Just woke up, I see there's the expected Trump dismissal tweets but have I missed anything else thanks in advance

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
American Carnage is going to be such a good movie.
Republicans still are more concerned about leaks happening in first place and want ignore everything that was leaked.
Democrats still want independent investigation into everything that was leaked and to see where it can lead.
Trump tries to ignore and dodge.
Old Spicey later today may suffer stroke at podium.
Be prepared for more and more of this.

LOL, I see a banner on CNN that Trump is having a news conference at 12. You know he is going to distract and do something to try and get people to stop talking about this.

Figured. So they're doing a press briefing today?
That conference is with Bibi so you get 4 pre-vetted questions.
Should be. One of WH press correspondents tweeted that there is one today: https://twitter.com/GlennThrush/status/831858025182982144

Trump: Putin is such a strong leader. The US needs a strong leader like him. We've been losing for too long. America's current leader sucks!

Well it'll be a bunch of deflection at this point still and I imagine Spicer will redirect it toward Clinton/Obama despite valid questions coming from the press. They're gonna need something a lot harder than what they have now.
My head is on backwards today. I'll just stop.

Lol. And so it begins.
I really hope it's not nothing, but it probably is. Maybe she got fired?
She would've changed the info text too.
will there be more Skype questions shenanigans ?

That makes me sick. No repercussions.
If she got fired she probably would have changed more than just the banner pic.
Still, it suggests some sort of posturing.
"This is bullshit. I did not collude with Russia. I did notttt... oh, hi Vlad."

It's either fake news or real leaks, Donald. You can't have it both ways.
Once again the great negotiator is defeated by a simple 2 letter word, "no"
He seems shook.
Which turns out to be a lie in and of itself.

This senator on CNN saying he doesnt believe it is illegal for the Trump to contact Russia before his team won the election.
Now they are making their own rules.
Now they are making their own rules.
His tone has constantly been shook ever since he observed how confidently Obama ran up stairs several years ago.
He never recovered.
LOL!
I think Trump is schattenjager

"Give back Crimea, Russia". There I said it are you happy? Well they said "no.". Well what can you do? At least this whole Russian connection is behind us.
Let's say that is the case, they should then have no issues handing over transcripts.

Frightening to see the lengths and hoops people jump through to remain in power, even in a supposed democracy. Shit is insane.

His justification was that he won the election, so it wasnt illegal because he was the incoming administration.
She did this yesterday before this story broke.
I mean, I don't think such an action is illegal, at least how you've worded it. I'm not aware of a law that prevents a campaign from communicating with another government in general. For instance, Trump had a very highly publicized meeting and joint press conference with the Mexican president during the campaign.

It would be akin to me just strolling into an office two weeks before my start date and before I even signed the proper paperwork to begin discussing potential business opportunities with contractors that fly in the face of the manager I am replacing who is still active for another two weeks, just because the person that interviewed me told me to I have the job.
You do not have the job until you start the job.

They've been headed in that direction for a while.
They were normally full of bot tweets, but they have largely disappeared.

The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that details the fine and/or imprisonment of unauthorized citizens who negotiate with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States. It was intended to prevent the undermining of the government's position.[2] The Act was passed following George Logan's unauthorized negotiations with France in 1798, and was signed into law by President John Adams on January 30, 1799. The Act was last amended in 1994, and violation of the Logan Act is a felony.
