How come every one of them forgot their meetings with the Russians

[malaise]

every single fucking one of them and they forgot all their meetings with Russians.
By the looks of it most of them had more than one meeting with them.

If the shoe fits...

[Chasstev365]

1. The plausibility is absurd!

These are some really stupid people! Do they really think, "I don't recall" will protected them?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

46. Their denial is NOT plausible at all

There is just so much accumulated "smoke", you know that there just HAS to be some fire/truth to the allegations about collusion during the campaign. Plus, we know that the GOP has been pretty openly expressing fondness for Putin in recent years, so it's not terribly surprising that there would be some behind-the-scenes stuff going on. I think (or hope) we will soon be learning the extent to which Putin and/or his subordinates are directly or individually involved with Trump and the GOP.

61. Seems to be working

for now.

[Leith]

2. The Selective Forgetfullness Is Interesting

They didn't forget the meetings. They purposely left them off the forms, figuring that somebody would have to dig deep to find them. If somebody did find out about them, they would (and did) pass it off as "forgot because it was so nothing."

Those meetings are a major part of the nucleus of their business interests. Everything else is theater for the masses.

[angrychair]

6. Exactly

Quote from every trump campaign and cabinet member "Well I remembered every other meeting, just so happens, complete coincidence I assure you, meetings attended by any Russians just so happen to have been unimportant, just a nothing burger really" 🤔

"Nothing burger" what a seriously irrational phrase, what the hell is that and what asshole do I have to punch for coining that stupid catch phrase.

[malaise]

26. Priebus is your

quintessential nothing burger

[ProfessorPlum]

71. I think it was Neil Gorsuch's mom in the 1980s, I kid you not

A would be Reagan appointee.

[ProfessorPlum]

72. She may not have coined it, only made it famous.

https://lexmaniac.wordpress.com/2017/06/18/nothing-burger/

That distinction may belong to Helen Gurley Brown.

[angrychair]

73. Good find

Of course it would be a republican! (Going with Burford because of its Reagan tie in with politics)

[MiddleClass]

44. Republicans invented the memory wiper from men in Black

I guess that's where they got that idea for the movie

[The Wielding Truth]

59. They must be told to lie first, then change it, then admit it. It's their pattern.

[mercuryblues]

3. every single time

1st step is to deny the meeting

2nd. oh that meeting.

3rd I don't remember what we discussed

4th Oh no. Even though I don't remember what was discussed, I can assure you it wasn't about anything to that can be considered collusion.

5th well yes, it could be considered collusion, but it isn't illegal.

[malaise]

4. Perfect summary of

their 'studied' talking points

[Proud Liberal Dem]

47. +1

Yup. That seems to be the (il)logical progression of their way of handling this situation.

[central scrutinizer]

75. We didn't collude because their information wasn't damaging enough

So although we hoped to collude, we couldn't, so nothing to see here.

[panader0]

5. What about Kelly Conway?

It would be rich if she had undisclosed meetings too.

[malaise]

7. I'd place good money on that bet

[barbtries]

10. i'm not sure she's capable

of holding an actual nuts and bolts conversation. too busy spinning like a top.

[LuckyLib]

57. Exactly. What would seem like her "listening" is really simply waiting for her turn to spin

her blather.

[maxsolomon]

66. She replaced Manafort as "manager" BECAUSE she was clean

Manafort knew his connections would be a liability, so he moved into the shadows.

[Solly Mack]

8. Obviously, their memory is in the red.

[barbtries]

9. yep, and

where there's smoke, there's fire.

they're a bunch of greedy scofflaws and traitors and i hate them for making me hate.

[woodsprite]

11. The Russian's used one of these....

[malaise]

15. What's that?

Help!

[woodsprite]

17. It's a Neuralyzer from the movie "Men in Black".

You flash it in someone's eyes and they forget what they saw.

[malaise]

21. LOL

Thanks

[forgotmylogin]

18. It's a "neuralizer".

[MiddleClass]

45. Beat me to the punch, with a picture in all

[lunatica]

12. What a brilliant observation!

Now that's a damn good question!

