I 100% guarantee you he wants the Olympics here so it can give Putin the excuse he needs to be allowed into the US.

Plus the FBI and the IC was already tracking and mentoring her an her associates activities for years, prior.

How can you hold the Olympics if there is a travel ban?
Guess he wants to brag about getting the deal for it since he won't show up personally to enjoy it.
It wouldn't be til 2024.

This company, which works with/for the company (Prevezon Holdings) owned by the son of the Russian transport minister, is dedicated almost solely to overturning the Magnitsky act.
She was denied a visa in January 2016 for her lobbying efforts, and sued for the opportunity to defend Prevezon in court, which is why she was allowed back in.
Her job revolves around repealing the act that financially harms her biggest government-linked client, and is a personal L that Putin fumes over to this day. Ironically, the official Russian state message is that the ban on Russian adoptions isn't because of the Act (because that would be petty and beneath him), so hragi stuck in the awkward position of having to explain both rationales on the front page of their website, and the lawyer has to frame all lobbying efforts around repealing the act "for the greater good".
Putin told me the best way to bribe and blackmail people. Money, hookers and cameras.

I'm sure this is not the case, but it's possible she could be working for one of the private individuals or companies affected by the Manitsky Act. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what Russia claims.
Of course he is, the Olympics is a big flashy meaningless spectacle so naturally Trump's into it. Fuck hosting the Olympics; it's a sucker's game.

Fixed.
I always chuckle at the "look at this story everyone! They have nothing on us!" when there are dozens of damaging stories every single month for over a year.
Oh yes. Let's gut healthcare, any form of government assistance for the poor and pour hundreds of millions into the Olympics. America, fuck yeah.
He does realize that Mueller and company have much, much more doesn't he? This stuff is from the WHITE HOUSE.
Do these idiots also have idiot lawyers?

I love their ability to NOT shut the fuck up. It makes it easier.
He really believes that this story was and is the only one that matters. When it's one of many that finally connect that middle peice. Along with whatever else is coming.
But I guess getting that mob lawyer doesn't help him. Should follow the path of Jared and Manafort and not damage yourself even more.

Unless mueller doesn't. So the WH leak was preemptive.
Really hoping for team mueller to lay the smackdown though.
Isn't checking with the investigation if it's ok to release to the public one of the checks that are done?
I imagine that would mean Mueller's group would have already known about this stuff, and is ok with having it revealed.
Could even help them by seeing what the roaches do when the light is shined on them.

Even throwing Mueller out of the equation, the white house leaks alone are MUCH MORE than just this one story.
It is like they can only pay attention to one thing at a time, and hope that enough Americans do the same.

I 100% guarantee you this is a silly post.
Especially when the much simpler reasons is it's a negotiation win for him, and someone like him worships big, televised events like this.
Even if all that is true, I still don't see the Mueller report coming out anytime soon.
I genuinely think we need to wait 18-24 months before he and the SC team lay it all out for us, they'll just let Trump and his cronies continually step on their own feet without a peep coming out.
The man by all accounts is incredibly thorough and extremely secretive to not taint investigations.

This is what I've been wondering as well. Isn't not talking about the case you're under suspicion for like the first thing they tell you to do?

There is so much information floating around on Rob Goldstone's Facebook page. Including this photo of him:
Link.
Can't really be sure of the date, but it looks to be sometime around the 9th November 2013 which was when the Miss Universe 2013 competition was held. This seems to put him in the same place as Trump at around the same time.
Also mentioned on that post is someone called Roman B, who works at Crocus Group. Crocus Group is the company who hosted the 2013 Miss Universe competition, which was hosted at their Crocus City Hall venue.
Crocus Group was co-founded by Aras Agalarov, who has also has a relationship and history with Donald Trump. Link. He was also mentioned frequently in the Steele document.

Honestly, if I can just stumble on this shit in about 10 minutes of browsing, I can only imagine what kind of shit is being unearthed in the actual investigations.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
You would think so, and yet here we are.
LA mayor and Jerry Brown should tell him nope.

It must be serious if Trump is refusing to tweet about it. He's never shown such restraint.
Because of a tweet about the Olympics?

Look how innocent he sounds. And by innocent I mean 10,000 percent guilty.
Gloating about getting away with wrongdoings works in the business world, but this an investigation into the WHITEHOUSE. Mueller is going to eat this overly confident dimwit for lunch. What a fucking dumb ass.

Has Fox & Friends covered it? Seems like that's where he primarily gets his news.
They are still covering Hillary Clinton. Because they never wanted 2016 to end.

That's probably why he hasn't tweeted about it then.
They wanted it to end. They wanted to cover Hillary for the next 4-8 years just like how Republican congress wanted to be obstructing instead of governing.

Yea I was wondering why not tweet from shithead about this but he only listens to Fox and friends for his intel.
Looks like they have on twitter, but I don't know if it was on the show.

And the ironic part is that the latest incriminating evidence for Trump Team + Russian collusion is directly connected with...Hillary Clinton emails.

We don't got that long. The GOP, with their mission to dismantle all things Obama, regardless of their recent backtracking due to huge public backlash, but you know if they could get away with it. They would and they are trying to put in wackjobs, into judicial postions to influence things even more and Trump postion picks to important offices are fucking shit up, as they fire lots of experts in their fields.
Amongst other shady shit.
Being thorough doesn't nesscarily mean slow or fast. It depends on the circumstances.
I'm pretty sure that the Olympics are already locked in. We get one and Paris gets the other between 2024 and 2028.
How much time we have is irrelevant. Investigations don't normally build up that fast. Honestly, I feel like the FBI's investigation will finish before Muellers.
Fair enough you want results asap.
I see the orange man is steadily dismantling several aspects of your government and de-regulating the shit out of everything according to NYT today.
But still if you want to nail this SC thing 100% effectively, because history is on the line here, you've got to be patient and let this all play out even if it is long term.

You know how most conspiracy theories are bogus, from the simple reason that so many people would have to keep quiet that it's implausible?
This who story is like the contrapositive of that. A story that probably is real and indeed has leaks and squealers all over the place.
It's fun to watch.

At this point it feels like the dog is eyeing the tailpipe and wondering if he can have sex with it, not realizing what a bad idea that would be...

This seems like a true bombshell to me.
This directly contradicts the flat statements made by Trump, Pence, and everyone else all along that no one connected to Trump met with Russians about the campaign.
It's illegal in itself since the meeting was not disclosed on the security forms.
It's probably illegal as an attempt to receive a "thing of value" (valuable information) from a foreign national related to a campaign.
The lies from everyone involved strongly suggest that they are attempting to hide the real nail in the coffin, most likely direct collusion over the email leaks and possibly/probably talks about the quid pro quo of easing sanctions.
My last worries that "maybe there's really not anything illegal" have evaporated.

I thought we wouldn't get a smoking gun until the investigation was complete.
Fuck me if it appears that I'm wrong.
