I checked it was not. So we have zero idea what was actually said. Consider NO TRUMP SUPPORTER would care any ways, in their mind its all FAKE

It references the (possible) strategy that they (Trump) released the news of it's existence as a way to discredit the FBI/Justice Dept. for a "leak." I absolutely agree that this wouldn't sway any tRumper, but in the casual-observer group, it could raise doubt of the probe's legitimacy. It wouldn't surprise me that they're looking for tiny bits of support that they can tug their way. Desperation for something that isn't horrible news.

3. who cares what trump says? Or thinks, he lies as a natural response, he can claim anything he wants

It will have zero bearing on investigations or indictments as all criminals LIE. The noose is closing.

And the Rs managed to gain control of the White House, the Senate and the Congress (and with all of that, appointments to the Judiciary branch as well) without achieving a majority of the vote. And it's not the first time that Rs have managed that feat in both the House and Senate. We've got some daunting structural disadvantages that allow this to happen with uncontrolled gerrymandering and the antiquated system that is the Electoral College. Our "majority" doesn't mean crap if we don't actually cast our ballots, like more than 46% of the eligible electorate failed to do in 2016.

I have posted this dozens of times. EVERY DU MEMBER MUST roll their sleeves up and get off their fucking asses to register new voters, contribute time and money to get democrats elected at every level and help get the vote out and perform poll watching duty. IF WE DONT DO THIS WE LOSE AND DESERVE WHAT COMES OUR WAY

hand wringing and complaining in DU is no longer the option
