On RACHEL -- **MAJOR** BREAKING STORY ON NEWSWEEK TOMORROW

[BigBearJohn]

Western Europe Intelligence agencies are gathering intelligence on Donald Trump as they see him as a threat to their countrie's security. This is MAJOR, MAJOR, MAJOR!!!!! Check on Newsweek tomorrow. HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGE bombshell AGAINST Trump. HUGE!

I know too many people have called "wolf" before, but I never saw Rachel Maddow excited like this before. She usually is last to get this excited.

[oldtime dfl_er]

1. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic

and I'm burned out on all the promises of bombshells. It better be huge, is all I'm saying.

[GWC58]

2. Not sarcasm! This is for real!!!

[yeoman6987]

5. Most Americans never been to Europe and will yawn.

[Kingofalldems]

6. Trumpies desperately hoping for that.

[brettdale]

3. Im sorry, but I dont believe it

I just dont beleive it at all.

[Mz Pip]

4. They did a story on Trump a few weeks ago

All about his business dealings. I hoped it would get traction but no, just more nonsense about emails.

Good for Newsweek but no one else will give a shit.

[brettdale]

9. Theres not a link on their wenpage about it

Or on any of their social media accounts.

Maybe the OP can provide us with one.

If not, maybe the mods can delete this thread.

[groundloop]

25. OP said TOMORROW.... wouldn't expect there to be a link yet

[Native]

47. Kurt Eichenwald tweeted about this today.

[bdamomma]

7. What a good way to end the week

its Friday!!!!! and they are serving Trump on a platter.

[subterranean]

8. Can't she give us a hint?

Edit: Never mind. I saw some of the other posts about it.

[brettdale]

11. or at least

Is their a link saying this is actually happening?

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. Too late.

The train has left the station.

[Catherine Vincent]

20. Agree.

Too little, too late.

[BigBearJohn]

12. I believe that Europe is feeling very threatened if Trump gets in.

Sounds to me as if Europe is joining hands AGAINST Trump.
Can't wait to hear more tomorrow. Rachel never gets excited
like this. She is usually pretty calm, cool and collected. For
her to get excited like this means something TO ME.

[TrekLuver]

15. This makes sense to me. Of course Europe has their knickers in a twist.

Would America not be horrified if we saw a Donald Trump running for office in Europe? And this happening in America is just 10x worse since we are the world leader.

[Pachamama]

40. I am splitting my time between US and Europe and I can tell you that the fear & concern around Trump

...is very real and I have never heard so many discussions about what is happening in a US election. People in Europe, mostly Germans, but also Eastern Europe, are very very worried. Trump is often brought up in comparisons to the rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany. And they are very serious and not being over dramatic or alarmist.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

59. the weak Republicans who refused to counter a Putin ally

ought to be tared and feathered.

Rachel just walked on to Jimmy Fallon and did not bring up this article.

[brettdale]

13. Post a link

Post a link to rachel/newsweek, where she says this.

[Rose Siding]

16. Rachel is broadcasting live. Check your local listing or check out msnbc.com

[Takket]

14. why is this big news?

I would be stunned to learned that there is a major US politician that they AREN'T gathering intelligence on.

[brettdale]

18. HOW IS THIS EVEN NEWS?

I mean seriously???

People have known this has been happening for centuries.

Not quite breaking news, or big news.

[brettdale]

17. WELL THAT FUCKIN SUCKS THE STORY IS....

Just seen the cover of newsweek on twitter, all the story is that.

The Russians wanted Trump to win and tried to influence the election.

[RandySF]

19. You're assuming there are sane people who care.

[spanone]

21. here's the rachel video...

[Kablooie]

29. Well that didn't seem so special.

Sure another article coming out damaging to Trump but she said nothing about a major revelation.
And any damaging info to Trump won't affect the people that want to vote for him anyway.
About the only thing that would affect their votes is if he died before the election.
Probably many of them would still vote for him anyway.

[mr_liberal]

22. Nobody would care what Western Europe countries think.

In fact thisi will probably help Trump. Its a nothing story.

[Doodley]

27. Nobody in US cares if Western nations are under threat because of Trump?

You think Americans are that stupid and that cavalier?

[BayouBengal07]

35. Yes.

[mr_liberal]

43. No theyre smart enough to know its not true.

Americans do not want to be told by Europe who to vote for for president. That'll just make them do the opposite. Rachel Maddow doesn't know what she's talking about. If Democrats listened to her theyd lose every election.

[flying-skeleton]

23. Sorry .... Not believing it until I see it.

Too many people crying wolf for too long !!

[MADem]

33. See post 32 and read the last paragraph. nt

[raging moderate]

24. Merci beaucoup! Danke schoen!

I am grateful to Europe for helping us in our hour of need.

[napi21]

30. HERE, HERE! I thank them too, and I hope what they have to say about Con's association with

Putty will convince a lot of voters to decide against him on Tuesday. there are still a lot of voters who are old enough to remember the Russian Empire as our enemy, and even younger voters realize he's not a great guy.

