Obama Officials Made List of Russia Probe Documents To Keep Them Safe

Source: NBC News

Obama administration officials were so concerned about what would happen to key classified documents related to the Russia probe once President Trump took office that they created a list of document serial numbers to give to senior members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, a former Obama official told NBC News.

If I read this right, the "list" with the serial numbers was given to the Senate Intelligence Committee, not the documents themselves. If true, then when the committee request documents and documents from the "list" are not there...BOOM!

Voter Fraud Found!

Republican hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me.

“It seems to be, and correct me if I’m wrong here, but virtually every case of voter fraud I can remember in my lifetime was committed by Democrats.” Steve Curtis

They have finally found evidence of voter fraud, and no surprise to anyone, it is Republican voter fraud.

The REAL number of #45 Twitter Followers

#45 has been bragging about his 20 million Twitter followers and how he uses Twitter to let his followers know when he's generating "real" news as opposed to fake news.

This inspired me today to see if I could find out anywhere how many of those followers are in the US. Well, come to find out, this article in Forbes from January 2017 states that of the 20 million, 3 million are active US Twitter followers (give or take a couple of million). The rest of the followers are from other countries (including Russia-surprise!), spam, bots, zombie followers etc. I'm not saying the 3 million is written in stone, but even a higher number would be a lot less than 20 million. Makes me feel a little bit better knowing he's not corrupting that many US minds via Twitter.

20 Million? Depends On How You Count

As of Jan. 16 at 1 p.m. ET, there were 19.92 million accounts following @RealDonaldTrump (he passed 20 million shortly thereafter). That's a lot, but remember, any Twitter account of that size accumulates a fair amount of detritus in the form of bots, spam accounts and other zombie followers who don't represent engaged users. In addition, big celebrities on Twitter are often followed by a number of overseas accounts that may or may not be legitimate. In Trump's case, many of those followers come from Moscow or elsewhere in Russia, India, Nigeria and Latin American countries, primarily Venezuela and Mexico. It's not surprising that our PEOTUS is followed by people around the world, but those people should not be counted as part of Trump's electoral base in the U.S.

Trump Is So Unpopular That Car Companies ...

I'll never understand how #45 carried the state of Michigan after President Obama saved the auto industry.

Car companies offered to feed and pay union autoworkers to attend Donald Trump’s speech in Detroit, Michigan.
