Check out what John Schindler (who was on The Last Word last night) is tweeting tonight

This was sparked by what David Ignatius reported in the Washington Post today, that Michael Flynn called the Russian ambassador several times the day the Obama administration announced new sanctions in retaliation for Russian meddling in our election:

Flynn is a traitor. Nothing to discuss.

According to @IgnatiusPost, Flynn called Russian Ambassador several times on day Obama imposed hacking response.

New National Security Advisor spends a lot of time on the phone with top Russians. Why? America has been betrayed. Fight while you can.

https://twitter.com/20committee/status/819749996300038144

Flynn and his son have both been on the Kremlin's payroll. Verified by top-level NATO intel. They're traitors who deserve a traitor's fate.

This is the most important story in months. Proof that Trump is a wholly owned Kremlin franchise. Tell everyone.

You know who monitors phone calls. IC has had enough. Kremlin buttboi traitor can't fill the shoes of Washington, Lincoln, FDR, JFK, Reagan.

Why so many calls to the Russian Embassy, @GenFlynn? Is this because the Kremlin paid you or your neo-Nazi son?

When @IgnatiusPost speaks, Langley's 7th floor lips are moving. Zero disrespect, just a fact. They are taking traitor Trump out now.

1. Flynn is the worst Trump pick. He's crazy and not on our side

Tillerson is the second worst. He's the definition of oligarch, clueless, and not on our side.

[brush]

28. And Flynn is not too smart. Apparently doesn't know that phone records . . .

can be accessed.

And trump nominates this numbskull, the very same dummie who spread the story of a Hillary-led child sex ring operating out of a pizza parlor in DC.

We have reached the bottom.

[Renew Deal]

29. I'm with you.

He's dangerous and not just for the obvious reasons.

[LaydeeBug]

2. WE NEED A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR NOW

[uponit7771]

3. FIRST !! I called Flynn first !!!

[cilla4progress]

4. I'm becoming

Frightened. I'm an old lady. It wouldn't take much.

[Maru Kitteh]

18. We have to hold together cilla. We have to hold each other up.

I'm frightened for my grandbaby. We just need to lean on each other and hang in there the best we can.

[cilla4progress]

22. Thanks.

I shouldn't have watched Rachel and Lawrence last night. Had to leave when Lawrence had on the expert talking about nuclear annihilation.

[Maru Kitteh]

23. I shouldn't have read DU and Twitter last night!

Terrible nightmares about that thing.

[cilla4progress]

31. Yes,

I'm having nightmares too

[highplainsdem]

5. Tweet from Matthew Yglesias on the IC and Trump, w/ comment by Chris Hayes.

https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/819757249954516992

It’s fun watching the spooks fuck with Trump because he pissed them off but this is … not how democracy is going to be saved.

Scroll down for interesting comments from Chris Hayes and others.

[roamer65]

6. Guess what, Matt.

"Democracy" was officially killed on November 22, 1963. You've only had the illusion of it since that date.

[roamer65]

8. Sounds like Langley has heard enough to make their moves.

I have no doubt traitor Flynn is under FISA warrant.

[flamingdem]

9. What moves? What are you predicting?

Wondering how they get rid of them all.

[hedda_foil]

12. At a guess, the U.S. IC along with the intelligence arms of every ally is very busy

I'd be stunned if all of these organisations aren't working overtime to obtain copies of the goldengate tapes in time to prevent a Trumpler inauguration. With any luck at all, they already have at least one tape and are hoping to get all of them. Then it's a matter of showing it to a closed session of Congress and the Con himself, threatening to release it to the internet if he doesn't leave quickly and quietly. I think that would do the trick as Trump will do anything to avoid public humiliation.


A least that's what l hope.

[flamingdem]

13. Wow that would be stunning

But a sex tape is not going to be enough, has to be Trump collaborating with the Russians about the elections

[Maru Kitteh]

17. Oh, a sex tape will be enough

because it's become patently obvious that he's allowed himself to be influenced by the compromising information.

He may have a number of Republicans playing along right now, but you and I and everybody else knows, most of them can't stand him either.

Trumps poll numbers are in the toilet. All it will take is the slightest shift in the wind and that whole party will rain on him like hellfire.

[bettyellen]

32. If Russia has the sex tape, they'd guard it and will likely never use it- Chinese deals maybe

The thing, or just his campaign colluding with Russians enough to get them to roll on him.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

24. Gotta disagree. Just about everything about Trump

would be humiliating to a decent human being and would stop other decent human beings from voting to put such a man in the White House. As we have seen, that is not the case.

I firmly believe he will need to be convicted of something seriously illegal. He will not go without a fight.

He may not even really care that much about being president, but he has a pathological need to be a "winner." Allowing himself to be removed from the presidency would make him a "loser". I think he (and his cronies) will do anything to stop that from happening.

[hedda_foil]

25. I understand your point but I think he would do anything to avoid public humiliation.

If he's given a choice between leaving office or letting the world see him in such squalid circumstances,, he can spin almost anything, but there's no way he could spin a video showing him with the hookers peeing on the bed. It's just too disgusting and humiliating..

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

30. To normal human beings, yes, "too disgusting and humiliating."

But, we're not dealing with a normal human being here. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, though.

[NBachers]

10. Bring back tarring and feathering.

[Maru Kitteh]

16. Bring back drawing and quartering.

[uponit7771]

11. Hmmmm... Flynn is either a truly dumb fuck and stupid or he's double and the Band Of Bigots don't

... realize it.

[world wide wally]

14. Three words of advice to the Obama Administration and our legal forces

PRESS

CHARGES

NOW !

[Maru Kitteh]

15. This is one hell of a rabit hole we're falling down. Just gets weirder and weirder.

[Achilleaze]

19. Republicans are selling America out to the Evil Empire

[HAB911]

20. kick

[tanyev]

21. Ooh.

[Zoonart]

26. Seven Days...

and it is really coming apart fast. Dare we hope he is not inaugurated? Also, if Pence did know, of course, he is complicit, if he did not know he is too stupid to be President.

[leanforward]

27. All of the above

I'm just part of the loyal American opposition.

Flynn, Comey, and dipstick need to go. How do we get the GOP to move.

Right now it seems "power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutly".