[malaise]

14. Warner just raised it in an interview Tapper is showing

It's the only question. Wooooooooooooooooooot -on with the investigation

[heather blossom]

13. Got the Perfect Prison Sentence for these Traitors

Send them to Guantanamo. Perfect place for the Trump family.

[world wide wally]

43. Guantana-Mar-A-Lago

[malaise]

65. No one should be in Guantanamo Bay

The amount of persons who were forced to live on old polluted runways has led to horrific numbers of folks with cancer - not to mention the absence of 'due process of law'.

[Lucinda]

16. Yep.

[hamsterjill]

19. But they're NEW at this and that's what the people wanted, yada, yada, yada...

That's what they scream when they are tied down and caught red-handed. They aren't "establishment politics" and that's why Americans voted for Trump. Gag me with a spoon.

Trust me, the shoe not only fits, the shoe is bronzed to their rich, greedy feet.

I'm SO sick of the denials, the deflection and the lying. I'm tired of the journalists and others who keeps saying what the Trump camp said is "not accurate" when the correct word is "lying".

Enough of this crap. He needs to be impeached.

[NewJeffCT]

20. Time Travel, obviously

They got a hold of the Time Turner and turned back time so the meetings never happened in their eyes?

[malaise]

23. But it's amazing how quickly DonJ changed his tune

There is real evidence of complicity - soon it won't be individual men singing - we'll have an entire fugging choir.

Something big is coming - I can't wait.

[lpbk2713]

22. If Runny RayGun can claim amnesia over Iran Contra ...

then they figure the same defense ought to work for them too.

[malaise]

24. Well to be truthful

The Reagan gang should have been imprisoned

[lpbk2713]

27. Of course they should.

That whole episode was a farce. The fact that RayGun got away with it encourages them.

[magicarpet]

