Malcolm Nance Says Trump aides Need to Start Getting Lawyers and Cutting Deals (Politicus)




Nance, a former NSA employee and current MSNBC counterterrorism and intel analyst, warned that this is “very, very, serious stuff” and that because the FISA warrant “authorized the NSA to turn on the full collection power of the United States…there is nothing that will escape that.”

Given what intelligence agencies know – and this is in direct contradiction of Republican claims that no such evidence exists – he said,

“These people need to start getting lawyers and cutting deals because when we have both sides of the conversation, you are gonna get caught.”

FISA stands for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and what Nance is talking about is the warrant granted at the FBI’s request in October, which as Nance warns here, covers any ‘US person’ connected to the investigation.

(snip)

From a tenacious press refusing to cower in fear before the power of the Oval Office to public outcry, and now the threat of evidence gathered by a FISA warrant, Trump’s Putin nightmare is only just beginning. Things are going to get much worse for the Trump administration and its allies before they get better.

Comey felt obligated to announce that HRC's aide's husband has some unexamined e-mails on his computer that may be from HRC's computer but never seen before, a few days before the election? Where is his sense of proportion? Where is his duty to our electoral system?

Why should I think that Comey will do anything ? Seems he has been busy avoiding any action for a long time now, not to mention his interference in the election.
Maybe that meting today was a come to Jesus meetings?
and that depends who was there.

A madman that swindled his way into "ruling" the most powerful nation on Earth gets busted.
The Politicians covering up for him should, by all rights, be turned out to pasture. Republicans become a party of outcasts never to be seen again.
If only fairy tails came true.
If only there really was an America

and he certainly speaks with authority and confidence. I trust his judgement, and quite agree with it.
