Get ready for the storm.

[MelissaB]

SEN. MARK WARNER (D-Va.) hosted a dinner Friday night for more than 100 guests at his house on Martha’s Vineyard as part of the DSCC’S annual Majority Trust retreat. OVERHEARD: Warner, the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, joking to the crowd: “If you get me one more glass of wine, I’ll tell you stuff only Bob Mueller and I know. If you think you’ve seen wild stuff so far, buckle up. It’s going to be a wild couple of months.”

It sounds like we should all buckle up, but I think I'm ready for the storm.

[OhNo-Really]

1. So the ICE inhumanity ramp up is cover for Sessions & Trump Et Al is my guess

[pangaia]

18. Whatever it is, the media needs to focus on what they ignore....

and so do we.
That does not mean don't stay focused on the immigration thing,

BUT--it is a multi-pronged attack.. very well executed.... we need to fight on all fronts...

[OhNo-Really]

21. Bingo. We must ...hopefully the courts can stop him

[green917]

20. I think it's a cover

For them to ram their budget through and cut Medicaid, Medicare, and social security while we're not paying attention.

[pangaia]

22. That is my point as well.

Although maybe more of a blitzkrieg on many fronts, which we knew more than a year ago.
The freakin blind media....

[lagomorph777]

38. Blitzkrieg. We have to do the same. Attack Turd on every possible front.

Bury the piece of shit under so many investigations and lawsuits that he can't breathe. Humiliate him and his staff at every possible opportunity.

[OhNo-Really]

23. that too. but mostly deter from removing Russian sanctions

[pazzyanne]

31. So strongly agree with you.

I truly believe that this is what is going to happen and have thought so for months. I also have a bad feeling about tRump's telling the congress to ignore the immigration thing until after the 2018 election "when we will have more Republican legislature members to pass our agenda". What does he know that we do not?

[PSPS]

2. Usual Politico trash, reality show-style complete with teasers. More click bait.

[MelissaB]

5. The direct quote was work the click for me.

[panader0]

3. Give that man another glass of wine.

[democratisphere]

4. How about a whole bottle administered by IV!

[mercuryblues]

13. I will take a collection & buy him this

[magicarpet]

15. A frat house keg, a beer stein, and a straw.

Let's chat about Mueller.

[FakeNoose]

17. Senator Warner, here you go!

Now let's hear it all.

[pangaia]

19. Oh, that is a riot.. in any context..

[shraby]

6. Just might be worth waiting for. Step it up Mueller.

[RandomAccess]

7. wow

Makes the hair on my neck stand up.

[smirkymonkey]

8. I'll believe it when Trump and company are behind bars.

Until then, I am not getting my hopes up.

[lunasun]

26. Sames

[njhoneybadger]

9. Maybe that was the wine talking

Maybe not

[pecosbob]

10. While you contentedly chuckle

the immigration nazis just suspended due process in America. You better get your asses in gear or there won't be any America left to fix. Another six months and there won't be a Dept. of Labor or Dept. of Education.

[dchill]

14. THIS!

[Duppers]

30. I think so too. nt

[onetexan]

32. Spot on

Reconstruction of the administrative state as BS Gannon had intendec

[triron]

11. A ray of hope this morning! Thanks MelissaB for this.

[watoos]

12. I think that

the 3,979 times that Trump cried, "No Collusion," are going to bigly bite him and his sound machine right in the azz.

I can envision an awful lot of people screaming "No Collusion," sarcastically.

[Scruffy1]

16. I'm not holding my breath.

Methinks threr is way too much teasing going on. When the indictments come down I'll pay attention, but in the meantime let us keep our eye on the ball and organize.

[Grins]

24. The hottest thing I can think of...

Is just now starting to appear: the Russian connected dots to the Brexit vote, and the Trump 2016 election.

"Robert Mueller isn’t the only one investigating the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia. In the United Kingdom, there are parliamentary inquiries underway that are looking closely at the Russians’ role in the Brexit vote, and it has become clear that the same players who worked for the Leave Campaign in Britain were also involved in helping Trump win the presidency."

....At the moment, it is a white hot story in England, however, as it has more than adequately provided a smoking gun to prove Russian involvement in the Brexit campaign. But it’s a web that leads everywhere, including into Cambridge Analytica and the whole Facebook controversy, and including into the Trump campaign and the governor’s office in Mississippi."

Get on over to the Booman Tribune website, and scroll down and find his June 18th post titled: "The Russia Conspiracy is Getting Revealed."

The British are getting really hot on this so be sure to read Guardian reporter, Carole Cadwalladr's piece on this, too. Have lots of scotch or your favorite handy.

[northoftheborder]

27. hair-raising, chill bump enduring

[triron]

29. This seemed particularly damning:

"This was material – obtained legitimately – from inside the Leave.EU campaign. There were names, times, dates. Meetings. Official invitations. Gold deals. And, in a starring role, Ambassador Alexander Yakovenko, a name I knew instantly from FBI documents, who had been named by Mueller as a high-level intermediary between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.

There were references to the content of the astonishing email that Wigmore was said to have sent to his contact at the Russian embassy in August 2016. Farage had been on the campaign trail for Trump when his aide and fundraiser, George Cottrell, was arrested by the FBI on money-laundering charges. Material seen by the Observer suggests Wigmore sent confidential legal documents, including the FBI indictment, to the Russian embassy.

And then there was the possibility of the gold deal. A deal, brokered by Yakovenko, and funded by the state-owned Russian bank, Sberbank, negotiated in the months leading up to the referendum, and announced on 5 July, 12 days after the country voted to leave the EU. There is no public record of whether Banks invested or not. Twelve days later, he tweeted: “I’m buying gold at the moment and big mining stocks.” "

[lagomorph777]

40. The Brexit/TrumPutin connections have been emerging for months now.

This is a multi-pronged attack by Putin on NATO and all of its peoples.

When we retake America, we have to attack Putin very directly. It's life or death.

[Delmette2.0]

25. I think I'll need my own case of wine.

Just to get through the announcements and waiting for the trials to start.

[NastyRiffraff]

28. Plus this from Michael Avenatti:

There are few things more gratifying in my role as an advocate than when a whistleblower trusts me with explosive information (docs, images, etc.) and looks to me to ensure it is released for maximum impact for the public good. Today is another such day. #BuckleUp #Basta

12:25 PM - 23 Jun 2018

[lagomorph777]

41. I wonder what's up there?

[BlueJac]

33. We have been in a shit storm since Trump was elected,

I can't wait for something positive to happen for the American people. These are very dark times for this country and many politicians are laying low as well as the media. What happen to this country to have so damn many lapdogs?

[OnDoutside]

34. "Two months" suggests that Mueller will report something before this notional Sept 1 cutoff.

[lagomorph777]

42. That would be good timing for the elections, assuming we have elections.

[George II]

35. I really think he was joking around.

[sellitman]

36. I've been hearing this kind of stuff for awhile.

When I see it I'll believe it.

[bdamomma]

37. Mind sharing that news

with the American people Senator Warner.

This has our name on it too.

[DarleenMB]

39. I am PAST ready ...

I've laid in a big supply of popcorn. Let's get this show on the road.
