Obama. We saw that participation went down under Obama while unemployment went down simultaneously.
HW – you don’t start a war with China. You think this is a good thing? Trump has been lucky so far. This could be the thing that brings us all down.
Good thing Mayor Pete is waiting in the wings.
Good thing not to start a war with China? I suppose so unless they do something really bad. Not sure what your guy has to do with that. He wants war?
Revelation 19:11–21 Then heaven opened, and behold, white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True he judges and make war. Faithful and True eyes are like flame of fire and on Faithful and True head are many diadems, and he has name written that no one know but Faithful and True. Faithful and True clothed in robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God Faithful and True. Army of heaven in white and pure were following him on white horses. From Faithful and True mouth com sharp sword to strike down the nations by Faithful and True Faithful and True will rule them iron rod. Faithful and True will tread the cider press of the fury of the wrath of God . On Faithful and True robe and on his thigh Faithful and True has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
Bible say many things about CHINA and the TRUMPet of the archangel MICHAEL Pence say we fight satanic army of phone makers making phones let satan know where Crhistians are because they come across border and take EVERYTHING need to build a wall keep illegals and China out plus make everything higher priced so we can make things here in the US cause CHINA take BIBLEs away from people no President ever done more for Christians than Donald TRUMP protecting people from the sex workers and Chinese and migrants KEEP THEM OUT
““Pick any one sentence I wrote and prove it false.”
“How can something that didn’t happen be proven false? No one in the Trump orbit is going to prison but Cohen and that is for Obama era crimes. I never had to “pathologically grasp at a defense” but now you have to do exactly that.”
I don’t have to grasp at anything, because my comment, which was advice to Puzzled Pawn (PP) that arguing with a Trump worshipper about their pathological idolotry is futile, is true. I wasn’t talking to you in that comment, I was talking about you. And for two years you continue to prove I’m right!
I asked you to pick any sentence in my comment and prove it’s false. Won’t you even try? Let’s start at the beginning:
“I think by now it’s plain to anyone who reads HW’s posts (except maybe EOS) that his faith in Trump is absolute and unshakable.”
Do you dispute that Trump is your infallible idol? Is there evidence to the contrary in any single comment you’ve made during the past two years?
That’s ridiculous. You are so opposed to Trump you think people who don’t lie like you about him are his slaves. Bullshitty opinions is all you have. The FACTS are on my side. No collusion, bitch.
Trump could sacrifice and eat a baby and wear its face as a mask and HW wouldn’t say a thing about it.
That’s just your fantasy though. Your Democrat candidate was supported by NXIVM’s illegally bundled contributions in reality and you don’t say shit about that. How is ol’ Keithy-pie’s trial going? Bronfman and the Salzman’s pleaded guilty. Maybe Keith can use his NLP on the judge and jury and defend his not guilty plea!
I am a registered Republican.
You still don’t say anything about it.
Oh, we can talk about your “FACTS” in a minute, but I just wanted to make sure you had every opportunity to prove to everyone that you do not worship Trump as a matter of religious faith. You can’t think of even once where you questioned your faith in Trump? Your confidence in Trump remains unshaken? If so, let’s hear it. If not, let’s move on:
“To HW anything that casts Trump in a negative light is obviously made-up by his political opponents.”
Can you point to any comment where you agree with criticism of Trump?
I don’t practice faith. Read what I said to dogmatic dolt about it. You can’t just insist your opinion is the truth. Agreeing with criticism of Trump: show me the ‘critique’. Usually you are just going crazy with meaningless pronouncements. Erh, Drumpf is dis, ur dat, up iz down…
Why don’t you want to talk about NXIVM? Haven’t heard too much about it in the MSM? It’s been on a fair bit. “Conspiracy theorists” have been talking about the billionaire Bronfman’s for decades. Turns out Clinton donor Clare Bronfman funded NXIVM and kept teenage Mexican girls as slaves. I’m out of my mind though. Don’t listen to me.
