1/ Viz Russian sanctions.

Let me give you a quick read. Today's explosion of b.s. on the memo is partly to cover for his desire to make sure he didn't have to impose sanctions on the home office in Moscow.



2/ Every time the President says, "No collusion..." think of this day. *Every* American intelligence agency reports that Russia interfered in our election, and *continues* to interfere today via influence operations online, and intel operations on a massive scale.





3/ So you can believe that Trump just *forgot* to apply real sanctions as *required* by law, or you can be a rational person and recognize compromise when you see it staring you in the face.




4/ This is a country that arrested Puton's only opponent yesterday on (ahem) trumped-up charges. This is a country out to screw us internationally at every pass. There's no alliance to be had. No accord to be made.





5/ The reality is, Trump isn't angry at Putin for arresting political rivals. He's jealous. He isn't angry at Putin's interference. He's grateful.

1. Evan McMullin agrees: Memo release intended to distract from Trump not imposing sanctions

Don’t be too distracted by the Nunes memo scheme, the most important news of the night is Trump’s refusal to implement new sanctions on Moscow needed to deter its ongoing influence operations.

Previous tweet from McMullin:

.@realDonaldTrump is refusing to implement new bipartisan Kremlin sanctions vital to protecting our democracy. In doing so, he’s chosen Putin’s interests over our own. Trump’s subservience to Moscow is real and a serious national security problem.

6. Is this a separate OP? If not, would you please make it one?

Everyone needs to look up their MoCs on Twitter and retweet these to them.

3. And thanks for decades of work helping to build this shitshow.

While liberals were warning you that you were playing with fire and this was going to be the outcome.

Go fuck yourself Rick. This clusterfuck that may end this country is your fault and every other "Republican strategist" since Goldwater. It's a little late to be sounding alarm bells now. Asshole.
