1. Maybe this is why dotus is getting buggy. nt

[dalton99a]

4. Yep.

[Sedona]

2. AND his wife?

[OnDoutside]

9. I'm Brian ! And my wife !

[Honeycombe8]

21. The wife? Hmmmm. Guess she's more than just "the wife." nt

[bobbieinok]

29. Remember Martha Mitchell of Nixon era

She was the wife of John Mitchell, Nixon's Atty General. They kept saying she was crazy, but she helped bust the mess wide open when people finally listened to her.

[Honeycombe8]

34. No, I don't remember that. I'll look that up. nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

3. Spokesperson! I had to look that one up.

Schneiderman better have the goods cuz trump is gonna pardon everybody.

[VOX]

7. Me too...?? SPOX ??

I want knockout punches from this Mueller stuff. Although I'm prepared to be underwhelmed, as usual.

[SkyDaddy7]

40. I know we're all use to "underwhelmed"...

But this time if it is a ton circumstantial evidence that proves what everyone with a brain knows...TRUMP & his minions worked with the Russians to win the 2016 election for POTUS...But there are not multiple smoking guns proving there was a game plan who it involved & who lied about it & so & on then we will be, as you said & I fear, "underwhelmed"...It will empower TRUMP & his CULT to a point where TRUMP will become invincible in terms of forcing him to follow the law & the Constitution!

Hell, he has already told the GOP Congress to the GOP led Congress to go F*** themselves he is not going to implement the new Russian sanctions & they're too scared of his CULT to try & force him!!

...The only way to stop him will be through elections & even that will become a lot harder because a lot of people out there will just hear how TRUMP was mistreated by the LIBERAL MEDIA & run back to TRUMP!!

...Scary to even think about!!

[hlthe2b]

5. Did Woolsey remain in support of Trump through the campaign or was he one that sort of pulled back?

I have forgotten the details now. Was it him who stated during the campaign that he could no longer advise Trump?

[L. Coyote]

32. Didn't he turn in Flynn, et.al. for conspiracy to kidnap.

They dragged him into a felony situation and he wasn't having any of that shit.

6. Here: Woolsley's dirty deals with Russia & tied up with Flynn

While on Team🇷🇺Trump, CIADir Woolsey pitched $10 million contract to same Turkish group that paid Misha🇷🇺Flynn

From Reuters:
http://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN1CV2RF

Former CIA director James Woolsey pitched a $10 million contract to two Turkish businessmen to help discredit a controversial U.S.-based cleric while Woolsey was an adviser to Donald Trump's election campaign, three people familiar with the proposal said.

Just eight days after formally joining Trump's campaign as an adviser on national security issues, Woolsey met on Sept. 20, 2016 with businessmen Ekim Alptekin and Sezgin Baran Korkmaz over lunch at the Peninsula Hotel in New York, they said.

Woolsey and his wife, Nancye Miller, proposed a lobbying and public relations campaign targeting Fethullah Gulen

10. Thanks!

It is so hard to keep the cast of characters straight.

[Wwcd]

13. True. Team Mueller must dream about this every night

It's such high level crime & the list of players keeps growing in size!

[erronis]

15. It reminds me of those old Russian novels I used to read.... Oh, wait

Some new non-fictional ones are being written as we speak.

A huge cast of characters.

Some brilliant, some dim witted (can't imagine who plays that role).
Some honorable and some venal (again).
Some probably sleeping with or groping with others.
Lots of allegiance changes as if there were ever any real allegiance to anything other than power, money, sex, and Narcissus.

A long tedious story. Usually ending in one empire crushing another and the plebes suffering the vast majority of the losses.

Ahhhh, Romanticism.

Except this is a grade-C horror pulp documentary.

[fierywoman]

17. To me it reminds me of the complexity of Wagner's Ring Cycle! ..about as phantasmagorical!

[erronis]

18. That's really getting down there!

Now we need to invoke some deep diviners of souls. Unfortunately, all we have is the American Psychiatric Association saying we can't divine those things from afar, and several quacks with certificates on their walls saying this thing is "wholesome".

And, when is the last time that "phantasmagorical" was used on DU?

[fierywoman]

19. To be honest I had to spell check phantasmagorical ... I haven't used it in decades!

The APA is a start. Personally, I think I'll keep up the monthly Trump Binding rituals!