Who is HW talking to?
Not too bright are you?
Well, since you don’t refer to anyone by name, it is impossible to tell who you’re talking to, if anyone.
I guess I take it for granted people are able to follow a conversational topic. I already said something to you about NXIVM so who else do you think I would be talking to?
I don’t know anything about NXIVM, not sure what you expect. I’m also not sure what this has to do with an uncritical approach to Donald Trump.
The informational post about NXIVM applies to all you clones though.
Oh, I thought that was stupid hick who was saying that. It was you or in other words you use stupid hick and anonymous both. Nice to know.
I am not stupid hick.
We’re talking about you, not me. Again, I ask you: of all the criticism of Trump that has been expressed on Mark Maynard’s blog, can you find a single response by you which does not attempt to deflect to the Democrats or Deep State Republicans? If so, point it out. If not, let’s move on to the next claim:
“HW is possessed by a pathological compulsion to grasp at any possible defense. Doesn’t matter how tenuous. Doesn’t matter how, ahem, cray.”
This is still my opinion after a couple years of observing you on this site. Am I wrong? Do you remember our first interaction, following Charlottesville? Do you still believe Richard Spencer and Jason Kessler are liberals who only pretend to be neo-Nazis, and the whole event was “stitched up” by them in order to make Trump look bad by association? That was pretty crazy in 2017, and it would be even crazier if your thinking hasn’t evolved since then. Spencer and Kessler did not cease to exist after Charlottesville. Has your opinion changed? Here’s your opportunity to make a case to everyone you’re not a conspiracy theory addled nut anymore.
Nothing about Kessler’s background that might lead to that suspicion, you think? I haven’t heard much from either of them for a while. “Unite the Right 2” was a dud. Haven’t heard from either except that one time Spencer came to East Lansing. They have had little to no visibility for a while.
I’m not trying to turn over a mountain of bullshit for no reason. Just look up whatever critique you want me to address. I’ve answered just about everything on the spot so you can look up my what I said if you want. Do you think it’s impossible you get everything wrong?
You say you are registered as republican. What repubs do you like?
How am I an addled nut when it’s been me and only a couple of others telling the truth about Trump and Russia and aaalll you suckers lied your ass off every day about it? For two years!

If the Deep State treasonous players don’t get indicted, I have serious doubts there will be another election. This Trump collusion/obstruction has run its course.
Democrats said that about Benghazi and the emails and the birth certificate but Republicans kept going.
Trump handed over all the documents Mueller wanted and he could not pin conspiracy on him. Clinton deleted emails and destroyed her devices so unless they have been recovered we’ll never know what she was doing. Equivalent?
4 Americans were left to die so that Clinton might cover up the fact that her State department was taking the weapons they supplied to Libya to kill Qaddafi to ship to Syria in the hope that they might overthrow a second sovereign leader.
Not at all equivalent to the fake news about Trump.
HW,
Both NSA and WikiLeaks have copies of the emails. Her cell on Gitmo better be ready quick.
Aloha EOS, “If the Deep State treasonous players don’t get indicted, I have serious doubts there will be another election. ” Sounds like you are counting on a Trump coup. Benghazi Benghazi, Benghazi , Benghazi , Benghazi, LOCK her up lock her up
No, not a coup. Just the opposite. I want justice. No one is above the law.
“Both NSA and WikiLeaks have copies of the emails. Her cell on Gitmo better be ready quick.”

You can deflect all you want, but your laughable interpretation of “true information” couldn’t be more off the mark. I get it that you like to fantasize about prosecuting Clinton, but you need to focus on reality. Trump is not squirming because the walls are closing in on Clinton. She didn’t pick Trump’s campaign manager, nor his national security adviser, who are both likely to be indicted. She didn’t attempt to obstruct justice by begging Comey to let Flynn go, and then fire him when he wouldn’t. It’s not Clinton who has to worry about Manafort or Flynn flipping on her. You’re so delusional I used to be mortified for you, but now I’m mostly just amused to see how many rotten apples you can keep pulling from the bottom of your crazy barrel. So please, keep the crazy fruit coming.”
