NYT: Trump Campaign Aides Had Repeated Contacts With Russian Intelligence

This news alone, or combined with disastrous previous 4 weeks, won't be enough to force Donald out.

However, it's easy to see where this is all going. The leaks just aren't going to stop here. The NSA is probably gearing up to drop the pee pee tape in a few weeks.

And I'm sure the Republican leadership is in on it too. Why? Notice how none of the crises that have plagued the Trump Administration have maligned Pence. In fact, with the Flynn story, he actually come out as a victim, since he claims he didn't know Flynn was lying.

I have a feeling that the GOP needs Pence to be the POTUS well before the 2018 elections, while they still have control of Congress.

Mr. Pence, Mr. Priebus and Mr. Bannon urged Mr. Trump to fire the national security adviser, according to officials, but the president could not bring himself to do it, in part for fear of losing face. When a reporter on Air Force One heading to Florida on Friday asked him about The Post’s report, Mr. Trump said he had not read it. “I don’t know about that,” he said. “I haven’t seen it.”

Didn't see this posted before. So Trump prioritized saving face over doing the right thing, not that I'm surprised....

This makes Watergate look like small potatoes. This makes Watergate look like littering.

I'm not sure everyone understand how absolutely gigantic and unprecedented this situation is.
 
Jesus Christ PATIENCE everyone.

I can assure you that you would not want to live in a country where people can be summarily charged with treason based on news reports.

The wheels are in motion. Things will happen. Please hang in there.

The country and how information is disseminated is a lot different than back in 73. Public outcry can be a lot louder now with social media and how easy it is to organize across the country.

It's the nature of bullies, they lack emotional intelligence and empathy. Strength and fear drives their instincts and they expect the world to adapt and respect them. It's the absolute worst qualities to create followers in leadership and karma is a bitch.

This is the correct calm-down post.

Shit is in motion.

Our system is not built to spin on a dime.

That said, Trump has changed things with his brute force strategy, and we are in uncharted and surreal waters right now.

Sitting on the couch playing Zelda watching the news of Trump's entire administration getting strung up would be pretty amazing.
 
I won't believe the republicans will impeach or even investigate until it actually happens.

GOP is beholden to a base that lives in another reality. Their voters believe this is all an obama conspiracy (this is how Brietbart is reporting it).
 
Trump & his administration has had more scandals than even Bill Clinton has had with his sex scandal with Monica Lewinsky & a few other women.

Hillary had a private server, Trump is in bed with the Russians. This is insanity that nothing big is happening yet.

Please be more patient. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN OVER NIGHT. The watergate scandal took a while for it to become a thing, and this won't be different. Evidence will keep on surfacing from now on though. The cat is out of the bag and there is nothing bringing it back in.
 
Supporting the NYT, CNN, Washington Post, etc right now is as EQUALLY as important as supporting organizations like the ACLU.

I don't think the atmosphere is remotely the same, go talk to your Trump friends/family members.

In the end, we will see, sorry if I'm overly pessimistic/cynical about this. Nothing has mattered for this man.

The Trump diehards are the minority. If proof is shown that his campaign colluded with Russia he will not have the support of the people.

Yeah that's extra stupid. Trump's been pissing them off since day zero. Not sure if Russia told him not to deal with them or they already suspended shit and were harsh on him causing this situation. Either way, not good for old piss-flavored orange.

Boom!

Lets see who throws down their MAGA hats and who clenches it tighter. I have zero doubt some people will flip.

I think the story is going to make someone cut and run, figuratively, and then it'll all fall down. The campaign wasn't organized and this isn't a tight group of people. When stuff like this is going on behind the scenes, you can at least pretend everything is normal. It's out in the open now, the pressure is increasing. If they're guilty, somebody will blink first and try to save themselves.

How is the Trump diehards the minority when he still has a majority of Republican voter support and Republicans still vote for his proposals at a rate of 99%?
