President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Devin Nunes is complicit and hoping to sink the investigation to save his own skin.

 

He was checked out back then. He did meet with Russian agents, posing as businessmen. They thought he was stupid, and not likely to be a good source of information.

There’s no evidence he knowingly met with Russian agents, sought to work with Russian agents, or passed along any information that didn’t come form public sources, and the FBI cleared him.

 

In January 2013, Page met a Russian diplomat named Victor Podobnyy at an energy conference in New York City, according to court documents.The two exchanged contact information, sent each other documents on energy policy and met several more times to discuss the topic, the documents allege. Two years later, in January of 2015, Podobnyy was charged in absentia — along with two other Russians — with working as a Russian intelligence agent under diplomatic cover.

Court records include a transcript of a conversation where Podobnyy talks about recruiting someone named “Male-1” by making “empty promises” about “connections in the [Russian] Trade Representation.” Page now acknowledges that he was “Male-1.” Podobnyy and one of the Russians had diplomatic immunity and left the U.S. The third Russian was arrested and eventually expelled from the U.S. in April 2.

 

That we know of. Mueller might know something more.

Time will tell.

 

No criminal history. Not on welfare. Didn't come here illegally. Has an in-demand job that surely this country needs more of, not less.

And yet still not being granted the right to stay here with his citizen family, when all it would take is a simple nod from the right people in authority.

I wonder what reason there could possibly be *cough*brownskin*cough* for him to be getting deported...

 

Is there any evidence that he was an informal adviser to the Kremlin?

 

If there is no partisanship in the organization, what's to worry about?

 

Right. And he wasn’t charged, was he?

Page advised them on energy policy. That’s not a crime. He provided public source information. He didn’t provide any classified information.

They though he was stupid. The FBI was aware of all of this, and cleared him.

 

Well, for one thing, it's illegal obstruction of justice.

 

So, how should this be handled?

Should the president call in the head of ICE, point this out, and say he hopes they can let the guy go?

Or would that be obstruction of justice?
