[Continuation] Breaking: Mueller Grand Jury charges filed, arrests as soon as Monday pt 2 - Page 2 - International Skeptics Forum
Not even that. He was forced into the sanctions, and then ignored them. It was only after the UK nerve agent attack that he actually implemented the sanctions, and then in a way that didn't actually hurt Russia at all.
You think we should allow Fox News to decide whether or not there will be an impeachment of the President? Because that's what point 3 says when you think about it.

Speaking of sanctions... looks like there's some more action on that front, finally. Greatly, greatly delayed and conveniently right after Trump's G7 rant about how they should just let Russia back in (I had actually been wondering what at least seemingly anti-Russia thing the Administration would pull out after that, really). Whether they'll actually be enforced or be meaningful is yet another uncertainty.
I'm guessing it has to do with the Deep State running an underground pizza parlor inside a child trafficking ring. On Mars.

U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller warned that Russian intelligence services have active “interference operations” in the U.S. and asked a judge to limit the pretrial evidence provided to a Russian firm indicted over meddling in the 2016 election.
I assume it never occurred to them that one of the defendants would appear and contest the charges, let alone mock them while doing so:
I've never seen anything like this. An investigator working to stop foreign meddling in our election, and right wing supporters are happy that the investigation is being mocked? This is mind blowing. I guess we really get to see who the party of traitors is and it's been the GOP all along. Not really surprised though. Those that are usually the most traitorous wrap themselves in the flag.
Thank you for this, seriously. Mind blowing how pathetic politics in the US has become, and this is a specific example.

