All I'm saying is that if I was Kellystan, I'd take the money and run.
Sticking around just to bullshit is only going to arouse more suspicion.
EDIT: Bleaugh...Mike Pompeo. Where does Trump keep finding these assholes?

The CIA, or any American intelligence agency, are not the only people investigating and certainly not the only people with access to sources and information useful in an investigation. He might be able to appoint people sympathetic to him but it will accomplish little.

If any info leaked will just be as useful as the Steele leak. If the people calling the shots wont want to act on it, it will be just another story for the pile.
I just start to think that it wont matter if the global intelligence agencies have proof and made it public at that point.

Good interview with CIA director Brennan. He seems genuinely pissed off by Trump's "IC = Nazis" comments.
That "neither denial nor confirmation" when he tells Wallace they would have shared any solid intelligence about Russian ties to Trump's camp with the FBI is intriguing.
Almost like he passes the buck to Comey for not having acted sooner.

She looks dreadful lol
If the media get their hands on damning info they can corroborate there is no cover any more. The moment that happens Republicans will turn on Trump as a unit.
I think she's almost finished the ritual to become a Lich, though. Ladies doin' it for themselves.

must be why she puts on makeup with a bucket.
Republicans have been almost entirely silent after the closed-door briefings and announcement of the senate investigation, neither confirming or denying anything. Just a few days ago they didn't want any investigations and now several have begun and they've gone quiet. It's... interesting and could mean any number of things.... Thinking of dumping Trump, riding it out, how to spin this, etc.
He doesn't see like the type to stand front and centre. Seems like he avoids it and just wants to be in the shadows.

Dude would lose in 2020, and it would be at the cost of maybe being assassinated by a Russian agent in 5 years and the alienation of your parties base?
It is probably the only way that guy is ever becoming president but I think the GOP is so rotten it might just go along with trump for the foreseeable future.

Is that why he was Romney's VP and took over as Speaker of the House after Boehner left? And took a highly visible role as chairman of the budget committee ("the Ryan budget")?

Sure, if he wanted to inherit a country that is reeling from corruption of the highest order. Everything he did would be deeply scrutinized and many people, Democrats and Republicans alike, would not consider him legitimate. He'd be out of office the second 2020 hits.

It's still a pulling strings gig. I'm not saying he can't do a speech or whatever but I don't think he wants the top job.

I am 100% sure the reason Trump is pushing for a meeting with Putin as soon as possible is because he needs an excuse in order to call for the removal of sanctions, otherwise the GOP can't remove them, but they just want an excuse to proceed.
Trump already has this figured out, and feels that if at worst he can't stay as president for long, removing the sanctions will have been worth it for his post-presidency life, since it brings billions back in many companies/people's pockets and probably clears off a lot of his own debts.
"Today I met with Vladimir Putin, and we have agreed that for the sake of global security and peace we must combine our efforts to fight against Islamic terrorists around the globe. In order to establish good relationships between our two countries and fight this global threat together and with our allies, I am calling for congress to remove the Obama sanctions placed on Russia so that we can move forward as soon as possible."
GOP removes sanctions, done.

It's one thing to believe Islam is "imposing" itself on urban America. It's outright delusional to believe it has any significant impact on "small-town" America.
Senate wouldn't, I would be shocked if McCain, Graham, Collins and Rubio to name just 4 agreed to that.

Nah, if it were true, she'd already look like this by now:
Well, he's scummy enough, but he doesn't have the balls. Paul Ryan is the epitome of the cowardly politician.

Probably best case scenario at this point. A Dem should easily take back the presidency in 2020.

Could be the strongest wave of change yet, if this shithole of a presidency blows up.
How can Republicans come back from literally putting in a treasonous sack of shit?
You are overestimating it. Even if he were banged to rights for the treasonous fuck he is. At least 40% of the country would still vote for him. They are too far gone.

Either Trump pandering to the insane evangelical zealots who make up a core part of the modern GOP base, or Pence whispering in Trump's ear. (The CIA pick isn't just a delusional islamophobe, but also a extremely virulent homophobe who thinks gay people represent America embracing "disease".)
He will leave that aside and do his job right?
They might be crazy but surely the job isn't dictated by their beliefs. I'm hoping.

Trump strongly denies all this, the dossier has zero public evidence behind it, and it should be treated with skepticism. But it reflects an unprecedented uncertainty: There is a disorienting kernel of doubt about whether we can fully trust the man who will occupy the Oval Office.
So is our new president a Russian poodle?

I just wanna say... out of all the names implicated in this large conspiracy... I expected the surrogates, Trump himself, Manafort, etc...
What I did not expect was for JILL FUCKING STEIN to be accused as a Russian plant for the sake of cultivating discord among the liberal base.
I had a friend on my Facebook accusing me (a Black man) of being the real racist because I voted for Hillary, who he believed had KKK funding, instead of Stein.
Now, months later, after de-friending him and nearly whooping his ass, the other shoe has dropped. Can't believe I wasted breath on trying to debate with him about this shit, lol.

Well, a few months ago everyone thought the Republican party was dead and divided with Trump running for President. And now they hold more power then ever. So you never know.
Clump of dust.
Stein was at RT gala dinners with Putin, who was sat next to Flynn. I mean this was known well before the dossier.

I think trying to remove the sanctions is exactly what Obama wants Trump to do. Not to get all "3D Chess" or anything, but that was certainly the point of Obama extending them. It places Trump in a very difficult position.
