The Democrats made up and pushed the Russian story as an excuse for running a terrible campaign. Big advantage in Electoral College & lost!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 20, 2017
The real story that Congress, the FBI and all others should be looking into is the leaking of Classified information. Must find leaker now!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 20, 2017

ReplyDeleteThings just got real. Very real.
AWRITE AWRITE AWRIIIIITE!
DeleteThanks for this, Uncle G! THANK YOU!!!!
Smoking gun, order up!
Me and the hubs will break that "no news during dinner" rule tonight, I'll bet.
Lol. We'll see.
DeleteBut your over the top drama sure is amusing.
As Churchill said, "This may not be the end, or even the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning." This is our generation's Watergate 2.0 - promising to be even bigger, with treason committed by a whole cabal an outcome.
DeleteAbout f**king time.
LOL ? @8:53 There is nothing remotely "funny" about the treasonous actions taken by Trump and his corrupt cronies. Go back to your bottle, Lou.
DeleteWell 9:40 there has been plenty of drawn out speculation and storytelling from the left wing blogs running with this story line over the last several months. And so far that is all is is, a bunch of rehashed speculation and left wing wishing, hoping, echo chamber chattering. Still lacking actual evidence or proof.
Delete@10:22
DeleteThat's why they're having an i-n-v-e-s-t-i-g-a-t-i-o-n, to ascertain if there is any concrete proof of collusion.
Check out Keith Olbermann's The Resistance.
DeleteHe thinks Trump should flee the country while the getting is good.
Trump will never give up Trump Tower and Mar-A Largo.
But he should be offshoring as much money as possible as a back up in case he does have to flee.
Now who do you think would take him in an harbor him from extradition? UAE? Qatar?
basically jobless Olberman, probably jobless Bill Palmer (a nobody that put report behind his name- but someone here sure loves him), and that loony chick from England and her tweets.... lol. Good luck folks.
Deletetrump's sphincter is going to slam shut so much, we will see the shit stream out of his ears, let alone his fuckin' trap! Those who are complicit in this treasonous deception are shitting in fear right now!! GOOD!!!
ReplyDeleteOR his bowels will run like water from the fear of eminent public disclosure......
DeleteComey just said, on the record, that the Obama Administration did NOT wiretap Trump's phones.
ReplyDeleteThis is a bad day indeed for Donald Trump.
I wish you could see the grin on my face!
DeleteThe worm has turned.
DeleteHe so regrets that announcement about Hillary and is desperately trying to save himself by turning on Trump.
He probably hopes when the dust settles he'll still have his job, or at least avoid prison.
I'm torn between whether I want his twitter taken away from him or delight in his daily affirmations that he is indeed a dumbass.
ReplyDeleteRep. Adam Schiff is clearly the MVP of this hearing today.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely!!
DeleteHe is a coward! Will he go back to Mar-A-Loco so he can hide? Or just shut the White House down so those pesky lying fake newsers can't get to him?
ReplyDeleteSomebody grab this fat slob pussy and drag him out to face the American people. It's past time for little Donnie boy to be responsible for his own ridiculous behavior.
Hey! Trey G.
ReplyDeleteYour head is on upside down.
Trey Gowdy is fishing for an opening.
ReplyDeleteISWYDT...
DeleteDoes anybody else hear the sounds of wings flapping?
ReplyDeleteI just saw some chickens coming home to roost.
The Deliverance banjos are playing.
ReplyDeleteI don't get the connection.
Delete@751
DeleteMaybe it's referring to Gowdy's face (& intellect)?
He has always looked a little inbred to me.
@8:38 aka PECKERWOOD
DeleteTrump has been proven to be a mass liar! I knew there was a reason I've never supported the jerk! He assuredly does not represent me as potus and nor does he as to the majority of Americans across the country. He should be tried for treason and jailed for the rest of his deplorable years.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing in the next few months, Trump will (try) to take his ball and go home - that is, he will resign a POTUS spouting "it's all a set up" and try to retreat to Mar A Lago, but will end up being dragged before court on numerous serious charges. And the repubs will pile on him to distract from their own collusion. This will all get fast tracked before Trump et al gets us into a war in Asia. Should be an interesting summer.
ReplyDeleteThat;s what DiFi basically said he was going to do....
Deletehttp://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/watch-adam-schiff-masterfully-connects-the-dots-between-trump-and-russia-and-its-damning/
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes!! Will Trump shut his trap now? Or blame Hillary, Obama, leakers, liberals, etc? Will this put a damper on the Grouch hearings? I mean, how can we approve someone for a lifetime post who also has Russian/Trump connections? And who hates women and kids and the poor as well? BLOCK GORSUCH. LOCK UP TRUMP and his gang of thieves.
DeleteComey Hearing Begins With A Bang As Adam Schiff Asks If Russia/Trump Collusion Was A Coincidence
Delete...Schiff laid out all of the important “coincidences” involved in the Trump campaign’s relationship with Russia. He asked, “Is it possible that all of these events and reports are completely unrelated and nothing more than an entirely unhappy coincidence? Yes. It is possible, but it is also possible, maybe more than possible, that they are not coincidental, not disconnected, and not unrelated, and the Russians used the same techniques to corrupt US persons that they employed in Europe and elsewhere. We simply don’t know, and we owe it to the country to find out.”

