Watching Rachel?

[cilla4progress]

Here we go. Lock stock and barrel.

Now she's going to my question: why is this rolling disclosure all happening now?

[theglammistress]

1. Will the rats start jumping ship

or turning on each other, covering butts? Will Trump twist in the wind. I hope.

[GP6971]

3. I prefer hanging

from the yardarm for treason.

[sarcasmo]

49. Send Ryan to China and force him to work in an iphone sweat shop.

[GP6971]

2. I'm recording it to watch after Lawerence n/t

[chillfactor]

4. little by little.....

Rachel and her research team are putting the puzzle together...piece by piece by piece.

[femmocrat]

5. For those without MSNBC.....

She just announced that tonight she will explore whether Russian influence ended after the campaign or if it is still an ongoing operation within the administration.

Should be good.

[Stand and Fight]

7. Thank you. n/t

[bettyellen]

6. Now she's going to talk about if the Russian influence continues in the WH....

I was wondering if a reason DT couldn't find out about investigations or get denials was that they're still going on.

[Doreen]

8. Does a bear crap in the woods?

I always watch Rachel. Both at 6 and 9. Gotta watch it twice in case I miss something.

[notdarkyet]

34. Me too.

[butdiduvote]

9. I'm trying to remain hopeful and patient

But I'm getting really burnt out on all of this "Exclusive bombshell report!!" every night from her, only for absolutely nothing to be mentioned of it the next day.

[kstewart33]

11. Be patient.

Her ratings are at an all-time high. People are watching.

[DesertRat]

13. I wonder if 45 is watching

[butdiduvote]

28. I'm more talking about how nothing ever comes of the stories, legally

More people on the internet talking about them while our reps don't do shit about any of it will just burn me out more.

[jmg257]

33. Didnt see anyting "bombshell" tonight - more/minor dossier dot connecting.

[Hekate]

48. "Lenin Prize Tillerson" has hollowed out the State Dept. Trump never even met the guy before...

...appointing him to be SoS. Who the hell recommended him? Who put him forward?

The day after Tillerson took office he fired everyone with experience -- I mean decades and decades of experience. You know what "institutional memory" is? He pretty much gave the US State Department a prefrontal lobotomy. Their desks are empty; they are not being replaced.

Frankly, that counts as a bombshell for me.

[jmg257]

57. Good point - I did see that Andrea Mitchell unanswered questions segment.

[lindysalsagal]

52. Incorrect: She found that the US ukraine policy was written by putin.

We are now, already, operating as a subsidiary of russia and our state department is evicerated in order to allow that to go on.

We have no international diplomacy. This will not be allowed to stand.

[jmg257]

56. That was old news - but it is part of her step through the Dossier.

[The Blue Flower]

12. She's been following up daily

Building on this story a piece at a time, doing each piece so thoroughly we have a clear understanding of the picture that's emerging.

[JI7]

53. this is just not true.

[longship]

10. Don't forget the podcast!!

If you do not have MS/NBC you can still get your Rachel fix. Point your podcast aggregator towards "Rachel Maddow" and subscribe to either the video or audio version. I only have download limited cellular connection here in the north woods, so the small 10 MB audio version suits me just fine. I grab it every night she's on. Usually posted after 11 PM ET.

[DesertRat]

14. Great reminder! I can download her podcast on the Stitcher app

[longship]

18. Her programs are never archived.

One night's program overwrites the previous night's.

So I always snag the audio podcast in case I want to relisten to it, which I sometimes do.

And annoyingly, MS/NBC is sometimes sporadic about uploading the night's program. I just keep trying.

[longship]

32. The audio version was just posted.

I expect that the video is now available, too.

[DesertRat]

58. Awesome! nt

[Greywing]

15. Truly ... Trump was not legitimately elected, Pence was part of the Russian campaign

Everything he has done or caused to be done needs to be declared illegal and undone. Tillerson out, senior diplomats recalled. Trump, Pence and his entire crew locked up in a max security prison for collusion and treason. No one is above the law! I HATE THESE MOFO'S! They all need to pay for what they have done.

[OliverQ]

20. Don't forget all the Republicans in Congress who supported these actions

[Greywing]

22. Believe me ... I don't. Cory Gardner (in my state) is running scared.

If he weren't running scared, he would never have come out against the Republican "health" plan. I predict now that he will lose his seat in 2020 ... anger against him is growing in this state.

[elmac]

41. when 50 million lose their health care

and the elderly become homeless the fascists will have much more to worry about then elections.

[triron]

38. You sum up my sentiments as well.

It's like a sports competition where the winner takes illegal drugs to win or someone intentional trips up their competitor, but everyone says "sorry, the race (or whatever) is over and they won; nothing we can do about it". wtf!!!

[uponit7771]

50. +1

[KewlKat]

16. I'm recording the rerun so I can watch tomorrow.

[OliverQ]

17. Explains Rex Tillerson

His purpose is Putin's means of destroying the State Department and our diplomatic power. And Republicans all supported him and the downfall of the State Department.

Can we ever recover from all this? Will all these actors ever face consequences?

[cilla4progress]

21. Big hole

To dig out of.

I don't t expect we will ever regain our global reputation. Very vulnerable.

[notdarkyet]

36. Comments from abroad are like "well,America used to be great"now they have

A crazy president. Poor America.

