53. We were right all along. "FBI investigating Trump" should be headline.

Time to reflect back on who reacted how to this news, posted on DU just a few hours before the hackers took down DU.

2. Boom. That he did it in his opening statement makes it an organization decision, not just his.

McCain said "expect more shoes to drop"...we'll see where this goes but this feels like Thor's Hammer falling.

[elehhhhna]

29. Geez, where to begin? Crimes and misdemeanors , treason, and the RICO act.

Lying to Congress, election fraud, conspiracy, and whatever they call covering up Major Crimes.

Fitzmas-y

[CincyDem]

33. I've always wondered why there hasn't been more conversation about RICO.

I'm not a lawyer...so, make sure you got a big grain of salt with ya on this one...

IIRC, RICO is a list of about 13-14 illegal activities (some of which on the surface seem pretty minor) that, when done in an organized manner among 3 or more people...that's RICO.

Lawyers...have I got that anywhere near right ?

[sunonmars]

3. This will go apeshit in the media now....Trump is going to flip.

[SummerSnow]

6. he is going to break his twitter finger and start tweeting with his toes

[MelissaB]

4. Yes! K&R

as hard as I can kick.

[malaise]

5. We all knew this already because of their behavior

Now it is confirmed

[SummerSnow]

8. The Trump camp is nervous for sure. The FBI etc knows Trump is in bed with Putin

[malaise]

11. Yep- get the tax returns NOW

The Con knows they have been caught

[calimary]

57. Joining you! K&R as ardently as possible!!!

[Johnny2X2X]

7. Let's see if this is tyhe main headline like it should be

Still too much Obama wiretap BS being mixed in.

[malaise]

10. That wiretap BS is huge

Groper Don the Con made it up - he will pay

[MelissaB]

9. Jake Tapper tweet

[malaise]

13. Too tame

We know it's Groper Con the Con's campaign

[H2O Man]

12. Recommended.

It proves that Russia attempted to influence the election's outcome. And it is proving that it was an effort coordinated with the Trump campaign.

[malaise]

14. +1,000

[H2O Man]

15. Enjoy this!

We are witnessing history.

[malaise]

17. I cleared my calendar

moved the ironing board into our room so I could iron and watch

Only watching right now
Reminds me of Watergate

[cilla4progress]

52. Hi, Malaise

I'm fixated on it, as well!

Time to get going though...farm animals waiting impatiently for me!

[malaise]

63. LOL

Hehehehhe - must watch

[malaise]

16. ReTHUGs on the Committee are going for the leaks

and apparently missing the trees for the forests re the leaks of Clinton campaign stuff from their goons.

[Cracklin Charlie]

18. If that's their only defense...

Theyre in serious trouble.

No one will stand behind the childish "they did it, too" defense for long.

[malaise]

20. They are in serious trouble

They know they stole it

[smirkymonkey]

19. This is a beautiful sight!

[malaise]

21. For real

[malaise]

22. Amazing how troubled ReTHUGs appear

that their treasonous acts were leaked - they're more worried about the leaks than the treason .

[smirkymonkey]

23. They are sweating bullets!

[dalton99a]

28. Same ol' strategy - shoot the messenger

[malaise]

30. Lock up the journalists

Poor fool

[Kimchijeon]

25. HAPPY MONDAY!

[smirkymonkey]

26. Happy Monday to you!

I think it's going to be a great week!

[Kimchijeon]

24. Good, it's about time

[malaise]

27. Gowdy wants to lock up the journalists

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[NewRedDawn]

32. Howdy Doody Gowdy

Another Jug head Confederate traitor mother fucker.

[malaise]

34. Well said

He's a disgusting fascist

[keepthemhonestO]

41. for sure

the panel is so partisan. The republicans aren't even asking questions relevant to the investigation. They are way off on a tangent about leaks from FBI and CIA.

[malaise]

43. Their only focus

Patriotism suddenly does not matter

[keepthemhonestO]

45. Exactly

Unreal how partisan the right is. Meanwhile our democracy hangs in the balance.

[elehhhhna]

31. Pouty Gowdy's comments, short version

are you sure this isn't a bunch of fake news pressuring you to make up fake news so they can have some fake news

[Maru Kitteh]

35. It is a beautiful day, malaise.

This feels like an agonizingly slow march to justice for us while we live it, but history will remark how blindingly quick the fall of this administration was.

It is a beautiful day, and not the last.

[malaise]

37. So far so good

I still want a Special Prosecutor

[Maru Kitteh]

38. Agreed! nt

[Scruffy1]

36. I wouldn't get too excited.

They will drag out the investigation forever and it could be a whitewash. The only hope is that foreign intelligence has enough dope that they are forced to cover their own ass. My confidence in the FBI has been zero for about 50 years.

[Dopers_Greed]

39. I'm trying not to stay too optimistic

Remember that Comey helped install Chump in the first place

[Stonepounder]

49. That is my concern. Can we really trust the FBI and the GOP?

When Watergate broke and everything was revealed, it was a Republican who went to the White House to tell Nixon he had to resign. Can you see Gowdy or McConnell or Ryan ever getting to that point?

[VWolf]

40. Us. History will absolve us.

We're all there with you.

[malaise]

42. Us it is

[VWolf]

44. .

[58Sunliner]

46. I put my bottle of bubbly in the chiller 2 minutes in.

[murielm99]

60. I have a bottle waiting, too.

I think it is too early to chill it. I am not optimistic about this.

[58Sunliner]

61. I feel like I'm celebrating the small victories right now.

It keeps my moral up.I'm utilizing new coping strategies, along with long-term thinking and how to still enjoy life while suffering from anxiety. Plus side-I'm learning to be in the moment as the future can seem darkly obscure.

[malaise]

64. I'll use the one on hold for

Cheney

[Hekate]

47. Kick

[George II]

48. And Trey Gowdy keeps trying to put the fire out by dwelling on leaks that revealed....

...that there was/is illegal activity. He's more obsessed with punishing the messenger than getting to the bottom of the message.

[lark]

50. Malaise,

we both know damn well drumpf stole the election! If it's proven and R's actually take action, I will once again have some faith in this country's institutions.

[malaise]

51. Yep

and they know that they've been caught

[joanbarnes]

54. Me too. They Stole: NC, PA, WI, MI, FL and MO (senate). Be sure of it.

[L. Coyote]

56. They certainly stole ones Jill Stein didn't place attention on!!

Florida, North Carolina, Ohio. Where Senate seats were in play, there is a much higher deviation from exit polls.

[L. Coyote]

55. Comey confirms Trump under FBI investigation for colluding with enemy

#TrumpRussia is the hashtag to follow. #ComeyHearing is getting slammed by TrumpRussian troll bots.

[barbtries]

58. yeah.

calls for today: no SC nomination until this is cleared up.

of course my senators are both republican tools. but i'll make the calls dammit.

question: does only the Senate consider SC nominees? i know i should know this but i don't.

[briv1016]

59. I'm sorry but the FBI can scream treason until they're blue in the face but

if the DOJ is not willing to press charges it means nothing. Though more likely Comey is just going to rubber stamp a clean bill of health.

[logosoco]

62. A perfect spring day and wonderful news out of DC!!

I am loving this! I knew the trump people would be caught doing something, maybe not this big nor this soon.

I called my Senators today to remind them Gorsuch is not a good person for that office. I don't really see how they are going to proceed with that considering where the pres. and executive office is right now.


(now if I could just find the remote for the fart machine that my grandson lost yesterday, today will be put down as a perfect day all around!)
