Just reading Palmer's Report and...

[mrsv]

He is reporting "This week House Intelligence Committee chair Devin Nunes got his hands on some kind of classified intelligence through unofficial channels, and it spooked him to the point that he broke every protocol – and may have broken his career in the process. Nunes insists someone on the Donald Trump transition team was legally picked up on a wiretap that was targeted at someone else. And it appears the person incidentally surveilled was Vice President Mike Pence"

I don't know how to repost the entire article. Pence was talking with Manafort.

1. That would clear up the problem with just removing trump and leaving pence

Wouldn't it be wild if he were more like dick cheney, in that he's the evil mastermind?

Impeach pence first!

[sarah FAILIN]

4. but then who??

Fire or frying pan, idk what is worse.

[truebluegreen]

31. If either one is removed first, POTUS

nominates a new Veep, who has to be approved by majority vote of both Houses. If they are removed at the same time, the line of succession goes to the Speaker.

30. They should all be taken out-no illegitimate gov

Hmm...If Pence is also complicit, then this whole house of cards may very well fall down. We need a full, independent investigation NOW to know who knew what and when regarding Russian influence. I feel like our reps are starting to get some swagger and fight, but it's still going to be up to the average person to get up off our asses and fight this evil. We can't wait for others to do it. We need to be doing more massive protests ASAP with signs that say TRAITORS and maybe a massive art project that involved Putin pulling a Trump puppet strings. I dunno...getting riled up, confused, and hopeless at the same time.

2. I take the Palmer Report with a large grain of salt.

It's all Fitzmass with that guy.

[NightWatcher]

5. I keep seeing a story where trump was going to pick Christie but manafort tricked trump

into picking Pence instead.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-offered-chris-christie-vice-president-role-before-mike-pence/

Donald Trump offered New Jersey Governor Chris Christie the job of vice president, sources confirm to CBS News. Days before the Republican National Convention, however, Trump reneged on the deal after others in his inner circle convinced him otherwise.

First reported by the New York Post, an indecisive Trump had initially decided on Christie after the New Jersey governor made his final case to Trump on July 12.

Christie, the first former presidential candidate to get behind Trump after a poor showing in the New Hampshire primary, had assumed a high profile role on the campaign prior to the Convention – reaching out to donors and potential high profile supporters.

Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager at the time, allegedly had another idea in mind.

Manafort had arranged for Trump to meet with his first choice for the job on July 13: Indiana Governor Mike Pence. Afterwards, the plans was for Trump and Pence to then fly back to New York together and a formal announcement would be made, a campaign source said of Manafort’s thinking.

What if the Manafort tap exposed Pence?

I thought they were keeping Pence away because trump was toxic, but what if it were the other way around?

[mrsv]

7. But...

Wasn't it Manafort who faked plane problems so trump wouldn't pick Christie...and Pence instead?

11. Very partisan and a bit click-baitish, all in serviceto a donate button.

Not that there is anything with using a donate button to support partisan politics, but it can skew content because there is a profit motive.

12. Palmer

I've been folowing the Palmer Report since the beginning of the year. It's editorial mixed with facts. he's been out ahead of this story for the most part.

[LisaM]

13. I'm not saying it's fake news.

But I think he tends to write stories with a liberal slant that make it sounds as if everything's suddenly going to be fine. And then it isn't.

[demmiblue]

17. I don't read him at all. Same with Dworkin. n/t

[womanofthehills]

21. He is good to read because he is usually a day or two before most media get on the story

[womanofthehills]

20. Actually, the Palmer Report is has been great and right on

He gives his sources in blue.

Oh My!

6. Hence the silence

He sure has gone quiet

14. sounds like a fake news site nt

[NYETNYET]

15. please...please...please

[oberliner]

16. That is not a legit source

It's a guy in his basement.

[womanofthehills]

23. You say this everytime we quote Palmer

Name one story he got wrong in the past few months.

28. The Palmer Report Is Not News And Its An Insult To The Left

“Articles on Palmer Report and Daily News Bin contain deliberately misleading headlines. Those headlines and the claims made in the articles tend not to be supported by the sources cited in the article. So, they are opinion pieces, not news articles. This would be fine if they were clearly labeled as editorial content, but they aren’t."

[Glimmer of Hope]

29. FWIW I showed one of Palmer's articles regarding the Wisconsin recount to an attorney who

was participating in the recount and he told me the article had a lot of problems. He said there were some inaccuracies and parts of the article did not make sense.

[bigtree]

24. you can take his reports like all media

...some things are verifiable, some are less.

[womanofthehills]

25. His are usually very verifiable - he links you to Daily Kos for this story on Pense

[mrsv]

32. Is Occupy Democrats a fake news site?

They have a similar

18. Kick

[tblue37]

19. Well, Pence was selected by Manafort, and the 2 talked on the phone daily, usually more than

once per day. Since Manafort was under surveillance, Pence's calls to him would have been captured, too.

[jmg257]

22. Well that doesn't mix well with the report that the WH leaked to Nunes.

Or the notion that the subject of a FISA warrant is most usually a foreigner.

Someone has their story wrong.

[still_one]

26. if you want to repost the article, you report the link to the article

you do this by going to the web page where the article is, select the address of that web page and do a copy and paste

[C_U_L8R]

27. Whoa... there goes Trump's insurance policy.

Ryan's got to be drooling over this.
