All the Kings Horses and all the kings men couldn't put Trumpy Dummy back together again. Just to RECAP, so far the following men from Trump's team have ALL plead guilty to charges related to the Russian (Kremlin-gate) investigation. First George Papadopoulos plead Guilty for lying to the FBI related to the Russian Investigation, then Michael Flynn plead Guilty for lying to the FBI about his conversations with the Russian Ambassador, then Paul Manafort's right-hand man Rick Gates plead guilty to federal conspiracy charges, Michael Cohen's guilty plead is coming soon, and then very, very soon ...

  • A federal judge in Washington DC is proceeding with the criminal case brought forward by special counsel Robert Mueller, regarding Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman.
  • US district judge Amy Jackson declined to throw out the case against Manafort, who faces two indictments from the special counsel.

  • "Given the combination of his prominence within the campaign and his ties to Ukrainian officials supported by and operating out of Russia, as well as to Russian oligarchs, Manafort was an obvious person of interest," the ruling said.

A federal judge in Washington DC is proceeding with the criminal case brought forward by special counsel Robert Mueller, regarding Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman.

US district judge Amy Jackson declined to throw out the case against Manafort, who faces two indictments from the special counsel. Manafort is charged in Virginia and Washington with tax and bank fraud connected to his lobbying work for the Ukrainian government and pro-Russia interests in Ukraine.

The judge deemed that the indictment "falls squarely within that portion of the authority granted to the Special Counsel."
"Given the combination of his prominence within the campaign and his ties to Ukrainian officials supported by and operating out of Russia, as well as to Russian oligarchs, Manafort was an obvious person of interest," the ruling reads.


Judge Jackson previously dismissed a civil case Manafort filed against Mueller, in which Manafort's attorneys argued that the scope of Mueller's investigation was too broad.

Manafort's lawyers' previous push for dismissal hinged on the argument that because the crimes in question do not directly relate to Mueller's core mandate — investigating whether members of Trump's campaign colluded with Moscow — he was not authorized to charge Manafort with them.
Judge Jackson added that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein followed the appropriate rules and possessed the judicial authority when he appointed Mueller to investigate the Russian government's efforts to influence the 2016 US presidential election.


In appointing Mueller in May 2017, Rosenstein gave him broad authority not only to investigate "any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated" with the Trump campaign, but also to examine "any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation."

Earlier this year, it surfaced that Rosenstein also sent a memo to Mueller in August outlining the full scope of his mandate and specific threads he was allowed to investigate.

Per the memo, Mueller is authorized to investigate two threads related to Manafort:
  • Whether Manafort colluded with Russian government officials as Russia was trying to meddle in the 2016 US election.
  • Whether he committed any crimes "arising out of payments he received from the Ukrainian government before and during the tenure of President Viktor Yanukovych."
Manafort pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.

Once the domino of Manafort drops with a Guilty plea, Trump better look out because he is next in the line of fire for an indictment.
The specific charges Manafort is currently facing are:
  • 5 counts in Washington, DC: One count each of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to launder money, acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign principal, making false and misleading Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) statements, and a false statements charge in connection with FARA.
  • 18 counts in Virginia: 5 counts of filing false income tax returns, 4 counts of failing to report foreign bank and financial accounts, and 9 counts of bank fraud or bank conspiracy

And Now - a crime that Trump has 100% committed with-out any doubt as flagged and reported by the Government Office of Ethics to the DEPT of Justice to further investigate:

The 2nd post with another asinine comment by ol' Rudy just makes me laugh.

  • President Donald Trump listed a reimbursement to his lawyer Michael Cohen on his 2018 financial disclosure form.

  • Cohen had paid $130,000 in October 2016 to Stormy Daniels, the adult-film star who says she had an affair with Trump in 2006.

  • Experts say the disclosure introduces new headaches for Trump.

  • The Office of Government Ethics sent a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein regarding the report.

In his 2018 financial disclosure report, President Donald Trump revealed that he reimbursed his longtime lawyer Michael Cohen for the $130,000 hush-money payment to the adult-film actress Stormy Daniels that Cohen had facilitated just before the 2016 presidential election.
Daniels says she had an affair with Trump in 2006, and Cohen made the payment to keep her from discussing that in the press. She is now suing Cohen.


The 92-page financial disclosure form, released Wednesday, says the payment was "not required to be disclosed as 'reportable liabilities,'" though it said Trump disclosed it "in the interest of transparency."

"In 2016 expenses were incurred by one of Donald J. Trump's attorneys, Michael Cohen," the form says. "Mr. Cohen sought reimbursement of those expenses and Mr. Trump fully reimbursed Mr. Cohen in 2017. The category of value would be $100,001-$250,000 and the interest rate would be zero."

