1. AND...the mysterious Carter Page, supposed spy, was hired by Session's camp

and then introduced to Trump.

3. Important reminder about Carter Page

Yet another Trump guy with ties to Russia, and continuing relevance to this bizarre and very important story.

7. No one seems to know where he is now, along with Paul Manafort...

Interesting

[MBS]

9. Indeed.

For the last year or two, I've had the persistent feeling that I'm living through a way-too-complicated spy novel with an unbelievable plot. As they say, truth is stranger than fiction.
Would be more entertaining if the fate of our country, and, actually, the world, were not at stake.

10. Bet all our intelligence services and the FBI

know where both are at this moment. They're no doubt hiding from the media as directed by their managers and attorneys--and the 45th.

13. several stories that Manafort took a few million from the Russians

that he was supposed to deliver to someone, but instead took it himself and has not been seen since.
Probably a smart move.

[Hortensis]

15. I dislike him enough to hope that's completely true.

That kleptocracy is made up of big-time criminals. Manafort had to have considered them but probably didn't expect every investigative body in the U.S. and Europe would also be unraveling his deceptions.

2. All treacherous traitors

[tanyev]

4. Da, their very peculiar brand of Republicanism.

[Skidmore]

5. Bannon needs to go...now. nt

[Initech]

11. Bannon needs to go, and the travel ban needs to be rescinded.

[mercuryblues]

6. Nothing like

a heaping of schadenfreude to go with my coffee in the AM.

[BeckyDem]

12. Trump has been culling the white supremacist crowd as soon as he declared himself a birther.

He's been trying to normalize bigotry ever since and he has his family to help him.

[BSdetect]

14. Whatever happened to terminate with extreme prejudice?

If ever there was a need for that its right now.

[enough]

16. This is such an important article. The Bannon/Sessions axis explains and reveals so much

about the particular evil now in power. Hope this doesn't get lost in the current turmoil.

17. OMG this article is heavy!!!
