Mueller Now Investigating Democratic Lobbyist Tony Podesta For Ties to Russia - Polidicks

[quote] WASHINGTON — Tony Podesta and the Podesta Group are now the subjects of a federal investigation being led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, three sources with knowledge of the matter told NBC News. The probe of Podesta and his Democratic-leaning lobbying firm grew out of Mueller's inquiry into the finances of [URL="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/flynn-manafort-are-key-figures-russia-probe-mueller-will-lead-n761256"]former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort[/URL], according to the sources. As special counsel, Mueller has been tasked with investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

How deep does this rabbit hole go?

Purge Capitol Hill, please.

So is Mueller now a hero to Trump Supporters? I mean, it often takes very little for them to flip.

Now both sides are in the ouroboros. Will we see even more bipartisan efforts to reform our election systems and provide more education to understand misinformation campaigns? Will we see partisan efforts to blame either side in attempts to further a case for the other half to be voted out of their position? Will we see bipartisan efforts to put this and stuff similar under the rug, or will partisan efforts take these pasts and presents into the public eye? I bet on both being generally partisan, but I'm putting most of my chips on the republicans having the most grim and juicy stories to tell.

[QUOTE=LTJGPliskin;52812322]Purge Capitol Hill, please.[/QUOTE] you mean drain the swamp?

[QUOTE=karimatrix;52812452]Or both parties will decide to bury whole threating investigation together, wich is what will happen.[/QUOTE] The Democratic party has absolutely no ties to Podesta that are worth burying this shit over. He'll be thrown under the bus in the blink of an eye.

[QUOTE=karimatrix;52812452]Or both parties will decide to bury whole threating investigation together, wich is what will happen.[/QUOTE] so Democrats can remove possibly the entire Republican administration, or at least massively fuck up its approval while boosting their own and gaining a gigantic campaign point for 2020 OR just not do that

Follow the leads wherever they go. Anybody found to be deliberately working in collusion with the hostile Russian government to undermine our sovereignty in exchange for personal gain deserves to face life in prison.

[QUOTE=karimatrix;52812822]I'd rather be ignorant about political system i understand soo little than go paranoid after every newsflash.[/QUOTE] Anybody not concerned by the increasingly disturbing revelations of this investigation simply aren't paying attention.

[QUOTE=karimatrix;52812822]I'd rather be ignorant about political system i understand soo little than go paranoid after every newsflash.[/QUOTE] You don't really seem to care that this is serious. That's fine. You don't have to. But your not acknowledging that doesn't change the reality this is serious

[QUOTE=karimatrix;52812822]I'd rather be ignorant about political system i understand soo little than go paranoid after every newsflash.[/QUOTE] or you could choose option c and not comment about things you "understand soo little" about?

[QUOTE=karimatrix;52812822]I'd rather be ignorant about political system i understand soo little than go paranoid after every newsflash.[/QUOTE] That's a frankly stupid viewpoint to take. [editline]23rd October 2017[/editline] [img]https://facepunch.com/fp/flags/ru.png[/img] Oh, my apologies.

I would honestly be more shocked if it was found that nobody in the Democrats had ties to Russia in some form. The International political hellscape that is today means every party will have someone talking with outsiders. The real question is how severe are the ties and what was the purpose of the communications if any.

Why is it any worse when it's foreign interests controlling our politicians with money and corrupt deals than it is with domestic interests controlling our politicians with money and corrupt deals?

However, domestic influences are much more likely to have some interest in protecting other domestic interests and a generally stable life. Suffice to say a corporation would prefer the country be stable and functional because that offers short term and long term benefits. Hostile foreign interests are far less inclined to care and in fact it works better in their favor to actively undermine every aspect of domestic life they can because that creates a weaker enemy. This makes achieving their own goals easier.
