Pay attention, peeps. Right now, guilty pleas are going in, connecting the Russian Mob to the GOP.
The dam breaks from here. 🔥

AUSA Zolkind is stating the elements of the two counts to which Correia is pleading guilty.
Notable:
Count 2, to which Correia is pleading guilty, alleges an illegal $325,000 donation to the pro-Trump super PAC America First Action, thinly veiled here as [Committee-1].

(12,904 posts)There is such a thing as real investigative journalism.
The traditional media has failed us. Theres a reason no one is aware of stories this important. Someone doesnt want it known.
Fact: A prime witness to election interference has flipped and pleaded guilty. Of course theres a story there.

Lots of levels of fail.
reACTIONary
(5,768 posts).... this story. His guilty plea. Stating with the NYT that published in advance that he was expected to plead guilty.
Actually, the tweet in the OP is pretty lame. Its just an excerpt from the court document and a sensationalist headline. Not anything that should be characterized as reporting, let alone investigative reporting, as one poster did.

(838 posts)can trump pardon them?
If they plead not guilty he can't pardon them.
reACTIONary
(5,768 posts)... a pardon does not mean you are not guilty. Some will even maintain that accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt.

(11,559 posts)Why do none of these revelations ever make enough noise, or be solid enough, to have a noticeable effect? Why does the GOP get by with the flimsiest of denials?

I'm pretty sure people are keeping lists. Not too worried about that. Besides, we'll all die eventually.

(9,470 posts)The Russians got kompromat on the entire GOP.
- It goes back to when the Russians hacked the RNC when Reince Priebus was in charge.
- It's why Scott Walker quit so early (yeah, Trump was stealing some of his thunder because Snotty is more of a racist dogwhistle-type), but I don't believe he ran out of money when he has Daddy Koch-bucks backing him.
- Explains why it was so easy for Trump/Bannon/Manafort to change the 2016 GOP platform regarding Russia so easily.
- I think Paul Ryan got out in 2018 to put as much distance as he could between him and all of this treason.

Could be they've outlived their usefulness even to them.

(385 posts)Yes, they're corrupt. I know. Chasing this kind of stuff makes you look like left-wing Q. You get more out of doing the real work of organizing and letting Biden's US Attorneys do their job.
