Republicans’ Big Lie About Trump and Russia
Collusion wasn’t a hoax and Trump wasn’t exonerated.
There are two very big lies that Donald Trump and his sycophants have used,
through aggressive, bombastic repe ion,
to shape the public debate about impeachment, and
about Trump’s legitimacy more broadly.
The first big lie is that
“the people” elected Trump, and that
the cons utional provision of impeachment would invalidate their choice.
In fact, Trump is president only because a cons utional provision invalidated the choice of the American people.
The second big lie is that Russia didn’t help elect Trump, and that the president has been absolved of collusion.
the Mueller report found abundant evidence that
the campaign sought Russian help,
benefited from that help and
obstructed the F.B.I. investigation into Russian actions.
His investigation resulted in felony convictions for Trump’s former campaign chairman, deputy campaign chairman, personal lawyer, first national security adviser, and longtime political adviser, among others.

Tucker Carlson Claims He Was Only Joking When He Said
‘I’m Serious, Why Shouldn’t I Root for Russia, Which I Am’
he earnestly said he was rooting for Russia in the ongoing war with Ukraine,
His brief clarification, tucked into the very last seconds of his show, came after his earlier comments had stoked thousands of retweets worth of outrage and derision online.

Kevin McCarthy’s Pro-Trump Ad Uses Stock Video Footage From Russia
posted a 30-second ad on Monday that
praised President Donald Trump for “getting things done”
despite the House impeachment investigation into Trump’s misuse of U.S. foreign policy,
which includes Trump pushing a conspiracy theory about Ukraine propagated by Russia.
something ironic about the video: Some of the stock footage came from Russia.

Repugs are now, have been, at point where they "Yes, we are compromised by Pootin, so ing what? Eat our , America"
Exactly like Trash confessing the quid pro quo as if that were illegal, yes, but no big deal. Eat my , America"
Repugs are aren't stupid.
They know Trash and his mafiya are guilty,
guilt more verified, more elaborated with every witness,
but they know that can LIE to their and Trash's ignorant, stupid cult mob will eat that lie as it were the best BBQ
Maddow reveals the book ‘you want to read’ to understand Trump’s unexplained ties to Russia
The book Crime in Progress: Inside the Steele Dossier and the Fusion GPS Investigation of Donald Trump was written by Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch, the co-founders of Fusion GPS.
The host interviewed Simpson and Fritsch, who discussed why actions by Congressional Republicans backfired and allowed the book to be published — plus the “enduring mystery” over Trump’s ties to Russia.

Russian operatives are back for the 2020 election —
and have an insidious new strategy
As accomplices, way too many of us were easily — willingly, in many cases — hoodwinked into sharing and retweeting propaganda designed to elect Donald Trump and, amid the chaos, undermine Western democracy.
Putin and his operatives recognized a significant weakness here —
the semi-distracted, drive-by gullibility of American social media users.
As much as it pains me to say it, Putin was right.
We might even be more gullible than he forecasted.
Darren Linvill and Patrick Warren, just published a mind-blowing article for Rolling Stone about the next generation of active measures emerging from the ashes of the Robert Mueller-indicted Internet Research Agency (IRA).
the IRA was folded into the Federal News Agency in Russia, which, like the IRA, is reportedly financed by Yevgeny Prigozhin, nicknamed “Putin’s chef.”
And, naturally, the Kremlin’s active measures continue today under that barely disguised shingle.
a version of the classic bait-and-switch trick — simple enough if you know it’s coming, but just clever enough to outwit those of us who are most susceptible.
a Twitter account known as @IamTyraJackson posted a thing about NFL athlete Warrick Dunn’s charity work. The goal here was to build a massive audience for the account by tweeting something innocent yet irresistible. And irresistible it was, ac ulating a colossal 290,000 likes.
The @IamTyraJackson account was gratefully suspended,
but not before the IRA gained all kinds of new followers for the short lifespan of the account,
subsequently hammering those followers with disinformation —
again, baiting followers with something sweet and cuddly,
then bludgeoning them with “messages promoting division, distrust, and doubt,”
Another IRA front, known as @PoliteMelanie, was given a very specific yet nefarious mission.
Driving apart the United States is exactly the point.
the Melanie account tweeted the results of a fake poll aimed at “educated, urban, left-wing Americans.” In the end,
the account managed to build a following of 20,000 people, aided by the poll and its 300,000 likes.
The fake poll, by the way, suggested that
55 percent of conservatives believed “ sapiens” (sic) should be disowned by their family.
And yes, apparently well-educated liberals were duped.

stalling
Prosecutors are stalling? ok
Sen. John Kennedy now says
his parroting of pro-Russian conspiracy theories was
just an accident
The dumbest man in the U.S. Senate—
I said Senate, so sit down, Louie Gohmert—
on Sunday told incredulous Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace that Russia might or might not have hacked Democratic National Committee servers during the 2016 election,
burping out that even though the entire United States intelligence community has determined that it did,
"It could also be Ukraine."https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/11/26/1902062/-Sen-John-Kennedy-now-says-his-parroting-of-pro-Russian-conspiracy-theories-was-just-an-accident
Kennedy KNOWS his Louisiana voters are stupid enough to listen to him
Prosecutors are stalling? ok
I'm reading that the judge has to force the government to supply all exculpatory evidence or just throw out the case.
Brady v Maryland
you can just post the twitter embed tbh
It's going to be difficult for Flynn since he already plead guilty to lying. Unless this 'exculpatory evidence' can be construed to have made him lie, there's really not much to go on there.
Lawyers begging a court to dismiss a case is what happens when there is no other recourse and your client is legally ed
its the “hail mary” of law lolol
No, his lawyer went on Fox the night before and said the IG report had "everything" or some such . The prosecutors are just responding in kind since it's not a long time.Prosecutors are stalling? ok
for a guy who supposedly was forced to plead guilty 2 years ago because of mounting legal costs, he's sure spent a lot of time keeping his case going
lol you your pants
lol no, you can look back at her interview on Fox News
Of course it makes sense. Small delay to take away your talking point.
jk guys it was never about horowitz always huber and durham
