I'm surprised Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov hasn't been given a polonium sandwich seeing how he told Interfax right after the election that "quite a few of Trump's entourage" have been "staying in touch with Russian representatives" throughout the campaign.

He dun goof'd. The election was rigged, and he'll eventually pay for the consequences. Like I've said numerous times, there is no chance this buffon will complete his presidency in full.

That or he'd better throw massive funding towards NASA so they can build his escape vehicle. If he somehow makes it through 4 years in office, he will be hounded after.

Do feel a weird rumble when you touch your chest at certain spots? It might be that you find Fox distasteful because you suffer from, what we experts call, "being a human being" syndrome.
 
Repubs going hard on plugging the leaks vs. Investigating the possible treason. The interviewer on NPR got the Illinois congressman good by stating that the criticism here is that the Repubs are puting party over country.

Just fucking hop off, you fuck.

It infuriates me that this man knows he's a treasonous, Putin-dick-loving fuck and that he lies to the public all the time. It's a criminal caught in the act who's done and said a host of terrible shit yet he keeps telling you that he hasn't. It's fucking insulting. A god damn assault on basic human decency and intellect. You Tic Tac mother fucker.

Memo to John Oliver... increase ad budget to Fox and Friends so you can educate Donny on basic facts.

Can anyone clarify something? I thought it was already known for a while now, especially leading up to his inauguration.

Also, much like last time, will anything actually come of this?

You are kidding me right

He didn't make that call last week, what good is your hypothetical?

Undermining the actions of the Obama administration to provide comfort to a foreign hostile actor was T R E A S O N

But he did not undermine them, according to the NYTimes article I shared earlier. The Obama administration contacted the FBI to ask whether or not Flynn had negotiated anything or promised anything. He did not.

As a non-american:
Fox&Friends sounds like a super low budget cartoon kids show you see at 3 AM on some obscure TV station.

But the new administration are within their right to discuss lifting sanctions. He could have made that call last week, and it wouldn't have caused this kind of issue. The argument here is that a private citizen shouldn't have spoken to the ambassador. But that in itself is a naive interpretation of who Flynn was at that point.

It's illegal for private citizens to negotiate foreign policy with other nations.

Every person in the campaign was a private citizen at the time these calls took place. Even Flynn.
 
Soka said:
Seriously, what more needs to be said?

In fact, Flynn didn't negotiate at all, according to the NYTimes.

The Obama officials asked the F.B.I. if a quid pro quo had been discussed on the call, and the answer came back no, according to one of the officials, who like others asked not to be named discussing delicate communications. The topic of sanctions came up, they were told, but there was no deal.

Obama aides looked into it. It seems they got a hold of the transcript. There was no conspiracy

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA IT IS REAL OMFG

I thought it was fake.

I love it when people don't use picture quoting or direct link because it keeps you guessing.

I'm peeing myself.

Narrated by David Attenborough!

I wonder how he slept last night. He must have been thinking about what sick tweet he was going to send out. I like how he carefully waited until morning to avoid looking like he was up in the middle of the night. That's when you know he's trying to hide something.
 
The Putin/Reagan image is used to remind others that officials talking to Russian aides does not mean those officials are aware of the real background of those individuals. What has happened here is the IC have examined the backgrounds and discovered the FSB links. It's not that different than people looking back at this image in hindsight.

It's a long reach to accuse Trump aides of knowingly colliding with Russian intelligence. Anyone who is suggesting that is being unreasonable.

Oh please. Most of these guys have been around the block, they know the score. Fuck me, poor petals didn't know. It's fucking Russia, the guys with money are generally linked to the security agencies simply because it was the security agencies which carved the place up during the commercial reforms.

Look, I appreciate that you're trying to keep expectations in check here, but there is actual meat on these bones.
 
"The officials interviewed in recent weeks said that, so far, they had seen no evidence of such cooperation."

So what's with this part of the article?

People say this, but I never hear anyone say the logic behind that. Yes, Pence is bad, but not as bad as Trump. I hope both of them are out though if this goes down.

You could argue, however, that impeaching Trump sooner will allow the current anti GOP sentiment to evaporate very quickly.

I genuinely don't see it. I'd love to be proved wrong.

Either Trumps people are too naive and incompetent to be in the security sensitive positions they find themselves or they should have had an inkling. Which is it?

Trump's controlled by a foreign dictator Putin, and a Nazi supremacist Steve Bannon. Even though Pence is terrible in his own regard, Trump is a dumb puppet that has no qualms with evil destroying America and relations with other countries in the world.

Trump really is unprecedented.

Yes I'm tired of this Pence is worse BS. It's a hugely shortsighted statement. Trump is that much of a disaster.

I agree about the wealth link back to the Kremlin. But are we now saying any wealthy Russian interested in politics is practically a Russian government official? Or worse, an agent? Is Rex Tillerson a sleeper agent?