Delete"There's no such thing as a coincidence."
COMEY"“As you know, our practice is not to confirm the existence of ongoing investigations, especially those investigations that involve classified matters,” Comey said Monday. “But in unusual circumstances, where it is in the public interest, it may be appropriate to do so. This IS ONE of those circumstances.”
ReplyDelete"This just made Trump's sphincter slam shut."
ReplyDelete----------------------
Please spare us from any visualization of trump's sphincter doing anything.
It's bad enough having to see that puckered mouth of his.
Listening to the congressional hearings, I don't see Comey being forthcoming at all. IMO, he is most likely complicit in what happened.
ReplyDeleteHe can't say very much because it is an investigation.
DeleteCongressman Adam Schiff points to the Trump-Russia coverup being worse than the crime
ReplyDelete...Appearing on Chuck Todd’s NBC show Meet The Press on Sunday morning, Congressman Schiff stated the following about Donald Trump and his campaign’s involvement with Russia during the campaign: “There is circumstantial evidence of collusion. There is direct evidence, I think, of deception. And that’s where we begin the investigation.” He went on to explain that there is a certain threshold of evidence necessary to “bring to a grand jury for purposes of a criminal indictment.”
That last part is not a strategy that Congress can legally use against a sitting President, so it was a clear reference to one or more of Donald Trump’s campaign co-conspirators on Russia. At this point there are too many names to choose from to be able to accurately guess whom Schiff might have been referring to with regard to potential criminal indictments. Roger Stone? Carter Page? J.D. Gordon? Jeff Sessions? Paul Manafort? Michael Flynn? Take your pick. But the real key here is Schiff’s emphasis on the “direct evidence of deception” being stronger than the evidence of collusion.

My guess is that Flynn will eventually sing like a canary. Wait and see if Flynn won't be to Trump what John Dean was to Nixon. And of course, Flynn will want immunity from prosecution for that canary song.
DeleteThat's a "tweet" I'd love to see.
DeleteWhoever sings first gets the sweetheart deal.
DeleteThey are going to be falling all over themselves to be first as soon as they sense it's all over.
Not quite yet. But the writing is on the wall.
Heading into Russia hearings, Donald Trump’s approval rating sinks
ReplyDelete...So it’s a big deal that Donald Trump’s Gallup approval rating has bottomed out today at 37%, just as the first Trump-Russia hearings are getting underway. If the broader attention brought to his Russia scandal serves to drive his approval rating another eight points lower, he’ll be in the twenties. At that point he’ll have no allies in government left, because no one from either party is willing to stand next to a president who’s that radioactive.

