The connections to the money trail are already taking shape. These grifters cant help themselves it’s in their blood.

Sam Patten pleading guilty and is now cooperating with Mueller. I figure we will see more in Manaforts upcoming trial.

Although Special counsel Robert Mueller referred the Sam Patten FARA investigation to the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office, we now know why Patten was on Mueller's radar.

Helsinki. They’re best friends now. Repaired 70 years of hard feelings.

It’s a weird thing to wake up every morning, check the news, and have your first thought be “What the hell is he on about now?”

Under every other president of my lifetime, I came to expect a certain low level of class, decorum, professionalism, and competence to be achieved. Not anymore.

Then you must have really been upset when Obama was putting his feet up on his desk. Nothing is lower than that.

Oh, I forgot about that. And the tan suit too.

I must’ve blocked out that psychological wound.

You know, I actually was going to work the tan suit into my reply, but I decided one example was good enough to make my point.

So there was a nod and no meeting. Ok. No story here.
Of course, I’m sure Trump will remember that nod and what he meant by it.

From the article:

(CNN) — Convicted former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos has publicly contradicted Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ sworn testimony to Congress, saying both Sessions and Donald Trump apparently supported his proposal that Trump meet with Vladimir Putin during the 2016 campaign, according to a court filing late Friday night.

“While some in the room rebuffed George’s offer, Mr. Trump nodded with approval and deferred to Mr. Sessions who appeared to like the idea and stated that the campaign should look into it. George’s giddiness over Mr. Trump’s recognition was prominent during the days that followed,” Papadopoulos’ lawyers wrote in a court filing Friday. Papadopoulos’ legal team said that he has shared with special counsel Robert Mueller his recollections of the March 31, 2016, meeting.

Are you Trump-haters really that desperate?

dantes · 2018-09-01T20:14:13.031Z

I don’t see where the story is here. The story doesn’t tell us anything we don’t already know.

Protect your Master

The lawyers for former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos say in a new court filing that their client lied to the FBI about his contacts with Russians because he was seeking to get a job in the administration at the time and wanted to preserve his loyalty to “his master” — an apparent reference to President Trump.

Anytime CNN uses words like Claims or Unknown Source just move on to another story. You’ll end up hearing what Paul Harvey used to say (The Rest Of The Story). One more thing CNN & USA Today it’s as classless as it gets using Meghan McCains heartfelt tribute to her war hero father as a political jab at Donald (Pumpkin Head)Trump. Watching this class A articulate young woman the last couple of years if that was about DT I’m more than certain she would of held his feet to the fire even in that situation by name. This is a young woman who I can see as the First Female President Of The United States Of America. God Bless you and your family Meghan.

At this point the rats are throwing each other under the bus, bottom line Mueller knows whats up, people can keep hedging and spinning but mark my words when this is over Mueller is going to lay down the boom.

“President Trump nodded with approval when a former campaign adviser suggested a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2016, according to a court filing by lawyers seeking a lighter sentence for the adviser, who has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his Russia contacts during the campaign.”

First I don’t care for either party the only purpose they serve is to create division among the American citizens, that being said here’s a question, how many times have we heard even before DT took office, news outlets acting like Chicken Little trying to convince the American people the sky is falling? It’s turned into The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Even the old saying “only believe half of what you see and none of what you hear” doesn’t even apply anymore. When I see DT shackled, cuffed and stuffed I’ll believe it until then keep this in mind, “BAD FACTS ARE FREE & GOOD FACTS ARE EXPENSIVE”

That’s about the best we can expect from a Trump hire.
