One thing I noticed from the hearings is how much they each contradict Trump openly on issues Trump has been very vocal about. Either they were told to say whatever they need to say to pass without too much of a fuss, or they are stating their positions to stay around if Trump gets impeached.

It's sad. I've seen a number of people who used to be reasonable grounded Republicans fall into this garbage and it's a big reason why so many members of Congress are just falling in line. Eric Cantor getting primaried showed them what will happen if they don't fall in line.
It's only gotten worse with Trump. I saw a comment on GAF somewhere the other day regarding how the Ohio GOP has essentially done everything it can to ensure Kaisch has no power for the remainder of his term for not supporting Trump.
I saw NBC being mentioned a few times in the thread when I was browsing at work....

Either way, I'm stunned that a major news organization's report differs this greatly from everyone else's reporting.

Yea I thought about that too...seems like they just want to get in and once they are in they can do whatever they want.
Never say never.
Do you think it's driven a wedge in the party at all? You moderates are still a sizable voting block for the party, it would be insane if half the party has lost its marbles and you can't vote the crazies out
They continued being smug about it, despite Clapper's statement and now Biden confirming otherwise.
Even before that we found out that article was written by a Russian correspondent who also writes for Moscow Today and basically wrote the exact same thing.
So yea, not a good look.

Ironically, here's a photo of him and Putin (and also Jill Stein lol). He was there for a state-run event where he was PAID to give a speech. I'm not sure of the date but it was prior to September 2016.
Edit: beaten on the photo!
The Washington Post interviewed him about it afterwards:

*the same Carter Page Trump said he didn't know in his press conference?

PRIEST: Let me ask about sitting next to Putin
because thats the symbol.
FLYNN: Yeah, I know, boring.
PRIEST: But did you think about what the optics would be
FLYNN: Sure. I didnt have any problem. What Im looking for is to make sure, in my view, I see a country that has lost respect for another country and if I have any sort of fiber in my body where I can help out to make sure they understand that we have people in our country who arent going to apologize for who we are.
Were not going to act in a soft way for what we believe needs to be done. I was very adamant about what I said. He knows exactly what I said.
PRIEST: Did you talk to him personally?
FLYNN: No, just introduction. Thats it.
PRIEST: The seating arrangements? You didnt ask to sit by him?
FLYNN: Nope. I was one of the guests there. Some interesting characters. I found it a great learning opportunity. One of the things I learned was that Putin has no respect for the United States leadership. Not for the United States, but the leadership.
PRIEST: How did you learn that?
FLYNN: I just learned it from the conversations and the way questions were asked and the discussions I was part of. Im arguing for the United States and I found myself with people wondering whats going on with the U.S. and I would tell them, you know, of course Im standing up for the U.S. But its hard when they dont have any respect for the current leadership.
PRIEST: To broaden the discussion on the Russia question a little bit, theres [Trump adviser] Carter Page* having business interest and Paul Manafort have business interests there.
FLYNN: Yeah, I know, boring.

So what would everyone's reaction be if the "spy boogeyman" NSA ended up being the ones that take down Trump?
Why call Putin on that day of all days? This is making me angry.
No. Moderates practically don't exist, they have either become conservative democrats, independents, or fallen in line with the crazies, happy that their "team" is winning.
Oh shit

Doesn't he work for the observer run by Kushner? I would assume he would be pro trump unless something is coming undone as we speak (though I know he wrote a pretty fair report a few days ago on the dossier leak).
I don't think so. I feel pretty lonely as an anti-Trump person who also agrees with Democrats on certain issues.
Enemy of my enemy.
But nothing to do with me! I am sure Trump will tweet something like that.
Nice work, stay in your lane(s), and don't target private US citizens simply because its easiest, so we can be friends again?
I hope we can get confirmation by another source soon.
To see this all unfold is crazy. Never imagined something like this in my lifetime.

To the left of Putin. Trump's National Security advisor.
Don't find that hard to believe at all.
Will trump distance himself from flynn now?
Who is this? I'd like to see more than a tweet before I start thinking this is a smoking gun.
"According to US govt official, Flynn phoned Russian Ambassador several times the day Obama announced retaliation" https://t.co/u9KmTi8Yqv

Trump will be Trump. He'll probably deny it and say it's FAKE NEWS again

Somebody please stop Trump, his campaign/cabinet team, the RNC & the GOP before they destroy this country, PLEASE.

He's referring to a bunch of things. The culmination of it all, on top of it being released today that Flynn called Moscow multiple times after Obama announced the retaliation against Russia.

Yeah, John Schindler is kind of... out there.
I want this to be true, SO BADLY. Suspending my arousal until there is confirmation, though.
Just look at the polling and you'll see that the line is more than happy to move itself to justify all this.
That none of this was collected from my metadata..?

While for the future. I think Russia is a thought going through their minds. Russia has reportedly been meddling and successfully up heaving many Western European countries politics. They can now add America to their list and if they don't act together than western Europe will be in chaos.
I'm not sure what else there is to say. It's been increasingly obvious since Manafort joined his campaign of his Russian ties but nothing seems to be able to get done about it.

What if the NSA takes down Trump with metadata on Flynn?

Been lurking for a while, that John Schindler, who is he? His twitter bio says a lot, but that's an awful big bombshell to drop just out of no where.
I mean, I want to to be real, and to be part of something, but I remember people getting onboard the hype train at that tweets about Obama's address speaking on the russian hacking in the first place.