House Intel Committee’s Jackie Speier: multiple cabinet members involved in Trump-Russia scandal
ReplyDelete“This is as big if not bigger than Watergate,” said Jackie Speier during an interview with MSNBC today, and she’s in a position to know. The Democratic Congresswoman sits on the House Intelligence Committee, whose hearings on Donald Trump and Russia get underway tomorrow, and she’s seen evidence the public hasn’t. In fact she appears to have just revealed a piece of the puzzle that wasn’t previously publicly known.
Speier pointed out that the two principals on her committee, chair Devin Nunes and ranking member Adam Schiff, currently have access to more classified information on Trump-Russia than she does. But even based on what she’s seen so far, she stated the following: “There is circumstantial evidence of an entire web that Putin put in place ensnaring many of the people who now have very respected positions within the U.S. cabinet.” And that sets off all the alarms.

New York Attorney General Steps Up Scrutiny of White House
ReplyDeleteEric Schneiderman hires a public-corruption prosecutor to target the Trump administration
New York Attorney General hires Preet Bharara’s sidekick to go after Donald Trump
...And now that Trump’s self-interested firing of U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara has apparently freed up one of Bharara’s top prosecutors, Howard Master, it turns out Schneiderman has promptly hired Master. But it’s not merely a symbolic stab at Trump, because Master will be specifically targeting Trump’s ongoing financial crimes.
Because Donald Trump still technically lives at Trump Tower in New York and he’s registered the bulk of his businesses in the state, it means that Trump’s largely fraudulent financial empire remains under the jurisdiction of the New York Attorney General’s office – which can continue investigating and prosecuting him even though he now holds the title of president.

DeleteComey Testimony Suggests Trump May Have Committed Impeachable Offense With Obama Wiretap Claim
ReplyDelete...FBI Director James Comey completely wiped out President Trump’s claim that Obama wiretapped him. Comey said that the FBI has no evidence that Trump was ever wiretapped, and that it is impossible for presidents to order surveillance. Comey took apart every element of the Trump conspiracy.
The fact that the FBI Director has testified that the President Of The United States lied about a US intelligence operation is a potentially impeachable offense. Smearing Obama with libel was horrible, but Donald Trump, as Commander-In-Chief promoted a lie about the government that he is supposed to be leading.
http://www.politicususa.com/2017/03/20/comey-testimony-suggests-trump-committed-impeachable-offense-false-obama-wiretap-claim.html
Director James Comey just confirmed for the first time during a House intelligence committee hearing on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election that the FBI is investigating Russia's interference in the 2016 election, as well as possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Comey testified that the investigation has been going on since last July.
http://www.politicususa.com/2017/03/20/fbi-confirms-investigation-trump-connections-russian-interference-election.html
“With respect to the president’s tweets about alleged wiretapping directed at him by the prior administration, I have no information that supports those tweets, and we have looked carefully inside the FBI,” Comey said. “The Department of Justice has asked me to share with you that the answer is the same for the Department of Justice and all its components, the department has no information that supports those tweets.”
ReplyDeletehttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/james-comey-fbi-trump-wiretap_us_58cc476ce4b0be71dcf4d3d6?
“I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election,” Comey told the House Intelligence Committee. “That includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia’s efforts.”

Delete“If US campaign aides helped the Russians, knew about the Russians plans, or asked the Russians to intervene in any way, they should be prosecuted for treason and measures should be put in place to make sure this never happens again.”
ReplyDeleteMook said those alleged activities should be punished to the fullest extent, if they are proven true.
“If we allow this practice to continue, Russia and other foreign nations could have a dangerously powerful influence on our legislative and executive branches,” he said. “We complain all the time about the influence of super PACs and campaign donations in our politics, which are real, because they punish officials who act contrary to their interests. Now, foreign powers are attempting to gain a similar influence and they must be stopped.”

I was just talking to a friend about this and he is a few years older than me and says he remembers Watergate vividly. He said the Watergate investigation took two years. I was too young to remember that but it sure put everything in context.
