It probably needs to be someone who recognizes that Trump is a bully, i.e., he will fold like a cheap card table if you get in his face, someone who does not back down and is willing to duke it out with him. In the televised debates, when he plays the snarking up behind you routine he pulled with Hillary, instead of ignoring him, stop your spoken reply, say into the mike, "Excuse me a moment." Walk up to Trump, TAKE HIM BY THE EAR like a naughty schoolboy, twist it - hard, and frog-march him back to his proper position. Tell him, "Stay!" while looking him dead-faced directly in the eyes. Then walk to your spot, never looking back (if you hear him approaching, turn and kick him in the nuts. "I will NOT be assaulted." Back to the mike and continue...

Duterte 2020?

YIKES!!! Burnings and shootings during the debate???

You know she'd choke him with that chain if she could too.

HAHA! YES!

US President Donald Trump has said he is worried he might face perjury charges if he gives statements under oath to the investigation into Russia's alleged role in his election victory.

This is amazing... yes Trump, that's every liar's fear in court isn't it. Fucking twat.

Rot in prison, scumbag

He's going to get a pardon from Drumpf. Fortunately, there are state-level charges against him as well, and he can't be pardoned for non-federal crimes.

Cohen just pleaded guilty to 8 federal charges, but again, he can be pardoned. What's more likely, though, is that he has dirt on Drumpf and will use it to get a better deal on his sentence.

Full confession by Cohen, committed crimes at the direction of Trump.

Oh shit son.

Manafort has flipped.

A few months in jail has that effect on people.

President Trump has surrounded himself with convicted felons and his enterprises are under investigation.

National Security Advisor Michael Flynn - pleaded guilty.[1]

President Trump's Personal Attorney Michael Cohen - pleaded guilty.[2]

Foreign Policy Advisor George Papadopoulos - pleaded guilty.[3]

Deputy Campaign Chairman Richard Gates - pleaded guilty.[4]

Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort - convicted on 8 Federal counts.[5]

The Trump Foundation is under investigation.[6]

The Trump Organization is under investigation and may face criminal charges.[7]

The Trump Organization's CFO Allen Weisselberg was granted immunity.[8]

A good friend of President Trump, David Pecker, has been granted immunity by Federal Prosecutors. Why is that important?[9]

Court papers in the Cohen case say Pecker “offered to help deal with negative stories about (Trump’s) relationships with women by, among other things, assisting the campaign in identifying such stories so they could be purchased and their publication avoided.”

The Journal reported Pecker shared with prosecutors details about payments that Cohen says Trump directed in the weeks and months before the election to buy the silence of McDougal and another woman alleging an affair, porn star Stormy Daniels. Daniels was paid $130,000, and McDougal was paid $150,000.

President Trump has been freaking out about criminals flipping.[10] President Trump said he knew all about "flippers" and that criminals flipping on other criminals should be illegal - a direct attack on prosecutors and the rule of law in America.[11]

President Trump is an unindicted co-conspirator. Michael Cohen incriminated the President while under oath when he pleaded guilty to all charges. President Trump directed Cohen to make illegal payments and Pecker can corroborate this.

President Trump's personal attorney and RNC Deputy Finance Chairman Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to charges laid out by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, while under oath he admitted to making illegal payments under the direction of then candidate Trump.[12] Lanny Davis, Cohen's attorney, went across the networks claiming his client had knowledge of topics pertaining to Special Counsel Mueller's investiation and that his client was willing to cooperate.[13]

According to court filings prosecutors say that President Trump's real estate company paid Michael Cohen $420,000 in an effort to illegally silence women during the 2016 Presidential Campaign, relying on sham invoices that concealed the nature of these payments.[14] In a completely separate investigation a New York state judge subpoenaed Cohen in the Trump Foundation investigation.[15]

While President Trump has attacked and distanced himself from his personal attorney, he has treated the Manafort situation completely differently. He has gone as far as considering pardoning his former Campaign Chairman, convicted felon Paul Manafort, because he hasn't "flipped." Let's see if the President's tune changes after this tentative plea deal.