Who is delusional now? Manafort is in prison and the President is fine. What’s going on with Michael Flynn? No flipping that I have seen. Nothing Mueller found incriminating for sure. In all likelihood he is about to be exonerated; fudged 302’s.
The Clinton Foundation is under investigation. The origin of the Trump investigation which she is at the center of is also under investigation. Another case of you morons describing yourself perfectly but projecting it onto someone else. You live your life that way every day. It’s absolutely mindblowing to think of the concentrated stupidity. You actually outgas toxic fumes of it.
The old Democrats are a mess.
Luckily we have Mayor Pete who’s young enough to be untainted by all of the yuck.
Finally a fresh start and someone who can beat Mr.Trump.
Thank you! I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect segue to reexamine the final sentence of my observation about Trump idolators in my 2017 advice to Puzzled Pawn:
“A year from now, if everyone around Trump is in prison, it will still have nothing to do with Trump.”
“Who is delusional now?”, you ask. Why, you are! Do I need to point out that on October 29, 2017 neither Manafort nor Flynn, who you bring up, had been indicted but now one is in prison and the other awaits sentencing? They’re not the only ones and we haven’t seen the end of it either, because nearly everyone in Trump’s orbit has proven to be corrupt. Oh hey, about your “FACTS” on Michael Cohen, saying he was sent to prison for “Obama era crimes” is a funny way to describe his conviction for campaign finance felonies committed “in coordination with and at the direction of Individual 1,” But back to my point, exactly as I predicted you delude yourself that none of it has anything to do with Trump! And also, as predicted, you attempt to deflect criticism of Trump with your pathetic conspiracy fantasies about Hillary Clinton! How could I be more correct, and how could you be more delusional?
You said Trump has to worry about those people but nothing happened to him. I wrote Cohen when I meant Manafort and corrected myself. You love to be ignorant though so you will try to appear to take advantage.
It makes no sense to say conspiracy theories about Clinton are pathetic. She is the one in the hot seat now. The President is fine after the glorious end of two years of people like you shoveling bullshit.
Duh, stupid derp. Don’t you know that “Individual 1” is not Donald Trump but actually Hillary Clinton?
What do you even mean by ” your pathetic conspiracy fantasies about Hillary Clinton!” You seriously don’t know she is in trouble? She paid for fake foreign intelligence to try to destroy candidate Trump. The fact that any American could ever be okay with that is shocking, let alone that you attack people who tell the truth about it.
Oh, Cohen paid some alleged lovers of the Don. That’s your big fuckin’ trophy?!
So if “my conspiracy theories” about Clinton turn out to be correct then you are the pathetic one, right?
Aloha Sad, Mike Gravel lays out a pretty good argument (to me any way–but I am a dolt so help me out) why voting for Mayor Pete is just voting for more of the same. I continue to believe that it is about issues and not persons, (but being dogmatic on this is probably wrong eh)?
https://twitter.com/MikeGravel/status/1126955068350189571?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1126955068350189571&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthehill.com%2Fhomenews%2Fcampaign%2F443223-gravel-says-he-misspoke-by-saying-buttigieg-doesnt-campaign-on-more-than
Aloha HW, what is going on with all those secret indictments you used to brag about? I here and see nothing, but with your powerful preternatural powers (after all you know who is being indicted) you should be able to tell us WHEN they are going to be issued. I’ve been waiting for nearly two years–what is the holdup?
You are not paying attention, wobs. Read Sara Carter. “Indictments are coming.” Read Q. Comey/Declassification/OIG Report coming in succession very soon.
The Mueller Report was a blockade against what is about to hit. Now the blockade is gone and the Patriots are free to beat that ass.