The Office of Government Ethics, which released the form, disagreed with the assessment, saying Trump should have disclosed the payment in last year's filing.

"OGE has concluded that the information related to the payment made by Mr. Cohen is required to be reported and that the information provided meets the disclosure requirement for a reportable liability," the agency wrote.

David Apol, the director of the OGE, sent a letter to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, saying he "may find the disclosure relevant to any inquiry you may be pursuing regarding the President's prior report that was signed on June 14, 2017."

"This is tantamount to a criminal referral," said Walter Shaub, the former director of the OGE under Trump who has since become one of his chief critics. "OGE has effectively reported the president to DOJ for potentially committing a crime."

Earlier this month, Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani said in media interviews that Trump had reimbursed Cohen for the payment via a retainer and that Trump did not know the purpose of the payment until recently.

Cohen initially said Trump did not reimburse him for the hush-money payment to Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford. Cohen and the White House have denied that any affair took place.

Shaub tweeted that the disclosure meant Trump was "sticking with the claim that he did not know about the debt last year, which is implausible." Shaub added that Trump is claiming there are no other debts and that Giuliani "may have lied" when he said Trump paid Cohen as much as $460,000 through the retainer.

"In turn, that means that Trump committed a crime if the omission was 'knowing and willful," Shaub wrote. "Trump may be wondering today whether the information DOJ seized from Cohen's office included any emails or other documents showing he knew of the debt when he filed last year's report."

Here's another 'Doh' moment. So much for that Nobel Peace Prize they wanted to hand out before any ink was dry on a done deal.
Screen Shot 2018-05-17 at 12.03.10 AM.png

  • North Korea appeared to flip on the US on Tuesday with a variety of complaints and statements that marked the first real backslide of a diplomatic push for peace in Korea, and it pinned its complaints on a dark, threatening statement from John Bolton.
  • Bolton, President Donald Trump's newly appointed national security adviser, suggested the US could follow a "Libya model" for denuclearizing North Korea.
  • Libya's former leader was violently killed after giving up his weapons of mass destruction.
  • It's unclear why Bolton chose to mention Libya in the context of North Korea, knowing the violent end Libya's leader met, but the comment looks to have soured peace talks for now.
North Korea appeared to flip on the US on Tuesday with a variety of complaints and statements that marked the first real backslide of a diplomatic push for peace in Korea — and much of it was pinned on a dark, threatening statement made by President Donald Trump's hawkish new national security adviser.

North Korean media specifically targeted Trump's new national security adviser, John Bolton. "We shed light on the quality of Bolton already in the past, and we do not hide our feeling of repugnance towards him," wrote Kim Kye Gwan, North Korea's vice-minister of foreign affairs.

Bolton, who has written extensively advocating that the US bomb North Korea, recently made a strange statement that appears to have provoked North Korea's anger.

"I think we're looking at the Libya model of 2003, 2004," to denuclearize North Korea, Bolton told CBS' "Face the Nation" in late April.
Shortly after the US invaded Iraq and deposed Saddam Hussein in 2003, Libya's Muammar Gaddafi agreed to have international inspectors visit his country to certify that his nuclear and chemical weapons programs had halted.


In 2011, a popular uprising in Libya got backing from the US and some NATO countries, and a salvo of cruise missile strikes pummeled the Libyan government.

Within months, Gaddafi was filmed being dragged out into the streets by rebels, who then violently killed him.
Gaddafi's violent end and the parallels between Libya and North Korea appear to have been noted in Pyongyang.


"World knows too well that our country is neither Libya nor Iraq which have met miserable fate," North Korea's vice minister wrote, responding to Bolton. "It is absolutely absurd to dare compare the DPRK, a nuclear weapon state, to Libya which had been at the initial stage of nuclear development," he continued, using North Korea's formal title.

What was Bolton thinking?

Bolton compared North Korea denuclearization to Libya, which killed its leader after he gave up their weapons of mass destruction. REUTERS/Jason Reed


To be clear, the US did not ******* Gaddafi; his own people did. Gaddafi enjoyed eight years of international prestige and acceptance before he met his violent end, but it's still a comparison Bolton could have easily steered clear of.
It's unclear why Bolton would want to compare North Korea to Libya, as the countries are very different and Libya carries unsavory associations.


Now, a much-awaited summit between Trump and Kim has taken a negative turn, with Pyongyang reconsidering its approach and the US likely considering appeasing Kim — and Bolton's Libya remark appears at the center of the setback.

