[AMV] Amerikaanse politiek #517: Trade war.. Trade war never changes

Giuliani suggests Trump may pardon Manafort after Mueller’s probe

White House lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani suggested Sunday that President Trump might pardon his former campaign manager Paul Manafort if he is convicted — but only after special counsel Robert S. Mueller III has completed his investigation.

“When it’s over, hey, he’s the president of the United States, he retains his pardon power, nobody’s taking that away from him,” Giuliani said on CNN’s “State of the Union” when asked whether Trump would pardon Manafort should he be convicted. “I couldn’t and I don’t want to take any prerogatives away from him.”

But Giuliani stressed that Trump has not issued, would not issue and should not issue any pardons related to the Mueller probe while it is still ongoing, so as not to give the appearance that he has anything to hide.

“The president has not issued pardons in this investigation. The president is not going to issue pardons in this investigation, and my advice to him as long as I am his lawyer is not to do it because you just cloud what is becoming now a very clear picture of an extremely unfair investigation with no criminality involved of any kind,” Giuliani said.

Klinkt weer geruststellend van Giuliani. Ten eerste is hij dus actief bezig om Trump van gratie af te praten tijdens het onderzoek, en daarnaast geeft hij al een signaal dat hij gaat vertrekken.

“This is the first that we've heard about it, and it is deeply disturbing because if this was shared by New York field agents with Devin Nunes, was it also shared with Rudy Giuliani? Or did Devin Nunes do something, which we have seen subsequently, which is coordinated with the Trump team?” Schiff said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“Was this information shared by the committee with Rudy Giuliani or shared directly with them? We don't know the answer but we hope the inspector general will find out,” Schiff added.

realDonaldTrump twitterde op maandag 18-06-2018 om 02:42:04 Why was the FBI's sick loser, Peter Strzok, working on the totally discredited Mueller team of 13 Angry & Conflicted Democrats, when Strzok was giving Crooked Hillary a free pass yet telling his lover, lawyer Lisa Page, that "we'll stop" Trump from becoming President? Witch Hunt! reageer retweet

quote:

The FBI agent who was removed from the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign for sending anti-Trump texts intends to testify before the House Judiciary Committee and any other congressional committee that asks, his attorney said in a letter made public Sunday.

Peter Strzok, who was singled out in a recent Justice Department inspector general report for the politically charged messages, would be willing to testify without immunity, and he would not invoke his Fifth Amendment rights in response to any question, his attorney, Aitan Goelman, said in an interview Sunday. Strzok has become a special target of President Trump, who has used the texts to question the Russia investigation.

Goelman said Strzok "wants the chance to clear his name and tell his story."

"He thinks that his position, character and actions have all been misrepresented and caricatured, and he wants an opportunity to remedy that," the lawyer said.

If Strzok were to testify publicly, the hearing could be explosive, perhaps exposing new details about investigators' thinking on some of the FBI's most ­high-profile probes.

Strzok had a leadership role on both the investigation of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state, as well as the probe into whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the 2016 election. That investigation is now being led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, who once considered Strzok a key member of his team but removed him once informed of the anti-Trump messages.

Goelman said he had not discussed any dates with lawmakers on when Strzok might appear at a hearing. Politico reported that House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) had started the process to subpoena Strzok, though Goelman said that the lawmaker had done so without having asked whether Strzok might appear voluntarily.

Goelman, who is with the firm Zuckerman Spaeder, wrote in a letter to Goodlatte that a subpoena would be "wholly unnecessary."

"Special Agent Strzok, who has been fully cooperative with the DOJ Office of Inspector General, intends to voluntarily appear and testify before your committee and any other congressional committee that invites him," Goelman wrote.

Spokesmen for Goodlatte did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment ­Sunday.

Kinderen werden onder Obama in kooien gestopt. Wel interessant om te zien hoe dat werkt. Gebruik maken van een loophole in de wet. Je stuurt je kinderen naar de VS. Die komen illegaal het land in. Komen volgens de wet in een programma. Worden dus niet terug gestuurd. En later kunnen dan via chain migration de ouders alsnog de VS binnen geraken. Wat voor ouders ben je als je dat je kinderen aandoet? Dikke egoisten.

Overigens als kinderen nooit van hun ouders gescheiden mogen worden kun je de kinderbescherming wel opheffen en alle criminelen in de gevangenis die kinderen hebben ook wel vrijlaten. Conclusie: als je in de VS wil gaan leven en wonen doe het dan legaal. Probleem is dat zowel de GOP als DNC die mensen uitbuit. De GOP voor goedkope arbeid. De DNC als stemvee voor komende verkiezingen. Eigenlijk precies waarom de EU ook voor massa immigratie was.

They are undocumented. They entered the country illegally. And when they were apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, they were shipped to Nogales from overwhelmed processing facilities in Texas.

But they are still children in cages, not gangsters, not delinquents. Just children, 900 of them, in a makeshift border-town processing center that is larger than a football field. They pass the day sitting on benches or lying side by side on tiny blue mattresses pressed up against each other on nearly every square inch of the floor in the fenced areas.

The White House's "zero tolerance" immigration policy and resulting separations of undocumented parents and kids is exploding into the most emotive and politically unpredictable test yet of President Donald Trump's effort to change the character of America.

As outrage grows over traumatic stories of families being torn apart, the big question this week in Washington is how long the controversial practice will be politically sustainable amid a wave of criticism.
A related issue is whether Trump will pay a political price for his false claim that the separations are the fault of Democrats, and not the result of his own administration's change in how undocumented immigrants are treated.

Those questions are likely to be shaped by increasing calls for the administration to consider the morality of separating families. It's not just the usual Democrats who are criticizing the administration -- some prominent Republicans, including first lady Melania Trump and former first lady Laura Bush, religious leaders and influential figures in Trump's conservative evangelical base, are also speaking out.
