Maybe trump will resign. There's no way he's sleeping with pres duties and all of this anxiety.

Special counsel is investigating Trump for possible obstruction of justice, officials

Fox in general and Hannity in particular seem to be like a moral compass. The more outraged they become, the clearer it is you're on the right track. When they're smug, satisfied and content, that's when you know you're screwed.
Maybe you should look at the data instead. There are numbers. And they just had a vote.

Yeah I saw the vote that also needs to pass the House and stand up to a most likely veto. Again, I'm not optimistic that they are now "woke" (is that the right term?).
I have literally seen piles of human feces that disgust me less than these talking points. I'm actually not joking.

Why because of asking if "woke" is the right term or because today's vote doesn't make me think that finally the Republicans have become adults and decided to stand for their country rather than their party?

HAPPY TRAPDAY TRUMP
Looks like Trump's lawyer's spokesman is off message. He said the leaks are "outrageous, inexcusable, and illegal."
The talking points state that the leaks are, in fact, "inexcusable, outrageous, and illegal."
Mind the order, Mr. Corallo!

To be fair, this E3's been a dud compared to the past couple of years.

At what fucking point for the GOP is everyone lying BUT Trump, because we've got a shitload of witnesses right now.

lol wow they're really pushing the angle that leaking information is a bigger crime than whatever is leaked
Haha, "reading" this news, that's quite the imagination you have there. We all know he can't read.

To be fair, this was also the Obama Administration's position and Graham/McCain/etc. over Snowden. I think it extends deeper into the DC mindthink than Trump.

So are going to call this Trumpgate?

I'm torn between the next leak being ready for the evening news, and getting one more jab in on his birthday.

They classify the fuck out of anything that gives them bad PR.
They don't actually care if it's sensitive or reveals sources, they just don't want the accountability to some of the disgusting shit they do.

That seems substantial.
I'm pretty confident Trump doesn't understand how perilous the situation is right now. Only when Fox & Friends explain it to him tomorrow morning will he semi-realize what is going on.
It needs to stop regardless. These leaks have been a hell of a check on what could've easily turned into a Totalitarian state.
I don't want to even see his name on it. Besides, this may be bigger than Watergate. In that case, this wouldn't need the suffix; it'd make one of its own.
I think Fox & Friends realize that, and won't do anything to ruffle his feathers.

Get ready for the "how can we trust his recollection/memos" angle
So now we have two sets of memos?
The amount of votes they got would easily override a veto.

It seems likely that today's leaks came from the NSA and Ledgett herself.
You did.

Who wants to bet that Lil Donny called way more people with the same loyalty oath shit who all took notes?
The GOP just going to try to keep throwing everyone under the bus? Again and again?
They will confirm his bias and tell him he is the victim of a witch hunt and democrats are making shit up. He'll cry about how unfair the world is on twitter around the same time.

Obviously the president said "I hope the evidence goes missing."
Nothing illegal about that!
I'm not saying they've all forever turned the corner. I'm saying they're no longer this monolithic unbreakable behemoth that always votes together and never wavers from supporting everything Trump does or says. His numbers are cratering and his most ardent supporters are leaving him quickly. It's getting to the point where republicans are weighing their future prospects against the benefit of remaining loyal now.
"In this morning's news... everything's fine! Our recent birthday boy President is not in any kind of trouble. He is a good man. The Democrats are only chasing ghosts and are mad losers. Everything is fine! Please ignore the massive inferno behind us and at the White House, that is an alternative fire"

Someday I'll hunt down what exactly got the second -gate suffix attached to it and stuck and who did it. And then we'll have a political trial. Oh will we.
Agree and all, just wanted to note that on the particular point it's an infection beyond Trump.

The longer this man is in office, the more likely it'll be tainted forever. Get him the fuck out.

Wouldn't surprise me at all at this point if he did.
I'm very curious to see where the GOP will draw the line. At this point, I kinda feel like Bruce in that episode of It's Always Sunny where he plays along with an obvious scam on Dee and Frank's part to see just how far they'll go.

The real news out of that would be the NSA's ability to recall on demand a piece of data they've collected.
Yeah... that sounds about right.