All the Kings Horses and all the kings men couldn't put Trumpty Dummy back together again. Here's one more 'Doh' moment from the huge Chump news dump of stupid things his Admin has been up to. They can't get anything right domestically or Internationally.

Strange as it sounded, Donald Trump's reversal on punishing a Chinese telecommunications giant fits his pattern: Facing powerful adversaries, the tough-talking president usually shrinks from a fight.

Republicans and Democrats alike slammed Trump's sudden declaration that stiff U.S. sanctions for Shenzhen-based ZTE meant "too many jobs in China lost." Not only had ZTE defied strictures against commerce with Iran and North Korea, U.S. intelligence officials warned that its devices could be instruments of Chinese espionage.


President Trump reverses stance on ZTE 2:41 PM ET Mon, 14 May 2018 | 03:48

But the logic of Trump's action lay, at least in part, in the pushback he faced. The administration team he recently sent to Beijing to demand trade concessions from China came back empty. China, from which Trump simultaneously seeks help in nuclear negotiations with North Korea, demanded that he back off ZTE.
So Trump backed off – just as he did upon taking office with his stern promises to declare the world's second-largest economy a "currency manipulator."
Not just China
He has done the same in soft responses to Russia's assassination of journalists and dissidents. With the words, "You think our country's so innocent?" the president has even shrunk from claiming the moral high ground for America.

"For all his bluster, one of the surprising takeaways from Trump's 16 months as president is how cowed he often is by the strong men of international politics," said Nicholas Burns, a U.S. diplomat under presidents of both parties and now a professor at Harvard's Kennedy School.

Trump has followed a similar pattern on domestic issues.

During the 2016 campaign, he vowed to working-class supporters he would cut prescription ******* prices by making pharmaceutical firms negotiate with Medicare. The powerful ******* industry loathes the idea.

When he unveiled his plan for cutting ******* prices last week, Trump had dropped it.

Candidate Trump promised to confront Wall Street in his tax plan by eliminating a big loophole for hedge fund managers. His aides promised wealthy Americans would get no tax cut at all.

The "carried interest" loophole was preserved. The wealthy got the biggest tax cuts of all.

As president, following the Parkland school massacre, Trump mocked Congress as too scared of the National Rifle Association to enact new gun restrictions. He cast himself as tougher.

After the NRA resisted, Trump backed off

Johannes Eisele | AFP | Getty Images | The ZTE logo is seen on an office building in Shanghai on May 3, 2018.
The president has followed through on tough rhetoric with less-powerful constituencies. Most conspicuously, his administration has adopted a more aggressive approach to border enforcement and deportation of illegal immigrants.

Trump announced the end of President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. After insisting he would protect current "Dreamers," the president dropped the effort in the face of opposition from GOP congressional leaders.

This pattern does not mean the administration's initial approach to ZTE was right, or that Trump's new one is wrong. Some diplomats and trade specialists believe ZTE, and thus American firms such as Qualcomm in its supply chain, were punished too severely.

"President Trump in my view was correct to revisit the decision," said Carla Hills, a former U.S. trade representative. "ZTE should, and likely will face record penalties. But hopefully those penalties will not have a devastating impact on innocent parties — namely U.S. companies and U.S. workers."
Possible motives that hit close to home
On China and Russia, Trump may also have motives closer to home.

Special counsel Robert Mueller is probing whether financial and political ties by Trump and his campaign played a role in Moscow's 2016 interference on his behalf. Among other leads, investigators are examining whether influential Russians used the NRA as a conduit for assisting Trump.

The Trump organization is now part of an Indonesian development project benefiting from $500 million in Chinese government financing. A White House spokesman on Monday declined to comment on the project on grounds that the president's family business is "a private organization."

"Why," Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon asked on Twitter, is Trump "personally protecting a Chinese tech company guilty of evading U.S. sanctions on Iran? Maybe this."

Correction: An earlier version misstated Nicholas Burns' position at the Kennedy School. He is a professor.

The former *******-in-law of Paul Manafort, the one-time chairman of President Donald Trump's campaign, has cut a plea deal with the Justice Department that requires him to cooperate with other criminal probes, two people with knowledge of the matter said.

The guilty plea agreement, which is under seal and has not been previously reported, could add to the legal pressure on Manafort, who is facing two indictments brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in his probe of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

Manafort has been indicted in federal courts in Washington and Virginia with charges ranging from tax evasion to bank fraud and has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Jeffrey Yohai, a former business partner of Manafort, was divorced from Manafort's ******* last August.

