Republican Sen. Roy Blunt, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, on Tuesday called for an exhaustive investigation into connections between President Donald Trump and Russia and said the Intelligence Committee should immediately speak with former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.
Flynn resigned Monday evening amid revelations that he misled Vice President Mike Pence about conversations he had in December with Russia's ambassador to the US about sanctions placed on Russia. Pence had defended Flynn on television and denied he discussed sanctions after initial reports of the conversations.
"I think everybody needs that investigation to happen," Blunt said on KTRS radio. "And the Senate Intelligence Committee, again that I serve on, has been given the principle responsibility to look into this, and I think that we should look into it exhaustively so that at the end of this process, nobody wonders whether there was a stone left unturned, and shouldn't reach conclusions before you have the information that you need to have to make those conclusions."
"But the Senate Intelligence Committee is looking at this," he continued. "I would think that we should talk to Gen. Flynn very soon and that should answer a lot of questions. What did he know? What did he do? And is there any reason to believe that anybody knew that and didn't take the kind of action they should have taken?"
Somebody asked me awhile back if I thought there was any chance that the Republicans would support an investigation Trump's ties to Russia, and the Russian hacking of our election.
My answer was that they would probably not do anything until not doing anything endangered their chances for reelection, which is really their motivating force for most of what they do.
Apparently we are getting to that place now.
Look for other Republicans to start jumping aboard this train as well in the coming days and weeks.
And let's face it, they already have a lot to work with already.
Though according to a Russian news outlet there is nothing to see here so everybody just needs to move along.The notion that Flynn DIDN'T make these phone calls at DT's behest is laughable. Flynn leads directly to DT. pic.twitter.com/OBGXlommHx— Free bird (@TearsInHeaven09) February 14, 2017

The Kremlin spokesman said Moscow and Washington had not broached the issue of lifting anti-Russia sanctions.
According to the Washington Post several Russian lawmakers rushed to defend the Trump administration:
Leading Russian lawmakers rushed to defend President Trump’s former national security adviser Tuesday after he resigned amid furor over his misleading statements to senior White House officials, including Vice President Pence, about his contacts with Russia.
The heads of the foreign-affairs committees in Russia’s upper and lower houses of parliament chalked up Michael Flynn’s resignation to a dark campaign of Russophobia in Washington, and said it would undermine relations between the White House and the Kremlin.
Oh, well there you go then.
Boy the Russians must REALLY think that the American people are gullible idiots.
Oh wait, they already KNOW they are because they easily manipulated them into putting Donald Trump into the White House.
I almost forgot.
Expect unfortunate dirt to be dug up on Blunt and exposed. It serves no members of Congress to "go rogue" right now, they will be the ones that end up getting hurt in the end.

Delete“Everybody makes mistakes,”k. Con
However, right now I want to examine what all of this Flynn business says about Trump’s most famous “counselor,” Kellyanne Conway.
DeleteIn short, I believe we now know that she is largely a fraud.
What I mean by this is that I no longer believe that she is truly in Trump’s most inner circle of advisors, nor do I think she is in the loop on all the most critical decision-making. I have long suspected this to be the case for two basic reasons. First, she spends way too much time on television to possibly be involved in everything going on at the true center of power (her scattershot appearance with Anderson Cooper regarding the “Russian Dossier” was the first clear sign to me she was out of the loop). Secondly, she brags way too much about her access to the president and how important she really is.
Anyone who understands basic human nature realizes that when people brag in general it is usually a sign of tremendous insecurity. Really rich guys don’t need to tell you how wealthy they are (thus eliminating Donald Trump). Guys who talk a lot about sexual exploits are likely inadequate in that area. And people who desperately want you to know that they are very significant figures are probably running a scam.
I have always been struck by Conway’s remarkable insecurity and desperate need for attention. It seems that this quality in her was the inspiration for SNL’s “Fatal Attraction” skit on her from this Saturday. As with most frauds, if you put them under pressure and keep close enough watch, the truth will eventually come out. It seems that this is exactly what has happened with Conway over the past couple of days.

