For two decades, Representative Dana Rohrabacher has been of value to the Kremlin, so valuable in recent years that the F.B.I. warned him in 2012 that Russia regarded him as an intelligence source worthy of a Kremlin code name.
The following year, the California Republican became even more valuable, assuming the chairmanship of the Foreign Affairs subcommittee that oversees Russia policy. He sailed to re-election again and again, even as he developed ties to Vladimir V. Putin’s Russia.
Then came President Trump.
As revelations of Russia’s campaign to influence American politics consume Washington, Mr. Rohrabacher, 70, who had no known role in the Trump election campaign, has come under political and investigative scrutiny. The F.B.I. and the Senate Intelligence Committee are each seeking to interview him about an August meeting with Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, Mr. Rohrabacher said. The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, is said to be interested in a meeting he had last year with Michael T. Flynn, Mr. Trump’s short-lived national security adviser.
At the same time, fellow Republicans — questioning his judgment and intentions — have moved to curtail his power as chairman of the Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia and Emerging Threats. And back home in Southern California, where Democrats and Republicans alike smell blood, the 15-term congressman is facing his toughest re-election contest in decades, with well-funded candidates from both parties lining up to unseat him.
Yeah I have a code name in mind for Congressman "There is no Global Warming it's snowing outside" Rohrabacher.
"Traitor."
Oh wait, is that one already assigned to Donald Trump?
I hope like hell this motherfucker is defeated at the next election. Our national security depends on that ( as well as getting rid of Colonel Bonespurs).
ReplyDelete60 whales of the coast of California died this year because their food was gone. a big herd of wonderful animals died because global climate change is a "myth" . maybe we should forget russia for a minute and think about the republicans killing some of the most endangered animals on the planet just because they want fossil fuel. the last black rhino died this year, too. the republicans have to, go, NOW. the planet can't wait. it may already be too late.
ReplyDeleteIt is too late. The Larson ice shelf broke off Antarctica last year and when that ice melts the coast of Florida will change. The sixth great extinction has already started. The earth is estimated to be uninhabitable in 600 yrs. we’re cooked.
DeleteIf humans go extinct the earth will slowly recover. It will be just a matter of how many other species we take with us when we become extinct.
DeleteHumans are a parasite on the Earth. We're killing our host.
i am fine with our extinction. it is the secret behind evolution. first the Cambranian. the rise of backbones-then snowball earth. 90% of all species went extinct. the rise of fish. the mammal-like reptiles went-so the dinasaurs could be the most sucessful animals ever. their loss brought the age of birds, and finally mammals and homminds. and us. the worst ever species. the Native Americans lived with nature. we kill endangered animals because it's fun! they skin baby seals alive for their fur. you think i'm pissed?you don't know the half of it. and the Vulkans are NOT coming to save us. my biggest fear is we dirty up the Earth to the point only roaches will be able to survive. sorry about the spelling. paleontology is my favourite subject-but is hard spelling.
DeleteThis right out of a John Le Carre novel.
ReplyDeleteTrumps code name is smuck.
ReplyDeleteIf the FBI and congress knows this rep is giving info to putin how come they have allowed him to stay in office?
Better to sell out your country than lose one vote in the house?
I thought it was shitgibbon
DeleteThey showed photos of Melanoma checking out the Christmas decorations in the white house wearing her coat over her shoulders.
ReplyDeleteIs she getting free clothes or kick backs for promoting foreign designers?
She thinks she's still modeling clothes for glossy mags. I guess she figures being First Lady is the bump to her modeling career she never got.
Delete@4:19 you are funny,she never had on any clothes in any of her "modeling" photos.
DeleteThis must be a change for her,actually wearing something.

DeleteWe can just number them. T.Rump is Traitor 1. Djt jr is Traitor 1a. Ivaaaaaahnka is Traitor 1.b. someone like Rohrbacjer is @ c(for congresscritter) 10.
ReplyDeleteSomeone posted an article on a previous posting that the KGB was grooming trump back when he was married to Ivana. whose father was in the communist party in Czechoslovakia
ReplyDeleteCould that also be the job of melanoma' father,who lives in trump tower.
I wonder if the KGB arranged for the Donald to meet melanoma.
Anony 3:10 Are you talking about Melanoma's coat that looks like material from grandma's couch? I'm talking about the jacket she wore when she left the White House with Barron on their way to Florida?
ReplyDeleteWho in the hell told Melanoma she looks great in that rag?
By the way, Barron blink if you, forget it. Don't blink.
No they showed photos of her holding Christmas ornaments by a tree.wasn't the carpetbag coat,but worn in same style.the anchor made some comment about wearing a coat indoors,don't they heat in the white house
DeleteFlynn may be starting to flip.
ReplyDelete"President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, may be moving to cooperate with the special counsel investigating ties between the Trump campaign and efforts by Russia to meddle in the 2016 presidential election, The New York Times reported Thursday.
Lawyers for Flynn have reportedly stopped sharing information about special counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing probe with the White House, a move the Times notes could signal Flynn’s cooperation with the investigation or that he is in the process of negotiating some sort of legal deal. Flynn’s lawyers had been cooperating with Trump’s legal team, as defense teams often do, but recently notified the White House they could no longer discuss the investigation.
Such a move isn’t a definite sign Flynn is negotiating some sort of agreement. The Times report was based on information from four people familiar with the case, whose identities could not be revealed as they aren’t authorized to speak publicly."

D.R. has always sucked, always will. It is time he goes.
ReplyDelete"It is unethical for lawyers to work together when one client is cooperating with prosecutors and another is still under investigation."