Yohai has not been specifically told how he will be called on to cooperate as part of his plea agreement, but the two people familiar with the matter say they consider it a possibility that he will be asked to assist with Mueller's prosecution of Manafort.

Legal experts have said that Mueller wants to keep applying pressure on Manafort to plead guilty and assist prosecutors with their probe. Manafort chaired the Trump campaign for three months before resigning in August 2016.

Both Trump and Russia have denied allegations they colluded to help Republican Trump win the election

Hilary Potashner, a public defender who is representing Yohai, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Manafort's spokesman, Jason Maloni, declined to comment.

Andrew Brown, a federal prosecutor in Los Angeles, had been overseeing an investigation into Yohai's real estate and bank dealings in California and New York several months before Mueller was appointed to his post in May 2017.



Yohai's agreement, which was concluded early this year, included him pleading guilty to misusing construction loan funds and to a count related to a bank account overdraft.
While the deal was cut with Brown's office, the federal government can ask for help at any time, said one of the people familiar with the matter.

A spokesman for Brown did not respond to a request for comment and a spokesman for Mueller declined to comment.


Manafort trial pending

Manafort is to go on trial later this year to fight the two indictments. The charges against him range from failing to disclose lobbying work for a pro-Russian Ukrainian political party to bank fraud.

As a close business partner, Yohai was privy to many of Manafort's financial dealings, according to the two people familiar with the matter and court filings in the bankruptcies of four Los Angeles properties in 2016. In addition to co-investing in California real estate, the two cooperated in getting loans for property deals in New York, Manaforts indictments show.

Mueller sent a team of prosecutors to interview Yohai last June, asking him about Manaforts relationship with Trump, his ties to Russian oligarchs, and his borrowing of tens of millions of dollars against properties in New York, Reuters reported in February, citing people with knowledge of the matter.

  • A Russian plane with ties to the Kremlin flew to the Seychelles before a secret 2017 meeting between a Trump associate and a Putin ally, according to a report.
  • The special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating a series of meetings in the Seychelles as part of the Trump-Russia probe.
  • The plane was reportedly owned by Russian billionaire Andrei Skoch, who now serves as a deputy in the Russian State Duma.
  • The new details have prompted speculation over whether the meeting was truly an impromptu encounter, as the Trump associate has claimed, or whether they were arranged deliberately to discuss US sanctions against Russia.
A plane owned by a now-sanctioned Russian billionaire who serves in the country's legislative body flew to the Seychelles the day before a secret 2017 meeting between an associate of President Donald Trump and a top Kremlin ally, NJ Advance Media reported on Thursday, citing airport flight data.

The meeting, along with several others in the Seychelles islands around the same time, has drawn scrutiny from the special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 US election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign.

Mueller was tipped off by a witness that the Seychelles meeting was arranged to establish a back-channel of communication between the US and Russia, The Washington Post reported in March.
The meeting in question was between Blackwater founder Erik Prince and Russian CEO Kirill Dmitriev, who manages a sanctioned investment fund. George Nader, a Middle East expert and adviser to the United Arab Emirates' Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, also attended as the crown prince's representative.

Prince characterized the Seychelles meeting to the House Intelligence Committee last year as an impromptu encounter that occurred as he pursued a business opportunity with "potential customers" from the UAE, who later suggested he meet with Dmitriev, "who was also in town."

Prince said the meeting lasted no longer than 30 minutes, and covered a broad range of topics, including Dmitriev's wish that Russia and the US could resume normal trade relations.

In his testimony, Prince denied he attended the meeting as an official representative of the incoming Trump administration and denied discussing US sanctions against Russia with Dmitriev.


But the flight data from the Seychelles Civil Aviation Authority shows that the Russian plane arrived in the Seychelles at 4:21 p.m. on January 10, 2017 — one day before Prince's arrival.

The plane is owned by Russian billionaire Andrei Skoch, who now serves in the Russian State Duma, NJ Advance Media reported, citing two people familiar with the plane's purchase history.

Skoch has also been sanctioned and placed on the US Treasury Department's Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list, which blocks their assets and bars Americans from doing business with them.

The six passengers on the plane also stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel during their visit — the same hotel where the meetings between Prince and Dmitriev occurred, according to Prince's House testimony.


The new details about the plane's ownership have prompted speculation about whether Skoch attended the Seychelles meetings, and whether sanctions were discussed.

Screen Shot 2018-05-19 at 12.13.19 PM.png

U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller has subpoenaed a key assistant of long-time Donald Trump advisor Roger Stone, two people with knowledge of the matter said, the latest sign that Mueller's investigation into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election is increasingly focusing on Stone.

