No, I don't thinks so. It was more than a sham, it was a coup attempt. The price for this is still yet to come.
I doubt it. If such an incident happened and was recorded it would be digital. Russians are little behind the times but I doubt they're still using tape.
REPUBLICAN GROUP WILL RUN AD ON FOX NEWS URGING GOP TO HOLD TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE: 'NO EXONERATION, DEFINITELY OBSTRUCTION' Republicans for the Rule of Law, a conservative group whose stated purpose is "defending the institutions of our republic," will run an advertisement on Fox News over the weekend urging GOP lawmakers to hold Trump accountable over the findings in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference and possible collusion between the Trump campaign team and Kremlin officials. The highly-anticipated 448-page report, with redactions, was released by Attorney General William Barr Thursday morning. It details the nearly two-year investigation, which resulted in 199 criminal charges and more than 30 individuals and organizations facing indictments or pleading guilty — including six former Trump associates and three groups linked to the Russian government. Mueller’s team revealed a number of questionable actions attributed to Trump and his inner circle, dating from his 2016 presidential campaign through to his tenure in the Oval Office. “It's clear from the report today that there's a lot of political interference that was attempted [by Trump],” Sarah Longwell, executive director of Republicans for the Rule of Law, told Newsweek. “This is not the end of the Mueller investigation, this is just the beginning. It looks like the Mueller report really is a road map for Congress. And that there was no exoneration, definitely obstruction.” The group, which aims to “protect [Mueller's] investigation from political interference by the president,” was established in March 2017 when reports began emerging of Trump's intentions to potentially fire Mueller. The documents released today revealed that Trump had indeed tried to dismiss Mueller in June 2017, but that then-White House Counsel Don McGahn refused, saying he would rather resign. Over the weekend, Republicans for the Rule of Law will air an advertisement on Fox News urging GOP lawmakers to hold Trump accountable for “lying” and “obstructing justice,” like Republicans had done with former Democratic President Bill Clinton more than 20 years ago, when a GOP-led House succesfully impeached Clinton on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. Clinton was subsequently acquitted on all charges after a trial in the Senate. “The Mueller Report revealed multiple instances of President Trump lying and obstructing justice. Twenty years ago, Republicans denounced a Democratic president for lying and obstructing justice,” the 34-second advertisement’s opening reads, before cutting to old clips of GOP lawmakers condemning Clinton on Capitol Hill. “Republicans stood for the rule of law then. We should stand for the rule of law now,” it concludes. The advertisement’s goal, according to Longwell, is to “encourage speaking up from Republicans." "They need to grapple with what’s in [the Mueller report,] which is incredibly disturbing," she said. “We're not urging impeachment or any kind of action other than Congress, specifically Republicans, should join the Democrats, to investigate the matter for fully and come to some conclusion about accountability.” Within the clip is footage of “Republicans talking about how you cannot lie to the American people, you cannot obstruct justice, you must tell the truth, that the president's not above the law, and we just believe those same rules very much still apply to this president,” said Longwell, adding that the group wants to see Republicans “act like a congressional body with equal powers and to provide a check on a president who clearly from this report does not respect the rule of law.” Mueller clarified in the report that his probe could not establish that Trump’s team had conspired with Kremlin officials to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The investigation did not ultimately make a determination on whether or not Trump obstructed justice. However, the special counsel did conclude that Trump failed to obstruct justice "largely because" his aides "declined to carry out orders.” “If we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state,” the Mueller report stated. “We are unable to reach such a judgment.” “The President's efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the President declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests. While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him," it added. https://www.newsweek.com/republican...-urging-gop-hold-trump-accountable-no-1400970
So Mueller follows the law and the OLC’s ruling that a sitting President cannot be indicted. He proceeds to outline multiple ways in which the President potentially obstructed justice and instead of making a ruling (which would then be attacked for being biased from either side), allows the data and facts he collected to be presented to Congress and leaves the final decision up to them, our elected officials. Mueller respected our constitution and did it the President’s way AND STILL you guys act like nothing is wrong. Have you even read a single page of this fucking report? We’re fucking Americans. The saddest part of this entire fiasco is that the right has dug so far in on the side of Trump (regardless of if he’s telling the truth or not) that they refuse to see how the institutions they hold so dear are being rotted from the inside. I don’t care if it was a Republican or a Democrat in office, if you’ve spit on the law of the land like this Administration has done for the past two years you can get the FUCK out of office. It’s not about who is right or who is wrong, it’s about doing what is right at this point.
"It's clear from the report today that there's a lot of political interference that was attempted [by Trump],” Sarah Longwell, executive director of Republicans for the Rule of Law, told Newsweek. Examples Sarah? "The Mueller Report revealed multiple instances of President Trump lying and obstructing justice,” the 34-second advertisement’s opening reads. One will do.. "They need to grapple with what’s in [the Mueller report,] which is incredibly disturbing," she said.” I want to be disturbed, please? I'm ready to grapple...
The whole thing was based on a sham. Those who targeted Trump to get him out of office by any means need to be rounded up and locked up. They lied, they fabricated evidence, if there was collusion, it was between the deep state and the media. It was nothing less than an attempted coup and should be handled as such. The left is grasping at straws and their narrative shifts as they keep on getting proven wrong. This romaticized notion of the United States does not exist anymore.
Oops. Australia ready to confirm 16’ NY Times story that Papadopoulos told them Russia had the dirt on Clinton. Which confirms that these investigations were started properly with Signals Intelligence rather than with the perfectly legal FISA warrant on Carter Page. Bad news for GOP propagandists.