Russian 'Lawmakers' Howl At Loss Of Their Pal Flynn; Putin Tells Them to Shut Up.
DeleteThe reaction of so-called Russian “lawmakers” to the abrupt resignation of Trump’s National Security Adviser Michael Flynn may have gotten a little out of control. Speechifying from assorted rubberstampskaya commenced immediately upon the story’s breaking, with each Russian oligarchian tool expressing his outrage and indignation.
...It’s gratifying to see how much the Russian oligarchy cares about the success of our new President, isn’t it? They’re so protective! Or could it be that was just the sound of 500 billion dollars in oil contracts slipping through their fingers?
Well my, what a difference a couple hours makes. From US News and World Report: it appears that cooler heads have prevailed in the Kremlin:

...The real importance of this revelation is this: Don’t let Michael Flynn be the fall man for the administration in this and don’t let Mike Pence play innocent. Even in the unlikely event that they weren’t directly involved in Flynn’s illegal actions, Trump and Pence both knew what Flynn had done for at least a month and still lied to the American people on his behalf.
Any claim of anger for being deceived on the part of Mike Pence is simply more lies. He was informed of this long before the press made the story public. The real question for them is why are the president and vice-president both lying to protect Russian interference in our sovereignty?

Gen. Tony Thomas, head of the military’s Special Operations Command, expressed concern about upheaval inside the White House.
“Our government continues to be in unbelievable turmoil. I hope they sort it out soon because we’re a nation at war,” he said at a military conference on Tuesday. Asked about his comments later, General Thomas said in a brief interview, “As a commander, I’m concerned our government be as stable as possible.”
At least someone is concerned about Donald Trump’s mental instability insidiously infecting the entire U.S. government. Meanwhile, most Congressional Republicans are doing everything possible to look the other way.

There is no way that Flynn was doing anything that was, in any way, a surprise to Donald Trump. Trump was not out of the loop.
The question is not whether there was a bad connection between Flynn and Trump. Who cares?
The question, rather, is — how much of a connection is there between Trump and Putin? What is the nature of that connection? I don’t think we have much of a question about who is the dominant partner. The question lies in the nature of Putin’s dominance over Trump — — debt? blackmail? simple adulation? These questions deserve investigation.
About the phone call to the Russian Ambassador? There is NO WAY that Trump did not know what Flynn was doing.

Alaska’s Pebble Mine: Investment Firm Says Northern Dynasty is “Worthless”
ReplyDeleteYet, Northern Dynasty, the Canadian junior mining company behind the project, continues to promote the mine to investors amid speculation that the Trump Administration may view it more favorably.
Today, the company’s stock took a deep dive after a New York investment firm released a report claiming that the Pebble Mine isn’t commercially viable, stating that: “All this enthusiasm is misplaced. We believe Northern Dynasty is worthless.”
Their report concluded that:
Northern Dynasty’s key asset, the lowgrade Pebble deposit, is not commercially viable: mining it would require so much upfront investment that it would actually destroy value.
Kerrisdale believes Northern Dynasty’s former partners concluded that the Pebble project had a negative present value — an assessment that Northern Dynasty has spent years trying to conceal from the public.
Not only that, but a law firm has announced an investigation into possible securities fraud violations.
In contrast, the value of the Bristol Bay fishery is proven.

NYT letter: 15 psychiatrists break Goldwater rule warning about Trump’s grave emotional instability
ReplyDeleteAs the news breaks around us and around Trump, this may be threatening to lead the president to a narcissistic rage reaction, mixed with something Trump has never dealt with before: fear.
Few rational people are seriously thinking Flynn would have done this on his own. The talk on TV and in the news is that Trump had to have been in on the phone call with the Russian ambassador. As unstable as the president anything could happen from a rage reaction to a deep depression if his reality testing is intact and he sees impeachment as a real possibility.

Chaffetz Probes White House’s Handling of Sensitive Information
Published: Feb 14, 2017
Letter requests information related to Mar-a-Lago event
WASHINGTON – Today, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) sent a letter to White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus asking for answers relating to widespread reports that sensitive information may have been shared or discussed in a common area at Mar-a-Lago.
The letter states:
“Accounts and photographs from other diners seem to indicate these communications occurred in the presence of other guests. Reportedly, documents were provided by what appeared to be White House staff for the President’s review while the dinner proceeded.
“Discussions with foreign leaders regarding international missile tests, and documents used to support those discussions, are presumptively sensitive.
“While the President is always on duty, and cannot dictate the timing of when he needs to receive sensitive information about urgent matters, we hope the White House will cooperate in providing the Committee with additional information.”

