What do you see in your crystal ball? ;D
The stuff leaked from the report, which isn't released by Rosenstein, it's released by the FBI IG, all describes Comey damaging Hillary's election chances. It's going to be funny watching Trump get outraged at how Comey helped him win. And it doesn't help the deep state were trying to get Trump to lose argument, does it?
If Lynch is found to have had conversations with the subject of an FBI investigation about that investigation then would you say this is a bad thing? That the AG and the subject should face some sort of criminal penalty? If Bill Clinton did try to influence Lynch over the investigation should he face some sort of criminal charges for doing so?
New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood on Thursday filed a sweeping lawsuit against the Donald J. Trump Foundation and its board of directors — the president and his three eldest children — for engaging in “a pattern of persistent illegal conduct.”
The lawsuit claims Trump’s foundation “illegally provided extensive support” to his 2016 campaign. It also alleges that the foundation engaged in “willful self-dealing” to serve Trump’s personal and business interests.
Underwood asked a state judge to dissolve the foundation entirely. She also asked that its remaining $1 million in assets be distributed to other charities, that Trump pay at least $2.8 million in restitution, and that Trump be barred from leading any other New York nonprofit for at least 10 years.
The charity’s directors, President Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump were sued in their individual capacity, putting them personally on the hook for the repayment of funds.
Trump’s children were on a board that “existed in name only” and did not meet after 1999, according to the lawsuit, leaving their father without any oversight, and allowing him effectively to do with the foundation what he wished.
“The Trump Foundation was little more than a checkbook for payments from Mr. Trump or his businesses to nonprofits, regardless of their purpose or legality,” Underwood said in a statement on the results of her office’s 20-month investigation.

Oh Kirkland, Kirkland Kirkland.....it really will be a rude awakening for you ;D
In the coming months we will find out an awful lot about Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton's tarmac meeting.
To be fair he isn't the most accurate with words even when he isn't lying. He has a kind of limited vocabulary, he always seems to me to be struggling for the right word to use but he can't and then falls back on a tried and tested one. He'll have been hearing the word "regime" a lot in the buildup to Singapore and it probably just popped into his head.Quote:

IG report comes out Thursday, Rod Rosenstein will be gotten rid of because the IG report will be HEAVILY redacted. There will be an Executive Order to declassify some of that material.
Can you point to where exactly any of that is in any of the articles you posted. It's common knowledge now, you must be able to find it somewhere.
LOL if The Trump Foundation is "little more than a checkbook for payments from Mr. Trump" then what does that make the Clinton Foundation? :-XQuote:

Who is going to face charges? How can the media prevent the DOJ acting on evidence they have?
Secondly, Rosenstein didn't sign any FISA warrants to spy on Trump. He signed the application for a FISA warrant to monitor Carter Page, somebody who had previously worked for the Trump campaign but had left the campaign months previously to when the warrant was applied for. The warrant was issues, meaning a FISA judge was given evidence that warranted issuing the FISA warrant. The FISA warrant was also renewed twice subsequently at six month intervals, which means that there had to be evidence collected via the warrant in the previous six months that warranted the warrant being renewed. No evidence collected in the six month preiod, no warrant renewal.
Rosenstein's part in applying for the warrant was completely legitimate. The warrant then allowed the FBI to collect evidence on Page that justified the warrant being renewed twice.
Do you have any information that says Rosenstein was involved in applying for warrants to actually monitor Trump or anybody else close to Trump? Where did you get it from?
The last time we had some out of context quotes provided they turned out to be innocuous. Further texts released showed both these people hated Hillary too and the only candidate they wanted to win was Kasich (?), a Republican.Quote:

So far you've said that a report will be heavily redacted and a man not involved in issuing the report will be fired because of him redacting it, the president will force the report to be unredacted, criminal charges will be brought against Obama, Hillary, Bill and Comey and it's only taking so long because the media are somehow suppressing the evidence. And that Rosenstein approved a bunch of FISA applications to spy on Trump and people around him. You've provided zero evidence to back any of these claims up.Quote:

As far as Rosenstein being impeached. He explained to Nunes and his gang the other day that if they impeach him that would allow him to subpoena them and all their communications to find out exactly what they've been up to over the past year or so. They'd also have to testify under oath. They dropped all talk of impeaching him and are now bleating that he threatened them. A whole bunch of DOJ and FBI officials present say that's nonsense, he just informed them of their legal situation and to preserve all of their communications, phones etc in case they impeach him and are subpoenaed.
Yes, more information will come out, I'm not able to produce that information but I know it'll come out because there is too much on the line for it not to.Quote:

