After all these years, and all we know from the Mueller report and all the intense scrutiny and investigation by journalists, it’s pretty clear that Russia employed an unprecedented campaign of misinformation and cyber manipulation to help Trump get elected. We know Trump was aware of it, at least in a general sense, as he openly welcomed Russia attacking Hillary and the DNC, which they did almost immediately after that announcement. His son, Joonyer, met with a Russian attorney who supposedly had dirt on Hillary, and we know he was jazzed about any help Russia could give, especially later that summer. Trump is an idiot, and was probably more a useful puppet than clever collaborator. And the Russians who were calling the shots were probably smart enough to know they needed to help Trump without poisoning Trump’s campaign, or it would all be for nothing. Russia greatly assisted Trump, whether he actively participated in their efforts or not. Without Russia (and Comey’s inexplicable announcement regarding her emails) Hillary would easily have been elected. America would be stronger, more prosperous, and lives would have been saved. Hell, even Ukraine might not have been invaded. I’ll leave that question for someone else to write a book about. It was a dark, cruel twist of fate that saw Trump win in 16.
It's insane to me that the one case against PAB that seems like it might degrade into nothing is the documents case in FL. Cannon will prolly throw it for him though
Jared parlayed his White House role and “middle east peacemaker” job into $2 billion from the Saudi prince. Everything Trump and his family did during his reign was designed to funnel as much cash as possible to Trump. But it’s actually Biden, with his small loans to family, paid back to him without interest, that are the real corruption. I wonder what Jared paid himself for originating that loan. 10% finders fee maybe? $200 million?
I figure Trump got at least 50% for his cut. After all, Jared never would have gotten anywhere near that money without Daddy-in-law. He's lucky Donnie didn't demand 75%.
For all we know, 90% went to Poppy. Jared and Vanky took the money and got the hell out. They are officially retired and I’m sure laughing about the ultimate grift on America.
I don't think that Trump got his cut, he got the Oman golf course deal that Jared probably negotiated for him. For no invested money, Trump gets 5 mil a year and a promise to run it when it gets built.
You can see Ivanka and Jared carefully backing away from the trump family. they want to be separate now unless Jared gets to be secretary of state with a chance to make lots of new deals. He still won't have security clearance.
Hm. Yes to the comments about the deep state of tRump’s imagination. But I would add that it’s modeled on the J Edgar Hoover FBI, which was real and horrible. But if there one now, keeping Trump from top secret intelligence and away from the nuclear codes, I’d send them a donation.
Apparently according to Chief Of Staff Mark Meadows, head staffer, Cassidy Hutchison, Meadow's wife Debbie complained that he came home from work smelling like a bonfire and would Cassidy please get him to stop burning papers in the fireplace in his office. Wonder what that was all about?
I don't actually believe in the "Deep State" (military, police, industrial complex? Sure, but they're just regular old greedy bastards).
However, I find myself musing that if there really was one, they'd certainly have done with one DJ Trump as the threat to national security that he is.
That the fat fuck is still walking around is living proof there is no "Deep State".
That applies to all sorts of conspiracy mongers. They either would have died in "accidents," "robberies," and other "misadventures," or have been totally and effectively been stripped of any credibility by being framed for a horrendous crime.
And that's the beauty of it... them NOT killing him disproves their existence and gets you to stop looking into them. That way they can continue on doing whatever.
I'm still trying to figure out why the CIA let Trump get his grubby hands on the actual file outside of CIA headquarters. Then I remember who was in charge at the end.
Yeah, in 100 years the US is are going to be a bunch of MAGAts drinking salt water because Prez Trump (#47) sold the great lakes to the Saudis and they are still going to crow about owning the libs.
For a moment I thought "the chair of Intel" meant the Chairman of the Board of the Intel Corporation, the maker of microprocessors and the like.
There's no way in hell that a large tech corporation that lives and dies by its strategic decisions in a fast-moving market would put this bozo in charge.
Between this and the reported release of nuke sub info to the paper packaging and friend of the Hell's Angels Anthony Pratt, it sure seems like an entirely new lock-him-up indictment for espionage could be imagined.
Maybe if you're an Airman 1st class but not if you're a former President and his chief of staff?
"CROSSFIRE HURRICANE"?????
Who the bleeping heck in the T&@$p White House was a Stones fan?
The investigation started in July 2016 when Obama was still President...
Oh, THAT I get
So before they stole the thing they made copies.
Fuckers.

And Obama knew it too and refused to push.
That endlessly pisses me off.
He left HRC out to dry.
"(and Comey’s inexplicable announcement regarding her emails)"
Comey's first job was investigating WJC's blow jobs. He was a republican hatchet man. She would have fired him. He should never have had the damn job.
Ta, Liz. Shabbat Shalom. I hope your Chanukah was lit.
I assume it was, though I worry it might only have been for one night.

Now the only question is, how fast did a copy make its way to Putin?
That's probably where the original is
Years and years from now we'll still be learning of new evidence of insane malfeasance committed by PAB and his depraved enablers.
Unfu... This is too TRUE... Probably for the rest of our natural lives... And I'm considering that there are much younger than myself...
Unfu/ Unfortunately......
"Handed out"?
Doesn't seem likely.
"Auctioned off to foreign intelligence agents"?
Sounds more plausible to me.
Let's face it. Jared flew back from Saudi Arabia on January 6 with a shopping list. All Trump needed to know and cared about was his cut.
Jared parlayed his White House role and “middle east peacemaker” job into $2 billion from the Saudi prince. Everything Trump and his family did during his reign was designed to funnel as much cash as possible to Trump. But it’s actually Biden, with his small loans to family, paid back to him without interest, that are the real corruption.

She talks about it in her book.
L. Patrick Grey as acting director of the FBI burned a bag of evidence at the direction of Haldeman. It is a rethug tradition now.

However, I find myself musing that if there really was one, they'd certainly have done with one DJ Trump as the threat to national security that he is.

Exactly. If Hillary was enough of a cold-blooded psychopath that she had Vince Foster untracably offed, she’d certainly have done away with the PAB.
That applies to all sorts of conspiracy mongers. They either would have died in "accidents," "robberies," and other "misadventures," or have been totally and effectively been stripped of any credibility by being framed for a horrendous crime.
I've had that same thought. If they existed, he would certainly have been a valid target for extermination.
And that's the beauty of it... them NOT killing him disproves their existence and gets you to stop looking into them. That way they can continue on doing whatever.
😆
What mystery? C'mon, we all know where it is: in that pile of ashes in the Kremlin incinerator.

Unlike a social media platform, where no knowledge or experience of the product is a plus.
Oh, good, I wasn't the only one.
Intel’s internal security is draconian. They make the Trump White House look even more like that clown show the are.
Hey Liz, this is going to make for a hell of an Opening Arguments episode. Saturday?
Let us know. I won’t be listening because Andrew Torrez is a creeper.
