Rachel Maddow did an incredible job of explaining the bombshells contained in the testimony of Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson before the House Intelligence Committee.

Here are a few more highlights from other news outlets.

Courtesy of HuffPo: 

Glenn Simpson, co-founder of the firm behind the infamous dossier on President Donald Trump’s potential connections to Russia, told Congress that he believes the Russian government has “infiltrated” the National Rifle Association. 

“It appears the Russians, you know, infiltrated the NRA,” Fusion GPS co-founder Simpson said while testifying before the House Intelligence Committee on Nov. 14. His testimony was part of a federal investigation into potential links between the Kremlin and Trump’s 2016 campaign associates. 

“And there is more than one explanation for why,” he added. “But I would say, broadly speaking, it appears that the Russian operation was designed to infiltrate conservative organizations. ... They seem to have made a very concerted effort to get in with the NRA.”
It should be noted that I visited Fox News yesterday and they are STILL claiming all of this a Democratic hoax designed to undermine the Trump presidency.

For the anti-Maddow troll that always seems to show up here,  I should warn you that yes Rachel moves her hands a lot, she uses big words that may prove confusing, and yes she is still a lesbian.

    'Like a boss'!: VERY glamorous photos of Ivanka leaving Air Force One have her fans gushing over her future Presidential bid.

      Incest, incest, incest. Sick! God forbid. Hell awaits both of them!

      Is Ivanka still doing it willingly as an adult? Look how Trump touches her in photos - even current ones! Yuk!! Barf! And, he is potus? Way past time to rid ourselves of him.

    "Florida GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz echoed Meadows's sentiments, positing aloud that members of the DOJ would lose their jobs over the memo's details.

    "I believe the consequence of its release will be major changes in people currently working at the FBI and the Department of Justice," he said.

    During his broadcast, Hannity also referenced the Trump-Russia dossier, which he referred to as "fake news," saying the dossier was used to secure surveillance warrants in an attempt to help Hillary Clinton win the presidency.

    "This is an abuse of surveillance and intelligence to win an election," he said. "It is a massive abuse of power, and it was all done by just a few people who think and thought they knew better than you about who should be the president of the United States.""

      " Natasha Bertrand of Business Insider adds that the so-called “Nunes memo” embodies “a level of irresponsible stupidity that I cannot fathom. Purposefully misconstrues facts and leaves out important details.”"In recent weeks, Nunes, Jordan, Gaetz, Hannity, and others have been ceaselessly trying to turn the story surrounding the Trump campaign’s Russia ties into a process story about the origins and nature of the FBI investigation."
      "Jordan and Hannity are harping on FBI’s process as a way to distract from the story surrounding the Trump campaign’s ties with Russia — the actual thing Mueller is investigating. The new effort to create controversy about the FISA memo represents an extension of that effort."
      "Republicans are doing all they can to spread the idea that the memo contains scandalous findings."
      "makes one wonder if Republicans stand to lose more than they would gain from the memo’s public release."

      The NRA is going nowhere. And it never existed 'just for hunting'. The 2nd Amendment mentions nothing of hunting.

      She's a lesbian's idea of an attractive and smart woman though she is neither. Jared Kushner went to Harvard law but he's an idiot. Rachel's PhD doesn't prove a single thing about her intellect.

    Rachel Maddow's hour-long show (Monday through Friday) is the very best and I try never to miss her on cable. She has her doctorate, but doesn't go by Dr. Maddow. She's as down to earth as they come, smart, well educated, honest, well researched as to her subject matter and rarely makes a mistake! If she does say something incorrectly, she always corrects it and apologizes for it. (Rarely have seen her have to do it!).

    I recommend her show to everyone every chance I get. She has put the 'facts' out there about Donald Trump and other journalists are now using her information, but giving her credit (which well they should!).

    She has a great sense of humor too! And, God knows we need that in the world of Trump!

  9. One more thing about that "marriage between Ivanka and Jared largely a business deal"? The Simpson testimony also revealed that the Kushner family are ethnic Russians.

    So there's another reason why Jared and Ivanka married - Trump probably thought Jared had ties that even he, Trump, didn't have with the Russian mafia...er, business leaders he was dealing with.

    If you have not seen "The Post" a new movie with tom hanks and meryl streep and you believe in first amendment and freedom of the press? Go see it. It brought tears to my eyes. The Vietnam war was a fraud. Our brothers died or came back harmed. It pertains to today and what we are facing. It is a must see. And then protest trump and those that are enabling him.

    "“And so I have formed my own opinions that there was a somewhat unacknowledged relationship between the Trump people and the UKIP people and that the path to WikiLeaks ran through that,” Simpson said. “And I still think that today.”"
