In major news yes.
There has been here and there, along the edges, suggestions/speculation that there has been Russian money going to the GOP, or GOP candidates at least, as an explainer for certain types of GOP pushback from investigations we've seen.

What a day that would be.
Yes. The audio was recorded and leaked to the press.

It's like... he wanted to prove Feinstein wrong?

The RNC getting roped into this feels huge, not only for the obvious political significance, but for the fact that it's ballooning the conspiracy beyond Trump's inner circle, meaning more people to screw it all up either accidentally or to save themselves, and most of these people probably don't like Trump.
Yea, if the larger RNC is caught up in all this people are going to start flipping to save themselves. Trump may be willing to pardon people to keep them out of jail, but it'd doom the party for a generation or more if solid proof of collusion comes out and the people who did it are still in charge of the party.
WH presser going on right now looking fucking grim for immigrants affected by the storm.
Real fucking grim. ICE won't be there once you show up to the shelter, but it sounds like they're definitely going on whoever shakes out of a shelter immediately once this is all cleared up.

Someone in the Mueller thread posted a link that a bunch of RNC people have jumped ship in the last month too. 🤔
Could be they heard rumors about this crap and don't want to be tainted when the shit hits the fan.

The point is that Donald Trump has these promos on his Twitter feed, so he has little plausible deniability for knowing about them. I will refrain from making any more posts about it.
I mean, post about whatever you want, im not the post police. I'm just saying I can see how most people are not going to get outraged by this.
Also I doubt he reads any tweets that doesn't @ mention him. he won't read daily briefings that don't mention him frequently, why would he read tweets that don't?

How do I move forward and not consider any Republican a possible monster? I don't want to even know what party my coworkers or friends belong to because I'll just assume they support horrible vile people.

Yea, I'm sure that's going to go over real well
29/63 by the end of September at this rate. I don't think we've seen the floor yet.
I don't think his administration is really thinking this through. Harvey is already an economic hurdle, if DACA ends that's not actually going to help the economy considering people became 'DACA people' because they wanted to work. Do they think subtracting those 800k dreamers will jump boost the economy?

I dont haventh slightest clue of what would happen if the entire republican party were taking money from
Russia..
Do you wag your finger at them and tell them not to do it again or do you file charges? What if they wont come quietly? This is crazy

Another confirmation from Trump's lawyers that they'll have to defend him against obstruction of justice.

You would arrest people responsible for the decision. I don't think the whole party itself would or could be implicated, although obviously the OPTICS would impact the entire GOP.

I just don't see how anyone could even possibly defend this. And yet, many people will. Sickening.
I mean, anyone involved would be swept up in it. If the RNC was funneling Russian money around to different campaigns I have a hard time believing guys like Ryan and McConnell didn't know, let alone the guys involved in those campaigns.

This was the second boom one left.

The people chastising Wittes for his teasing are suddenly prophets.
I don't care whether the "boom" merits a tease or not.
I'd just prefer they didn't tease ANY article like it was some dumb ARG or shit.

Looks like Trump and lawyers are prepping for an obstruction of justice charge.
This is the other "boom" apparently

It's not nothing that the President of the United States has defense lawyers actively working on strategy for explaining why his actions aren't obstruction of justice.
I agree. This kinda should have been assumed though, no?
Definitely not nothing, but preparing a defense isn't necessarily a revelation. We've known Trump has been under investigation for obstruction for some time, now. It makes sense his lawyers are preparing to protect him and do their jobs.

I assume he has some knowledge of what is happening. Since he been doing this since the Comey e-mails and everyone assumed it was him who leaked them out.
Even though it wasn't but another friend of theirs.

My prediction is that this will lead to the revelation of a deal between Reagan and the USSR where the USSR will dissolve if they get to control the Republican part for the next few generations.

Even a plurality of Republicans support citizenship for Dreamers? Hope for this country yet.
The way the talk about flood relief and immigration issues was discussed in this press briefing left much to be desired in terms of "are they going to deport everyone who seeks help?" They used the 'deport those who committed a crime' thing again but only went so far as to say that those seeking permanent residency shouldn't shy from applying for aid. The extremely lengthy answer to how they'll get funding for this all was worrisome, where the correct answer is "we'll get it."

Lincoln actually worked with Alexander II to ensure his second term win, to not disrupt the Civil War effort.

I think the problem is that Trump will drag a lot of people with him.Speed running towards that high 20s approval
There are a lot of republicans I think that support DACA, but would defend/support Trump's actions if he trashed it. Because if Trump did it there must have been a good reason for it therefore it's ok

That did cross my mind, but at least he is on the record promising it. If he doesn't come through, the anti-Trump campaign ad will write itself.

Republicans are a lost cause, it's the independents to watch.
This is also more stuff on the pile to motivate Democrats to vote and demotivate Republicans
So you're saying that Trump did something illegal, immoral, against policy? That's the boom?
Just throw it on the list of other illegal, immoral, against policy things he has done (some much worse than this).
This is just another day that ends in "y" in Trump's America. For anyone else it would be a huge deal. With Trump... oh well.
I mean when your floor and your ceiling for approvals are one in the same and it keeps dropping steadily over months at a time, it stands to reason that a number of people probably give a shit. It's silly to say this is water off his back any longer. We have data to back he's actively getting slowly squeezed month over month.
