Aww, no answers? You can only squeeze out one tiny little lol brain fart?

Guess I'll just assume that you:

1. now understand the importance of anon sources.
2. understand that people have sacrificed a great deal to call Trump out.
3. You don't call Trump out as much as anybody here.
4. You have no idea what Trump's connections to Russia are, or what Mueller knows.

"Bob Woodward’s New Book, ‘Fear’"

How shall I describe the book? - a noisy empty barrel? a fart in an empty pair of pants? a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing?

So many choices ...




THUGGER admits it's not about RUSSIA !!! and is, in fact, a witch hunt. "Trump better be innocent of any wrong doing, anywhere, anytime."

The best choice is Trump's own words:
“Real power is — I don’t even want to use the word — fear.”
– Presidential candidate Donald J. Trump in an interview with Bob Woodward and Robert Costa on March 31, 2016, at the Old Post Office Pavilion, Trump International Hotel, Washington, D.C.

Note to Readers of Fear
Interviews for this book were conducted under the journalist ground rule of “deep background.” This means that all the information could be used but I would not say who provided it. The book is drawn from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand participants and witnesses to these events. Nearly all allowed me to tape-record our interviews so the story could be told with more precision. When I have attributed exact quotations, thoughts or conclusions to the participants, that information comes from the person, a colleague with direct knowledge, or from meeting notes, personal diaries, files and government or personal documents.
President Trump declined to be interviewed for this book.

I am not being ironic while writing that 1kiki would like the end of the book, where Trump's lawyer, after resigning, is convinced that Mueller does not have a case against Trump:
Quote:

Dowd remained convinced that Mueller never had a Russian case or an obstruction case. He was looking for the perjury trap. And in a brutally honest self-evaluation, he believed that Mueller had played him, and the president, for suckers in order to get their cooperation on witnesses and documents.

Dowd was disappointed in Mueller, pulling such a sleight of hand.

After 47 years, Dowd knew the game, knew prosecutors. They built cases. With all the testimony and documents, Mueller could string together something that would look bad. Maybe they had something new and damning as he now more than half-suspected. Maybe some witness like Flynn had changed his testimony. Things like that happened and that could change the ball game dramatically. Former top aide comes clean, admits to lying, turns on the president. Dowd didn’t think so but he had to worry and consider the possibility.

Some things were clear and many were not in such a complex, tangled investigation. There was no perfect X-ray, no tapes, no engineer’s drawing. Dowd believed that the president had not colluded with Russia or obstructed justice.

But in the man and his presidency Dowd had seen the tragic flaw. In the political back-and-forth, the evasions, the denials, the tweeting, the obscuring, crying “Fake News,” the indignation, Trump had one overriding problem that Dowd knew but could not bring himself to say to the president: “You’re a fucking liar.”

Trump's lawyer, Dowd, is only thinking about Trump. But Mueller's investigation was not all about Trump. The appointment of a special counsel was to investigate Russian interference with the 2016 presidential election and related matters, including any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump.

I, too, believe the same as Trump's lawyer that Mueller does not have a case to make that Trump coordinated with Russia. But Trump is not the only person who could have coordinated on that campaign. And if Mueller digs into Trump's connections with Russian gangsters laundering their money by purchasing property from Trump, Mueller might stumble upon proof of Trump's tax evasions. Unfortunately for Trump, a tax case is covered by the instructions to the special counsel:
Quote:

(c) If the Special Counsel believes it is necessary and appropriate, the Special Counsel is authorized to prosecute federal crimes arising from the investigation of these matters.

You all keep posting away AS IF YOU KNOW HOW THIS WILL TURN OUT.

You don't. Which is why I think you're all idiots.

I don't bother answering stupid questions anymore. I just laugh at them.

I'll let time prove you wrong. I'm a patient man. You wouldn't know anything about patience.

Certain predictions can be made without knowing how things turn out. We don't know that 1kiki will be alive and posting in January, but it is a pretty solid prediction that you will be defending Trump next year and the year after when he's running for President. And it's pretty solid that no Democrat will be up to your high standards for President in 2020, but Trump will!
