Discussion
, no matter what.
House Democrats plan a vast probe of Trump and Russia, with a heavy focus on money laundering that will include multiple committees and dramatic public hearings, and could last into 2020, according to Axios.

But also Democrats are considering ways to uncover what was said in Trump's private meeting with Putin, according to a member of Congress, "whether that's subpoenaing the notes or subpoenaing the interpreter or other steps."

Michael Bloomberg is preparing to spend at least $500 million from his own pocket to deny Trump a second term. The sum represents a floor, not a ceiling, on the billionaire’s potential spending to defeat the president in 2020.
If Bloomberg declines to seek the presidency, his intention is to run an unprecedented data-heavy campaign designed to operate as a shadow political party for the eventual Democratic nominee.

Best campaign for Democrats will be simply saying;
'Why is Trump not using the same team of advisors / campaign managers for 2020 that put him in the White House in 2016?'
'Because they are all in jail'

One can only hope that such a campaign successfully elects a president and legislature that will overhaul political campaign rules so that niether that campaign strategy, nor the one that elected Trump could ever happen again.

I was thinking that surely this is exactly what Bezos will be doing with some of his billions. There's the delightful prospect of a few super-Pacs drowning out the Trump noise in 2020.

trumps campaign chairman has been found to have lied about his contacts with Russians.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson has decided that Paul Manafort “intentionally made multiple false statements to the FBI, the OSC and the grand jury concerning matters that were material to the investigation.” She especially noted the lies about Kilimnik.

Here’s what stands out to me from today’s ruling:
Manafort lied about his contacts with an individual affiliated with Russian intelligence. And he lied intentionally.
If Manafort had told the truth, it would have been so damaging to Trump as to negate his chances of a pardon.

Many people are asking questions as to why Manafort is still lying, still trying to cover up for trump. They suggest he still believes he will get a pardon from trump

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler has published a letter to Matt Whitaker basically saying he's in deep trouble for lying during his testimony last week.
"Although the committee appreciates your decision to appear, members on both sides of the aisle found many of your answers to be unsatisfactory, incomplete or contradicted by other evidence," Nadler's letter read. "You repeatedly refused to offer clear responses regarding your communications with the White House, and you were inconsistent in your application of the Department's policy related to the discussion of ongoing investigations."
https://edition.cnn.com/2019/02/13/politics/house-...
The Dems on the committee kept pushing Whitaker who claimed under oath that he hadn’t discussed the Robert Mueller probe with Donald Trump, because they knew something.
Jerry Nadler’s letter to Matt Whitaker says that the committee has “identified several individuals with direct knowledge of the phone calls you denied receiving from the White House.” For the moment, Nadler is merely asking Whitaker to come back and “clarify” his answers under oath, but lets be under no doubt, Whjiotaker was also trying to cover for trump and has been caught out.
So many people willing to throw away their careers for trump.

Interesting, Kushner further implicated in the Manafort ruling...
Paul Manafort had meeting his meeting with Konstantin Kilimnik at the Grand Havana Room in New York City on 2nd August 2016, which address just happens to be 666 Fifth Avenue. That’s right, the meeting took place in the Manhattan skyscraper that was owned by Jared Kushner, that was in deep financial trouble over, that he was seeking middle east financial bailout over...
Jared Kushner and his family were actively shopping for a loan of over a billion dollars in late 2016, and early 2017 to bail out the building he owns on 666 Fifth Avenue. Now Reuters is reporting that the Qatari government is suddenly trying to distance itself from the bailout it gave to the Kushners back in April of 2017.
Remember that Jared Kushner’s father Charles sought financing from Qatari Finance Minister Ali Sharif Al Emadi in April of 2017. Charles could not get the funding he asked for from Qatar, then, one month later, in May of 2017, Jared Kushner reportedly supported Saudi Arabia in a blockade of Qatar.
This move against Qatar was a shock and a complete reversal of prior US support of Qatar. Qatar is home to Al Udeid Air Base, a key U.S. military installation, and Qatar is considered an important US ally. In April the Kushners reached a deal with an investor with ties to Qatar, and then, also in April the Trump administration told Saudi Arabia it was time to end the blockade against Qatar.
Donald Trump’s campaign chairman met with a Russian spy during the 2016 election in Donald Trump’s son-in-law’s building. Out of all the places in New York, why there?
