Rigging Polls for Trump

[_moksha]

John Gauger helped rig online polls for Trump before the presidential campaign. The kicker is that Gauger is the Chief IT Officer for the Evangelical Liberty University, so Trump might be able to claim the money paid as tithing as well as the skullduggery as the work of the Lord.

The connection between Messrs. Trump and Cohen and Liberty University dates at least to 2012, when Mr. Falwell invited Mr. Trump to give a speech and Mr. Cohen accompanied him. Soon after, Mr. Gauger was introduced to Mr. Cohen, helped him set up an Instagram account and gave him his cellphone number should he need more assistance, he said.

Love how suddenly Cohen is the Left's go to for "truth"....if only there were a posted history, like on a discussion board, where posters were convinced that Cohen was a liar, a cheat, and an untrustworthy scoundrel.

He is all of those things, and also a man looking for redemption by providing all sorts of corroborated claims to Mueller.

But he can't be any of those things, because otherwise anyone who employed him for years as his trusted personal lawyer and gave him access to his personal secrets would have had to have been some kind of dummy who was a really poor judge of character ... oh, wait ...

See where we are? sg is perfectly content to have his president judged to be a naïve dummy who employs crooks in long-term trusted positions, because that's the only way of arguing plausibly that the president could have had no knowledge of his employee's criminal activity.

And for him, that's a win. America, Year 2 of Lord Trump's reign. "I'm innocent folks. It's all very legal and very cool, because I am just plain dumb."

NB that this kind of argument would have made it impossible to break up any of the great mafia families that the FBI bust by turning subordinates against their capos. Since all those subordinates were by their own admission criminals, and hence untrustworthy scoundrels, liars and cheats, obviously their evidence against their boss should have been discounted.

Judged?...judged by who? you?...yes, I am content with that. And "only way"?....you have not even proven that this criminal activity actually occurred...so yeah, there is "another way" to argue. You guys actually think you "gotcha!" when you ask someone "do you enjoy beating your wife?" and then run off claiming that wife beating has been proven.

Cohen has confessed to criminal activity at a significant level, and will serve jail time for it. The only remaining question is whether Trump knew of that criminal activity by his trusted personal lawyer or not.

If he knew: then he has been lying big-time, and is himself liable to criminal penalties.

If he didn't know: he is a naïve dummy who employs crooks in long-term trusted positions,

You have a way of getting Trump off that hook? Let's hear it. Hope it's a bit better than 'Cohen was lying when he confessed to the crimes that are sending him to jail'.

When you make these comments, you simply cannot be taken seriously, after your previous decade of applying no such standards to your own crazy collection of kooky conspiracy beliefs regarding the Clintons, Obama, or virtually anyone with a ‘D’ following their name, all of which possess considerably less ’evidence’ of anything compared to Trump’s behavior.

I love that he had to get someone from Jesus Freak Bible College to do the nerd stuff.