[BigmanPigman]

23. Do you think the binding rituals are working to a degree?

[fierywoman]

25. I prefer to believe so ! It always makes me laugh when I do them (have only done

2 so far.) Having been a professional (classical) musician all my life, I know the power of thought... as in: if I walk on stage thinking, "Oh dear God I am going to fuck up royally," it's more likely to happen. (BTW, of course one always has to do the work before going in front of an audience.) If I go on with, "Let's roll! And have fun!" it's more likely to go that way. That's my experience, anyway.

[BigmanPigman]

26. I have a tiny burial ground outside my doorstep

and all of the ashes, candles, feathers, etc are buried under a tiny, cardboard headstone as a marker. The moron's face is on it and the dates of all the past rituals. I wonder what people will think when they dig it up in the future. I hope and dream my efforts are working in some small way. I feel so helpless and frustrated sometimes.

[fierywoman]

38. I KNEW I was right that you're way cool!

[BigmanPigman]

39. I don't know about that.

Cool or psycho? Actually, I had pretty fun first grade and 6th grade classrooms and the kids learned a lot too. I was/am an artist so I guess being a little "out there" goes with the territory.

[Leghorn21]

12. Thankyoooou, W! I knew I'd "heard stuff", but was too tired/lazy to research!

Merci, mon ami!

[Wwcd]

14. Lol. No problem my friend

Its getting crazy isn't it

[Leghorn21]

20. Cray af!! So I looked again and this is what I was ever so dimly recalling:

May 4, 2017
....snip.....(my emphasis)

Mark A. Brown, a casino industry veteran who before Saipan worked at properties in Cambodia, Macau and Las Vegas, got his start as a protégé in Mr. Trump’s Atlantic City casinos, eventually rising to the position of chief executive of Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts.

“‘Trump protégé’ makes for a good story,” Mr. Brown said in an email. But, he added, “the facts are we have many prominent individuals on our board of directors.”

They include R. James Woolsey, a former C.I.A. director who sits on the board. An advisory committee announced by the company last year to provide strategic and tactical advice on its business and government relations included Louis Freeh, a former F.B.I. director, and Ed Rendell, a former governor of Pennsylvania.

American prosecutors have charged a number of individuals connected to two Chinese contractors with illegally harboring and employing immigrant workers in Saipan. Among them, the F.B.I. said, were agents for MCC International Saipan, a local affiliate of a big state-run contractor, China Metallurgical Group; and for another mainland company, Nanjing Beilida New Material System Engineering. Representatives of both Chinese companies declined to comment on Thursday.

- - Woolsey is one DIRTY DOG, W

Hang tough, thanks again-

[Duppers]

41. Wow. Thanks for that info.

[FM123]

8. Connect those dots, Rachel!!!

[OnDoutside]

11. Anything touching Trump is turning out to be dirty.

[Wwcd]

16. Thing is, all this dirty play has already happened. We're only now finding out about it.

Those ffers knew about all this criminal bull crap they were doing, when we were still sitting with our jaws on the floor.

[raven mad]

22. Hope is a fluttering in the snow...........

[BigmanPigman]

24. I think this chart connecting everyone

involved needs more arrows and space since this is growing and growing ....

[mucifer]

27. And yet MSM keeps quoting sarah sanders attacking Mueller toting the white house line with

no rebuttal from our side.

[George II]

30. That's simply not true. Have you been watching CNN and MSNBC ("MSM") tonight?

[mucifer]

33. That was this afternoon "AP radio news" top of the hour

[George II]

35. Anderson Cooper for two hours tonight, Don Lemon for two hours tonight, Chris Hayes....

...for an hour and Rachel Maddow for an hour (didn't watch Lawrence O'Donnell)

"MSM" has been on the case all night tonight. That's not a "rebuttal from our side"?

[ehrnst]

43. Who is "our side" that needed to be "rebutting?"

Can you give some names?

[Demonaut]

28. Woolsey is a democrat

[coolsandy]

31. Did he say that? Woolsey served in Clinton's admin. but also worked for Trump's campaign.

[Demonaut]

36. it's in wiki

[JI7]

37. Woolsey is a Neocon which could include some democrats . neocons are often liberal on many issues

the differnece is in their support for intervention and use of military power around the world.

but on things from health care, gay rights they often lean liberal.

[PDittie]

42. And was a Trump adviser only briefly
