Someone should make a thread about the fact that Flynn has been objectively caught violating the Logan Act.

I would wait until that's officially determined/announced by an official statement, I think.

 

[Chococat]

Haha half the time I'm following this shit I'm convinced I'm the next Alec Jones. Shit's insane

I can understand why conspiracies are appealing, though. Who doesn't want this to all be real?

I don't want it to be real for how it will fuck up the country for years to come.

But I definitely want it to be taken care of cause it is too important to be ignored. Definitely on team investigate.

 

[jstripes]

Legit, this has already gone MUCH further than I expected it to. Regardless of the outcome of this investigation there is an enormous dark cloud over Trump's presidency and he will be watched like a hawk by everyone.

I expected it would go pretty far. It's just going a lot quicker than I expected. They probably want to get some momentum on it before inauguration, in case Trump tries to drop a roadblock.

I think they might crack if they've been up to no good. Give them an olive branch on the side and it may blow the lid off. What side do they want to be on. Wouldn't you be worrying soon if you were on the Trump team.

Loyalty has its limits in circles like Trump's. Unless Putin is breathing over their shoulders, give them a solid threat and a way out of it and they'll sell each other out to save their own ass.

 

[mAcOdIn]

And honestly, I would bet a majority of conspiracy theorists are right wing/Republican/Trump supporters.

This is just going by my experience on the major sites and as a listener of shows like Coast To COast with Art Bell (who is an avid Trump supporter).

But Art Bell hasn't done Coast to Coast in years, But yeah, I'd also say more conspiracy theorists are conservatives than not.

 

[Nafai1123]

Opening up his taxes to public scrutiny can easily show that he's been blatantly lying about conflicts of interest across the world, not just in Russia. Supposedly he has serious conflicts of interest in China that haven't even been discussed.

 

[CoolOff]

The Logan Act?

 

[TestOfTide]

How would tax returns sink him, surely you don't put your dodgy deals in them and keep them off the books.

Because if his tax returns go public, you have millions of people who will see them, and SOMEONE will find parts where he is lying.

You know what they say: "Follow the money".

Depends on the conspiracy. Chemtrails have a big crackpot left-wing following, for instance.

 

[International Iron Man]

Eh, anonymous info dumps can also be useful (if much harder to prove); I'm not expecting people to come forward immediately but whistleblowing treason has to come with protections, right? That's a whole other level

Protections from who? The GOP won't protect you, and they control every level of government and the majority of state legislatures. So who? They don't care about the law or the constitution, so...

I have faith your country will emerge stronger, though. Most people do hate the man, and this is a chance for your country to fight for it's morals.

And fuck me, your country (and the planet) might not survive 4 years of Trump.

 

[ZOONAMI]

But the Whitehouse's response seems completely flaccid.

No boner. No boner. Flaccid.

 

[Mully]

Hmm pretty good way of thinking about things. But a friend from Canada was in my town yesterday and I was talking about all of this Russia news. While talking I kept on thinking, "Man this shit sounds too crazy to believe."

With
I'm not chastising you, but this shit actually sounds crazy.

Hell, go look back at how quickly Roger Stone tried to backpedal after he claimed to have ties to Wikileaks.

Here are the people that will be questioned:

- Rudy Giuliani
- Roger Stone
- Carter Page
- Paul Manafort
- Michael Flynn
- Corey Lewandoski
- Boris Epshteyn
- Michael Cohen
- Donald Trump

Someone's gonna break under pressure.

 

[jelly]

If there are state sponsored Russian deals they don't have to be dodgy, and likely wouldn't sink him, but it would further the conflicts of interest problems and further put a Russian stink all over his presidency.

Oh right and that would another lie on his part too.

 

[Evolved1]

No boner. No boner. Flaccid.

Sorry, over my head.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

But Art Bell hasn't done Coast to Coast in years, But yeah, I'd also say more conspiracy theorists are conservatives than not.

No he hasn't, but he had his little show Midnight In The Desert; many of his listeners still tune in to Coast to Coast, etc...Just saying, that scene is predominantly right-leaning.

You mean George Noory? Noory is a crackpot.

History probably didn't unfold as we've been told countless times by those in power nor the conspiracy theorists...they are all idiots....especially George Noory.

I mean both really. Art just happens to have a bigger following and I was merely referencing his audience, who gather mainly on another forum where Art used to post frequently.

You are going to need hard proof and its going to need to show up soon before they have a chance to disappear it once they are in full control.

Yep this probably all goes away in 7 days.

I think they might crack if they've been up to no good. Give them an olive branch on the side and it may blow the lid off. What side do they want to be on. Wouldn't you be worrying soon if you were on the Trump team.

Hmm, work for the new president or be on his bad side? Not sure there is much they could do to put fear into people within 7 days.

CNN is saying this decision was made in the last 24 hours.

They will be looking specifically to find links between Trumps team and Russia or Russian middlemen.

Probably that and todays. When everyone was screaming at James Comey.

Rudy or Corey gonna be the first to snitch. Flynn probably not, being a military guy. Manafort ain't snitching because he doesn't want his family to come up missing. Cohen maybe, but he's a lawyer so he's only turning over if there is absolutely no way else to save his ass.

Would have to be extraordinary to get PE-Trump in. I can see them calling in Trump Jr, over his comments to get him under oath.

 

[GTI Guy]

Nothing is going to happen before inauguration day right?

 

[smokeymicpot]

Probably not but would be sweet if it happens day of.

Getting sworn at the same time as a Federal investigation doesn't look good.

 

[wesleyshark]

I would imagine it depends on if they find stuff, what that stuff is, and when they found it.

 

[Mully]

Nothing is going to happen before inauguration day right?

At this point? Nothing.

Who knows in the coming days?

 

[Dr.Acula]

Depends what you define as "nothing."

Hope they're working on this 24/7 for the next week. Somebody deliver them some Adderall

I have not gotten any work done since yestermorning. This is nerve-wracking. Paced like that french film "Z".

Senator on CNN saying Tillerson's confirmation is definitely in doubt now.

He does dark matter now... I think he may have stopped but as recent as.. 2014...

Given how deeply entrenched Tillerson already is with Putin, not surprised.

 

[sir_kevith]

One thing about getting his tax returns we'd be able to scrutinize his business. If it's not squeaky clean and he's fuckin workers and communities over you can build resentment in the economically anxious.

Good these reports probably helped a lot.

Fair....it would seem that nothing is gonna bring Trump down before inauguration day at this point.

Sounds like a lot of shit is going down

 

[teacupcopter]

I don't understand what Tillerson has to do with this latest stuff (not complaining but just don't know) and I really don't understand this Russian Ambassador / Syria stuff. This is all moving too fast

Tillerson has ties with Russia and Putin. It has been a wild ride.

This guy was the writing on the wall. Rubio was killing him on Wednesday. His only answer to everything regarding Russia & Putin was "I need more information"

Hope this doesn't take any of the spotlight off Trump and his ties to Russia, and if anything bolsters the need to finally investigate his relationship with them during his campaign.