The subpoena was recently served on John Kakanis, 30, who has worked as a driver, accountant and operative for Stone.

Kakanis has been briefly questioned by the FBI on the topics of possible Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, the WikiLeaks website, its founder Julian Assange, and the hacker or hackers who call themselves Guccifer 2.0, one of the people with knowledge of the matter said.

Mueller has not scheduled a grand jury appearance for Kakanis, the person said.



WikiLeaks and Guccifer 2.0 each published emails and other documents from the Democratic Party in 2016 that U.S. intelligence agencies say were hacked by Russian operatives in an effort to tip the election in favor of then Republican nominee Trump.

Michael Becker, Kakanis' lawyer, did not respond to multiple requests for comment and Mueller's office declined comment.

In an emailed statement to Reuters on Friday, Stone said he believed that Mueller's scrutiny on him stemmed from "misapprehensions and misconceptions" created by the media, and that he would ultimately be exonerated of any alleged wrongdoing.

Mueller focuses on links between Roger Stone and Trump campaign aide Rick Gates 3:24 PM ET Thu, 3 May 2018 | 00:57


"I sincerely hope when this occurs that the grotesque, defamatory media campaign which I have endured for years now will finally come to its long-overdue end," wrote Stone, one of Trump's closest political advisors in the years before he ran for president.

During the 2016 Republican primaries, a Stone political action committee paid more than $130,000 to an entity called "Citroen Associates" for "voter fraud research and documentation" and "research services consulting," according to Federal Election Commission filings.

Florida state records identify the owner of Citroen Associates as John P. Kakanis.




The subpoena handed to Kakanis is the latest development suggesting that Stone, an early Trump backer whose reputation as an aggressive political operative dates back to the Watergate scandal of the 1970s, is being looked at by Mueller.

Reuters reported earlier this week that FBI agents working for Mueller delivered two subpoenas to Jason Sullivan, a social media and Twitter expert who worked for Stone during the 2016 campaign, and that agents told him Mueller's team wanted to question him about Stone and WikiLeaks.

Some of Stone's comments during the elections have prompted questions from investigators in Congress, and others, about whether he had advance knowledge of the Democratic Party material allegedly hacked by Russian intelligence and sent to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who published it.

Stone, including in an appearance before the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee last September, has repeatedly said he never got any hacked emails from Assange or WikiLeaks or Russians, and that he never passed any hacked emails to Trump, his campaign or anyone else.

Mueller is investigating whether Russia meddled in the presidential election and if Moscow colluded with the Trump campaign. Both Russia and Trump deny collusion.

Other Trump associates who have been questioned by Mueller, including former campaign advisors Sam Nunberg and Michael Caputo, have also been asked about Stone and WikiLeaks.

"They asked me about Roger's businesses – who he worked with prior to the 2016 election. They asked me about Roger's tax returns," Nunberg said in a phone interview earlier this week, adding that he believed Mueller was stepping outside his mandate in casting such a wide net around Stone's activities.

  • President Donald Trump told veteran television reporter Lesley Stahl that he attacks the press to "demean" and "discredit" reporters so that the public won't believe "negative stories" about him.

President Donald Trump told veteran television reporter Lesley Stahl that he attacks the press to "demean" and "discredit" reporters so that the public won't believe "negative stories" about him.
Stahl said Trump made the remark during a meeting the two had at Trump Tower in the lead-up to her sit-down interview with the then-president-elect and his family in November 2016.


"At one point, he started to attack the press," Stahl told the audience at a journalism awards event at the Harvard Club in Manhattan on Monday evening. "There were no cameras in there."

"I said, 'You know, this is getting tired. Why are you doing it over and over? It's boring and it's time to end that. You know, you've won ... why do you keep hammering at this?'" Stahl went on. "And he said: 'You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so that when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you.'"

Stahl revealed Trump's comment when PBS News Hour host Judy Woodruff, who spoke at the event with Stahl, asked her what it was like to conduct the first sit-down interview with Trump after the election.

In the UK today at a parliamentary investigation into the debacle of the data collection company Cambridge Analytica. Nix admitted that both Steve Bannon and Robert Mercer were responsible for obtaining and using the companies data mining app supplied by the RUSSIAN back scholar Aleksandr Kogan, Aleksandr Kogan who had unreported links to Russian companies and a Russian university.

Nix also admitted that it was these Russian entities that financed Aleksandr Kogan studies and teachings at Cambridge and the development of the data app. Further more Nix stated that John Bolton, who was Trumps Security advisor was one of their first customers. This all after Nix stated none of the allegations were true in a previous parliamentary investigation session.
