Julian Castro tweet, a few minutes ago:

The #WhistleblowerComplaint has exposed a criminal effort to extort political dirtywork from a foreign government, and a massive cover-up orchestrated by the White House.

It’s increasingly clear that Trump is not only unfit for office—he’s an active national security threat.

[monmouth4]

1. And, a criminal. n/t

[Nitram]

5. I think that was covered under "The #WhistleblowerComplaint has exposed a criminal effort."

[Pepsidog]

2. I'm starting to despise Nunes more than most. Somebody got to get the goods on this guy.

6. "I think he's been compromised ...."

Devin Nunes, his Website, and a Trojan Horse
Jan 28, 2018 · 5 min read

The story of how Devin Nunes and other GOP candidates may have been compromised.

In May of 2017 vulnerabilities were discovered on one of Devin Nunes’ campaign websites. The campaign website devinnunes.net had apparently been infected with a virus that caused some internal pages to be indexed by Google, in Russian.

Read it here:

“I can’t speak to his motives," Swalwell said. "I think he’s been compromised by the White House. He certainly seems to be willing to risk the republic to protect the president, to risk the rule of law to help the president’s case in the Russian investigation."

From here.

11. Thanks for the link. About a year ago Esquire Magazine did a piece on him that was revealing.

[olegramps]

7. I despised him from the beginning with his secret midnight trips to the White House.

He is the scum of scumbags. A filthy creature licking the boots of one, if not the most corrupt men to ever sit in the presidency.

[Pepsidog]

10. Google Esquire Magazine article about Nunes and his family farm. He reeking in corruption.

[Alwaysna]

22. If investigators beat him with a wet noodle I'm certain he'll talk. N/t

3. Trump has been a clear and present danger since day one

[SCVDem]

4. When tRump is really cornered,

He will spout all the names.

Look what he did to Pence yesterday!

Secret server? Lock them up!

What say the tRumpets?

There is a true equivalency. But, IOKIYAR.

[panfluteman]

8. Trump also has absolutely nothing substantive to run on.

He's totally bankrupt of any positive ideas for how to take our country forward. The bubbles have long since burst, revealing the empty, pie in the sky promises he made to gullible voters in 2016 to have been total lies.

[joost5]

17. He's got 2 illegitimate Supreme Court justices and perhaps 2 more to install

...those are 4 reasons why 76% of Americans personally dislike Trump but has a 44% Job approval rating. Rs want to pack the courts for a generation and will look their hypocritical eyes away from the Trumpster fire to that end.

And Dems need to rethink we're safe from Agent Orange getting re-elected in 2020.

[hot2na]

9. More of this.

This is a sky is on fire moment for our democracy. The rhetoric that our leaders use should match the peril that we are in. The President, White House and Republican party, supported by and from a massive propaganda machine are trying to spin this as no big deal. The propaganda machine is not distinguishable from the white House, Republican party, they are all merged into one.

Republicans feel they have no choice to get on the bandwagon because the fraudulent worldview that they have been fed, since 1994 when Fox news cam into existence, is about to go bust. Now is the time that they go running to their media masters and conspiracy theorists for them to tell them it isn't so. That is what is happening.

12. I think it was when Castro was questioning Maguire

Castro asked if he thought relying on a foreign country to win an election is wrong, Maguire said it was. Then Castro asked if seeking (or asking for) the support of a foreign govt to win an election was wrong. Maguire danced all around that question & tried very hard not to say it was wrong!

So if it's bad to accept that support, why would it also not be bad to ask for that support?

14. That's Julian's brother Joaquin who's on the intel committee:

18. Wow.. Good for

Castro's tweet getting a whole lot of RECS!

Mahalo, highplainsdem! :gropuhug:

[McCamy Taylor]

19. Indeed. He needs to be stripped of his security clearance.

Otherwise he will start selling nukes to Saudi Arabia and US military secrets to Russia.

[Ferrets are Cool]

20. And a traitor. nt

[tclambert]

21. Can anyone revoke the President's security clearance?

[NCLefty]

24. I don't think so. It was generally understood that you don't elect criminals previously...

[NCLefty]

23. Yes: Election Security IS National Security.

Trump is a clear-and-present danger to America's national security.
