God damn this movie is gonna be crazy in 5-10 years.

Scenes with Comey realizing the magnitude of Trump's evil.

Steele's scenes as he's flashing back to the accounts given in the dossier.

Now this scene close to the conclusion as the cult following Trump rallies for the oncoming storm by praying with their 'messiah' as the object of worship...

I have a morbid fascination with Trump's fashion choices. The knee-length ties, the potato sack suits, the complete disregard for basic eyebrow maintenance, the Mobius combover, how his skin manages to appear simultaneously radioactive and pasty. The dog piss yellow hair dye is just another mystifying decision.

Yeah but I'd anything going to really happen? Congress doesn't want to do shit. It's amazing to me that republicans can be so blind to this. Trump is EVERYTHING they accused Obama and Hilary of being.

They aren't blind to it, they just don't fucking care. They didn't really even care what Obama was or wasn't doing, or what Hillary might have done. They just want unfettered power and they know how to rile up their stupid base.

I hope Daniel Craig can take a sabbatical from James Bond to play REAL sexy British spy daddy Christopher Steele.

Apparently, the Kushner bought 666 Fifth Avenue in 2007.

White House aide and son-in-law to President Trump Jared Kushner sought and failed to obtain a half billion dollar bailout that he requested from an affluent Qatari businessman for a huge real estate project, The Intercept first reported.

The Kushner Companies in 2007 bought 666 Fifth Avenue, a 41-story tower in Midtown Manhattan, for $1.8 billion in 2007. At the time of its purchase, it was the most expensive real estate deal ever in New York City. In 2015 and 2016, Kushner and his father Charles Kushner negotiated funds for refinancing the property directly with Qatar's former prime minister, billionaire Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani, who is colloquially known as "HBJ," according to The Intercept.

The Kushners were also set to receive $400 million from Anbang Insurance Group, a Chinese financial conglomerate. This $400 million combined with $100 million from other investors, helped the Kushners recoup the full amount of their original investment in 666 Fifth Avenue.

Is that the same street Trump said he could shoot someone in the middle of the street and not lose votes?

666.

The symbolism in this movie is a bit heavyhanded.

You think there is going to be just 1? History is public domain, there is going to be multiple theatrical films, a dozen plus documentaries, and a least 2 TV series (One drama focused, on educational focused) by 2030. And that's just what the US will produce, there will likely be films and media produced by other nations too.

Guy in Russia wrote an email to Donald Trump Jr. that says "Hey, this woman wants to meet with you as an agent of the Russian government to provide you with Russian support to defeat Hillary Clinton."

Jr. writes back "Ok let's do the collusion."

Then he publishes the email thread.

Thanks.

I mean what sort of repercussions are we looking at here? So far all the controversies against this clown administration haven't materialized.

Lol. I saw numerous articles in my Facebook feed explaining how God always sent bad people to help Israel in the Bible. See, it makes perfect sense! How else were people going to save themselves from electing someone with as obviously evil as Hillary Clinton.

We might want to watch out for this, hearing (which maybe, there shouldn't be) later on today.


For the FBI Director position:


https://www.usatoday.com/story/opin...ussian-ties-rosneft-gazprom-column/102603214/

On paper, Christopher Wray appears to be an excellent choice to serve as the next FBI director. He has "impeccable" academic credentials (Yale law school) and has had a decades-long distinguished career as a federal prosecutor and high-level official in the Department of Justice. As the criminal defense lawyer for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie during the ”Bridgegate" investigation, he did raise some eyebrows when it was learned that one of Christie's ”missing" cellphones mysteriously ended up in Wray's possession, but this is unlikely to derail Wray's confirmation.

The most troubling issue that Wray may face is the fact that his law firm — King & Spalding — represents Rosneft and Gazprom, two of Russia's largest state-controlled oil companies.

Rosneft was prominently mentioned in the now infamous 35-page dossier prepared by former British MI6 agent Christopher Steele. The dossier claims that the CEO of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, offered candidate Donald Trump, through Trump's campaign advisor Carter Page, a 19% stake in the company in exchange for lifting U.S. sanctions on Russia. The dossier claims that the offer was made in July while Page was in Moscow.

Rosneft is also the company that had a $500 billion oil drilling joint-venture with Exxon in 2012, when Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was Exxon's CEO. However, the deal was nixed by President Obama in 2014, when he imposed the sanctions that crippled Russia's ability to do business with U.S. companies. The lifting of sanctions by the Trump administration would enable Exxon to renew its joint venture agreement with Rosneft, and the law firm of King & Spalding could end up in the middle of the contract negotiations between those two companies.

The name of the client was not disclosed on Wray's biography. A spokesperson for King and Spalding declined to provide the name of client when asked, citing "the Rules of Professional Responsibility regarding client confidentiality." A DOJ spokesperson also would not provide further details.

King and Spalding said Wray made the change himself in January 2017 before he considered whether he might be nominated for any administration post.

"Chris made this change to his bio, along with other minor tweaks, in an attempt to make the material more current. At the time he made the adjustments -- January 12, 2017 -- he was not being considered for, and did not anticipate being nominated for, FBI Director, or any position in government," Micheline Tang, a spokeswoman for the firm said. "Moreover, the representation that was dropped from his online bio related to a matter where Chris, King & Spalding, and the client were adverse to the Russian Government. Mr. Wray worked on this matter in 2006. Other attorneys at the firm worked on the matter in 2006, 2007, and 2011."

"The executive is an American citizen and lives in the United States," she continued. "During the course of the dispute, the Russian government sought to exert leverage against this executive and the company by initiating a criminal investigation in Russia against him. Chris and the firm were engaged to handle the U.S. legal issues that arose from the situation."

Far to many Russian connections, with Trump picks. Regardless if that last part somewhat checks out. There is a pattern and Trump likes loyal oaths. This guy still wants to be Director with all the shit going on and it being connected essentially to his boss. Me no likely.

........................................................

Also Sen.Grassesy and Sen.Graham were asking questions about that dossier, calling it into question (Not knowing rather or not, that it was being used in the first place) and trying to get the FBI to spill the beans on subpoenas and other classified information. That they shouldn't really be asking for, during an active investigation.


Ben Wittes even weighs on it: http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/07/11/the-defense-of-the-fbi-against-donald-trump-has-to-start-now/
