Quotation from Quintillian, I believe (unless someone was fibbing about that too).

In court now:

P'rosecutor on Mueller’s team asks Rick Gates if he committed crimes with Paul Manafort.

“Yes,” Gates says.

First time a senior Trump campaign official has confessed to a crime on the stand.'

Gates' testimony feels like a gear change.

Trump can go suck a fuck-stick with his comments about the wildfires here in CA. The only environmental factor in them is global warming. "Water being released into the Pacific", what a load of shit. And what in the hell would that have to do with anything anyway. It's not like the water released from our reservoirs flow into the fucking forests! That water IS actually being used to FIGHT the fires, in the form of air tankers and helicopters with buckets! What an ignorant cunt!

My mother always told me that it was a sin to 'ill wish' someone. Sorry Mum, this time I'm afraid I'm going to have to toss out one of your lessons. I hope the bastard chokes on a cheeseburger!

'I have seen some cold stares in my life but watching Paul Manafort stare down his former deputy, arms crossed, as Rick Gates recounted the long list of his alleged crimes was remarkable.'

Interesting video.

If Trump-backed congressional candidate @TroyBalderson runs away from a question about Jim Jordan, how can Ohioans expect him to be firm in Congress? https://twitter.com/Americann_Bridge/status/1025770980478599168/video/1

I'm with you on that wish Across.

West Hollywood's City Council will vote on a resolution to permanently remove President Trump’s star from the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The resolution cites family separations, Trump's climate change denial and "his disturbing treatment of women" as reasons for removal. twitter.com/ajplus/status/1026547160802680833/photo/1

'News reporting, a complete fabrication, that I am concerned about the meeting my wonderful son, Donald, had in Trump Tower. This was a meeting to get information on an opponent, totally legal and done all the time in politics - and it went nowhere. I did not know about it!'

'In stunning testimony at Manafort's trial on tax and fraud charges, Gates stated he and Manafort had 15 foreign accounts they did not report to the federal government, and knew it was illegal. Gates said he did not submit the required forms "at Mr. Manafort's direction."'

thank you lion but I thought then the Oaf did admit knowledge? I may have dreamt it

Hopeful is always good.

Interesting read about QAnon for the uninitiated. ‘Anonymous’ has vowed to “bring them down”, and fair enough too, as conspiracy theories feed on already confused Conservative minds.

Manafort will be convicted. Scrotus will pardon him to buy his silence.

yolo I thought he had, too. But at this point he's admitted then denied then re-admitted then re-denied so many things that it's impossible to keep it straight. The Scrotus version of the old shell game; mix it up so often and confuse them so much that they'll just give up.

In the craziness that is this current moment, don't lose sight of how significant it is that Rick Gates — Trump's deputy campaign manager — publicly confessed today to being part of a criminal conspiracy involving Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

Across my mother always said never use the word 'hate' in relation to a person but I have well and truly thrown that one out. If Mar a lago was in Calif. I'm sure he'd be singing a different tune. Trump can FOTTFSOFATFOSM!

Giuliani preparing letter to Mueller expressing ‘real reluctance’ over obstruction questions

www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2018/08/06/giuliani-preparing-letter-to-mueller-expressing-real-reluctance-over-obstruction-questions/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.0660960b0639

Rudolph W. Giuliani, President Trump’s lead attorney for the ongoing special counsel investigation, said Monday that Trump’s legal team is planning to send a letter to special counsel Robert S. Mueller III this week that will largely rebuff Mueller’s latest offer of a presidential interview that would include questions about possible obstruction of justice.
“We have a real reluctance about allowing any questions about obstruction,” Giuliani said in an interview with The Washington Post when asked about the overarching theme of the letter.
He said he and other Trump lawyers have been discussing the details of a draft version of the letter in recent days and hope to send it to Mueller “sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday.”
Giuliani said he expects the letter to “continue the negotiations” rather than formally decline Mueller’s request.
“The president still hasn’t made a decision, and we’re not going to make a final decision just yet,” he said.

Across, that's exactly it with the shell game.

Stelter: President Trump is winning the story-telling game, with help from his friends in the media

Happy Birthday, Robert S Mueller III. 74 today.

I hope he has all of the Orange Orangutan's statements lined up alongside the appropriate criminal code.

UK poised to ask Russia to extradite Salisbury attack suspects
Exclusive: Kremlin certain to reject request that will reignite simmering diplomatic row
www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/aug/06/uk-poised-to-ask-russia-to-extradite-salisbury-attack-suspects

The move comes after months of painstaking investigation by hundreds of officers from the police and the intelligence agencies. They have pieced together the movements of the two Russians, from their entry into the UK through to their departure.