I noticed no one responded to that DOJ post I put up about the Malaysian financier and the Fugees rapper indicted for 21 million in illegal contributions to Obama in 2012. Tasty lil appetizer?
HW you’re living in the past.
Let’s start talking about 2020.
Do you really think Trump stands a chance against Mayor Pete?
Can’t you get your people to work more effectively to take out Biden?
I’m a man of the past
And I’m living in the present
And I’m walking in the future
Biden took himself out with all the things he said and did. All those racially insensitive quotes, the groping of women and small children, the corruption in Ukraine with his son Hunter…
I don’t consider you to be serious about Mayor Pete. You don’t really think he can win. It’s just something to hang your hat on for a while until Trump’s 2020 victory.
trump took himself out with all the things he said and did. All those racially insensitive quotes, the groping of women and small children, the corrupt business dealings with his sons and son in law Jared…
Oh that didn’t happen. It’s your own candidate who lowered the bar on what is acceptable behavior and use of power in office or in the world. Double standards aren’t going to hold.
It’s over. Anyone can win. The only way to restore balance and functionality to democracy is to select someone for the office who shows respect for democracy and cares about more than him or herself. There are plenty of good candidates among the Dems who meet that bar. They have a lot of good policy and leadership ideas to talk about. And that are uniformly articulate and well informed and… reasoned. The mud thrown won’t stick or divert. We have too much work to do. Crazy orange man waving tiny orange man yelling insults from the sidelines only draws attention to his own pathetic neediness and pettiness. The high road is the only road to success for Dems or the country. The GOP is so far off the high road I’m
Not sure they’ll ever be able to navigate their way back.
Trump’s calling the Dem slate of 20 a bunch of names— sleepy, dopey, grumpy, etc is only going to make clear the urgent need to replace him for even those people inclined to support some of his policies. There is an audience on both sides for the kind of people who think discourse is name calling and chest pounding. They are loud on social media but have been shown to be tiny in the general population and easily dismissed. Like waving off an annoying housefly.
Trump doesn’t do what Biden does. Have you watched Biden get his lecherous hands on little kids during the swearing in ceremonies? Why not? It’s all over youtube. What do you think he said to Maggie Coons? Oh, you don’t know who that is or how Biden behaved towards her. That’s right, because you love to be ignorant of things that go against your busted narrative. Mrs. Warlord reminds me that the President wanted to “call him something that rhymes with sleepy but he won’t…”
The road to High Treason is the only high road your people are on. They attempted to frame the President. Barr is “taking a look” at it. The OIG Report is coming. Regarding FISA abuse/spying the President has publicly promised to declassify “…EVERYTHING..a lot more than you would have thought…” Exactly what I have been saying he will do for a looong-ass time now. Criminal referrals are happening, indictments are starting to pop…I know you are supremely ignorant but even you won’t be able to ignore it very soon.
Sad

Only someone as insane as me could find such batshit craziness right? Yeah right.
The Saturday Night Live opening skit was funny last night.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy8w8-hjMjM
If Republican senators were less corrupt maybe fine people like Hyborian Warlord would be less mentally ill?
That makes a lot of sense, yes. Ha ha. That video clip is so funny. I’m a CIA fuckin’ clone and I can’t talk about anything real. My main goal in life is to try to find ways to ridicule people who tell the truth.
Aloha HW, The NXIVM sex scandal, and the illegal campaign investigations have nothing to do with the “secret indictments”. Both of these investigations have gone on for years, and the criminal indictments have bee public for years. I want you to use your super powers to tell me when the Qanon secret indictments (I hear it is 72000 now) are going to be used. Your constant bob and weave on this issue is distressing. I have asked you about this prophecy you have made numerous times and you tell me nothing that is not already in the media, and has nothing to do with the deep state. You keep wanting people to demonstrate when you have been wrong. Come on I’m on your side, give me something. Have I been nothing but a dolt thinking that anything you have to say is worth listening too?
