Uh-oh. MSM and Right Wing Hate Porn Media âCollusionâ âCollusionâ âCollusionâ -not good but not exactly specifically bad and open ended fuzzy now becomes âcoordinationâ between the campaign and Russiaâs efforts. IMO, besides admitting the fact of the investigation, this âcoordinationâ is a much bigger slice of specific (Roger Stone talking to Goosifer, anyone?).

It appears the republican strategy here is to attacks leaks/stories about Russian connections, not the fact that there actually are Russian connections and the Russians were fiddling with our electoral process.
BasicallyâŚâHow dare you investigate that we committed treason and broke the law?? Thatâs the REAL offense, that you are investigating us!â

Oddly, Comey is not the key witness, since he canât disclose what he knows/is up to. The direct witnessesâStone, Page, et alâis where the action will be, since new evidence can be elicited from them. Thatâs where I want to see the question of authorization gone into. Why? Because it almost doesnât matter if X talks to Russia about bagels and cream or hacking, so long as X is authorized to encourage a rapport and understanding with Russia that results in undisclosed/unstated collaboration. This inquiry is all about who communicated to Page, Stone, Manafort, Kushner, Sessions etc that it would be a good thing to be friends with Russiansâand who, in turn, communicated this idea to the person talking to Stone etc.
Thatâs how you get to the presidentânot by establishing highly incriminating agreement with Russia, but by establishing that the contacts, whatever their nature, were authorized by Trump.
EDIT: Also, tactically, it is much easier to elicit evidence of authorization at a point when the contacts in question are still ostensibly innocuous. âOf course Trump authorized me to buy an ice creamâ is much easier to admit to than "Trump authorized me to colludeâ. Once you establish the chain of authority, you THEN approach the question of the nature of the contactsâand frankly, the bar for collusion is pretty low once everyone believes that the president gave it a green light.

Pretty sure that everyone knew that Trumpp was being probed regarding the tapps.
Confirmation removes all doubt but it was a foregone conclusion.
President Paranoid is now trying to untweet his mistakes and distract hard. Seeing how his attempt at distraction by making the ridiculous and unfounded claims against Obama in the first place went so well, youâd think that Dumbo would learn, but then again, heâs Dumbo.
Now, the Russian ties investigation is tied to the making false claims investigation in a huge dose of irony that is simply not fixable with elementary tweeting. Doh!
Live by the tweetâŚDie by the tweet!
Prediction for upcoming tweets;
I am not a criminal 
You wonât have Donald Trumpp to kick around anymore

They should be asking Mitch McConnell that very questionâŚ

Without exception, the Republican questioners focus on the terrible, felonious leaks. Theyâre not âleakersâ, theyâre whistleblowers.

I hope the FBI is also investigating Ivanka Trumpâs ties to surrogates and agents of Iranâs Republican Guard. She was involved in several suspicious transactions involving large sums of money with Iranian intelligence surrogates. She was cognizant that her corrupt activities involved the Iranian intelligence and violation of sanctions that were in place.

Goudy is getting shrill. I hate that asshole.

Exactly. And once you establish Cohen authorized it, the question arises: where did he get the authority to do that?

The Democrats have to present more solid questioners after Mr. Schiff. The Republicans, thusfar, are a gift to the Russians.