[DLnyc]

28. I hope Europe would be prepared to boycott us into oblivion

in the (hopefully impossible) scenario where Drumpf somehow would manage to get closer to the White House than the lobby of his crappy hotel!

Seriously, I think we should ask all responsible nations to go on record that they would not trade with a Drumpf-led nightmare!

[longship]

31. Rachel's program tonight is incredible.

Spencer Ackerman of the Guardian is great on his revelation of the NY FBI office. And it doesn't stop there. The Newsweek story is breaking.

[MADem]

32. *****PREVIEW LINK FROM MEDIAITE******

The real 'lede' is Russian interference in our elections.

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/why-the-russians-are-backing-trump-maddow-previews-blockbuster-newsweek-story/

Just as has been done previously with huge stories broken by Newsweek’s Kurt Eichenwald, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow got a hold of some excerpts of tomorrow’s article and shared them with her viewers.

In this instance, Eichenwald’s report appears to show the real reason why Russia and Vladimir Putin are backing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The story also has the subtitle that claims Putin wants to weaken NATO.

One of the parts of the story that will come out in tomorrow’s issue is that Russia was apparently freaked out when the GOP candidate attacked the Khan family, believing that these actions would end up with Trump being forced out as the nominee.

According to the article, Russian officials who were hacking to influence the election felt that if Trump were replaced by the Republicans, the next candidate wouldn’t be as good for Russia. Thus, they stopped hacking documents for a while.

Maddow also noted that the article shows U.S. allies in Western Europe are are concerned that they will not be able to trust Trump.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

34. I disagree with reason for stopping the feed from Russia to Trump.

I don't think it was the Kahn Gold Star family. They were caught red handed with the DNC dump. That was about one week before he attacked the parents. Isn't that more likely the reason?

[Kathy M]

56. caught that slip myself

Timing in their story is off

[flying-skeleton]

36. Boring ... This is why !!

The intelligence community knows this already and the Trump voters won't care. They'd rather trust the Russian devil than Clinton who they've led to believe is Satan in the flesh !!

[Avalux]

51. Newsweek story tomorrow. The CIA hasn't made a move yet. They will tomorrow.

Hard-core Donald voters will vote for him no matter what, it's those with clearer heads who will care (that includes Republicans and Independents).

[SleeplessinSoCal]

58. and ads all over tv paint her as evil personified.

He, the great white con man here to save the day.

[Cha]

37. YAY!! Interesting that Newsweek is doing these exposes on trump.. and

where is Time on this?

Not that this is the important part!!

Thank you,, BBJ!!

[BigBearJohn]

38. agreed

[Cha]

53. ..

[cry baby]

39. Hope it's the nail in the coffin, but I doubt that trump supporters

will believe anything bad about the R campaign or cheating on his behalf by the Russians.

They don't believe facts.

I don't mean to be a buzz kill, but I've lost my trust in the ability of millions of Americans to reason.

[reign88]

44. Would be to little too late for something like that

Maybe if it ran earlier this week and had time to make the rounds. I don't know how much impact that will have. Regardless polls still look good for Hillary anyway. She should be fine...crazy election but almost over.

[Native]

46. I love how she always seems to get the scoop on Kurt's stories the night before they go to print.

[roamer65]

49. We best do the job on Drumpf November 8th, internally and peaceably.

Or there may be a world alliance that forcibly removes Drumpf themselves, including Canada and Mexico.

They don't want his fingers on the nuclear button and just may act to stop it.

[forest444]

50. Good - they really should leak his tax returns to us, the voting public, if they're serious.

And they should consider throwing in Melania's visa papers will they're at it.

[oasis]

54. I expect it to sway some undecided voters over to Hillary.

Trump is due to stumble AGAIN at some point before Nov.8th.

[Warren DeMontague]

55. None of these game changers are gonna change the game much, I think.

The good news is, the underlying reality is going to remain the same, election-wise, and that field has consistently looked pretty fuckin' good for us, despite wild apparent swings in the polling noise.

Now, it's a story if our European allies are terrified of that narcissistic baby-man getting in the WH, and they should be, because they're sane.

But I don't think too many of whatever undecided voters are left, in the states that count, are going to be swayed by "The French don't like him", or whatnot.

[Kathy M]

57. From watching Rachel and reading from above

sure sounds like all the fear buttons are being pushed .

As far as Europe leaders go ... it will go over as good as President Obama speaking in Britain about Brexit before their vote .

[Mike Nelson]

60. Saw this...

...did not think it rose to the "bombshell" delivery I saw given. Europe's revulsion has been reported on and is no surprise. Chris Hayes reporting, with Joy Reid guesting, on the FBI connections was a much bigger deal. I still like Rachel bringing up the Newsweek pieces, though.

[Dorian Gray]

61. Interesting....

[Fahrenthold451]

62. Wolf....

[NBachers]

63. Right now, we need the "In bed with Russian nymphets" or "In hock to Russian gangsters" videos.
