From Russia With Love

More interesting and relevant is his possible knowledge of crimes committed by members of the t family and staff, about which knowledge he would now be legally bound to testify.
You mean "possible knowledge" that can be corroborated by other evidence.....

Yes at this point everyone in the Trumps circle who they wanted to flip... has flipped.
I believe Muller said he'll hand his report to Congress before November. It will I'd imagine be quite interesting reading.

"Interesting, but irrelevant."
The crimes he is guilty of were committed before or during his involvement in the campaign?
Interesting and relevant.
Your ignorance of both legal statutory and court precedence, along with common sense is, to say, with deepest sympathy, staggering.

My opinion was in response to an NPR article that one of the usual gang of idiots chose to repost via copy and paste, whose point was to demonstrate that a liberal leaning news agency has published an opinion piece about the Manafort allocution admitting guilt as to ten of the Eastern District of Virginia “hung” indictments, and all (or nearly all) of the DC District Court charges then still pending) were within the pleas of guilty Manafort knowingly, competently, and following receipt of competent legal advice conveyed to the court in DC, orally and in the record.

That guilty plea followed a lengthy summary by the federal prosecutors of the felonious conduct Manafort then pleaded guilty to committing.

In the DC case, this involved conspiratorial conduct with Russian and pro-Russian oligarchs well connected to Putin.

Here’s the factual “rub”, that makes the NBR opinion piece INTERESTING BUT IRRELEVANT.

The court transcript gives no conditional agreement on the subjects of criminality he is restricted from cooperating with the Federal government departments and divisions. “Broad Cooperation” means exactly what is appears to any sane, rational, and reasonable person, irrespective of personal political persuasion. He is obligated to cooperate via meeting with any prosecutorial authority to fully cooperate orally and through authentication of documents, toward any government authority. NPR’s opinion article, suggesting Mansfort has only ‘conditionally limited’ his cooperation does not comport with the facts spelled out in the official certified USDC transcript, for the District of Columbia, as officially released to the American people.

Thus, interesting “BUT” irrelevant retains the essence of my opinion post, here in an obscure, yet feisty minion of opinionated and anonymous free thinkers, free from real world repercussions for each of our array of differing opinions.
 
I love transparency.
Gubment hates it.
Anyone who has created and employed the use of an anonymous internet forum false identity is not performing in a transparent capacity.

If your actual life involves transparency, I’m sure you have a group of fellow travelers who think as you do. But your anonymity here is the very definition of non-transparency.

The “loyal” Trump federal government unlikely “hates” your so-called “transparency”. And I doubt the California justice and tax enforcement departments has you or your business within its investigative divisions.

Everyone knows who I am.
Sorry.
My name is well known as is Lion's and spola's.

I generally don’t read the substance of many posts. They are abnormally filled with unreliable sourced “so-called” news sources of dubious bias and opinions based on false interpretations of events of news worthy reporting.

Thus, the only squabble that I recall where one poster I believe named “Dave” from Ventura, physically threatened someone, thus violating the TOS of the website, but no action was taken to address this violation of the TOS, nor any apparent referral to law enforcement.

And recently Espola posted a family heritage newspaper article, which any wannabe Inspector Clouseau could derive his surname, which is of no interest to me.

Ok, spola.
 
Shouldn't this be one sentence?
What does it mean?
My literary style in this forum is to forgo the standard rules of English composition, by applying an informal use of a more conversational style, when I’m not in character. So I will often start a sentence with “And” in line with the auto-punctuation that will detect what it is programmed to believe is a completed sentence by adding a period. The period that appears after the word period in the last sentence is an example of this dare I say, progressive and forward direction in the progress (there I go again) of mankind.

As opposed to some in the country that would like to reverse course, proceed along a reactionary and conservative direction toward returning America again to some undefined era of “great”ness, by ignoring “whenever America was great” before. So many unjust laws, so many atrocities toward fellow people and that went unreported or ignored. Not so great, frankly.

America is Great NOW. And has been Great for decades if not centuries. It continues despite the many injustices committed and condoned within its borders and unfortunately at times outside our borders in places of world conflict by a tiny percentage of its military and other external agencies that break from both the rule of law and common decency and conpasssion.

Most Americans agree that progress is a good thing, in so many disciplines and endeavors. Be it medicine, mathematics, infrastructure, agriculture, civil rights, the environment, justice, equality, acceptance of others, no matter their origins, cultures, religions, or beliefs, just a starting point of issues that come to mind.

E's name and email are proudly posted on his profile. Give him credit for that. Not sure if it's smart, but credit anyway.

Thank God. I was begining to think that California was like Russia.. where according to Espola they spy on every foreigner. Just ask him. He met someone who told him so.

I’d have to give a hoot to spend even a moment’s time to look up Espola or anyone else’s profile information wherever that may be in the forum network. That would be akin to opening someone’s medicine cabinet at a dinner party. So should his name and contact info says he’s “Palmer Witherspoon” acclaimed German pole vaulter from the 1936 Olympics, it would have no impact on my internet conversations and asides with him.

Did he win any medals for Germany? I think Germany won the most medals that year.
 
Nothing really. Just see that all five of my threads have a momentary chance to be at the top of the off topic forum.

To be fair, Manafort has plenty to share with the Mueller team, at the very least, to have been willing to concede to nearly all felonies charged against him in both Virginia and DC.

He never vaulted for Germany, but I suspect he always dreamed of playing pocket pool for the USSR.
