1. Strange

What could this document dump mean? Is there a strategic advantage for Trump to do this?

4. It's a distraction. nt

6. Ah, thanks (n/t)

[BumRushDaShow]

9. Purportedly ties up the media (although that might only be Faux Snooze)

while deflecting from the Manafort flip, the disaster in the Carolinas, and of course, Woodward's book (and that "anonymous" op ed) - the trigger being the Kavavaugh kerfuffle.

2. It works for me, but probably not for Don. What an idiot.

[Ilsa]

3. Does this expose any CIA or FBI undercover officers?

I'm sure there will be plenty in documentation to prove the investigation is justified, but dumb donald will say otherwise.

12. That is exactly what I am thinking of. Is this a gift to Putin?

[unblock]

5. declassifying and releasing texts from people he doesn't like and not from people he does.

totally objective, and totally in the best interests of national security, i'm sure.

7. He must know there is some stuff in there that "looks bad"

Like the strozak text (which was nothing more than him saying he thought Hillary was going to win).

So he’ll seize on a few meaningless texts that prove nothing and try to inflate them to epic proportions. And the media of course will lap it up.

He is desperate.

8. Truly idiotic

And possibly dangerous.

But somehow I think it will backfire on the buffoon, revealing adverse information about himself.

10. wag the dog

we knew something was coming

[blugbox]

11. Yet we need tariffs because

"National security"

Uh huh

[blm]

13. Because Trump works for Russia. Intel assets in Russia will be killed

and Republicans don’t mind.

14. So tired of this crap

I remember when the scandals were Obama ate Arugula and Michelle wore a sweater-skirt set to meet the Queen(how informal)!

Someone get me a time machine.
