CNN reporting that U.S. investigators have corroborated

[True Dough]

SOME ASPECTS of the Russian dossier. It is not yet clear which aspects, however.

It is still being investigated, the sources say.

Golden showers or not, it appears that something might stick here, so to speak...

[MattP]

1. That would have been nice to know before the election

Comey will go down in history as a Traitor

[Akamai]

13. I disagree (slightly). He's a FUCKING traitor who may have destroyed

This country!

[Blue_true]

34. Comey may be playing a multi dimensional game. Weaken Clinton to

Help Trump get elected, then carry out an investigation that find Trump committed impeachable crimes, let republicans impeach and remove Trump and presto, a Pence-Ryan republican administration.

[Akamai]

39. Also, can anyone doubt that Comey has been aware of the perfidy

Of the Trump camp well before the election?

[TrekLuver]

2. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that there are truths to that Trashpot memo...maybe not the whole

thing but there is truth there.

[drm604]

3. It's on now.

I'm watching it. Thanks.

[cilla4progress]

4. Woo hoo!

[Angry Dragon]

5. Trump loves gold so it must be golden showers

[Ilsa]

45. Rachel on TRMS said last night that

between 45's personal, freakish, sexual side of the dossier or the business (criminal) side of thedossier, it is not the personal side, leaving only 45's business dealings.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

6. Buckle up. nt

[malchickiwick]

7. Maybe the sphincter is finally about to burst??

[etherealtruth]

8. Incoherent tweetstorm to follow

[oldmanandthesea]

9. TICK TICK TICK............

[Aviation Pro]

14. No...

Drip, drip, drip, drip....

[Maru Kitteh]

24. . . .

Nice.

[lpbk2713]

10. Trumpass you fugged with the wrong people.

When you thought you could make an example of CNN.

BWAHAHAHA

[angrychair]

35. The old adage

"Don't fuck with people that buy ink by the barrel."

[lpbk2713]

37. Like they say in Spain ...

Fuck with the bull, you get the horn.


(I guess they say that in Spain)

[Takket]

41. Or the CIA for that matter

[spanone]

11. K&R...

[orangecrush]

12. The truth

Has a way of coming to light.

[Equinox Moon]

15. We know he's guilty. We just need the proof

and the follow through with consequences. He and his merry men of deplorables.

[BadgerMom]

16. Kick

Of course, Sean Spicer dubbed it "fake news." I hope it gets so real they're all burned by it.

[anneboleyn]

17. Hi True Dough, is there a way to merge my thread (and the other CNN threads) with yours?

We all have slightly different info in our threads, and I don't know how to merge them -- one big thread is probably better than four or five smaller ones.

[canetoad]

18. You can't merge them

You could copy your OP from the other thread here and self-delete. Otherwise, don't worry too much, it happens.

[True Dough]

19. Yeah, it would be up to the mods/admins

to merge threads.

But I have seen numerous threads on the same subject matter, sometimes created within seconds or minutes of each other, other times many hours or even days apart. It's an inevitability here with so much activity at this site, particularly with timely issues.

Really, it's nothing to lose your head over, anneboleyn.

[NBachers]

25. I'm often glad to see multiple threads on single issues.

There are times when I wouldn't know about something if I didn't catch a later thread. This business of "take your thread down because my thread was first" doesn't really work for me. More threads means more exposure, no?

On the Pacific Time Zone, sometimes it's better for us to catch a later thread.

[Skittles]

20. the ONLY logical reason for Trump to PUBLICLY KISS PUTIN ASS

is *BLACKMAIL*

[charlyvi]

21. Will it matter, though?

Republicans don't care if he's a traitor, as long as he's their traitor. He's their useful idiot who will sign what's put in front of him, and they think the more that people are frightened, the more voters will flock to what they're selling.

[True Dough]

23. I think it depends on what the findings of the investigation are

At some point public opinion will hold enough sway that some of the ReThugs will be forced to act against Trumpf and some of his administration, which may be in their own best interest. If enough Republican voters and independents are disgusted by scandal after scandal, the house of cards will eventually collapse, IMO. Republicans will hold on to power, but some of the dirt will get swept away. Looks like Gen. Flynn might be first.

[Blue_true]

36. If republicans get Trump for ironclad treason,

Republicans will impeach him in a New York minute to get a Pence or Ryan into the Oval Office.

[usaf-vet]

44. How could Pence be legitimate IF the Russians hack the voting?

It was the Trump-Pence ticket. Pence was either riding the coattails of Trump. OR is "fruit of the poison tree". Pence would not be in the line of succession if Trump had not been elected. Ryan on the other hand I don't have a guess?

Just thinking out loud?

[AgadorSparticus]

42. It will matter to them if they want to get reelected. People are beyond angry.

As it stands they don't want to do town halls because they don't want to face an angry public. Imagine later when shit REALLY hits the fan?

[WinkyDink]

22. FAKE NEWS! Trying to undermine the President! Sad!

[metroins]

26. Please post sarcasm tag

It's for your own good.

[WinkyDink]

49. I like to think more highly of the collective DU intellect. :-)

[Mike Nelson]

27. I think...

...the Russian dossier contains the mild stuff.

[bluedye33139]

28. The "money shot" will be Trump's attempt to do away with the Russia sanctions

Trump is already attempting to dismantle the sanctions against Russia, and Flynn was working on this before they even took office. The smoking gun is the Trump campaign's efforts during the Republican convention to water down the language on Russia, and the Flynn contacts. If intelligence can find the link to Trump's finances, Trump will be toast.

[saidsimplesimon]

29. True thank you

Off topic:

Dear Patriot Edward Snowden,
It is now public. Putin will operate in his own best interests.

I hope you make it to a safe house in France.

[Liberalagogo]

30. The truth

is tinkling in.

[True Dough]

32. Urine good company, Groucho!

[Gman]

31. If they can just verify the $19 billion

Stake in the Russian oil company. That will take him down the hardest.

Read somewhere earlier in the week that they know $19.5 billion worth has been moved. The article said the .5 was probably a brokerage fee. But that it was going through a myriad of shell companies with the trail going through the Caymans.

[Ilsa]

46. Has this trail been confirmed?

We have all been warned to be on the lookout for fake news and misdirection. An onslaught of either and false flags could cause disbelief when the truth is finally unveiled.

[femmedem]

48. I've got to admit, no, it hasn't.

So your warning about it being potentially fake news is wise. I keep waiting for confirmation from the person who tweeted it, but so far, nothing I would call definitive.

[Locrian]

33. maybe this will be trumps "watergate"....n/t

[UTUSN]

38. k r

[Historic NY]

43. Drip by drip.....the info is trickling out.

[FailureToCommunicate]

47. "It is still being investigated" Well, get on with it please. Democracy is dying more every day...

cut by cut.
