The massive Majority of people don't know what patreon even is, and the majority of people who do? They don't have actual standards and principles.

Hey @Timcast can you look at this story . The Immigration Reform Law Institute said that Obama administration broke Immigration and Nationality Act, Section 292 by giving $310 million for legal advice for illegal immigrants.
If accurate it could make a good video.

@grant That would be here. They're now openly stating Patreon's reasoning for the purge--open politics.

That's very newsworthy.

A reminder in light of current events

“ Those payments to women were unseemly. That doesn’t mean they were illegal” by Bradly Smith on The Washington Post

This former Chairman of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) points out that Cohens, facing life in prison, saved himself with that guilty plea after becoming the target of prosecutors with political motives. His plea doesn’t in of itself prove anything. He goes on to explain that even if you were to stretch and contort this law out of its normal bounds, it would likely result in only a fine, and could have unintended consequences.

@Exiled Sentinel From my gatherings, the payments to the mistresses had been made by parent company of National Enquirer for one, and by Michael Cohen himself for the other.

This is what also needs to be kept in view:

https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-michael-cohen-plea-deal-fraud-case-20180821-story.html

Deputy U.S. Attorney Robert Khuzami said that in addition to the campaign finance violations, Cohen failed to report more than $4 million in income between 2012 and 2016, including $1.3 million from his taxi medallion holdings.

Cohen also lied to a financial institution by failing to disclose more than $14 million in debt and obtaining a $500,000 home equity line of credit he wasn't entitled to, Khuzami said. Cohen used that credit line to fund the Daniels payment, prosecutors said.

After making the hush money payments, Cohen submitted phony invoices to Trump's company, ostensibly for services rendered in 2017, the prosecutor said.

"Those involves were a sham," Khuzami said. "He provided no legal services for the year 2017. It was simply a means to obtain reimbursement for the unlawful contributions."

That, is sketcy, shady swampy DC shit, right there

Cohen was definitely caught doing illegal things. Just not Trump Russia campaign things. You know, what the investigation is actually about.

"Yellow Vests, Do not let go of anything. Many Militaries are against this government and are not fooled by what happens in this moment." @mer.at Loose translation from Google.

Correction "Militaries" should say "soldiers

so it should say "Yellow Vests, Do not let go of anything. Many Soldiers are against this government and are not fooled by what happens in this moment."

In addition to a parallel obstruction investigation. With today, I just cant ignore some advances that keep being revealed ... per the memo ...

"Second, Cohen provided the SCO with useful information concerning certain discrete Russia-related matters core to its investigation that he obtained by virtue of his regular contact with Company executives during the campaign. "

I have no problem with people like Cohen going to jail for breaking the law I just don't understand why Muller is investigating this and not the collision hes was charged too? The verdict is going to be guilty but its not going to haver anything to do with collusion.

It would be a nice surprise if Muller is cleaning house on both sides of the aisle but I doubt it.

Bro, if my memory is not mistaken, after Trump requested James Comey to not investigate Michael Flynn, and asked for his personal loyalty pledge, he dismissed him from his job shortly afterwards.

Jan. 27: Trump invited Comey to a dinner at the White House and told him "I need loyalty, I expect loyalty," according to Comey's prepared statement for the Senate.

Feb. 14: The day after Flynn resigned as Trump's National Security Advisor after misleading Mike Pence about his contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak, Trump asked Comey to drop the investigation into Flynn, per his statement: "I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go."

Feb. 15: The next day, Comey told Attorney General Jeff Sessions that Trump should stay out of the FBI probe, per Comey.

Sometime after March 20: Trump reportedly asked Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and NSA Director Michael Rogers to publicly push back on FBI probe, per the Washington Post. Sometime before March 22, Trump asked Coats if he could pressure Comey to stop investigating Flynn, per the Post.

May 10: Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office that firing "nut job" Comey eased pressure on him, per the NYT.

Days after Comey was fired the FBI began to personally investigate Trump.

June 13: Sessions confirmed while testifying under oath he left Comey and Trump alone Feb. 14, but contradicted what Comey said about their conversation after the meeting — Sessions testified he had said he would tell the White House to follow protocol, Comey said Sessions did not reply.

June 14: The Post reported Mueller is investigating Trump for possible obstruction of justice.

It hella looks like activity of a public official atleast interested in interference, which isn't legal, and if there is any doubt, somone should investigate it, if not to find guilt, then to clear the accusations.

All I am saying is Mueller is investigating Trump for possible obstruction of justice, witch is not Mueller is investigating Trump for possible colluding with Russia.

The unraveling is happening

@woodchuck00 Again...

... per the memo ...

"Second, Cohen provided the SCO with useful information concerning certain discrete Russia-related matters core to its investigation that he obtained by virtue of his regular contact with Company executives during the campaign. "

He most definitly is.

"discrete Russia-related matters core to its investigation" that seems like a weird way of saying Russian collusion, is it not possible that they are using cryptic sentences to prepare you for disappointment?

People still think Trump Russia collusion happened?

I thought that was just a 2017 trend

Many people do yes

Interesting

Well they would be making an assumption that such conclusion would be disappointing to me, and I dont think they know I exist...lol. I'm kidding about that, kind of.

It's a safe educated guess to say that they're choice of words is certain to be referring to investigation of either the government of Russia making efforts to disrupt our processes, atleast electoral ones, and/or the campaign of Donald Trump having participated in a conspiracy in respect to such efforts

I suspect the people at the top of the intelligence community know that russia's game was never to steal/blackmail the president, only to raise questions about their ability to do so

Their campaign was effectively orchestrated and russia acomplished what they set out to do.

It simply comes off as a huge distraction to me that makes me wonder, why the need to make it a focus?

Because this is something which cannot be ignored

People need to have faith in their democracy or it will not function.

"It" being the uk investigation ?

Minus the uk

That w as a typo

The muller investigation yes

Yes

It was given the widest scope possible because they didnt want any doubt to remain in people's minds

Have you ever heard Mueller speak?

So what happens when it concludes with no collusion between trump and Russia?

They hardly saying shit dude
