The Omnibus P01135809 Criminal Investigation Thread

Trump Held a Contest for Small-Dollar Donors to Have Dinner With Him. No One Won He did the same kind of thing with Trump University. Seems to me that this counts as fraud.

Well, come on. You wouldn't expect him to have dinner with peasants, would you?

Not sure where this should go.

All I am wondering is how does this involve hillary's emails and hunter biden's laptop. BENGHAZI!!!!!!!!

DoJ is going after Manafort again. Seems they are of the opinion that Trump's pardon of him was badly written and doesn't cover some charges:, so they're pushing a civil suit to claim ~$3M in penalties for not filing reports he was ordered to provide into his foreign dealings:

This thread has all kinds of gems on people close to Trump or who worked for the RNC who are now in legal trouble.

Well, this should be fun.

I doubt Trump is capable of answering questions for more than 10 minutes without lying. Lying is basically a reflex for him, one he is constitutionally unable to resist, even when lying doesn't benefit him in any particular way.

Probably won't get to the point of any criminal proceedings, but here's the sort of disregard for the rules Trumpites commonly hold:

It will be interesting if he just pleads the 5th for pretty much every question, which as I understand it, is what Eric did for the 500 questions he was asked.

If they ever put a needle in his arm, will I have to check this thread, or will there be a dedicated thread for it?

the fun thing about Donald is that his ego won't let him shut up. If he has a lawyer present with a cattle prod...maybe.

Looking at this, maybe there should be a government organization that is neutral and overseen by the public that handles all gifts to the president. Perhaps that position is an elected one, and the election for them comes after the presidential election.

BREAKING: FBI AGENTS RAID TRUMP'S MAR-A-LAGO RESIDENCE

Larry Hogan issues statement.

Investigating agencies have to leave a copy of a warrant at the locations that they search, so Trump can let us all know what they were after any time he wants to.

This seems relevant:

And this seems like pretty good analysis:

Not if there’s classified information.

So you do understand why the "release all the information about this search now" demand was made in bad faith? Why not just say that?

I never said release the information.

Perhaps if you'd included some sort of commentary while posting the article we'd have known that earlier

What the hell are you talking about?