I get the feeling that the new conservative pitch is to have a constant cliffhanger.
“Just wait, all will be revealed soon”
Don’t know what you are trying to say. The sealed indictments are on pacer.gov. Bob and weave? How? They’ll be unsealed when they need to be. You want the date when it will start or something? I never claimed to know that.
All I said about NXIVM is it funded Clinton and was funded by Bronfman and it is up on sex trafficking and related charges.
Re: Jho Low and Pras Michel their indictments on NEW CHARGES were UNSEALED last week so what are you talking about?
https://nypost.com/2019/05/10/feds-accuse-jho-low-pras-of-funneling-cash-to-obama-re-election-campaign/
The feds have slapped new charges against fugitive Malaysian playboy Jho Low — this time for alleged campaign-finance violations connected to President Obama’s 2012 re-election.
The latest allegations accuse Low of transferring $21.6 million to ex-Fugees rapper Prakazrel “Pras” Michel, who then moved $865,000 of that money to “straw” donors who contributed to an Obama fundraising committee.
The new indictment against the pair, unsealed Friday in Washington, DC, says the money was destined to “Candidate A.”
The link to Obama was first reported by Bloomberg News.
Michel is additionally charged with transferring another $1 million of Low’s money to an unidentified independent committee involved in the 2012 election.
“Michel recruited his friends, associates, and others to act as straw donors to make contributions,” the indictment alleges.
Bark Baynard had an article on NXIVM but took it down and now he won’t even talk about it. What happened, Bark? Roger Stone was briefly some kind of consultant for them so you thought it was a good thing to publish. Figured out pretty quick it is far more of a problem for your peeps, huh?
Mayor Pete really is the antidote for Trump. We need a new generation of leadership.
The olds have really screwed things up.
You seem intelligent HW. Do you really have no concern in regards to climate change?
This planet has been turning to desert for quite a while. Do you think carbon emissions are primarily at fault? You think carbon tax and everything that goes with that is the answer? It was about 18 years ago the Observer had their front page article on how it would look here in 20 years “if climatologists predictions come true”. Well, it doesn’t look anything like that. They had us practically dying of thirst but still being invaded by hordes of climate refugees. If anything it is cooler and wetter now than it was back then.
It just seems like there are a lot of unknowns and renewable energy sources would be a smart move either way.
I agree with the scientist that we are altering the climate which could have unforeseen consequences. Humans are powerful creatures. Our abilities are incredible.
I’m tired of old people and their limited understanding of what the world could be and how we should and could live.
Trump isn’t moving us forward in a way that I appreciate. I know you feel different and I respect that. The thing is that in the present it hards to know where he’s taking us. Only in retrospect will we really understand his presidency and it’s impact.
Tax livestock so high only only the rich can afford meat; economically enforced veganism. That will be great. We’ll be so weak we won’t be able to do shit. No one will have the strength to resist when they begin taxing our farts with ‘fartsmart’ sensors and analyzing our poop in smart toilets and monitoring our personal CO2 emissions and our global footprint and our wrongthink level and on and on.
It’s definitely cooler and wetter today.
I’m an advocate of Tesla technology. Do you think that is limited in scope? Free wireless electricity from the Earth not green enough for you? To me it’s ironic to see you talk like that. By the way did you know Uncle John Trump had access to Tesla’s files?
New Q, baby and very topical. I hope for your sake they are not talking about THIS week.
BOOM WEEK AHEAD.
Treason doesn’t pay well in the end.
Q
Attempts by Dems, FAKE NEWS, and those ‘guilty of TREASON’ to shape the public narrative [prior to] by providing FALSEHOODS will FAIL.
TRUTH TO LIGHT.
NO SLEEP IN DC.
Q
“PP, give up” […] “PP, you’re wasting your time”
Q.E.D.