The documents you're mentioning in that new link are about aomething else entirely, an attempt by Nunes to get hold of documents that are part of an ongoing investigation. When asked to provide facts and evidence you're just posting random unrelated stuff. So far zero evidence of any of these crazy claims and we both know why.
Here's an actual link to what I said previously:
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's ongoing battle with House Republicans reached new heights Tuesday, as the No. 2 senior leader of the Justice Department plans to call on the House to investigate its own committee staff.Rosenstein has butted heads with House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes for months over a subpoena for documents related to the Russia investigation, but the battle spilled out into public view Tuesday after Fox News reported staff on the committee felt "personally attacked" at a meeting with Rosenstein in January.
Justice Department officials dispute the recounting of the closed-door meeting detailed in the story, and Rosenstein now plans to "request that the House general counsel conduct an internal investigation of these Congressional staffers' conduct" when he returns from a foreign trip this week, a Justice Department official said.
"The Deputy Attorney General never threatened anyone in the room with a criminal investigation," the official said. "The FBI Director, the senior career ethics adviser for the Department, and the Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs who were all present at this meeting are all quite clear that the characterization of events laid out here is false.
"The Deputy Attorney General was making the point -- after being threatened with contempt -- that as an American citizen charged with the offense of contempt of Congress, he would have the right to defend himself, including requesting production of relevant emails and text messages and calling them as witnesses to demonstrate that their allegations are false," the official added. "That is why he put them on notice to retain relevant emails and text messages, and he hopes they did so."
Another former US official, also present at the meeting, agreed that at no time did Rosenstein threaten any House staff with a criminal investigation.
Later Tuesday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions came to Rosenstein's defense during an interview with Fox News, saying he was "confident that Deputy Rosenstein, after 28 years in the Department of Justice, did not improperly threaten anyone on that occasion."

Come on Lyle. Facts. Evidence. This is some crazy internet conspiracy theory you're parroting, isn't it? If you're not going to provide anything backing all this up, and you're not, let's bet $1000. One of us is going to be broadly right here. Either the evidence is going to show the criminality on the Trump side or Obama, Hillary, Bill, Comey and the rest of the deep state are going to be facing charges relating to conspiring against Trump. Take the bet. The loser has to post a verifiable receipt for $1000 to the charity of the other's choice.
OK then....I guess we'll just see what happens to Rod Rosenstein won't we?Quote:

And we'll see if any evidence emerges that Rosenstein signed applications for FISA warrants which were used to spy on Trump and people around him. I'm betting that is not the case. How about $100?

In other news the tax cut isn't doing what it's supposed to do. Business investment is completely flat in the last quarter. Look what happened to wages:

But it wasn't an entire disaster. Look what happened to corporate tax receipts:
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/fredgraph.png?g=kaQb
There will be an economic boost from the tax cuts as what little went to wage earners ends up being spent. I would guess the US economy will crack 3% growth this year. But then the cut is baked into the numbers and we'll be relying on the investment the cuts are meant to spur. The Fed predicts something like this:
Fed median projections: —2.8% in 2018 —2.4% in 2019 —2.0% in 2020 —1.8% longer-term
There's a good chance Trump is lucky. The stage of the business cycle we're at means companies have the choice between paying wage increases or paying for new technology/machinery which will boost productivity, something the economy greatly needs. If we get an investment/productivity boost Trump can claim the tax cuts were responsible and it'll pave the way for another one.
So wrong in so many ways I can’t even start to correct ur muck. I do wish trump would block more of these telecom and media merges. These media mergers are gonna fuck up the 100 percent a year profit I’ve been getting on Netflix stock. I hate Netflix but I love the stock.

Perhaps. His fondness for 'strongmen' who rule via the iron fist is clear and I do not believe he has much appreciation or want for a long game. Speak for us, not just your ego. I don't buy the Jedi mind tricks or 4th dimensional checkers BS either. Personally his unrestraint in stroking Kim, throw Putin in there also, and treating him like an adopted lost puppy rather than a despot who is perfectly capable of murdering and imprisoning his population is intolerable. You cannot get anymore 'loose' and agreeable than he has on the first couple of days as this process and negotiations that are sure to become more difficult go forward.Quote:

