"Look at my inauguration crowd size, biggest ever, and size of my electoral college win, best ever, so this is what people want. Also Clinton emails and Obama. Did I mention inauguration crowd?"

"I mean really would a guy with a crowd this big be controlled by Russia"
 
I don't know how I'm supposed to get any work done while this plays out. At least during Watergate there was no internet.
 
Just woke up, I see there's the expected Trump dismissal tweets but have I missed anything else thanks in advance

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?
 
Maybe he'll throw his MAGA hat on the ground and scream, "Fine, you never wanted to make America great!" and quit.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
 
The fake news media is going crazy with their conspiracy theories and blind hatred. @MSNBC & @CNN are unwatchable. @foxandfriends is great!
Information is being illegally given to the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost by the intelligence community (NSA and FBI?).Just like Russia
It's either fake news or real leaks, Donald. You can't have it both ways.
 
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.
 
"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.

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

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.
 
Just reading the comments on Trumps tweets this morning, are the replies usually this visceral or are people starting to wake up..?
 
His justification was that he won the election, so it wasnt illegal because he was the incoming administration.

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.

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.

The best outcome of this I could dream of, would be trump feeling so angry that he pisses off Putin through some more tweets which in turn pisses on trump by releasing the piss video. I'd be in piss heaven!