67. Un-punished Re-thug Treason.....

1 Nixon - Viet peace agree sapped.

2 Reagan - Iran hostage delay.
~~~~~~ - Contra illegal weapons.

3 Bush/Cheney - Illegal war on false premises.

4 tr-dump - illegal meddling/collusion with Russian spies, agents, and operatives in American elections, administrative, diplomatic, political, economic, and financial policies.

All above treasonous actions remain un-punished in any way, shape, or form. Then we are astounded and amazed that they continue to blatantly commit treason again and again and again.

They suffer no repercussions for their act of treason and America is irreparably damaged. But we do little to nothing to stop them. Like we think common sense and common decency will prevail - get real.

They need to be slammed and punish with all of their assets clawed back and deposited into government general fund depository accounts.

They can not get off scot-free and walk away and allowed to hatch new schemes of treason against America down the road.

America is only so resilient then it will crash and burn in a cesspool of total failure and its eventual demise.

[lpbk2713]

70. It will always beat the hell out of me ...

why anyone in their right mind would ever vote for these thieves and liars.

[madokie]

25. They all have something to hide

plain as day to me that they're all a bunch of crooks. Every stinking one of them. If we have a judicial system as we're been taught that we do their days are numbered. If this turns in to another fitzmas then I lose faith in our system 100%. Theres just no two ways about it they're all anti American and about as crooked as a barrel of snakes
As a friend used to say, theres nothing wrong with having a pet snake as long as you know exactly where it is at all times. Thats the way I see the tRump/pEnce administration. Trouble is they lie to us even when the truth would sound better

[malaise]

29. +1,000

LOCK THEM UP!

[madokie]

50. Yesterday wouldn't be soon enough

I shouldn't feel this way maybe but I'm going to do the happy dance when this mo'fo' goes down. Pretty much everyone who I know that voted for him are just like him when it comes right down to it. Racist, homophobic, xenophobic and jeebus will save us kind

We can do better and we must do better. We have to work our asses off getting Democratic Party members elected.

If you'll notice the 'CON party is chock full of weirdo's. Its rare that a Dem pulls any of the shit they do

I'm a 100% Proud Democratic Party Member

[H2O Man]

28. Coincidence, maybe?

Mr. Mueller will soon announce a better answer.

Recommended.

[malaise]

31. It's one hell of a coincidence

Every one of them - including the VP

[H2O Man]

34. Right.

I don't believe in coincidence.

[malaise]

36. And then there's the 'silencing of the scumbags' by Lyin' Ryan

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/house-majority-leader-to-colleagues-in-2016-i-think-putin-pays-trump/2017/05/17/515f6f8a-3aff-11e7-8854-21f359183e8c_story.html?utm_term=.a0d4d66eced6
<snip>
A month before Donald Trump clinched the Republican nomination, one of his closest allies in Congress — House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy — made a politically explosive assertion in a private conversation on Capitol Hill with his fellow GOP leaders: that Trump could be the beneficiary of payments from Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said, according to a recording of the June 15, 2016, exchange, which was listened to and verified by The Washington Post. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher is a Californian Republican known in Congress as a fervent defender of Putin and Russia.

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.

[The_Casual_Observer]

30. Even that motherfucker jeff sessions. "oh, that didn't count..."

[malaise]

33. I was writing that as you posted

[ck4829]

32. They're the Silence from Dr Who? Yeah, that's the ticket.

[Mr. Ected]

35. Occam's Razor

Every single one of them is lying.

The fact that the saturation is 100% proves that this was not by accident.

The fact that a cover-up was instigated proves that they know that crimes were committed.

There is no other explanation. None.

LOCK. THEM. UP.

[malaise]

39. +1,000

and not only them - many others were in on it all

[MiddleClass]

37. A sure sign of guilt

They sure as hell knew they were guilty of something.

Now to find out what

[Initech]

38. They used the neuralizer from Men In Black?

[malaise]

41. See I learn something everyday

[Initech]

48. Until the neuralizer is used on you and you forget it!

[malaise]

49. Ha

[kentuck]

40. Good question, malaise!

In my opinion, the order came down from the top that Donald had some important business interests in Russia and he did not want any of his hires to discuss Russia. I think everyone in his Cabinet and everyone in the White House had that understanding.

[malaise]

42. I don't think it was an order

I think 'the family' met and discussed it all. Classic collusion on all sides

[LakeArenal]

51. They can't remember

because there were so many meetings with Russians. Who could remember all of them.. It's just too confusing for the dump team. And let's face it, the names all sound the same..

[BigmanPigman]

52. Possible reasons...

group amnesia, we are new at this, oops...my bad, so and so said I could, multiple personality disorder,...etc.

[SCVDem]

53. Since they have collective amnesia,

I believe we should drug test all of them.

Prove you are not under the influence and are just a bunch of greedy traitors!

[NBachers]

54. Why do they still have their security clearances?

[malaise]

55. Great question

[bora13]

56. I forgot

"You.. can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You say.. "Steve.. how can I be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes?" First.. get a million dollars. Now.. you say, "Steve.. what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, 'You.. have never paid taxes'?" Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: "I forgot!" How many times do we let ourselves get into terrible situations because we don't say "I forgot"? Let's say you're on trial for armed robbery. You say to the judge, "I forgot armed robbery was illegal." Let's suppose he says back to you, "You have committed a foul crime. you have stolen hundreds and thousands of dollars from people at random, and you say, 'I forgot'?" Two simple words: Excuuuuuse me!!" "

- Steve Martin

[malaise]

58. Well this gang of goons sure forgot

[lib-ruhl]

60. When ever this administration is caught with a new revelation.

They'll first try to lie.. then deflect and then if all else fails blame O, HC or democrats

It's lather.. rinse..repeat

How 45s support isn't in the single digits is beyond me.

[malaise]

62. So true

Welcome to DU lib-ruhl

[Fred Sanders]

63. After T. Jr. met with the Russian lawyer...days later came the email info. Coincidence?

There may be not be a smoking gun just yet, but the gun is full of gunpowder.

[malaise]

69. Won't be long

LOCK THEM UP!

[Takket]

64. .

¯_ (ツ _/¯

uhhhh......... my shrugging guy isn't working lol

[3catwoman3]

68. A selective amnesia mickey...

...slipped into their vodka shots?

[L. Coyote]

74. Because they paid for the Wikileaks dump in advance?

That would be enough reason to commit a series of felonies to cover up the truth.

[Zen Democrat]

76. And ole Jefferson Sessions disremembered a few meetings with the Russians -- under oath.

[C_U_L8R]

77. It's not coincidence.

It's conspiracy.