I can't recall the date, but last week everyone was asking if sanctions would be lifted. It seemed almost imminent and TV channels had the scrawl across the screen. Then that lifting idea just died. At first I thought it was b/c of the ban/court topic and I thought Trump's people may have decided that they'd better stay focused, but now it looks like Trump/hus people knew that the Flynn thing was coming to a head and they distanced themselves from all things Russia best they could. I really think that at least some sanctions were going to be lifted.

ReplyDeleteRand Paul Opposes Russia Probe Because Republicans Shouldn’t Investigate Republicans
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to whether the Trump administration has questionable ties to Russia, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul admitted Tuesday that he’s not interested in finding out – even as the controversy surrounding Michael Flynn continues to boil over.
Why? Because it’s not “useful” for Republicans to investigate other Republicans.
The Kentucky senator made the comments in a Fox News radio interview when he was asked about Sen. John McCain’s recent calls for an investigation into the Trump administration’s ties to Moscow.
His remarks:
I think that might be excessive. I think it looks like the President has handled the situation and unless there’s some kind of other evidence of malfeasance, this sounds like something that was internal White House politics and it looks like the President’s handled it. … I just don’t think it’s useful to be doing investigation after investigation, particularly of your own party. We’ll never even get started with doing the things we need to do like repealing Obamacare if we’re spending our whole time having Republicans investigate Republicans. I think it makes no sense.
Besides the fact that Paul essentially admitted that only Democrats should be subject to investigations, there are three things particularly troubling about his comments:
http://www.politicususa.com/2017/02/14/rand-paul-opposes-investigation-trump-administration-republicans.html
Fucking weasel boy!
1. He thinks the President has “handled the situation.”
Delete2. He doesn’t think it’s “useful to be doing investigation after investigation.”
3. Investigating the Trump administration’s ties to Russia is distracting the GOP from repealing Obamacare.
Fucking weasel boy! IS RIGHT!
And he's from Kentucky - a state many of whose residents depend on the ACA/Medicaid. So, maybe, the GOP should leave it intact until they find a better way to provide insurance to all Americans. Perhaps by 2150.
DeleteOn the matter of investigating Trump's Russian connection, It is vital that an honest bipartisan investigation take place because Trump's Russian ties affect the very existence of this country. Is Rand Paul so stupid that he does not understand that? That Trump is on the cusp of selling the US out to Russia is high treason. And the GOP members of Congress, sworn to protect the Constitution and the American people, are just going to let him do it?

Rand Paul SERIOUSLY Just Told Us Those Investigations Into Hillary Were Partisan Witch Hunts
ReplyDelete...Paul’s actual words were:
“I just don’t think it’s useful to be doing investigation after investigation, particularly of your own party.”
Really. It’s a good idea to waste time, effort and money repeatedly investigating Hillary’s emails and her handling of Bengazi, but it’s not worth it to investigate real treason when it means investigating your own party?
Please.
At least he’s finally admitted it. We already saw this with Jason Chaffetz and other Republicans saying they didn’t think they were going to investigate the Trump administration’s ties to Russia, but Paul just put it out there in the open.
Furthermore, it seems he’s suddenly quite interested in doing anything else:
“We’ll never even get started with doing the things we need to do like repealing ObamaCare if we’re spending our whole time having Republicans investigate Republicans. I think it makes no sense.”
But if Flynn and the president were Democrats, it would make all the sense in the world. Paul and others would be screaming “TREASON!” over and over and setting up special independent panels everywhere to get to the bottom of this.

