It’s a National Non-Emergency: Trump thread 91

[TheClaws]

Here we are in February 2019 - Trump has declared a National Emergency to funnel the funds for his border wall, he’s just come off a ridiculous SOTU that contained more lies than not, and he’s just tweeted this:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago

“These guys, the investigators, ought to be in jail. What they have done, working with the Obama intelligence agencies, is simply unprecedented. This is one of the greatest political hoaxes ever perpetrated on the people of this Country, and Mueller is a coverup.” Rush Limbaugh

But here’s a reminder he’s not one of the sharpest tools in the box.

Indeed.

I'm betting on a Harris/Newsom Dem ticket.

Too California?

It's possible.........Only one will,survive, though.

Trump's 35th appeals court judge confirmed. This also flips the 3rd Circuit from majority Dem appointees to majority GOP appointees. This is the first of the circuits to flip since Trump took office

Thanks, lion.

Today is Manafort's sentencing in DC. Max possible is 10 years and she will also decide if it will be served consecutively or concurrently.

Slated to begin at 9.30 ET. So about 20 minutes from now.

Thanks Across.

What is the latest on a possible pardon, Across?

Lying toad.

'Manafort makes a last-ditch appeal: "Your honor, I will be 70 years old in a few weeks. My wife is 66. I am her primary caregiver...this case has taken everything from me already. Please let my wife and I be together."'

“Court is one of those places where facts still matter.” says the Judge.

She's on a roll ...

'BREAKING: Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentences Manafort to 60 months on count 1, which will run concurrent to 30 months of EDVA, and 13 months on count 2 to be served CONSECUTIVELY to sentence on count 1 and sentence imposed by EDVA.'

ABC news:

Will serve 7.5 yrs less 9 months time served. So 6 years 3 months by my reckoning

And from another Jackson (Samuel. L):

Please let my wife and I be together

Did anyone ask his wife?

Too short sentences, but, hopefully, a clear warning.

Wow. Downing is saying that Judge ABJ found that there was no evidence of Russia collusion. Protesters shout out “LIAR” and “THAT’S NOT WHAT SHE SAID.” (They’re right, it’s not what she said. She said this case had not addressed the collusion question.

To my knowledge pardon is still up in the air cozie. I believe the last word from Scrotus (or Huckleberry Slanders) was that it 'wasn't off the table'.

It's fingernails on the blackboard to me to hear the lawyers say 'See, no Russian collusion" because it's totally irrelevant to the case at hand!!! It's like a defendant facing trials for robbery and an unrelated murder and their lawyer coming out of the robbery trial shouting "See, no murder!!!". ARGGGHHHH!!!!!!

I wonder what calculations are being made on the 'pardon' front.

You can’t pardon a state crime

Mortgage fraud, falsifying records & other counts.

The concern is that his legal team will raise a 'double jeopardy' issue.

An attorney who said he was speaking with President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani reassured Michael Cohen in an April 2018 email that Cohen could "sleep well tonight" because he had "friends in high places," according to a copy of an email obtained by CNN.