[Greywing]

24. I think Trump began digging his own grave when he accused Obama

of "tapp" and demanded an investigation. The investigation will actually uncover alot more than we already know even though Republicans are trying to protect him. 2018 elections are coming up and if they continue in stonewalling an investigation that will be a very uncomfortable election for them ...

[OliverQ]

29. Trump still has 90% Republican support

So Republicans in Congress aren't at too much risk of getting voted out yet. And the pace at which the country is being destroyed means 2 years may be too late to recover.

[elmac]

42. I give it a 70% chance

that we will be a 3rd world dictator run cesspool in 2 years.

[get the red out]

51. I am really worried

That you might be right. No honorable Rs now.

[StrictlyRockers]

19. My favorite show. Pretty much the only thing on TV I watch

Rachel is inspiring. So much research. Connecting so many dots.

[oasis]

23. Her guest, Rep. Eric Swallwell lays out Trump's Russia ties on his website.

This story is going to grow.

[cilla4progress]

25. Swalwell

2020?

Sorry! Square jaw...it's what Americans want.

[oasis]

26. Up and coming for sure. nt

[riverwalker]

27. If no cable, someone puts them on You Tube

By date of show, they are lightening fast. The last several shows are not to be missed.

[riverwalker]

30. And here it is! Link

[cilla4progress]

31. Wait. Did she answer? I was

Sort of in and out.

Why now?

[oasis]

35. Repeats at 9:pm Pacific Time. This could be the all-time blockbuster. nt

[jmg257]

37. So I got to see most of it...anything major happen??

[turbinetree]

39. It is now time to call for a special prosecutor (not a commission) and a NEW ELECTION

Rachel Maddow has connected DOTS to this crime the and the people on the intelligence committee chairman's position should remove themselves, and the people that colluded (TREASON) with this crime need to be in brought in for questioning ---------------NOW, no, if's or and's about it.

Maddow said that the election is over, no it is not----------------this Russian influence and hack made this election corrupt

If anyone from Congress was on that team, then, they need to not vote on any legislation, they have been corrupted

Every f***king republican that met or is associated with the sexual predators campaign should be be challenged because they with help of the Russians "wrote the fascists republican platform, that is the first time in "HISTORY" that has ever happened , and for them to not to know on that platform committee is absurd, that would include Nunes and Burr, and Chaffetz, Grassley, Sessions, all of them

And now Tillerson, is gutting the "state Department " for 37% of its funding, from the expose that Maddow has connected the dots to Russia, and every republican confirmed this "guy" that got the f***ing Order of Lenin planted on his suit jacket


For three nights she has laid out her case on this matter and she has exposed what has happened, and that dossier is slowly being corroborated as being fact, and if this golden shower ass**** was in that room, then the "fascist's republicans " have a choice country or party


I am going to call my congressional representatives tomorrow and demand some action, this is a republic, and it is now at stake, not some party and it's worthless agenda

[triron]

40. When Maddow made that statement about

the election being over, I thought the same thing. My comment above I reiterate
If someone cheated in a sports competition, their victory and any associated laurels are not allowed to stand. An election in a 'supposed' democracy should be sacred and be upheld at least to the ideals of sports competition.

[turbinetree]

44. This election was tainted

and as for using the sports analogy, lets take it one step forward, voting is not a sport, men and woman have died to have that moment to decide an election, that they will never have in there life again.

That, "fascist republican party" allowed the Russian's to make a deal with them, that is UN-American, and it besmirches the men and woman that lost there life to defend.

And when those elected representatives sat in a room with a Russian agent, they broke the Oath of the Constitution to uphold and defend that document, not to defend a party or a flag, or to get someone elected, but a ideal for a republic. They swore allegiance to the document, just like the men and woman that died and they should be removed from there positions all of them, before and after the rigged election, they broke that Oath

[elmac]

43. If Dems pulled the crap that the fascists did

there would be riots in the street, impeachments galore and a redo election.

[turbinetree]

46. I tell you what brother /sister

these people have broken the Oath of the Constitution to defend that document when they let a Russian agent write a platform that senators and congressmen and woman------and this is just outrageous

I agree with your premise but it has now gone into the swearing of defending the Constitution, they were still employed by us the taxpayers when they wrote that platform, and they have violated that oath

[oasis]

45. K & R

[oasis]

47. K and R

[Turbineguy]

54. I wonder if the Russians picked

Hillary Clinton as Democratic candidate because she was an easier target than Bernie Sanders. Also were the Russians involved in all the prior mudslinging against the Clinton's that ginned up the right wing?

[DeminPennswoods]

55. She's been verifying bits and pieces of Steele's dossier

Two nights ago she reported the misspelling of the name of a Russian in the dossier. That caused reporters trying to verify what the dossier said to not find anything, but when the name is spelled correctly and searched, that part of the dossier is confirmed.

Last night she talked about the GOP platform and Trump making sure the amendment for the US to send arms to Ukraine was tabled. She linked meetings that Manafort, who was Trump's campaign mgr at the time, had with a Russian in/around the time of the RNC and the action on the Ukraine platform language. Steele's dossier said that there was a quid pro quo to Russia helping Trump and that was for Trump to look the other way, as it were, on Ukraine. And we know that Trump and his allies have done that. So that part is at least circumstantially confirmed.
