White House counsel contradicts the firing of Flynn story "we didn't know he lied" and that they knew he lied to the FBI. Documentation is key!!!!

Their right mind doesn’t think all of the unsourced quotes are accurate, and we can easily assume the worst?

These people are the worst sort of money laundering, slave trafficking, murderous, venal, fraudulent, slanderous, mendacious criminals the world has seen since post Weimar Germany

They put the BFEE to shame on a scale heretofore unknown

They make them look like the gang that couldn’t shoot straight

They have no idea what’s really going on

That’s why all they knew about was Benghazi, emails, and the corrupt Clinton foundation, and NEVER heard about the money laundering, the Russia money connections, the MOB connections, the myriad other crooked happenings

Just watch and see how Mueller is swiftboated into Kerry, right before your eyes

There are already too many repukes on record who support him and don't want him fired.
He may still get fired, if all the dominoes starting falling, but they already have a backup plan in case it happens.

among high-level Republicans is pulling the other way. The investigation threatens to uncover what they really need hidden about themselves, not just Trump's group.

For instance, they passed laws that allowed Russia to legally donate money to reelect them and many of their PACs and NPOs have been taking money from Putin. Plus Russia has been paying to get more Republicans into office, and how would their constituents feel about that, legal or not?

Btw, it's past epiphany time for some. Why were the Russians electing Republicans and doing their best to keep Democrats out of office?

And God knows what else they would have found he was up to with 5 min of investigation.

Hillary had to fight the MSM, The GOP, 20 years of lies about her, the FBI, and Russia.

And she still got 3 million more votes than the guy that got 5 billion in free advertising.

What he's doing now will be seen as historic and monumental by future generations. Mueller is a lawman and he's focused on saving our Constitution, you know - that thing that Trump swore to uphold when he was inaugurated? In my career (I'm retired now) we often used the expression "I'm having lots of fun" but it really meant "I have a lot to do."

Malaise, do a mueller/Kerry media swiftboating thread

They’ll read it if you post it

So obvious that’s what they’re letting them do now

MSNBC doesn’t count, unfortunately

They’re all whaling away on broadcast tv, and that’s what matters

Funny about this. I've been really trying to get some peace from the bad news of the past two days. I was about to just delete the recording and go watch a movie. But something urged me to check into DU first where I found the thread about McCabe's backing Comey. Wow is right!

One of Robert Altman’s best:



You’ll feel better, til the ending

What a beautifully shot, but murky, movie

There’s a great bio of Altman, in the ‘’as told by everybody around him,’’ style, like Merle Miller’s Truman bio

Really fascinating

What a maniac he was

Do your self a favor

Maybe I should, too.....but I can’t HELP MYSELF!!!!

“Trump was aware of the issue a couple of weeks before a conversation with then-FBI Director James B. Comey in which Comey said the president asked him if he could be lenient while investigating Flynn, whom Trump had just fired for misleading Pence about the nature of his conversations with the Russian.”

She pointed out some things about what Adam Schiff said last nite on her show that were quite shocking; being that Russian money was laundered through the Trump campaign and how they also donated money to the campaign.

that Russia has Trump by the financial nuts. IMHO, what Russia has that's even more important than the financial strings it has on Trump is their knowledge that Trump isn't nearly as rich as he claims. Think about Trump's ego and how his whole self-worth is tied up in how rich he is and what a great businessman he is. Putin and his trolls could destroy that myth any time they want. Trump must be terrified he'll be exposed as a bankrupt fraud.

In the shower.

Trump acts as if his survival is threatened. That’s when you act out of ego. Ego is there to ensure our (individual) survival. At
least, to TRY to survive. Trump is 150% ego- driven.