So Mueller claiming to have evidence of broader Russian interference than just this case, that pertains to continuing interference, is evidence that the "Russians" aren't behind it?
No it shows that the indictments were a silly stunt and Mueller is going to end up with egg on his face when he finally dismisses the indictment against Concord.
On May 8, 2017, President Trump announced his intent to nominate Friedrich to serve as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, to a seat vacated by Reggie Walton who assumed senior status on December 31, 2015.[6][7] She was formally nominated on June 7, 2017.[8] On July 25, 2017, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on her nomination.[9] Her nomination was reported out of committee by voice vote on September 14, 2017.[10] On November 16, 2017, the U.S. Senate voted 93–4 to invoke cloture on Friedrich's nomination.[11] On November 27, the Senate voted 97–3 to confirm her to the District Court.[12] She received her judicial commission on December 1, 2017.
In a brief order Saturday evening, U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich offered no explanation for her decision to deny a request prosecutors made Friday to put off the scheduled Wednesday arraignment for Concord Management and Consulting, one of the three firms charged in the case.
I've never seen anything like this. An investigator working to stop foreign meddling in our election, and right wing supporters are happy that the investigation is being mocked?
It is curious you scare-quoted "Russians" and focused on Mueller making an alleged mistake when he is citing that he has evidence of broader and continuing Russian interference.
I don't belong to a political party. For now, I'll support the one that's not selling out the country. I wish more Republicans would remember that the nation comes before party.
I don't think anyone expected much from the Russian indictments, but feel free to spike the ball anyway.
I see that Mueller is claiming to have evidence of broader and continuing Russian interference. Your focus is oddly myopic and jumping to conclusions.
I am myopic? Your last three posts have credulously repeated Mueller’s arguments without even the slightest bit of skepticism.
Anyone who opposes The Fuhrer must be attacked no matter the facts, and no matter that he is guilty of far worse transgressions. Such is the cult following of the Imbecile-in-Chief, who at least was right on one point: His cult will remain loyal no matter what.
How many mistakes has Mueller made with regards to the law? How many mistakes have you made with regards to the law? I am going to side with Mueller until someone with any education, knowledge, or experience handling this form of law can get me an intelligent breakdown. Nothing that I have seen here has persuaded me.
oh man.... folks do not criticize Mueller with links to third party sources because you are in the Fuhrer's "cult."
Good call. Mueller is IMO an American hero. He cares about what's true, and he's going to do his best to bring it to light.
Trump uses this same arguing style, as do a lot of his supporters (or not supporters as it seems ). Isolate an incident as if it never happens outside of this one time, then be like, "What the? How come I do this one thing and all of a sudden I'm a Trump supporter?!?!?"
So far you've attacked anyone that's gone after Trump, in one case on almost an obsessive level. All of your arguments that you make in the threads I see you in seem to be oddly void of any comment at all when it comes to Trump, pro or con. Yet, they are extremely aggressive towards anyone that's hunting him. Is there any other explanation? This event notwithstanding.
Although Iran remains a significant concern for its continued financial and logistical support of terrorism, Iraq has moved to the top of my list. As we previously briefed this Committee, Iraq's WMD program poses a clear threat to our national security, a threat that will certainly increase in the event of future military action against Iraq. Baghdad has the capability and, we presume, the will to use biological, chemical, or radiological weapons against US domestic targets in the event of a US invasion. We are also concerned about terrorist organizations with direct ties to Iraq—such as the Iranian dissident group, Mujahidin-e Khalq, and the Palestinian Abu Nidal Organization.
That's not what McCarthyism was, but fortunately we don't have to jump to conclusions about what evidence the federal intelligence agencies does or does not have. The judge was given information under court seal. You are claiming that Mueller was making an "McCarthyist" "excuse" in the explicit absence of evidence.
The investigation and court cases are going to proceed, so jumping on not having access to information that is specifically not publicly available to somehow argue that such information doesn't exist is a ridiculously short-sighted and nonsensical strategy.
Except for Trump's team and Republican propagandists, where undermining Mueller in the court of public opinion while he is investigating in necessary silence allows for a few outs. The first that the Special Counsel's conclusion can be weathered by the Republicans in Congress if it can be sufficiently discounted as partisan, witch-hunt, etc. The second that interfering (via firings or other means) can be excused for those reasons.
While I appreciate people taking an interest in the subject, one quickly realizes that perhaps this is the first time one has considered the issues? Mueller is acting like McCarthy
Mueller and his team are way over their skis and are going to have make a hard decision to dismiss the indictment.
What's wrong with acting like McCarthy? Your cult leader counts McCarthy as a hero. His buddy Cohn is definitively a major mentor of trump. That's fact.
Not until you are charged or indicted. It's part of discovery in a trial, not part of the investigation.
Google has been contacting publishers of Web-based classified advertising sites, requesting a direct feed of listings, according to Classified Intelligence, a research firm focused on the industry.
Recruitment site CareerBuilder is in discussions with Google, analyst John Zappe wrote in a research note on Tuesday, while Adicio, a provider of software that powers newspaper job sites, told Zappe that it was working with its affiliates to determine a response to Google's request.
Google doesn't need a feed, Zappe wrote, but the Web-crawling and indexing process it uses would be very time-consuming and laborious.
"If the company can obtain a direct feed, parsing the data becomes easier, and indexing the listings is faster," he wrote. "It also puts less burden on the bandwidth and servers at the originating site."
Classified Intelligence Editorial Director Jim Townsend told internetnews.com that making classified ads available through an organic Google search would definitely change the game, but exactly how remains to be determined.
There are two schools of thought, he said. On the one hand, search provided additional distribution of the ad.
"If someone pays to place an ad in a newspaper, wouldn't it make sense to throw that paper on as many streets as possible? It's distribution, distribution, distribution," he said.
On other side of that coin, Townsend said, ads that are freely available through search could destroy the pricing model used by print and online classifieds publishers.
"Just as Craigslist had a lot to do with killing the paid real estate listings," Townsend said, "the more you give away for free, the harder it is to place a high value on it."
The stakes are high. In Jupiter Research's "U.S. Local Online Advertising Forecast, 2005 to 2010," released last week, analyst David Card forecast spending in the U.S. for online local advertising will grow at an annual compounded rate of 11 percent, or from 2005 to 2010 -- from $3.2 billion in 2005 to $5.3 billion in 2010.
Classified advertising will garner almost 70 percent of that total throughout the forecast period. (Jupiter Research and internetnews.com are owned by the same corporation.)
Classified Intelligence estimates the worldwide classifieds market, in all its forms, at $100 billion per year.
Dion Lim, vice president of business development at SimplyHired, said the vertical portal for job search isn't worried about competition from Google.
SimplyHired offers metasearch of multiple job listings sites, along with tools to get more information and manage searches that can last for months.
"Google is validating that searchers want to go to one place to search all the jobs out there," he said. "But search is just one aspect of the experience."
SimplyHired lets users search using multiple criteria or filters. It also provides buttons under listings that let jobseekers check on the average salary for that position or see whether anyone they're connected to on social networking service LinkedIn could make an introduction.
Townsend said that the online classifieds industry will move from a pay-for-listing model to a pay-for-performance one. Instead of charging advertisers to post their ads, classifieds sites will get paid only if someone clicks on the ad.
In that model, search engines become their friends, because they can deliver a more qualified audience.
"What that's worth, we're going to have to see," Townsend said. "If it's proven to be the way to reach people, [pay-per-click] prices will rise again."
