Joy Reid: Excerpts from Steele memo...

no DUer cares about, because we already know how gross he is.

blackmail

....but google "Christine Keeler". In 1963 she had an affair with a British MP who eventually resigned and the affair discredited the Harold McMillan government, rendering it virtually ineffective.

I'm a Phil Ochs fan!

expression.

...to quash the platform plank standing up for Ukraine against Russia?? It was the only plank they cared about, and they were adamant that it had to be kept out! That fits right in with the claim by the Steele memo that Drumpf was co-operating with Russia to sabotage the Clinton campaign.

Seals the deal for me, and I know there's more! This basturd's gotta go down! . .

The CSPAN-recorded proceedings mentioned above from the day before, were corrupted (although still available but without a transcript), but I was able to find the above 2nd attempt to change that amendment... The link goes right to the portion where the above takes place.

Mainly... who did they get to introduce this change?

The "unidentified speaker" above is Maine State Senator Eric Brakey. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Brakey
Why him??
He just did this of his own volition? I seriously doubt it.

And this was the second attempt? And the proposal to strike it was soundly defeated here.

It took three (or more?) attempts to soften the language on Russia in the platform?

Is there no video or transcript of them actually approving the amended language?

Who introduced the language that passed?

and haven't had time to get through it all yet to find the final votes. I think much of the earlier stuff was done in the video where the sound was completely mistracked from the video portion (and thus there is no transcript of the proceedings). It's also possible that the final votes were not recorded by CSPAN but am not sure yet..

It really hasn't been reported on thoroughly.

I had no idea the change took multiple attempts. It was clearly defeated in the video you link to above.

And given how this administration operates, I think it is important to know which RNC delegates worked with them to get the language softened. And how did they convince all those "nay" voters to change?

Incidentally, in the relevant section of the video, no names are given by the chair, whereas he does give names when they are on other issues. He simply refers to "the delegate from Maine." I'm not suggesting that this was a conspiracy. Probably just a coincidence that the only name I was interested in wasn't given. I could see that the delegate's first name was "Eric" from his nametag. Had to look up a list of Maine delegates and look up multiple Maine delegates named Eric to ID him. Brakey was Maine's state director for Ron Paul in 2012 and led a walkout of some Maine delegates at the 2012 RNC. I gather that he also considers himself an actor. He danced in a Speedo in a commercial for coconut water.

I'd be interested in knowing if you discover more.

This deserves its own thread.

My thoughts.

after all - how many of those were on Dump's team anyway?

Epshtyn makes no sense. He was a player in the treason.

Give this man/lady a Ci-gar.

This should be really bad news.

Will it be?

I haven't seen any discussion or speculation about this part of the dossier

But since it is forbidden here to speak ill of fellow Democrats I'm not throwing any names out there.

Just think long and hard about what happened at the DNC during the primary season and what your suspected individuals have been up to publicly since then. They have been very transparent - like the rest of the agents in this operation.

IF this part is true (and I don't see why not, with all other parts considered), we'd better know who these people are for our own sakes!

It seems logical enough that there might be one or two, unfortunately.

I don't think it's that obvious..

What specifically makes it "pretty obvious?"

Just a down payment

I sometimes post on online discussion/message boards, and over the summer
there were just too many instances of attempts to distort facts and pump
certain positions for Trump from posters who were clearly challenged when
using the English language

Thank you.

Complete names are important, folks!

find these and purge them, please

But the Greenie Weenie Jillie Stein is also part of it too from the left.