Fox News reported that President Trump was considering pardoning Manafort.[16] President Trump followed up by tweeting his support of Manafort, claiming he was "brave" not to break under pressure unlike his personal attorney Michael Cohen.[17] It should also be noted that Manafort was convicted on 8 counts, is now a felon, and if it weren't for 1 juror irrationally holding out Manafort would have been convicted on all 18 counts.[18] And then we learned that President Trump had discussed pardoning Manafort weeks ago.[19]

Manafort has been convicted for 8 counts and is facing several years in prison. Moreover, the initial convictions are from Manafort's first trial, his second trial was set to begin later this month;

Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort has been found guilty on all 5 counts of tax fraud. Manafort was convicted on 1 count of failing to declare a foreign bank account and 2 counts of bank fraud.[1]

For those that don't know Manafort is facing two trials, the current one in Alexandria is about tax and bank fraud. Manafort's second trial is in Washington and begins in September,[2] it will address the fact that Manafort failed to register as a foreign agent among other crimes he has been indicted for.[3]

Other persons of interest who have been indicted, pleaded guilty, and/or convicted over the course of several investigations stemming from Russian election interference;

Richard Pinedo, who was not involved with the Trump campaign, pleaded guilty in a case related to the Mueller probe in February to aiding and abetting interstate and foreign identity fraud by creating, buying and stealing hundreds of bank account numbers that he sold to individuals to use with large digital payment companies.[4]

Konstantin Kilimnik, former Russian spy and Manafort's right hand man in Ukraine,[5] has been indicted by Special Counsel Mueller.[6]

Alex van der Zwaan, a dutch lawyer, pleaded guilty to lying to investigators and served 30 days in prison. He was deported following his conviction and time served.[7]

13 Russian nationals and 3 Russian entities were indicted earlier this year for their role in interfering with the 2016 U.S. election.[8] The Russian election meddling operation was a sophisticated attack against the West. This operation was funded through Russian fronts, including a catering company run by a close friend of Putin, Yevgeny Prigozhin. They used stolen American identities. Operatives bought political ads on social media sites. Operatives visited the United States, traveled across 9 states and discussed escape routes if they were caught inside the country. Operatives bought equipment including burner phones and SIM cards. The operation included hundreds of employees and millions of dollars, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein put it best - the Russians conducted information warfare during the election.[9] According to the indictment Prigozhin met Mikhail Bystrov, a leader of the Internet Research Agency (IRA), regularly in 2015 and 2016. Prigozhin funded the Internet Research Agency and their meddling of the American election. This was a sophisticated operation that spanned over several years. Prigozhin has been Putin's go to guy for under the table missions, including recruiting mercenaries for the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria.

Maria Butina was arrested and charged for conspiracy to act as an agent of the Russian Federation. The affidavit about Maria Butina included an interested nugget of information confirming that she had established a private line of communication between what is likely GOP leaders and the Kremlin, by using the NRA as a secure conduit for communication;[10]

12 Russian Military Intelligence Officers (GRU) were indicted in July by Special Counsel Mueller for their role with interfering with the 2016 U.S. election. The GRU (Russian military intelligence) hacked the DNC and shared the hacked material through their Guccifer 2.0 moniker via Wikileaks. Please read the entire document as it goes into excruciating detail on how the Russian military intelligence agency attacked the United States of America.[11]

Russian election interference is not a hoax. The investigations into Russian interference, the Trump campaign, and the individuals President Trump has surrounded himself with is not a witch hunt.

Anyone seen the Active Measures documentary? HOLY SHIT!

Haven't heard of it, is playable online? All I see are previews of it. Netflix or is in cinemas?

It was online on Youtube this weekend for free but got yanked due to copyright infringement. I'm sure it's out there for free.

No love for this video?

What an embarrassment to humanity!

I watched that documentary you mentioned, wasn't bad. I've done a lot of reading about he magnitsky act so I already knew a lot of it but caught a few things I didn't know. There aren't a lot of documentaries covering this yet cause it's still kinda new I guess. I'm kinda wondering what Michael Moore is going to come out with.

Holy shit that Swetnick affidavit
