    Finally, the criminal avenues that Mueller is pursuing through the grand jury are likely happening on a parallel track to an active counterintelligence investigation. Since the primary goal on the counterintelligence side involves identifying and thwarting the activities of Russian intelligence officers in the US, it would use investigative techniques like FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] warrants that are separate from the grand jury and remain classified to the public — and which may in the end not result in any prosecutions at all.
    Counter-intelligence angle.

    I believe someone else may have mentioned that...

    Donald Trump is no Adolf Hitler.

    Hitler was smarter, and more charismatic.

    The kinds of people who follow him on the other hand, are part and parcel of the kinds of everyday Germans who just wanted someone to Make Germany Great Again. A lot of everyday Germans had to go along, even if they never pulled triggers on executions, to allow the truly evil things that the German government ended up doing.

    When it comes to the cult-like behavior that is what worries me. One of the primary methods of indoctrinating someone into a cult is to isolate information flows.

    The cult leader is the source of the ultimate truth, and everyone else is lying. Trumpists' have been taught to believe that Trump and his state-owned media network, Fox "news" are the only people really telling the truth. Anything that paints the Dear Leader in a bad like is fake.

    It works the same in any country, in any cult.

    The Trumpist movement bears a lot of the hallmarks of early Nazi-ism, especially when it comes to identifying an external enemy, "immigrants" and making "liberals" as not patriotic enough for wanting to keep them out.

    Where this analogy really breaks down is that Trump et al. are just too incompetent to carry out any kind of pogrom, and there is more than a few decent people who will not go quietly.
    Two Fox anchors regularly criticize trump and his subordinates. Now that he has jettisoned Priebus and almost all of the neocons and other establishment I imagine that to ramp up. Hannity and Fox and Friends is what he has there.

    It is the fascist right led by his advisor's Breitbart that is his wholly.

    Trash sinking ever deeper, by his own wordvomit

    Why Trump’s Phone Call with Australia’s Prime Minister Will Haunt Him in Court

    “I hate taking these people,” President Trump said of possible immigrants to the United States, in a phone call with Malcolm Turnbull, the Australian Prime Minister. “I guarantee you they are bad.”

    “What is the thing with boats?” Trump says.

    “Why do you discriminate against boats? No, I know, they come from certain regions. I get it.”

    That line did not impress the majority of judges who have heard challenges to Trump’s executive order blocking, in its latest iteration, refugees and people from six Muslim-majority nations from entering the United States;

    indeed, a number of decisions staying the order cited it as an example of the order’s “bad faith”—a standard that would give the courts, which usually defer to the executive on immigration matters, a rationale for reviewing Trump’s action.

    And his projection of a parallel form of bad faith onto Turnbull was accompanied by remarks that may provide fodder for opponents of the executive order when it appears before the Supreme Court, this fall.

    the boats-for-regions comment seems, for a start, to have alarmed Turnbull, not least because it would have definitively demonstrated to him that Trump had not really been listening to, or understanding, a word he said.

    Turnbull had already told him, earlier in the call, “It is because in order to stop people smugglers, we had to deprive them of the product.

    Trump portrays all of the refugees as potential terrorists —“Are they going to be the Boston Bombers in five years?”

    Their different views on that point thus reveal a great deal about what the principles of the executive order actually are.

    This speaks to one of the central issues with the travel ban:

    whether it is part of a legitimate effort to make sure that unvetted, unknown people don’t enter the United States or

    is meant to exclude Muslims wholesale.

    His views are, to say the least, an unsound basis for either immigration or foreign-policy decisions. (An example of that comes in his encouragement of the police abuses in Duterte’s Philippines.)

    A couple of minutes later, Trump mentions, once again, the Boston Marathon bombers: “They said they were wonderful young men.”

    “They were Russians,” Turnbull says. “They were not from any of these countries.”


    “They were from wherever they were,” Trump replies, imagining, perhaps, any number of lands, full of people he hated, just a boat ride away.

    Gowdy votes for the appointment of a second special counsel to investigate Comey, Lynch, Hillary…



    If you want to discredit the little power you have within the government, start talking about getting a special counsel to invistigate Comey, Lynch. Obama and Hillary.

    It won't totally look like a partisan hack attack. Nope. Do it.

    Pretending that the media that isn't his brand of partisan all is run by the DNC is exactly the type of stupid Darrin would aspire to.

    Then of course there is the drive to prevent any legislation that might impact his oilco masters by any means possible.

    And fluffing any GOP candidate even if he doesn't agree with them; channeling his inner Reince Priebus.

    Oh and youtubes.

    Darrin is a ty cliche.
