Breaking: The Con told two Russian officials in 2017 that he was unconcerned

[malaise]

about Russian interference in the US elections since the US does the same in other countries

in the WP according to Anderson Cooper.

This is a clear confession that he knew about interference

[Shaddox]

1. JFC - this is just jaw dropping. If this isn't the end, well the country is lost.

[malaise]

3. This is the end

Justice is coming - there are more leaks now than after a Cat 4 hurricane.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. you've been telling it ...

You've been saying for quite some time that justice is coming for Don the Con. I wanted to believe it, but cynicism kept getting in the way. Now, it looks like justice is looming over The Dumbest Don and I dare to hope.

Thanks.

[malaise]

23. WaterMan has been saying it even longer

We old fools have been around a long time.
Don the Con has always been playing smart but not being clever. These fools always get caught. They cannot beat all the checks and balances because they are arrogant dumb fucks.
What a great week.

[rufus dog]

37. agree

You both have been calm. I on the other hand want to go out and knock some friggen heads.

I am Tom Joad.

[malaise]

39. LOL

Institutions don't survive for hundreds of years to be toppled by fools.
The real issue will be how to repair all the damage done by this monster

[Ahpook]

43. Bout time?

It is amazing it went this far

I mean this country has been skating on shitville for ages.

Finally a bit of justice

[malaise]

44. Dems only took over in January

This is way faster than Nixon

[Ahpook]

45. I'm not getting to excited like most

What I meant was, this country has had problems for ages. To place Trump in the first place is majorly fucked up! What is going to stop it from happening again?

These are small victories, I agree.

[malaise]

46. The only thing that stops it is an informed population who pay attention

People cannot vote for con men and criminals and expect democracy.

[Ahpook]

47. That's the problem

Trump is a symptom!

[malaise]

48. Agree n/t

[Claritie Pixie]

2. Whoa!!! Who gave up this info?

The cards are tumbling at lightning speed.

[malaise]

4. This was also in the secret server

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. And to think of how he ranted and raved about Hillary's server!

Guilty conscience, I'm guessing.

[malaise]

16. That's why so many of us are howling with laughter

The end is nigh!

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. That secret server is turning into a gold mine!

[tblue37]

26. Officials with knowledge of the situation--maybe someone he has dismissed since then? nt

[Iliyah]

5. A flood of shit is coming out about t-rump. . .

Seriously, I wonder if the Republican party no longer needs him . . . .

Hell, they have basically gotten many RWer judges into place both US Supreme Court and Federal. God knows what else these MF have done.

[malaise]

9. Everyone is seizing this moment

Down he does - they all know he is a liability

[coti]

19. Maybe they just think he's going to lose 2020 and want a different horse nt

Trump told Russian officials in 2017 he wasn’t concerned about Moscow’s interference in U.S. election



https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/trump-told-russian-officials-in-2017-he-wasnt-concerned-about-moscows-interference-in-us-election/2019/09/27/b20a8bc8-e159-11e9-b199-f638bf2c340f_story.html

President Trump told two senior Russian officials in a 2017 Oval Office meeting that he was unconcerned about Moscow’s interference in the U.S. election because the United States did the same in other countries, an assertion that prompted alarmed White House officials to limit access to the remarks to an unusually small number of people, according to three former officials with knowledge of the matter.

The comments, which have not been previously reported, were part of a now-infamous meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, in which Trump revealed highly classified information that exposed a source of intelligence on the Islamic State. He also said during the meeting that firing FBI Director James B. Comey the day before had relieved “great pressure” on him.

A memorandum summarizing the meeting was limited to all but a few officials with the highest security clearances in an attempt to keep the president’s comments from being disclosed publicly, according to the former officials, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.

The White House’s classification of records about Trump’s communications with foreign officials is now a central part of the impeachment inquiry launched this week by House Democrats. An intelligence community whistleblower has alleged that the White House placed a record of Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukraine’s president, in which he offered U.S. assistance investigating his political opponents, into a code-word classified system reserved for the most sensitive intelligence information.

[H2O Man]

11. Recommended.

It is getting almost fun. He's fucking disgusting, and dangerous. Yet I'm laughing so much tonight.

[malaise]

14. I've been laughing all week

Does this mean that whoever was Chief of Staff in 2017 covered this up?

[H2O Man]

18. 'Spect so.

There were a lot of criminals in the Nixon administration. There were more in the Reagan administration. Quite a few in both Bush administrations. But nothing compares with this.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142373692

I had put this in my OP too -

[malaise]

22. As we'd say

Di dam bruk!!!

[BumRushDaShow]

25. ....

And I bet calls about the Saudi oil field attacks purportedly by Iran, with "half of the production" supposedly impacted (that was then magically fixed a week or two later) are probably files on that server too.

[malaise]

27. Of course

This is too good

[BumRushDaShow]

28. I'm sure the subpoenas are being drafted as we post.

[HipChick]

29. This traitor gotta go...

[WheelWalker]

30. Bolton's revenge.

[BeyondGeography]

31. The knives are out

[Claritie Pixie]

32. The sources: 3 WH officials who were there at the time.

Rachel Maddow is speaking to the WaPo reporter.

[malaise]

34. I'd like Mr Mueller to weigh in on this one

and all those who knew and did not tell Mueller.
They'd better build some new prisons

[Freethinker65]

33. Thought this was old news?? From the laughing with Russians while making fun of Comey and...

And stupidly talking about classified info trying to impress his Russian pals meeting, correct?

[BumRushDaShow]

38. That was the narrative the last 2 years

based on all the idiotic statements and the pics. HOWEVER now they have an official "memo" (a record) that actually confirms what had been speculated about all this time!

[JohnnyLib2]

35. So--many in the White House knew from early on that he was dangerously ignorant and undisciplined.

But none came forth. Sickening.

[malaise]

36. Precisely

They didn't even contact Mueller

[Toorich]

40. The Daily Oklahoman...

... the most right wing newspaper in this right wing State, ran an editorial today
that basically expressed disgust for tRump.
When this paper chops the legs from under a republikan pResident, believe me,
Hell just froze over!!!!!

[malaise]

42. That's great news

[DesertRat]

49. Every time I turn off the news something new breaks

It's mind boggling!

[IndyOp]

50. I think quite a few people throughout the world think it is hilarious

we the people are so naive that we have no clue that this is what our agents do throughout the world.

Horrific comeuppance, eh?

[malaise]

51. Many of us know about US interference in our elections

and there are many people who have made said point but you really don't expect it to be made by the US President.

[IndyOp]

52. Yes, exactly. That he did make it is good for clueless U.S. citizens. (nt)

[malaise]

53. Agree n/t

[Kid Berwyn]

54. Ha ha it is to laugh.
