He'd resign.
Ryan is a weasel but he is far from the monsters running the show now. I'd prefer him to Pence even - especially since his administration would be ham-stringed by illegitimacy from day one.

Let's wait for more details before we get all excited.
Shit I do, especially if all of these fuckers go down in flames.
But, the audit.

True dat
Names beyond those named in the article? If so, goddamn
I see them on the deck of the titanic, an ice berg looming in the distance, reminding us all how not one drop of water is currently inside the hull.
Don't you all get tired of asking this? As a order pauses his travel ban, and released info causes a staff member to resign and on an on an on? This isn't going away.

Wonder how many Trump supporting senators and congress members will get dragged down with the ship?

Wouldn't he be charged with high treason?
Trump is gonna scale back on the tweeting. He already is.

I think it basically went like this:
Russia: Hey Trump we will make the democrats look bad by hacking their servers and you get to be president.
Trump: and what you will get?
Russia: Be our bitch and also remove the sanctions. You also get to be president because if your hyper inflated ego.
Trump: I will be your orange little bitch! Please go balls deep.
Russia: ok deal
Oh, right, lol I was basing that off of the old successors. My bad.
I thought only Manafort was named?
CNN said NYT has three named officials and are waiting for WH response before they release their identities.
I mean, a major cabinet member resigning because he was caught lying is actually extremely fucking significant in the grand scheme of things.

Its because we're getting leaks of an ongoing investigation. Could still be months before the head of the snake is cut but for now, breadcrumbs for journalists to follow and for public consumption.
And McConnell too. I want to see all Republican leadership burned to the ground.

I doubt it. My impression of Mike Pence is that he's a Hank Hill type character. Ridiculously patriotic and only continuing to defend Trump because he truly can't believe the allegations. And he would have been kept far away from the real corruption.
I imagine if he were ever shown incontrovertible evidence, he'd be truly outraged.

It's hard not to feel this way after... well, numerous rollercoasters. But at least some good news so far is:
1. Flynn is gone, leaving a trail of destruction for this admin
2. Immigration ban from EO has been suspended

GOOD
Motherfucker should be remembered as the fraud he is and the damage he has done.
White House is smart and will never respond. Names never released. Crisis averted.
Damn, officials? Oh God please be Bannon and Miller, please!
National security adviser is not nothing, and Flynn was an especially crazy and dangerous person to have in that job. His removal from the White House is a huge win.
I dunno about that but I sort of feel that Clinton winning would just end up being a Democratic Party bloodbath in 2018 and 2020. They weren't going to win the senate or house in 2016 so it'd just be another 4 years of obstructionism only that Clinton/Kaine are in charge and not Obama. I don't think it would have ended all too well.
I mean, yeah, only Donald Trump has the skill to get through a 4 year term in <2 months.
Sure sounds a lot better than what is happening.

Because Republicans.
Win... torwards what?
I'm rooting for the downfall of Trump, but I am really struggling to see how this changes anything other than "Flynn is gone."
That's not how media works.
They give them a period to comment, and then they'll release the names if they don't. Which makes the White House look even worse.

It may not lead to the instant gratification of the admin downfall, but it puts a wide magnifying glass on them even among supporters. If light continues to shine through, things tend to burn.
It is absolutely something because it 100% proves there was truth to all of the rumors of Russia collaborating with Trump cabinet members. It's the first domino to fall.

So just not report on it? Come on.

I'm beginning to think Trump knew this was coming soon. Pressure is put on Flynn to be the fall guy and bury it from there. Just underestimated what happens when you make enemies of the IC and the media.

Pray one of the names is Bannon
Especially in under a month. I don't know how anyone can say "nothing is happening."
There are several ongoing investigations into the Trump-Russia connection, Flynn resigned in a borderline treasonous scandal, and the Muslim ban was a miserable failure, hamstrung in no small part by Trump's own statement of intent and his disrespect for the separation of powers.
