Just to reiterate what has come to light, for emphasis:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

The attorney general of the United States has been taking overseas junkets in an attempt to discredit United States intelligence findings that Russia interfered with United States presidential elections.

I know it’s easy to feel numb about the events of the past 3-4 years but if you sit back and consider it freshly anew, that is absolutely mind-shattering.

1. It isn't complicated is it? That's exactly what they did and have

been trying to cover up. We’re going to need a lot of

[spanone]

3. all for show, for that fascist piece of shit Trump

[ffr]

4. It's almost as though republicans doen't care abouc our nation and only about power and money.

What am I saying! That's all they've ever cared about.

[TxVietVet]

10. I've been saying that for years

You’re the only other person that has mentioned that. The conservanazis have been working for years to have permanent majorities in Congress to rule the US.

12. Decades, in fact.

[Mike 03]

5. Barr made a severe miscalculation thinking he could go behind the CIA/FBI's back

to the foreign intel agencies they deal with on a day to day basis and seek their betrayal of our own intelligence agencies. The intel community is tight; these people work together all the time and have some degree of trust. No wonder the whistleblower is said to be a CIA person.

6. Ya because its the functional definition of goddamn ESPIONAGE AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.

[chowder66]

7. I don't feel numb. I feel disgusted and these fuckers need to be thrown out. nt

[c-rational]

8. Unbelievable, but according to the reThuglican playbook. Also, why did those Rethugs go to

Russia back on July 4. My guess is to learn about using the secure Russian server that could not be subpoenaed.

[Botany]

9. I have a special practice w/one client

[kentuck]

11. For real!

Recruit a foreign intelligence to investigate our intelligence. Huh?

To what end? To help Russia and to help himself?

It is sort of mind-scattering.

13. It's a shame imperviousness negates irony.
