5. This is going to trace back to Tad Devine, too. "Oh what a tangled web we weave!"

6. Mahalo for this, Wwcd!

8. Tad Devine? Wow. (nt)

[MrsCoffee]

11. I told my husband before the election was over that this was going to happen.

Tad's handling of Sanders campaign and his connections to Russia and Yanukovych are not coincidental. I knew this would all come out eventually and history will not be kind to those that helped the Russians. Wittingly or unwittingly, although I have a hard time believing that anyone was unwitting here.

14. How could one not know, is a question that doesn't even require an answer.

There is no honest answer to it.
They all knew.

[Cracklin Charlie]

3. 32 counts?

Bye, Felicia.

4. Are those new charges before or after Gates won "Queen for the Day"?

[BoneyardDem]

7. Divine up to his willies in this financial mess, huh?

I wonder if Bernie knew? Was he hired for his knowledge of how be a kingmaker? Or did he somehow interject himself into the Bernie campaign to help bleed votes from Hillary?

[Wwcd]

9. I'd like to know who was in the think-tank room when is was decided that Sanders,

..a long time established DC insider, rather obscure personality quite removed from controversy & the limelight,..would suddenly join the Dem Party as a 2016 contender.

Who decided it.

[MrsCoffee]

12. Tad convinced him to run as a Democrat.

No idea who ultimately decided to let that happen. According to many here, no one needed to give him authority to do so.

“If they hadn’t started at it by really going hard at him on guns, raising a series of issues against him, that really was what led to him being much, much more aggressive than he otherwise would have been,” said Devine, the consultant who helped engineer Sanders’ plans for a protest candidacy into a real campaign (and convinced him to run as a Democrat).

Shocker, I know.

[Wwcd]

13. Well that pretty much explains the counfoundedness of the entire campaign then.

So He was the chosen one?

Isn't that what the oppo claimed about HRC?
She was the chosen one.
Preferred. Coronated.

Oligarch, War hawk, Wall Street...with Manafort & Devine running both sides, its easy to see where the smear campaign got its legs.

When you look at all the global elections Tad Devine has run media op election campaigns for, this was a straight up political, billionare driven coup against the US Govt.

"Money & Media" is what & why Manafort & Devine just do.

Devine has a long history with Manafort. Ukraine isn't the only country they exploited for campaign influence & money.

Here:
Check out some of the morally dubious people Devine has worked for below.

1. Manuel Zelaya

Former Honduran president Manuel Zelaya was ousted in a 2009 coup when he attempted to change the constitution in order to allow him to be re-elected. Zelaya, a friend of the late Hugo Chavez, at one point ordered Honduras’ television stations to air several two-hour segments for ten days in a row praising the government. A journalist in the country who was critical of Zelaya was murdered by gunmen. Devine worked as a strategist and media consultant on Zelaya’s 2005 campaign


2. Alejandro Toledo

Toledo was president of Peru from 2001 to 2006 during which he signed the Peru-United States Trade Promotion Agreement. Sanders in the Senate voted against the deal and said, “one of the major reasons that the middle class in the United States is shrinking, poverty is increasing and the gap between the rich and the poor is growing wider is in fact due to our disastrous, unfettered trade policy.” Devine worked on Toledo’s 2001 presidential campaign as a strategist and media consultant.

3. Buddy Cianci

Devine served as chief of staff for one of America’s most infamous mayors from 1979 to 1980. Cianci was elected as a Republican mayor of Providence in 1974 and served until 1984, when he resigned over an assault charge. Cianci was alleged to have beaten a man he suspected of sleeping with his wife. The mayor allegedly stuck a lit cigarette in the man’s eye and denied urinating on him — although no one had brought that detail up.

4. Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada

Devine worked on Bolivian President Sanchez de Lozada’s 2002 presidential campaign as a strategist and media consultant. Lozada is currently in exile in the United States. During the “Gas Protests” in 2003 when the president militarized natural gas production in the country, 67 civilians were killed by government forces. “Whatever harm to property or persons that might be produced as an effect of fulfilling the objective of this supreme decree shall be compensated and guaranteed by the State,” de Lozada wrote in a decree.

5. Viktor Yanukovych

Yanukovych served as prime minister and president of Ukraine at different points in recent history. Devine worked as a strategist and media consultant for Yanukovych in 2006 and 2010. Yanukovych stepped down as president in 2014 when mass protests swept his country. The former prime minister lived in an opulent mansion that cost an estimated $100 million — a symbol of the corruption charges his administration faced.

Yup. Its a good guess that with Devine's history of electioneering for profit, Mueller already suspects what Devine's purpose in 2016 was about.

Tad & Paul. Just two guys trying to making a living.

The pattern throughout 2015/16 from all the campaigns against the Dem Party & a free society was repeated as Goebbels mantra so well stated.

[mythology]

10. Apparently so did Gates given that he's expected to plead guilty

[Wwcd]

15. No coincidence that there were so many Russian mobsters running Trump's campaign

HRC would actually be a perfect President installed to clean up this Russian shithole we have now.

She knows them all. And her life goal is a free society on a global scale, where equal rights are human rights.
She knows how to achieve the best of that vision, also.
