Flynn in major trouble for speaking to Russia about sanctions

[TSA]

No, actually you didn't.

So you don't have evidence they were mistaken. They said Russia.

If they were mistaken the intelligence community, now led by Trump, would know about it.

Does Trump not want this information to get out?

Yes, actually I did.

[RandomGuy]

Pretty much.

The general, non-partisan analysis I read indicated as much.

Good to see that it was confirmed by someone with some integrity though.

[Pavlov]

I didn't make a claim I asked you a question you either didn't see or dodged.

"Which company worked with the Russian lawyer and do you think any questions about the connection will come up in questioning?"

Again, just say what your theory is. What is the matter with you?

Oh, that question you asked in order to dodge answering my question?

You're doing it again. You get all worked up and post too fast and accuse me of dodging questions. Start at the top of the page and slow down.

They are obviously just letting her incriminate herself further since it was already an open and shut case, right?

[TSA]

Again, just say what your theory is. What is the matter with you?

This isn't about a theory.

I'm simply asking if you or RG think the connection of Dems/Fusion GPS/Russian Lawyer will come up in questioning. Do you?

[RandomGuy]

No clue. No clue at all.

If it has nothing to do with your theory, there is no reason to ask this question.

We're discussing your theory. Not playing a leading questions game.

Samantha Powers, not Rice.

[RandomGuy]

While Mueller’s team has largely avoided leaks, it’s believed that his work will stretch well into 2018 if not later. But a grand jury meeting in Washington would add to the carnival atmosphere that already prevails around this White House. Proceeding would attract stakeouts as the press tried to determine who was testifying, as happened during the investigation into who in the Bush administration leaked the name of CIA official Valerie Plame. Nearly 20 years ago, in August 1998, Bill Clinton became the first and only sitting president to testify before a grand jury. He was ultimately impeached for lying to that grand jury.

I guess we may get to see Trump having to testify at some point.

Especially since he wrote Uday's statmenent.

Actually we are discussing the news of a grand jury, and my question has to do with the grand jury being empaneled and the meeting that took place.

I don't care if you want to dodge it again I will wait for RG to answer.

No clue. No clue at all.

I appreciate you at least answering.

Samantha Powers, not Rice.

While Susan Rice is defending as routine her requests for the iden ies of Americans caught up in surveillance of foreign targets, others who’ve served in the intelligence community and at high levels of government say the former national security adviser's requests were quite unusual.

“From my direct experience dealing at this level, that is never done,” retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer told Fox News. Shaffer has experience in intelligence operations focused on foreign actors in which U.S. citizens’ involvement could surface.

“The national security adviser person is a manager position, not an analyst position,” he said. “You have analysts in the intelligence community whose job is to sort through who is doing what with what. Susan Rice is a senior manager looking over the entire intelligence community. She should not have time to be unmasking individuals having conversations. It’s insane. It’s never done.”

Ex-CIA analyst Fred Fleitz agreed in a Fox News op-ed.

“Rice’s denials don’t add up,” Fleitz wrote. “It is hard to fathom how the demasking of multiple Trump campaign and transition officials was not politically motivated.”

It just keeps getting worse for the Obama admin. The same FISA warrant Susan Rice was using to unmask US persons and disseminate throughout the White House was based on a dossier paid for by Trump opposition and compiled by a guy who was never in Russia to actually gather and verify intel

Every accused Trump team member willing to testify
Susan Rice declines to testify
http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/03/politi...ussia-hearing/

Susan Rice subpoenaed before any Trump member

It's really too bad Susan Rice declined to testify there have been quite a few questions on unmasking Clapper and Yates have no problem answering. What is Rice hiding from.

Susan Rice needs to be subpoenaed asap. Get this party started.

The only person who could have done damage was Susan Rice and she declined to testify because the damage done wouldn't be in her favor.

This thread will go down in Spurstalk history as the political forums GOAT when the only person indicted is Susan Rice

The only people that have declined to testify have been Susan Rice and James Comey. Think about it.

uh oh Susan Rice

compliance problems and minimization not being followed by the NSA and FBI

Called this long ago....they are trying to stretch this out for the rest of his term, only to have the grand jury no bill it at the end.

[Pavlov]

I don't care if you want to dodge it again I will wait for RG to answer.

It all has to do with your theory that Fusion GPS set up the meeting. You have yet to explain why the Russians needed them.

I'm waiting.

Is it me or are all of the liberals that always complain about memes posting a load of memes in this thread?

Impressed at the quick turn around time on your post.

Susan Rice didn’t do anything wrong, Trump administration finds: report

Barack Obama's former national security adviser, vilified by conservative media, didn't do anything wrong

A new report reveals that President Donald Trump’s national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, does not believe that his predecessor, Susan Rice, did anything wrong in unmasking the iden ies of Trump transition officials.

“National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster has concluded that Rice did nothing wrong, according to two U.S. intelligence officials who spoke to me on condition of anonymity,” wrote Eli Lake of Bloomberg.

“That might explain why Trump has yet to declassify more information on the prior administration’s unmasking requests.”

Dont have a mini stroke or anything.

i "complain" when people use memes as fact... like a picture of trump with a caption "he erased the deficit!" and then using that meme as a source of argument

its basically just Chris and Thread that do that, though

You'll be waiting a while. RG already answered the question I asked of him.

[RandomGuy]

I don't see how he can avoid it at this point.

Neither do I.

The obstruction of justice case is probably going to be the thing that ultimately sinks him, and given that I have seen rumors that more than a few of them are starting to think Trump is somehow mentally deficient, i.e. dementia, I am not sure they are going to risk their necks in any impeachment vote. Some of the speculation is that Trump is removing his senior staff at the cabinet level because he is paranoid of them triggering the 25th.

Muellers work will continue well into the next election cycle for midterms. Everything is shaping up to be a total disaster for the GOP, and if they lose the house, Trump will be removed, one way or the other.

5th or 25th.