Flynn Doesn't Matter. This Is About Trump
ReplyDelete...Step back for a second and look at this. While certainties are hard to come by, it seems clear that Russia broke into computer networks and selectively released private emails to damage Hillary Clinton and elect Donald Trump. When President Obama took a series of actions to punish the Russian government for this interference, President-Elect Trump's top foreign policy advisor made a series of calls to the Russian government's representative in the United States to ask him to have his government refrain from retaliation and suggested that the punishments could be lifted once the new government was sworn in. Then he lied about the calls both publicly and apparently within the White House. What has gotten lost in this discussion is that these questionable calls were aimed at blunting the punishment meted out for the election interference that helped Donald Trump become President. This is mind-boggling.
Consider another point.
Through the course of the campaign, transition and presidency, three top Trump advisors and staffers have had to resign because of issues tied to Russia. Paul Manafort, Carter Page and now Michael Flynn. Page might arguably be termed a secondary figure. Manafort ran Trump's campaign and Flynn was his top foreign policy advisor for a year. The one common denominator between all these events, all these men is one person: Donald Trump.
As I said above, this has all been happening before our eyes, the train of inexplicable actions, the unaccountable ties and monetary connections, the willful, almost inexplicable need to make the case for Vladimir Putin even when the President knows the suspicion he's under. When I was writing my first post on this topic more than 6 months ago, I had the uncanny feeling of finding what I was writing impossible to believe as I wrote it. And yet, I would go through the list of unexplained occurrences and actions, clear business and political connections, sycophantic support and more and realize there was too much evidence to ignore. It was fantastical and yet in plain sight.
That's where we still are. There is a huge amount we don't know. We don't know the big answers. But to use the language of the criminal law, there's probable cause to have a real investigation. Not a rush to judgment, but an investigation. This has been in front of us for months. It may gratify Democrats as partisans to see an entire political party be suborned by a President under a cloud of doubt. But it is horrible for the country. There is so much smoke that you could choke on it. It's time to find out what Donald Trump's relationship is to Russia, his and his associates' contacts with Russian officials during the campaign, whatever business ties there might be.

ReplyDeleteThree Russian military actions of note in recent days:
Russia secretly launched a cruise missile today that would be capable of threatening NATO's European members. This move breaches its responsibility to the INF arms treaty that keeps it from possessing, producing, or flight-testing a ground-launched cruise missile with range capabilities of 500 to 5000 kilometers.
A Russian spy ship was spotted off the coast of Delaware, this morning, per Fox News. The ship remained in international waters, not in U.S. territory, and similar Russian activity has been detected in years past.
The Pentagon reports Russian aircraft flew within 100 yards above the American destroyer USS Porter in the Black Sea on three separate occasions Friday, per ABC News. (A Russian Defense Ministry spokesman claims there was no such flyby). The Pentagon claims the flybys were "unsafe and unprofessional." This would have taken place the same day that Putin invited Trump to a meeting in Slovenia.
Why it matters: Russia is boasting its military capabilities and asserting itself.

A new Breitbart article reveals much about the war inside the White House
ReplyDeleteWith National Security Adviser Michael Flynn already forced to resign due to scandal, there are rumors of another White House shake-up in the works. Those rumors grow to a roar if you surf to today’s eyebrow-raising Breitbart report by Matthew Boyle, which quotes at least three “sources close to the president” who claim that Chief of Staff Reince Priebus’s future is “in doubt.”
Boyle’s anonymous sources paint a picture in which Priebus’s bumbling is the primary reason for the Trump administration’s rocky start. They portray the chief of staff as in over his head and ineffective at working with Congress. And they claim that the blame for the White House’s botched immigration order rollout should fall primarily on Priebus, because he failed to quickly confirm Jeff Sessions as attorney general and purge enough leaky Obama loyalists from the government.
Mind you, this isn’t just any anonymously sourced report. In the age of Trump, Breitbart’s coverage is being read — rightly or wrongly — as a window into the views of one faction of the administration in particular: the allies of White House chief strategist Steve Bannon.

Question. Why was jill stien in that photo with flynn and putin? Geez, the list of suspects keep getting longer and longer. And Putin seems to be at the head of this. Dr. Evil strikes again. Trump is his mini me.
ReplyDeleteAnd Gryphen predicted it all.
ReplyDeleteTurns out the Sean Spicer SNL impression isn't the only one Trump hates.
ReplyDeleteHe also hates them using the angel of death to be Steve Bannon. Or more specifically, that Bannon is portrayed as being the power behind Trump and pulling his strings.
