couple of people in this thread

 

[AZBeauty]

So far Obama appointees have:

1) Blocked his travel ban multiple times
2) Exposed Flynn
3) Rebuked Trump's wiretapping claims

And #Trumpset still don't want to listen

The white house leaking like crazy lol. They can't catch a break. The incompetence on display probably has staffers clawing their ways to the press. I love it. I'd like more

 

[Gus Money]

Damn he's really about to flip. As my dad would say "at least they're keeping it interesting."

 

[Black Panther]

Just so y'all know:

Robert Kelner, Flynn's lawyer who issued the statement requesting immunity for Flynn, is Team #NeverTrump:

“Donald Trump’s effort to stir up trouble at polling places and to question, without any factual foundation, the fairness of the general election is a dangerous and unprecedented attack on our democratic institutions,” Robert Kelner — a partner at Covington & Burling who has represented the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee, and the National Republican Senatorial Committee in the past — told BuzzFeed News.

“The only real threat to this election is the reported effort by Russian intelligence services to hack election systems, which is something that Trump himself has failed to condemn,” Kelner said.

Seriously, check his Twitter feed.

Choice of attorney makes me think he's serious. Looks like he's sending a signal.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Im not getting to excited

 

[ineedsleep212]

Random but were some nuts invited to the Senate hearing or something? David Brock doesn't exist now?

 

[King of Creampies]

Even if he decided not to come forward the threat he posed is real enough and everyone is watching...because if he flips and testifies he may really get Trump impeached.....if he doesn't people will be getting at this dude non-stop to find out something.

Very Very interesting..and I am quite sure some very anxious parties in Russia are watching like a muthafukka prolly rubbing their hands like Birdman on some shyt...guess this Prez shyt ain't too grand eh Donald?

This clown Hannity is obsessed with Obama

FBI Visits Office of Saipan Casino Run by Trump Protege

FBI Visits Office of Saipan Casino Run by Trump Protege

• Federal agents arrived Thursday at Best Sunshine offices
• Hong Kong-listed Imperial Pacific operates Saipan casino

Agents from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation visited an office belonging to the operator of a casino on the remote U.S. island of Saipan that has attracted attention for its huge revenues, according to a local legislator and residents.

FBI personnel, accompanied by uniformed police officers, arrived Thursday morning at a local office used by Imperial Pacific International Holdings Ltd., the Hong Kong-based company that owns the Best Sunshine Live casino, local residents said. They stayed for several hours, with local police blocking access to the building.

Local and federal authorities were reported to be entering a Best Sunshine office on Saipan on March 31.

“There definitely was some kind of investigation or raid being done," said Ed Propst, a member of the territorial legislature. "It appears to be a joint effort between local and federal authorities."

The FBI "is not in a position to comment at this time" on any enforcement actions in Saipan, said Michele Ernst, a spokeswoman for the bureau in Hawaii, whose jurisdiction includes the island. An Imperial Pacific representative declined to confirm or deny a visit to its facility by federal law enforcement.

Saipan local television, KSPN2, reported an FBI raid at the Best Sunshine office. It’s not known whether Imperial Pacific was the target of any investigation or what law enforcement officials may have been seeking.

Shares of Imperial Pacific dropped as much as 5.6 percent in Hong Kong Friday.

Saipan, an island of 50,000 residents closer to China than to Hawaii, relaxed rules on casinos in 2014 and soon awarded Imperial Pacific exclusive rights to open casinos there. The casino, run by an executive who cut his teeth in Atlantic City casinos then owned by Donald Trump, enlisted a slate of luminary overseers including former leaders of both the Republican and Democratic national parties in the U.S.

Those cash flows attracted interest from the U.S. Treasury unit that monitors suspicious financial flows, a person familiar with the matter said in November. A spokesman for the unit declined to comment for this article.

Imperial Pacific has been sued several times since it opened the casino, including in December by a former executive accusing it of violating money-laundering rules.

The company says it complies with regulations and that high transaction volumes are the result of high-rollers, including Chinese who sometimes bet millions of dollars at a time. In response to the former executive’s suit, it told the court this month that it would file an amended answer soon.

More recently, in a dispute to which Imperial was not a party, a court found credible evidence that effectively illustrated connections between the company and a separate firm, Esteem Capital Success Ltd., that paid for Saipan legislators to take "fact-finding" trips to Hong Kong and Macau shortly before the island granted its sole gaming license to the Hong Kong company.

While Imperial Pacific and Governor Ralph Torres said last year that Esteem wasn’t involved in the bidding process, the judgment described evidence that Ji Xiaobo, the son of Imperial Pacific’s controlling shareholder, was an Esteem representative. Imperial Pacific’s headquarters are currently in the same suite as the one specified in the decision as Esteem’s office.

Imperial Pacific this week declined to comment on any links with Esteem. Torres said he wasn’t aware of any connection.

Imperial Pacific Chairman Mark Brown is a former executive in President Trump’s Atlantic City casino empire. He has led Imperial Pacific’s plan to replace what it describes as a temporary gaming facility with a much larger casino complex in coming weeks.
