“Democrats can’t find a Smocking Gun tying the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey’s testimony. No Smocking Gun…No Collusion.” @FoxNews That’s because there was NO COLLUSION. So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution,…
“No, the criminal campaign-finance violations were found by professional line prosecutors in a Republican-controlled United States Department of Justice. It looks like a pretty good case. Kudos to them.” Conservative attorney George Conway, the husband of White House adviser Kellyanne Conway @ 4:45 AM – 10 Dec 2018
“Frequent Trump critic George Conway ripped the president’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Friday for saying alleged violations of campaign finance law were not a “big crime” because nobody was killed or robbed.” https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/421368-george-conway-rips-giuliani-for-calling-alleged-campaign
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, except where nobody gets killed or robbed.”
The Reason Trump Tweeted Smocking Gun (why was it misspelled twice!?) Fake news MSM will not report this! Look at the timestamps of the Maestro’s two tweets (6:46 AM Dec 10, 2018) 6+4+6+1+0+17 and 7+0+0+10 =17 (7 AM Dec 10, 2018) YES, Q is the 17th letter of the modern English alphabet! Q646 Apache (Q1815) Go to 4:31 for analysis.
Note also the Urban Dictionary defines smocking as ‘body painting for sexual gratification’. However according to Merriam-Webster smocking is “a decorative embroidery or shirring made by gathering cloth in regularly spaced round tucks is a type of embroidery made of many small folds sewn into place.” https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/smocking
“News that President Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort provided 2016 presidential campaign polling data to Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian national with suspected ties to Russian intelligence, starkly contrasts with Trump’s repeated claims there was “no collusion” with Russia during his campaign. This is exactly what collusion looks like. What remains to be seen is whether that collusion was also a crime.
We’ve already seen the legal theory that could make Manafort’s sharing of the polling data a criminal offense. Last February, special counsel Robert S. Mueller III indicted 13 Russian individuals and three Russian companies for their alleged extensive efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election, primarily through the use of fake social media accounts. The lead charge in Mueller’s indictment was “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” Conspiracy — a partnership in crime — is the legal equivalent of collusion. It covers agreements to impair, obstruct or defeat lawful government functions, including those related to administering federal elections and to regulating the activities of foreign agents within the United States. Mueller charged that the Russian defendants engaged in just such a conspiracy by posing as American political activists and otherwise concealing their efforts to help Trump win the election.”

“Following Comey’s firing, the FBI opened a probe into Trump for possible obstruction of justice, as CNN has previously reported. Part of the impetus for the investigation, the New York Times first reported Friday, was whether Trump’s actions seemed to benefit Russia.
The congressional transcripts obtained by CNN reveal new details into how the FBI launched the investigation into Trump and the discussions that were going on inside the bureau during a tumultuous and pivotal period ahead of the internal investigation and special counsel Robert Mueller’s appointment.”
