Did anyone else watch Rachel

[triron]

tonite? She was on fire.
Suggested Flynn should be fired. But hinted at a hell of a lot more.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

1. Flynn and treason.

Good show tonight. I hadn't heard about the dam in CA.

[FightingIrish]

2. That was frightening and hopeful at the same time

We could be seeing the beginning of the end.

[longship]

3. I listen to her every night via her audio podcast.

It's the whole program, but no video. Posted some time late, after she finishes. Only 10MB download, which is nice when ones downloads are limited.

Point your podcast aggregator towards "Rachel Maddow" and subscribe to the audio version.

R&

[rogue emissary]

4. Hate that this came out on Friday.

The stories were written mid week, but only Rachel had the guts to get to the heart of the reports.

Don't miss AM Joy cause I think she will continue reporting on Flynn's lies and the lies of Donny admin.

[MFM008]

5. I was reading between those lines

Traitor.

[triron]

7. I think it's traitors

as in more than one.

[grantcart]

6. all I could think of during the dam analogy was

Drip drip drip

[CanonRay]

8. Indict Flynn. He rolls on 45. Game over

Excert then we have a religious fanatic who is also dumber than dirt as President

[triron]

13. I'm betting Pence in on it too.

[CanonRay]

15. Pence is too stupid to be trusted

[pablo_marmol]

42. With you on that. NT

[Connie_Corleone]

9. She came out and said it

I was like 'You go, girl!' I need to hear more people on TV and print saying it too.

[Ilsa]

10. Yeah. And multiple sources are leaking.

And now a Democratic senator has called for an fbi briefing.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

11. The big revelation here

Is that Flynn was in touch with the Russians before the election on a regular basis

[triron]

14. Along with other Trumpkins I'm betting. Remember Alfa bank?

[notdarkyet]

28. Went right to Russia when he got booted. That's what I've read anyway.

[AngryAmish]

12. No. Wrestling is on Mondays.

[triron]

16. kick for visibility

[Hekate]

17. What did they know and when did they know it? Not even Nixon committed treason.

Gods help us all.

[triron]

19. knr

[Elwood P Dowd]

21. Oh yes he did.

He was messing with the Vietnam peace talks during the 1968 election. LBJ was livid and should have called him out on it publicly, but he only shared the info with certain members of the Senate.

[Hekate]

23. Ah, there you have it. smh

[Elwood P Dowd]

25. I think there is a tape of LBJ calling Senator Everett Dirksen (R) where he calls it treason.

You might find it somewhere, maybe YouTube.

[90-percent]

41. Heard it on Thom

LBJ - Now Everett, you know this is treason.
Dirkson - Yes......I know......

About Nixon negotiating directly with the enemy

Thom also points out that the last legitimately elected Republican President was Eisenhower.

He's played the clip a lot.

-90% Jimmy

[Glamrock]

43. And Dirksen agreed.

I've heard it on Them Hartman's show a few times.

[Cha]

18. Somebody tweeted if flynn still had a job

today we will know blotus sides with Russia.

[Greybnk48]

20. I hope this blossoms into a conspiracy

that includes several key people colluding with the Russians during the campaign.

I feel this is actually what happened, albeit based on very little evidence on my part, just a hunch. Toward the end Trump seemed to know he was going to win, even though the odds in a fair match were stacked against him.

[triron]

24. I also feel very strongly this way.

There is quite a bit of 'evidence' actually.
!) Divergence from pre-election polling predictions.
2) incongruity with betting (and some other institutional) predictions
3) Statements made by Giuliani just before the election
4) Evidence of hacking already emerging before the election
5) Extremely improbable deviation from exit polling predictions
5b) Early vote trends heavily favoring Clinton in important swing states
6) DU being hacked and going down election day
7) Trump's incongruous pre-election confidence and campaign behavior
8) Scientists and computer experts concerns over vote count results in some states


caveat: Probably missed some things

[Greybnk48]

39. Exactly. Here in Wisconsin, they allowed a recount

but in the counties with hinky numbers, the clerks refused to allow hand counts. Machine counts only, when we were looking for machine vote flipping. None of the tabulating machines were examined either. Everyone just shut up and moved on. We're getting used to rigged elections of one stripe or another here in Wisconsin.

Man I want to see these people go down hard. Especially in light of the ICE raids we're now hearing about.

[oasis]

22. Lt. Gen. Flynn: They got the goods on his traitorous ass.

[Grammy23]

26. Whatcha wanna bet that the tapes of those phone calls contain a lot of the

Evidence to nail all of their asses. Starting at the top. They know the contact took place throughout the campaign---well before Election Day 2016. Up to that point things looked good for Hillary and even tRump began to hint at a loss for himself. Then things changed. All of it fell apart on election night. And they told us that more than a dozen polls were wrong. I called BS that night but they stuck to that story---even though it does not make sense that all those professional pollsters would be wrong.

Now we are learning more details about a Russian involvement in our election. At first it was hacking. Now there are strong hints that it went far beyond hacking. Flynn is in it up to his eyeballs. But who else? If the news media stay on this and don't let it fade away or get swept under a rug, there is potential for a constitutional crisis like we've never see . What if most of the people around tRump are involved? What about his cabinet? His staff? tRump himself?

Stay tuned and pop some corn.....our nation may be saved if the right people step up and do the right thing. I am not counting on the Republicans to be among them, but you never know. If the heat gets hot enough, who knows who will start to crack??

[notdarkyet]

29. That and the dossier. They (the FBI) said they have confirmed parts of it are true

With other sources.

[oasis]

31. I think they're sharp enough to drop the net before the Trump cabal

gets their wagons completely circled.

Then, let the shitstorm begin.

[elmac]

27. no, I still haven't gotten over her swooning over Conway. nt

[triron]

30. I really like Rachel but that bugged me a great deal.

Perhaps she had a crush on Conway?

[Grammy23]

32. Maybe she was trying to smooth the way for future interviews?

Or even lay the ground work for others in the administration to be on her show? I did think she was spreading things on a bit thick.

[trueblue2007]

33. Did Flynn and others in Rump administration commit Espionage and treason?

??????

Effective‎: ‎June 15, 1917
Enacted by‎: ‎the 65th United States Congress

[unc70]

35. Would be easier to convict on other charges

That is what the congressman told Rachel tonight.

Espionage and treason require high levels of proof.

[triron]

36. Rachel said the word.

[unc70]

34. Assume not just telephone calls are recorded

We know that the telephone calls have been recorded. We should assume that any other conversations have been recorded as well. We might be reluctant to reveal just how much and how this was done, but there are few secrets at this level, fewer when dealing with people like this.

Wonder how the spies arrested and killed in Russia fit into this puzzle?

[triron]

37. Good question! I recall Rachel discussing that as well this week.

Sharp cookie.

[BigBearJohn]

38. Sounds to me like the dam is breaking... look out below!

[BigBearJohn]

40. VIDEO -- All I can say is WOWWWW
