So Trump gets impeached before the 5:30 national news?
In moments of crisis, presidents tend to revert to the traits that got them to the pinnacle. Nixon, stubborn and righteous, dug in as the Watergate morass deepened. “Stonewalling,” it was called, and he repeatedly refused to give up the tapes and do ents that investigators and the public demanded.
In 1973, at his first news conference after the Saturday Night Massacre, Nixon reflected on the media frenzy sparked by his decision. “It is true that to be under a constant barrage, 12 to 15 minutes a night on each of the three major networks for four months, tends to raise some questions in the people’s minds with regard to the president,” he said. “But now we must move on from Watergate to the business of the people.”
Echoes of that strategy resounded right after the Comey firing as the president’s aides tried to brush aside concerns about the Russia investigation.
“It’s time to move on,” Sanders said late Tuesday. “Frankly, it’s time to focus on the things the American people care about.”
Trump's intel bosses reiterate: Russia meddled in election
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trumps-in...155658636.htmlAsked whether they believed the intelligence community's January assessment that Russia was responsible for hacking and leaking information to influence the elections was accurate, all six spy and law enforcement bosses appearing before the panel said "yes."
They included Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, CIA director Mike Pompeo and acting FBI director Andrew McCabe, newly installed after Trump fired the agency's chief James Comey this week.
In an overview, Coats told the panel: "We assess that Russia is likely to be more aggressive in foreign global affairs, more unpredictable in its approach to the United States, and more authoritarian in its approach to domestic policies and politics."
He also cited and quoted the intelligence community's annual "Worldwide Threat Assessment" released today, which details past, present and future threats from Russia.
"Moscow has a highly advanced offensive cyber program, and in recent years the Kremlin has assumed a more aggressive cyber posture," it says.
"This aggressiveness was evident in Russia's efforts to influence the 2016 US election, and we assess that only Russia's senior-most officials could have authorized the 2016 US election-focused data thefts and disclosures, based on the scope and sensitivity of the targets."
The magic "R" means that Trump didn't do it, so no investigation is needed.
Got it, wad. Loud and clear. I really wish you would get the out of my country.
LOL
"The Republican controlled committees that didn't hold any hearings didn't find anything, I'm satisfied."
What a shocker. Party over country, up and down the ranks.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...liner-as-next/Putin reportedly eyeing hardliner as next envoy to Trump’s Washington
For all the talk of their budding bromance, Russian President Vladimir Putin is widely reported to be ready to select a well-known military hardliner as his new ambassador to Donald Trump’s Washington.
Anatoly Antonov, who was just transferred to the Foreign Ministry last month after five years as deputy defense minister, is the main candidate to be the new U.S. ambassador, replacing the departing Amb. Sergey Kislyak, the Moscow newspaper Kommersant said.
According to a report in the news website Russia Beyond the Headlines, Kommersant cited four sources within the Russian government who named Mr. Antonov, who in 2015 was placed on a European Union sanctions list for his role in Moscow’s policy toward Ukraine, as Mr. Putin’s choice for the critical diplomatic post.

The Democrats on the intel communities are already backing away and saying no evidence.
This will be a let down for you
GOP previously sued them for fraud
http://www.latimes.com/politics/wash...htmlstory.htmlSenate Intelligence Committee leaders caused a stir when they abruptly left a congressional hearing on world threats to meet with Deputy Atty. Gen. Rod Rosenstein. Speculation swirled that the meeting signaled a development in the ongoing saga of why President Trump fired James Comey as FBI director.
The media gathered outside the meeting, but when senior committee members Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.) emerged, they said Comey’s firing wasn’t discussed.
Rather, the senators said, the meeting was about how the their committee's probe into Russian activities during last year’s election could proceed without interfering with the FBI’s investigation into the matter
I'm sure you would like everybody to believe that.
Somehow I don't think that firing the FBI director is going to convince anybody there is "no evidence".
Keep spinning though. It digs the hole deeper.
Drip Drip Drip.Senate Intelligence Committee subpoenas Michael Flynn for Russia investigation
WASHINGTON – The Senate Intelligence Committee announced late Wednesday that it sent a subpoena to former national security adviser Michael Flynn for information about communications with Russian officials that might be relevant to the panel’s investigation into Russia’s interference with the 2016 election.
