"We've made a request, to FinCEN in the Treasury Department, to make sure, not just for example vis-a-vis the President, but just overall our effort to try to follow the intel no matter where it leads," Sen. Mark Warner told CNN. "You get materials that show if there have been, what level of financial ties between, I mean some of the stuff, some of the Trump-related officials, Trump campaign-related officials and other officials and where those dollars flow -- not necessarily from Russia."

Wow this is huge. They sent the request straight to CID.
I am shocked the request got this far.

i went on cnn.com to look but I got distracted by an article about how Obama is leaving the top buttons on his button-ups unbuttoned in public appearances

This is a hell of a ride. I hope the end game pays off.

My guess would be that at some point we will see a majority of the Republicans pivot against Trump, and only those that are the most crazy/compromised (or both) continue to hold water for that treasonous piece of trash. The hope, slim as it is, is that come election time enough voters remember who defended the scumbag and vote them right the fuck out.

Trump: "No"
Senate Investigation Committee: "Well, we tried"
Senate Investigation Committee: "Well, we tried"
I've maintained a belief for a while that the Republicans will turn on Trump and eat him alive if the Republicans feel their positions are in jeopardy.

It doesnt work like that. They can issue subpoena, and the request is to Treasury, not Trump.

The Senate investigation confirmed the details of the "leak" that got General Flynn fired.
*Golf Clap*
Really man, you don't perceive these investigations to being brought to any sort of a head AT ALL?
I said it in the "concession call" thread, but I knew he was deflecting something major if he was getting that petty.
So we're basically looking at a direct hit?

I usually agree but they're actually going after financial information now which is promising
Richard Burr, the Republican chair, requested this.

But Trump is talking about releasing the concession audio to divert media attention and own the narrative. Clearly something has to be there.

So he can burn the evidence?
I kid
But they must have some indication they are going to find something.

depends on if they managed to untangle his money laundering from Russia.
There won't be any check deposits from a V.Putin

Things are happening. Things have been happening. More things will likely continue happening. I don't know what ultimate result the senate and FBI investigations will be, but it's already been a drag on the Trump administration and clearly affects his frame of mind.
I'm beginning to read these "nothing will happen" posts as "this is slow and I'm bored"
That makes sense; they're all for the Trump team until they start losing them money.
Just watch Trump supporters turn around, disavow him, then jump on the next hate-filled demagogue.
So nothing.
More like
Treasury: "No"
Senate Republicans: "Well, we tried"
Senate Democrats: "Subpoena?"
Senate Republicans: "No"

Or waiting for Flynn being arrested for treason.
Things are happening and continuing to happen is not enough for me hopeful for anything to happened to Trump at all even if a Republican is the one doing it.

A member of the president's hand picked cabinet was confirmed by the most recent AG to be susceptible to Russian bribes, the White house was forced to confirm that they knew and did nothing about it because _____, and that's "nothing"?
What exactly is the threshold for scandal in Washington?

All the scandals in the world don't mean anything unless something becomes of them.

Does the senate investigation have any actual staff dedicated to it yet?

He was fired, and only because Yates' warning got to the press before she was able to testify publicly.
That's something.
If we continue to get irl verifications of just the scandalous tidbits that have been leaked thus far, it will continue to be a hard time for the administration.
If you're on the "impeachment or void election in 6 months or bust" camp, I don't know what to tell you.
