Illegal leaks!

Just more propaganda!

Or at least that's what the Russian propaganda in DC tells me.

 

[jiggle]

Only 1 5oclock scoop for today?

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

What in the world is needed beyond this?

For the GOP to reach the point where supporting him will be absolutely disastrous for them.

 

[B-Dubs]

Only 1 5oclock scoop for today?

NYTimes had one about Flynn lying to the guys doing his security clearance.

 

[Corto]

Lock him up already.

 

[EatinOlives]

“The problem wasn’t so much asking them to issue statements, it was asking them to issue false statements about an ongoing investigation,” a former senior intelligence official said of the request to Coats.

Trump is so

so

so

so

so

so

fucked

 

[Prof. Bathtub]

It sometimes does feel like the weekend bell rings every time the administration is on the ropes. The pressure is pretty relentless at the moment though, so let's hope the pace can be kept.

 

[NullPointer]

For the GOP to reach the point where supporting him will be absolutely disastrous for them.

I was thinking more along the lines of the argument that while Trump's actions seemed maybe like obstruction, they didn't specifically reach the threshold of a crime. Can we blow that out of the water now?

Trump has told us what was in his mind. He's told us all and the Russians what he wanted as a result of firing Comey. And we have a dated paper trail of obstruction.

And CNN had story giving some details about state and direction of Mueller's investigation: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=237717906

 

[ggx2ac]

It felt like only yesterday that Trump was threatening Comey with "tapes"[sic] but everyone has notes on Trump trying to obstruct the Russia investigation​.

 

[Squire]

Huh, this reminds me of something, but I'm not sure what.

Water polo?

 

[Deku Tree]

Has McCain expressed his strong concerns yet?

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

For the GOP to reach the point where supporting him will be absolutely disastrous for them.

I believe they honestly think only Flynn will go down.

Senior intelligence officials also saw the March requests as a threat to the independence of U.S. spy agencies, which are supposed to remain insulated from partisan issues.

“The problem wasn’t so much asking them to issue statements, it was asking them to issue false statements about an ongoing investigation,” a former senior intelligence official said of the request to Coats.

False statements.

CNN just touched on this. They said Coats has insight of the investigation so that implies there's collusion. But then they moved on from that.

 

[Maxim726X]

So... Multiple cases of obstruction of justice?

Man, it's getting harder and harder to see how he stays in office at this rate. Don't see how at least one of these stories won't stick.

For sure. Honestly thankful for weekends. Gives me time to read over and digest all the offerings of the week. It's actually overwhelming.

 

[jelly]

Helicopter ride....

Trump "We aren't going to the White House?"

"No Sir"

Trump "Read Trumps mind, golf, steak and ketchup at Mar a Lago. Sounds good"

"No Sir, off site for FBI pick up, you might want to take this cufflinks off, you will be getting new cuffs of sort"

 

[Einchy]

Has McCain expressed his strong concerns yet?

CNN is reporting that he will shake his head once and sigh slightly.

 

[B-Dubs]

Probably because it'll be infinitely easier to prove obstruction. I mean, Trump literally went around telling anyone who would listen that he wanted to obstruct justice.

 

[NullPointer]

And now flat out discussing Flynn's lies. 1. The his Russian trip was paid for by American companies (not true, it was Russians), and that 2. Flynn had no contacts with Russian government officials (except sitting at the table with Putin).

 

[Xando]

Going after the IC and get them in trouble by allies not trusting Trump will destroy his presidency.
The NSA probably knows so much shit about Trump by now.

 

[smurfx]

bet you trump regrets not giving giuliani and christie important positions since they are both just as corrupt as he is.

 

[Boke1879]

and he's still out of the country. He's going to come back to all of this.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Get ready for President Ryan, y'all!


Edit: wow Chritie got something to say too.

 

[rokkerkory]

Release his taxes too please.

 

[gutter_trash]

He was just kidding /s

 

[lastplayed]

and he's still out of the country. He's going to come back to all of this.

Air Force One be like

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

and he's still out of the country. He's going to come back to all of this.

He's most likely been watching this on the flight, inbetween EVERY events, and every night.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

This is a clear as day textbook definition of obstruction of justice and an impeachable offense right???

I don't see how even Teflon Don gets out of this, but... He's Teflon Don.

 

[Beer Monkey]

Trump isn't going to sleep on this trip. Expect more unforced errors.

 

[Mifune]

A friend said he thinks Trump will resign by the end of the summer and I'm more and more inclined to agree with each news barrage. Plus he already looks like a dead man walking, there are reports of stamina issues. Dude is gonna cut and run at the first opportunity. That way he can claim victimhood and victory (since he left on his own terms).

Congress still has to do something. Unless they move nothing will change.

Even if he did resign, I don't think this Russian investigation is going to end abruptly because of it.

 

[jelly]

I don't mind if he resigns but he still needs taken down afterwards, his business, associates, others etc. Don't let him walk away and forget about it.

The State of the Union is gonna be amazing.

Oh god no. Everyone in the administration is fucked. Everyone.

 

[Maxim726X]

Sure, but if they're looking at blatant Obstruction charges... They'll have to do something eventually. His approval gets any lower and they may want to toss his ass overboard.

What are the chances that Pence/Ryan/Hatch would pardon Trump, assuming they aren't implicated as well?

 

[Auto_aim1]

M.O.R.O.N. How are people in DC not laughing at this guy?

 

[Mifune]

His businesses will crash and burn if he flees the presidency or gets ousted. He will become a laughingstock (more than he is already, even).

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

They are.

 

[Schucky Ducky]

NYT and WaPo going for the Tag Team World Championship.

 

[Metalingus5150]

Got a WaPo sub.

It didn't work so well for Gerald Ford, but the GOP has shown that they love to forget history.

 

[Megasoum]

Dude on CNN just brought Benghazi into the mix hahaha

 

[Kettch]

I get the feeling that we're not too far away from the "Trump didn't know what he was doing, he's new to all of this" excuse being used.

 

[Mifune]

He's learning on the job. I feel like I've already seen someone say that.

 

[yanipheonu]

Even Nixon wasn't this dumb.

I've heard former Watergate reporters, when asked what makes Trump different than Nixon, respond "Nixon wasn't this incompetent."

 

[mercenar1e]

I bet Mike Pence has a speech already written for when he becomes the president.