It is a waste of time to try to force someone to conform to lies. That’s true. Especially someone like me.
I like Tesla cars, too. I have just moved to the area. Where is a good place to buy one around here?
I hoped I wouldn’t have to explain who Tesla was. It’s funny to see people who act like I am from another planet not know anything about this one.
Musk is transforming the entire industry, we need more leaders like him, people who are will to recognize that we need immediate action to deal with climate change and overpopulation.
Pretending not to understand is good defense.
“It is a waste of time to try to force someone to conform to lies. That’s true. Especially someone like me.”
I hope you get well someday, but I’m not very optimistic you will. My theory for the reason you have everything completely backwards is because you share the same animosity for the same people as Trump, first and foremost, Hillary Clinton. You are uncritical of his lies, because they appeal to you emotionally. No, nobody is forcing you to conform to Trump’s crazy lies. you just love that crazy shit. Good luck.
But you have lied about DJT over and over. You are the one who is diametrically opposed to the truth.
You lie about Hillary Clinton too. It’s true that members of a child trafficking sex slave cult were on the board of the Clinton Global Initiative and illegally bundled money to the Clinton campaign. You say it’s crazy to talk about that. Maybe reality is crazy, dude. Did you ever once in your life think about that? Anyone who actually deals with reality would seem crazy to you.
Not just any NXIVM/CGI members mind you but the source of funding to the cult to the tune of $150 million of the Seagram’s Liquor fortune; partners at Bronfman Rothschild. The Elite involved in child trafficking…Now where have we heard that before? Oh, yeah – I said a lot of things about that and so have a number of others on here. Whose comments are beating that ass today in light of what we know from the NXIVM trial?
I was reading today that Tesla has reduced the weight of lithium ion batteries. A major advance.
Revelation 22:15 Outside are dogs who practice magic, sex freaks, killers, idlaters and everyone loves lieing
The LIES that evil wicked people spread about TRUMPet and the archangel MICHAEL Pence will come back to enable child sex and cult forms of religion god does not like need to STOP Satan’s army at BORDER with the WALL Biden like Satan’s army keep them out with WALL now maybe he is the FRIEND of TRUMP in disguise help him win elected.
Your education has worked well. Nicola Tesla did not exist.
Tell us more about the Trump N Tesla connection HW. I’m curious to see how you spin this out.
PS I’m guessing most ppl here know who Nicholas Tesla was and what he did. We don’t always know how you have woven such random elements into your Trump idolatry cosmology so May make comments to emphasize the apparent randomness.
Did you know that Nikolai Tesla’s inventions were crucial to the development of Tesla vehicles?
I’ve told you about all I know: John Trump was tasked with reviewing Tesla’s notes for the government after he died. No spin. All you need to do is look it up.
Everything that uses AC power depends on Tesla’s inventions. I don’t think his car would have run on batteries. There is an induction motor in Musk’s vehicle I see…neato…
I suppose a car named Musk would have been less appealing…
Glib droll lib trolls
I’m just happy that MM allows a safe space for HW to express himself fully, completely, and in complete anonymity. My hope is that his catharsis here allows him to function in the real world adequately. Maybe there should be some community grant that could be used to defray costs, as it seems to be a useful service to continue. Is “Keep Ypsi Weird” still a thing?
You always say that but you have to ignore reality to get there. Oh, Nicola who? NXIVM what? Those don’t exist. You’re crazy. That’s feigned contempt and it isn’t doing shit. You know you are getting your ass kicked.
You are not only ignorant but you ridicule people who tell the truth. It’s not just passively being dumb but intentionally working against true understanding. To me that is one of the worst things you can do outside of really heinous crimes. To be human is to use reason so to abuse the reasonable is anti-human.
Has Trump finally met his match?
Will China call his bluff and give him the spanking he deserves?
AG Barr assigns U.S. attorney John Durham to investigate the origins of the Russia probe.
