BREAKING: Senate Intelligence Committee subpoenaes Flynn

God I can't wait for the movie, it's gonna be so good. Love All The Presidents Men.

Mads Mikkelsen as Putin needs to happen 100%

BREAKING: Senate Intelligence Committee subpoenaes Flynn

Let's fucking GO.

 

[Escape Goat]

Trey Gowdy would be a great FBI director. He knows how to keep investigations going.

 

[CHC]

What would be in these documents that Flynn just got the subpoena for?

 

[Saganator]

What a shit storm and a half. Trump's meeting with the Russian diplomats being closed off to American media but not Russian media should be a huge story, but there is so much shit swirling in the air, it's just one of the things that's happened in the past couple of days.

Hehe, his brother already plays Putin on House of Cards.

Yes, only ones involving people with the last name of "Clinton".

As much as I disagree with their stupid ID laws, I've always felt a better use of the money would be to just get IDs to people instead of just talking about it politically.

Republicans don't want everyone to have ID.

I can see major civil unrest, but I'm not sure how a civil war could ever happen in this country in modern society.

Same as anywhere else. IEDs. IEDs everywhere.

 

[Escape Goat]

That's the joke. You win some of my belly button lint.

 

[benjipwns]

What would be in these documents that Flynn just got the subpoena for?

I assume the ones he hasn't given the House committee either:

Chaffetz and the Committee’s ranking Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), both signed a 22 March 2017 letter asking for information including security clearances, documents relating to Flynn’s contacts with foreign nationals and government officials, and payments received by Flynn from foreign sources. In the letter, the committee asked for the documents by 3 April 2017.

Thanks, I knew you were being faceatious. Gowdy is a turd nugget.

 

[Loxley]

Part of me believes that Trump genuinely thinks that by firing Comey this whole Russia thing will just go away now. Like, completely. The media will stop reporting on it, democrats will forget about it, and he will go on to be the Greatest President Ever.

Trump never formed object permanence as a child. If you hide your hands behind your back he forgets where they went.

Think Trump may have caused the Streisand effect here.

In his attempt to kill the investigation he's drawn more attention to it.

[super-heated plasma]

Man. The Toobin guy on CNN just said, Trump wins and the investigations will fade away. God, I hope he's wrong.

Neat, didn't know that.

 

[Angry Grimace]

shame it doesn't stick for long

Perhaps, but the Culture of Corruption was a pretty big deal in the 2006 midterms and the current Gerrymander is built on slim margins.

This is absolutely what happened. It was a desperate move and it backfired gloriously.

Crystal clear obstruction of justice, as if that was ever in doubt.

 

[Master Yoshi]

Same as anywhere else. IEDs. IEDs everywhere.

I just can't see that happening here over politics, no matter how corrupt.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Thats probably Trumps metaphorical dream state take on what the IC is doing to his legacy

They promised me an impeachment and investigations then too. And all I got was Donald Trump as President.

How Every Lawmaker Has Reacted to Comey’s Firing So Far

Thanks for this!

Actually thanks to all of you guys for your work in reposting tweets and stuff...I don't post that much but I do follow this very carefully and have been contacting senators, signing petitions, attending local protests, etc. GAF helps keep track of this shit.

Everyone knows this, they either accept it or deny it because they have a R next to their name. There is no logical reason to fire him NOW other than the fact that he kept pushing the investigation.

 

[jelly]

It would be funny if someone convinced Trump to fire him so it would lead to his impeachment. His name is Gary and he plays chess.

So liberal icon Tulsi Gabbard has said nothing at all?

lol

 

[astroturfing]

Yall...

I still can't get over Spicer hiding behind some bushes and telling people to turn off lights.

This is a grown ass man.

lol what..? what is this about? been playing Dark Souls 3 all day so i haven't kept up.

this tragicomedy is moving too fast :/

I don't think this Comey firing story is garnering any interest in the OT. Mods?....close thread?

(Trump evil laugh)

 

[Angry Grimace]

Actually you got a Democratic Congress and Barack Obama for 8 years. If you were somehow expecting that scandal to stick to the GOP for 12 years, I don't know what to tell you.

 

[Nafai1123]

As long as peoples quality of life stays relatively the same, yeah I don't see it happening. Drastically change peoples quality of life and who knows wtf will happen.

Eh... Sadly, it is not crystal clear. At least, in the eyes of the law.

I still feel funny every time I hear them mention Trumps tweeting on the news. What a time to be alive.

Sure, Trump had the legal authority to do what he did, but nobody can honestly doubt his intent.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Has anyone in the media acknowledged the fact Trump is happily shaking hands with two dossier Russians but refused to shake Merkel's hand?

3 pictures are worth 3 thousand words.
