If @realDonaldTrump wants to avoid scandals like this, he should put airport security in the hands of the airlines themselves.

Price would have flown economy if he didn't have to be bothered by federal security checks?

[Dr. Worm]

Man Price getting fired would be hilarious. Guy gave up a safe(ish) House seat just to be thrown under the bus when the President is a moron.

Like I can't believe how many Republicans ended their own careers for Donald Fucking Trump.

I know I shouldn't dwell on elections past, but this would be so much sweeter had Ossoff won...

 

[Greigor The Fellhand]

"Resigned"

Where's da oppo

the I Don't Kneel flag is backwards in two of those shirts. They obviously hate our troops.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Guys.

Trump should appoint Bill Cassidy to head HHS.

I heard he was a doctor or something.

Landrieu gets her revenge. Or his revenge. I don't care.

[Vixdean]

Lost his House seat, couldn't repeal Obamacare, and reesigned in disgrace. This is what justice looks like.

Spoiler

Can you really call it oppo when it's the republican's own platform for healthcare, taxes, president's tweets being used as oppo research?

Seems like cheating.

See edit. It’s still technically cheating, but Obama’s appointees abused strike-through text too!

ProPublica: Robert Mueller Subpoenas an Associate of the Man Who Hired Michael Flynn as a Lobbyist

The special prosecutor investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election has subpoenaed an associate of Gen. Michael Flynn’s Turkish lobbying client. The subpoena, a copy of which was obtained by ProPublica, ordered Sezgin Baran Korkmaz to testify before a grand jury in Washington on Sept. 22.

“The grand jury is conducting an investigation of possible violations of federal criminal laws involving the Foreign Agents Registration Act, among other offenses,” a letter accompanying the subpoena stated. The letter is signed by Robert Mueller and Zainab Ahmad, a senior assistant special counsel who specializes in prosecuting terrorism. Korkmaz did not respond to requests for comment.

There are no indications of direct links between Korkmaz and Flynn, who briefly served as Donald Trump’s national security adviser. But Korkmaz, 39, is a close ally of Ekim Alptekin, the 40-year-old Turkish businessman who hired Flynn to lobby for Turkish interests shortly before the election. Korkmaz, a Turkish national, said in a radio interview in May that he started as a dishwasher at age 13 and is now bringing hundreds of millions of dollars from the U.S. to Turkey. His company invests in a range of industries in Turkey, the Middle East, the U.S. and Russia, and he has invested in several projects that involve people accused or convicted of crimes.

It’s not clear why prosecutors wanted Korkmaz to testify. But one possible explanation is his connection to Alptekin. Investigators are interested in the ultimate source of the money that Alptekin’s company paid to Flynn’s firm, according to a person familiar with the probe. (Representatives for Alptekin, Flynn and Mueller all declined to comment.)

 

[JohnTinker]

does this mean jared has to run HHS now too

 

[Aaron Strife]

If Trump wants to yank any future Secretaries from the House, I have a few suggestions.

Erik Paulsen
Mike Coffman
David Valadao
Barbara Comstock
Martha McSally
Carlos Curbelo

I don't know, just spitballing here.

Watch Trump try to tap Collins or Murkowski so that a pro-repeal senator can be appointed.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Watch Trump try to tap Collins or Murkowski so that a pro-repeal senator can be appointed.

Would work for Collins (she'd say no but in theory), not for Murky. Governor of Alaska is an independent, quasi-Democrat. Democrats stood aside so he could win. The same gambit they pulled for Kansas Senate but it actually worked.

Ossoff winning would’ve been justice #StillSalty

So uh where’s the big bombshell today

Mueller has 16 season prosecutors

 

[Mark Andrew]

These smaller stories always seem to come out before a Wittes Boom so I guess that’s a start.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

So uh where’s the big bombshell today

Not coming?

 

[PantherLotus]

WE'RE WAITING

 

[Kusagari]

Maybe we'll get a Saturday Surprise.

Sounds like she’s saying get rid of the TSA?

What I hate the most about these shirts is no one told anyone to fucking take a knee. It’s a conscious choice.

*edit*

Apologize for two posts in a row.

 

[Random Human]

I’ve been offline all day. Looks like there’s more oppo expected tonight?

 

[BoboBrazil]

I think today's boom will hit at 7:30pm eastern.

 

[Random Human]

Expecting a major Russia oppo dropo today. No insider scoop, just guessing. My insider scoop from before says things are moving so fast and so messy that expect shit to fall out every other day and watch Jared.

wittes plus the atlantic said something big is coming weeeeeeeeeee

Oh shit.

 

[RumbleHumble]

Are we just guessing random times for an oppo drop, or is there actual evidence outside the Atlantic's Russia editor hinting that something soon is coming?

Last couple of oppos, while dynamite in a vacuum, have had little impact on current events.

 

[Maengun1]

He's not the only one doing this. Pruitt and Mnuchin also did. Don't forget his whole admin is crooked.

Ugh I want Pruitt gone more than anyone tbh (I mean other than Trump/Pence lol)

 

[jtb]

The Atlantic Russia editor? who, Julia Ioffe?

The Antlantic's Russia editor and Wittes. I usually expect those stories around 7 EST, so 10 minutes or so. If it's today. Sometimes they get pushed back a few days, but if Wittes is teasing it, it's usually pretty solid.

lols.

 

[PantherLotus]

The Atlantic Russia editor? who, Julia Ioffe?

Yes. She tagged Wittes on Twitter with a tick tick tick, he RTd and said he's out of the tick tick tick game but to take it seriously. Then she said later to not expect anything to drop last night. Implying today.

 

[The Chosen One]

I’ve been offline all day. Looks like there’s more oppo expected tonight?

You mean "Journo-Drop"

Or just "Journo".

Say no to oppo. Expect some real journo by 7:30pm ET.

lols.

Republicans should just disband the Party and go into Cinema Chains. Call themselves "Grand Old Projectors" where you can watch all those shorts/films that are horribly racist/sexist today.

(The level of Projecting is too damn high)
