Looks like something has come up that takes the politicians minds off Brexit, even if just for a short time.

Yep, rusted and nonfunctional... Quote:

If Assange/WL have any more on Clinton, et al, that could serve as a potential 'bargaining chip' with the Trump DOJ, however that could be blunted by the fact such a 'collaboration (I'm avoiding the word 'collusion' ) would also probably be a bit obvious and, once public, would put Chump in a bigger hole than the Mueller report could dig for him... ...and I don't need tinfoil, although, if you need some, u crank, I have a couple of rolls gathering dust in the cupboard I could send you... Quote:
A nice bit of analysis if you're laying an insanity or diminished capacity defense and have a gullible jury, but past history shows that Trump is a longtime con man and 'convenient amnesia' is a tool of the trade for con artists; the mantra has always been, when caught, "Deny!, Deny!, Deny!". If caught and you can't deny, then either split or try to make a deal to get out of the situation; Trump has relied on this for decades and, in the private sector, where his dishonesty was little-noted and where he could throw around his putative wealth, position and the 'powers' therein 'entitled' to bully down his adversaries, he was, if not successful in actual endeavors, a 'success' in keeping up his appearances. But, now, his fallbacks are failing him and he is well out of his depth against the media and public attention. He is also finding his usual regimen of blustering, bullying, and demanding bending to his will won't work in the face of Federal law and governance. I do think Trump is mentally unstable; I just don't think his lying is an uncontrollable by-product of that instability... As far as coherence goes, I also recall how, in the past, Trump would talk in circles when he was challenged on matter on which he expounded, particularly when he was defending his wealth; I sometimes wonder if that is why he has such a soft spot for Kellyanne Conway; they both talk the same babbling language. Part of Trump's current incoherence may be attributable to Trump, as he speaks, realizing he might be called out on what he has just said and wheeling around to cut off a possible challenge... Quote:
...as far as you being crazy, well... <O>

I beleive that is what Robert Mueller would call 'cooperating' to avoid jail time.

Actually, those who cooperated with Mueller did. in fact, get jail time; I don't recall anyone actually avoiding jail time completely; the analogy doesn't fit... <O>

Neither you nor I know what Mueller offered or what people asked for in regards to avoiding jail time. And we probably never will.

According to the embassy he hacked their computers and did a dirty protest.

You are right, we don't know; however, we do know anyone who was indicted in the Mueller probes did actually get at least some prison time, some thing to consider when "Individual One" has to answer for his part in the matters investigated... ...and, remember, once someone is convicted and sentenced in the Federal courts, they cannot 'bargain' for reduced prison time... <O>

Hmm...I don't think ADX Florence is full. Assange, Snowden, and Manning should all be in there forever.

I might be left of center, but I'm not a traitor.

The man in the government that acts against its own laws and citizens is the traitor. Why not call him out and hang him.
This has nothing to do with left or right.
