(51,129 posts)Your frantic efforts to discredit really are funny. And should all this prove out will you be among the first to admit you're wrong?

(12,380 posts)A guy who has padded his CV, makes out that he was one of the top players working for Clinton, (in reality he was working in Office Administration) making these huge claims that Trump is in the Russia Mafia.
He is the left's version of Alex Jones.

(108,977 posts)This was decades ago, when he was the Director of Volunteers, overseeing a small paid staff and 3,000 volunteers around the world.
Also, he worked on multiple Democratic campaigns.
He's had plenty of time and opportunity to make connections with people who have remained in the political and intelligence worlds.

BTW in 1993 when Claude Taylor was apparently disqualifying himself as a source of raw information per this diarists odd priorities because he only made $35,000 a year in the Clinton Administration, I was only making $125,000 as a sportscaster at ESPN.
As always theres a lot of stuff online and all of it should be taken with a grain of salt. Mr. Taylor would even agree with that. But if he says there are two grand juries including one in the DC area, and five days later the FBI Director matter-of-factly confirms the bureau is cooperating with two prosecutors including the one for the Eastern District of Virginia, and John Dean who knows more about grand juries and presidents than everybody else in this country combined thinks theres nothing else they could be cooperating about in Virginia except a Grand Jury, I think it contributes to Taylors credibility on this story, and Ill disseminate it as I did.
I would point out that one of the stories I was proudest of during my years at Countdown was The Nexus of Politics And Terror about the odd coincidences of timing among Bush terror warnings and stories, and Bush political vulnerabilities. Without checking my files Im not sure exactly where I got the raw timeline data for that one which was met by abuse and doubt from the Bushies (until Tom Ridge later confirmed its essential point). I think the site was called Daily Close or something like that.
Lastly if anybody knows why your salary from 24 years ago is relevant, please post below. Ill check back in a couple of days. https://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/5/5/1659292/-No-Claude-Taylor-and-company-are-not-reputable-sources-on-Trump-Russia

(3,194 posts)I've been on DU since 2004. I've seen stuff like this time and again. For his entire 2nd term, I read how Shrub's days were numbered. How members of the White House would be brought up on charges. How possible WAR CRIMES were committed, and that if he did make it through his term, there was still a great chance Shrub or his minions would be indicted down the road. I guess I missed that.
If people want to get all excited about the latest miracle that's about to happen, go right ahead. The OP is not the only one who thinks this is a pie in the sky fantasy, which will never develop.
If it does, I will be among the first to say I was completely wrong. But if it doesn't, will all those who said that THIS TIME IT'S REAL, going to come and say they were wrong, and they won't get carried away the next time some "dream scenario" is rumored?
If there was any there....there.....the mainstream media, Dumb as they are, would have picked this up. Hell....they report plenty of stories that turn out to be false, so the fact they won't touch this one, means it is not even potentially real.

(3,194 posts)Oh yeah....served no jail time at all.
Scooter was the fall guy....everyone knew it. Where were the indictments for Rove & Cheney, which had been talked about for months here?
Nobody cared about Scooter, the real culprits got away with it, and Fitzgerald's supposed investigation resolved nothing about what truly happened. And that was nothing compared to what Drumpf is accused of, which is why nothing will happen.

(47,209 posts)Speculating about his ouster. Better than pretending there could be nothing to see here, or that this is just partisan bullshit. That's really not helpful.
I love that people are talking impeachment. More senators should follow suit!

(21,786 posts)a new Democratic Congress, more to the point, if Trump's terrible polling continues to drag the Republican Party down with him. It's pretty safe to say that a Democratic Congress would pursue impeachment if a Republican wouldn't. Saying "18 months" doesn't require a crystal ball or mysterious "sources".

(3,194 posts)There will NEVER be enough repub fraudsters on board to vote for impeachment. Ya see....when it's a Democrat like Clinton, there are Dems all too willing to vote for Impeachment.
But repubs STICK TOGETHER. Blood brothers til the end. They'll never trash one of their own. NEVER.