They think they can just draw this out for 4 years
Honestly, if Russia was going to help anybody win it'd be the woman who signed over the rights to 20% of our uranium.
Senate Intel Committee Asks Treasury Dept. For Trump Team’s Financial Info
The Senate Intelligence Committee has asked the Treasury Department for financial information related to President Donald Trump, his senior officials and his campaign staffers, CNN reported Tuesday.
“We’ve made a request, to FinCEN in the Treasury Dept, to make sure, not just for example vis-a-vis the President, but just overall our effort to try to follow the intel no matter where it leads,” Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) told CNN, referring to the Treasury Department’s criminal investigation division. “You get materials that show if there have been, what level of financial ties between, I mean some of the stuff, some of the Trump-related officials, Trump campaign-related officials and other officials and where those dollars flow—not necessarily from Russia.”
Warner is the ranking Democrat on the committee, which is probing Russia’s interference into the 2016 election. He said the request was made in cooperation with committee Chair Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC).

In interviews with CNN, a number of House and Senate lawmakers said that they expect both panels' investigations to drag on well into the fall -- and possibly even into 2018. And there is a high degree of skepticism over whether the two panels would eventually be able to reach any sort of bipartisan agreement on a central question: Did the Russians privately coordinate with Trump officials in an attempt to sway the elections?
DRIP DRIP DRIP
I think we should spend at least as much time and money on this as the Benghazi investigations.
, let's add whatever they are spending on all the Mar-a-Lago golf trips.
I wonder how many golf trips trump will rack up in the next four years.
1/16th of the way through his first term... 17 trips...
16*16 or so.
256 golf trips for the er that said he would be too busy in the white house working.![]()
The White House Keeps Changing Its Story About Why James Comey Was Fired
http://time.com/4776388/james-comey-...ump-interview/President Trump’s assertion Thursday that he had planned to fire FBI Director James Comey before receiving a memo from top Justice Department officials shattered the White House’s explanation of the events leading to the highly unusual move and exacerbated his Administration's growing credibility problem.
Speaking to NBC News, Trump told interviewer Lester Hold that he “was going to fire [Comey] regardless of the recommendation” of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who wrote a memo outlining the case for Comey's dismissal after a meeting at the White House on Monday. Trump's comments contradicted the shifting White House account of the motive behind Comey's ouster, and cast the narratives offered by Vice President Mike Pence and Trump's top two spokespeople into doubt, suggesting that they either lied to reporters or were misled themselves.
The White House said on Tuesday night that Rosenstein had independently recommended that Trump relieve Comey of his responsibilities because of his mishandling of the Clinton email investigation. Trump's remarks to NBC revealed that narrative to be a sham. With Comey overseeing a federal investigation of whether Trump's associates were linked to Russians interference in the 2016 election, the question of motive is paramount.
The shifting story raises new questions about the White House’s assertion that Trump was acting in the best interests of the bureau, as well as whether he was getting rid of Comey to impede the Russia investigation.
Trump keeps changing the narrative. Makes it hard for the shills to keep their story straight.
What will it be tomorrow?
Let me know what your Dear Leaders wants you to say.
he's working while on the golf course!
just out of curiosity, lets say Hillary won the presidency but Comey was still investigating her. she then fires him before his investigation is complete. would you trump s be cool with that? or would the blood leaking from your asses be flooding the streets faster than looters during Katrina? i think i know the answer tbh
We all know the answer. These ers would be screaming bloody murder.
http://time.com/4774551/donald-trump...innipiac-poll/President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen to a near record low with significant losses among white voters with no college degree, white men and independent voters, a new poll has found.
The survey, conducted by Quinnipiac University among nationwide participants, found that Trump has a 36% approval rating compared to 58% who disapprove of him. The number is down from Quinnipiac's April 19 poll, which found a 40% approval rating, and just 1% higher than his lowest-ever rating since he became president.
Drip....
Bleeding out of your asses while playing the what if Hillary was President game![]()
