Cable Forum - President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation

There's a long-running investigation into possible collusion so that's a reason for a long-running thread.
And some politicians are more attractive for debate than others, Trump being one of them. That's a fact of life which those supporting Farage, Blair and Trump have all got their heads around.

I see the Crooked Democrats are trying their 11th hour attempt to block the nomination of Kavanaugh, for Supreme Court Justices, with a sudden sexual allegation from his High School years, only the allegation is from a anonymous person, who wants to remain anonymous.

Democrat Senator Feinstein forwarded the allegations to the FBI, who have declined to investigate the matter and have instead passed the information to the White House. Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley says the “allegations” will not stop the nomination session planned for next Thursday.

Trumps tweets have got worse. People that are painting him as a daft child who doesn't have a clue are seemingly not wrong.

A strange couple of tweets yesterday, claiming that 3000 people did NOT die in or as a result of the hurricanes in Puerto Rico last year and that the figure was made up by democrats to 'make him look bad'

Also the hurricane is big and wet! haha.

Manafort has pled guilty to some counts and will give up five bank accounts and two of his properties ahead of his second trial. ABC reporting that he is cooperating with prosecutors.

Paul Manafort, the onetime campaign chairman for President Donald Trump, has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors as part of a formal deal to plead guilty to two counts of conspiracy in a federal courthouse on Friday and will forfeit a number of his bank accounts and properties.

In court Friday morning, prosecutors revealed that Manafort had completed a successful meeting with investigators in which he offered them information they considered valuable. They did not specify what information he shared or if it was relevant to their investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign.

Donald Trump simply can't abide criticism of his performance as president. How else to explain his decision, as a hurricane looms off the US coast, to call adjusted Puerto Rican death-toll figures from Hurricane Maria a Democratic-inspired plot against him?

I guess I should feel sorry for someone so sensitive to criticism. Instead, I feel sorry for those who actually believe him.

Odds are that, like Michael Cohen before him, Manafort will toss a tiny cookie to the prosecution and head off to do his greatly reduced sentence.

It might get interesting, however, if Manafort implicates Tony Podesta in any of his shenanigans.

BREAKING: New York Times says U.S Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein suggested in May 2017, to disgraced and fired, former Deputy FBI Director, Andy McCabe to wiretap President Trump to invoke 25th Amendment. Rod Rosenstein has since vehemently denied this NYT hit piece insisting there is nothing to hit the President with using the 25th Amendment.

The other possibility is something I just read in the Mail which postulates that Andrew McCabe was the source of this information and released it as an act of spite against Rosenstein.

Either way, it won't do much to dispel "deep state" theories which, frankly, are looking less and less like theories as time goes by.
