Why look - Steven Calk's name was just uttered in court!

[Leghorn21]

Two weeks after Trump's election Manafort floated
the name of a banker who loaned him money on
false pretenses as US Secretary of the Army, Rick Gates testified.

"We need to discuss Steve Calk for Sec of Army,"Manafort wrote to Gates on Nov. 24, 2016. He signed the email as "P."

[donkeypoofed]

1. This banker was so convinced he was getting the job he even called the Pentagon to get briefings!!

[Leghorn21]

7. Oh, I DID NOT KNOW THAT, donkey!! Or if I did, I forgot!!

Yeeee HAW!!

[bettyellen]

9. Rachel did a hilarious report on it. He called the army a bunch of times and they were like who the

hell are you?!?

[janx]

11. I'd never even heard of this guy before today.

I'll have to find that segment online.

2. Keep 'em comin'! 😅 n/t

3. My Country....

Fricken SELL-OUTS and TRAITORS. Sold out AMERICA without a second thought. It was just that easy for them. Harshest of punishments need to be in order. NOT ok, on any level.

4. I can't copy Shimon's tweet links. ?

I tried the embed option but it turned out to be a mess. How did you do it?

[Leghorn21]

6. I had big messy trouble too until I discovered the thingie circled below, j -

When you click it, a thing comes up at bottom of page, “copy link to tweet” - click, and should be good to go -

[janx]

8. Thanks Leghorn.

[House of Roberts]

15. I wondered where they hid that.

I have been copying the embed link, which works, but requires more dexterity. Thanks!

[Leghorn21]

18. I knoooow, they changed the dadgum embed process a while back and then it took half an hour to

post one lousy tweet, and then like three days ago I said, hey, I wonder what happens if I click on this thingie here? - and voila! - sure glad I found it (whatever it’s called!?)! Hope it helps you as well, spread the word!!

[House of Roberts]

21. I found that symbol on my iPhone,

but my Android tablet has a different one.

[Brother Buzz]

5. There's no proof that Calk was considered for the position....

by Trump's transition team.

SO STOP SAYING THAT!

[ProfessorPlum]

12. LOL

ah, Bob Boudelang. Good times, good times

[janx]

10. I want to know more about this:

Manafort was paying him to work on the Trump campaign? Manafort was supposedly broke at this time and working for Trump's campaign without being paid.

[Ligyron]

13. and most polls had Trump losing.

Why would anyone in Manafort's position money-wise volunteer to work for free on a campaign that the smart money said would never win?

That is literally the million dollar question.

[janx]

14. Yes, but even more curious is

the question of where the money was coming from to pay Gates. The only money Manafort appeared to have at the time was from fraudulent loans, shell companies, and residual money from the pro-Russian party in Ukraine.

[erronis]

16. Manafort had been promised spigots of gold if he would help dump.

Ex-Ukraine politicians, russian bankers/plutos/peddlars.

I bet pm was surprised to be actually paid for something he did for dump given dump's desire to stiff any contractor (and any woman).

I hope pm will be surprised to find out that his loyalty to the russians will not be reciprocated.

[h2ebits]

17. Ooh. . . .Pence

I seem to recall that Manafort recommended Mike Pence for Vice President. Somewhere in my memory banks I think Manafort had Trump's plane land specifically to introduce Mike Pence to Trump.

Perhaps as the Manafort trial proceeds Mike Pence will get drawn into the pay-to-play scheme?!?! The cast of characters that Trump hired for his Administration are all proving to be put into positions to destroy the department which they are in charge of. I doubt that is coincidence.

[spanone]

19. Pay for Play....most crooked administration ever.

[lame54]

20. That's because it's fun to say

[edbermac]

22. "He said Calk!"

“Huh-huh-huh.”

[sarcasmo]

23. Steve, I'm gonna call up the Army and ask about my new job, Calk.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
