How much smoke do you fucking need? There's no way this doesn't touch Trump somehow.

Lock him up

 

[Jenov]

Man, the q&a portion of that presser was super uncomfortable to watch.

 

[jellies_two]

that smarmy little southern racist grin really gets to me holy shit. He uses in inappropriate proportion to the gravity of his situation.

He could absolutely star as a plantation owning friend of DiCaprio.

 

[Got]

haha, drive that stake into the trump crime family

 

[Makonero]

Kushner is the path to Trump. Trump will NEVER push him away. Tag Kushner with something and you've got 'im.

 

[Ithil]

That was so clearly rushed together, with little preparation. They got blindsided by this and it shows.
He had no real answers for the questions, his excuses didn't make any sense and his sudden change to recuse despite denying any wrongdoing reeked of an attempt at a quick fix appeasement.

They met up in fucking Trump Tower during the month of December. The place where Trump lives...

 

[jellies_two]

Note that the schedule was 30 minutes and he fled after 8 minutes.

Also his recusal is only for matters prior to election. This is a trick.

Yeah, they're clearly not as prepared for this as I thought they would be

Remember that Nixon didn't get nabbed until late in the Watergate investigation.

LOL

 

[KHarvey16]

Recusing only to be replaced by this guy is a lateral step, Dems have to keep pushing as if nothing has changed and capitalize on that disaster Q&A.

Recusal is a big step no matter what. This will keep going.

 

[EatinOlives]

They control all three federal branches.

They can afford to be cocky sadly.

Flynn already got kicked out.

These people are not safe.

I'm more convinced than ever that the Trump administration is less an alliance of like-minded far-right extremists, and more a Putin-curated band of stooges Russia has dirt on.

 

[onadesertedisland]

Said it last night that nothing will happen to this guy. If he's out he squeals and the whole house comes down. To risky.

It's getting bigger than them. The gig is up. They should be making bargains.

 

[BronsonLee]

Sessions went out there to put out the fire but instead just poured gas on it

This is fucking comical. I bet they were SO proud of that fucking "presidential" speech and they won't even get 24 hours worth of good PR for it. Poor snowflakes.

 

[Jerm411]

The crazy thing about this is that its blatantly obvious what's going on and everyone knows it....just gonna take a piece or two and this entire thing will fall right into place but right now it's like a huge game of Clue lol....

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Pee pee tapes

 

[Host Samurai]

My takeaway on this is that it's ok to lie under oath if you have that magic R next to your name.

 

[Swass]

I love how the news is now saying there was intelligence gained from the Yemen fiasco and are now bombing.. seems a little too convenient...

Also would love to see more focus on Wilbur Ross and his Russian ties as it correlates to Trump himself as brought to light by this piece done by Rachel Maddow.

The R now means property of Russia.

What news is saying that?

 

[sc0la]

And this is why the double down is important. The next dribble of info is more damaging >

Edit: Oh shit, the Flynn, Kushner, Kislyak meeting was at Trump tower

 

[DOWN]

How much smoke do you fucking need? There's no way this doesn't touch Trump somehow.

At this point there's a bonfire burning up evidence somewhere in the building but it's awfully hard to get through the maze now that the arsonist has hidden the map

Yeah instead of the copyright symbol it'll have the hammer and sickle.

Paul Ryan is secretly playing Putin by giving him targets.

The very last line says the strikes aren't related to any intelligence obtained from the raid.

 

[Glix]

Does anyone else think that NYT/WP/etc have the real big dirt off the record but won't run it until the sourcing is airtight?

 

[gutterboy44]

The level at which his entire inner circle and top admin staff are compromised by Russian interests is in-fucking-sane. Seriously, has anyone gone up to Trump and given his face a tug? I think we are at that point. We need to confirm it isn't Putin in a fat-suit and mask.

 

[Nekofrog]

We all thought trump was going to be the end of the Republican party during the elections, we just didn't realize that it would take him being elected president for it to actually happen.

So many people are gonna go down with this thing.

 

[teiresias]

Just now on CNN from Van Jones, "Today Sessions became the Attorney General"

Interesting.. I was watching live and it seemed they were relating the 2.. none the less, still convenient they are announcing they found significant intelligence especially with this story:

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/trumps-claims-about-yemen-raid-run-conflicting-evidence

 

[Abinash117]

Flynn didn't resign until another leak dropped. I think more damaging leak might drop now because he didn't resign.

Yep. WaPo broke the story in 1972. Nixon resigned in 1974.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Holy shit, Kushner met with the same Russian ambassador with Flynn.

Man.. news outlets today handing out juicy details like

 

[hydragonwarrior]

They met up in fucking Trump Tower during the month of December. The place where Trump lives...

Maybe it was Trump Incognito. Fake news.

Just makes me wanna rewatch All The President's Men. (highly recommended)

Get Trumps doofus son n law out of here too.

Yes but back then everyone just had morning and evening newspapers to stay in sync. What happened then as far as information spreading happens now in an hour. So lets say 8x faster, that means a few months can communicate what 2 years did back then.