Gandalf not sure what you're on about it seems like you got spooked about something or you're bending over backwards to be disingenuously modest and apologetic or something. Cut it out man. Get back in here and start posting any kind of bizarre stuff. The world needs bizarre stuff right now not this watered-down cowardly fearful politically correct atmosphere we have thanks to beans
Nah, nothing spooks me. I am as mad and brave as a cat with a crocodile. I woke up at 3am last night so I am exhausted and that's about it really. I need to take a rest.
That has happened to me on occasion over the past 6 months where you wake up at 3 a.m. and for some reason you've gotten maybe exactly two cycles of sleep at 90 minutes each and then suddenly you cannot go back to sleep for a few hours if at all. Now if it's because of those Christian neighbors you have or I should say so cold Christian otherwise this will turn into another one of those threads ;-) if it's because of the so-called Christian neighbors the whole dilemma has not been straightened out sufficiently. We do not want you going over with an axe or a tire iron and crunching in their door. Plus your wife will stop talking to you for a long time after that
Better to stroke Kim than give North Korea OUR taxpayer money which they used to build the nukes and buy the rockets to begin with like Clinton did.Quote:

If you can get a dictator to loosen the grip on his people just a smidge, then you give the people a chance to have better lives and I think we'll all have better lives when there's not a petulant manchild running a rogue state with nuclear weapons at his disposal.......maybe that's just me though :dontknow:
Trump's forecast of 4% GDP growth close to coming true as Americans spend tax-bill proceeds
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/14/trum...-proceeds.html
Armed with new-found proceeds from the tax bill, American consumers went shopping in May, driving retail sales — and economic growth — sharply higher.
The economy in the second quarter is tracking close to 4 percent growth — a level President Donald Trump raved about last December, just before the tax bill was approved. At the same time, he had also told reporters he was holding out for a doubling of growth to 6 percent.
For now, his 4 percent forecast is close to coming true on a quarterly basis, after strong retail sales data pushed up tracking GDP growth for the second quarter to about double the first quarter's level.
Nice....nice
I actually bothered to Google where you're getting this stuff from. The only thing on the Internet mentioning a redacted report is, wait for it Lyle, wait for it, that crazy q anon/the storm conspiracy theory.Quote:

You believed the pizzagate stuff and that's tied into this latest lunacy if I remember correctly.
Jesus Christ Lyle, what happened to you? You used to be a normal person.
Name a single bullshit economic prediction I made. I know nothing about stocks,its not what I do. Like I've told people for years, put your money in a nice low fee index fund. If you try and invest yourself you won't do as well as the fund. Warren Buffet bet the entire hedge fund industry a million dollars that his million in an index fund would outperform any hedge fund stock expert. Out of the thousands of hedge fund guys only one took him up on the bet. Google what happened. If you're investing your own mkney yourself you're a fucking idiot. I mean you've already proved you know nothing on here, you shouldn't be playing with meaningful sums you can't afford to lose.Quote:

There's still going to be one petulant man child with nuclear weapons out there.Quote:

And if there's more to the IG report? If Rod Rosenstein is/was delaying/obfuscating/hiding other details from Congress and the public. I mean the Stzrok to Page text message saying "We'll stop him (Trump)" from being President wasn't just redacted in previous reports it was never even placed in the texts to begin with and for what reason it's not a fucking state secret it does nothing to harm the safety of the US or anyone in the US military or any operations we have going on, it shows a CLEAR bias and it was scrubbed from even appearing....do you NOT ask questions at all about the shit government hands you? I mean you either have to be not curious AT ALL or just naive as hell.Quote:

Also DOJ official Kadzik briefed Yates and Lynch on the Clinton email case in 2015.....oh and he was also seeking employment for his son in 2015 on Hillary Clinton's campaign.
Pizzagate/Pedogate yeah, it's "fake" child trafficking and sex cults aren't a thing at all.....NXIVM sex cult leader Keith Ranniere is charged with WHAT? And his side bitch Allison Mack is charged with what?

Oooh and what's all this then?
Operation Broken Heart: 2,300 suspected child sex offenders arrested
https://www.wral.com/operation-broke...sted/17623721/
....oh and Hollywood's elite would NEVER endanger children....never ever ever....they wouldn't dare sexually exploit little children.....Roman Polanski, Woody Allen, 'An Open Secret' documentary
And then there's the Catholic Church: Cardinal George Pell, the Chilean Cardinals, 'Spotlight', I mean that seat of power seemingly NEVER fails to disappoint.
But yeah...there's no "elite group of child traffickers" :rolleyes: just like there's no Mafia and MS-13 are all precious little baby immigrants looking for success in America.
