Keep asking these questions, and keep documenting all the things that were not answered.

Any answers by Spice Boy, KAC, or Sarah “Huckster” Sanders do not count.

Oh those answers matter, likely due to them contradicting each other, but any future statements will matter.

Not sure McGahn cares given the Slate article I posted in the previous thread. Man is a rule-hating bomb thrower, like the rest of this administration.

Keep the pressure up, BUT let’s not get sucked into Trump’s distraction: He wants the public to forget about his shenanigans with the Russians. That’s much more important than his claims about being wiretapped.

(By the way, if Trump had lost, would anyone take it seriously if his lawyer demanded to see FISA warrants?)

Oh, goody. Another sternly written letter. Maybe that will work this time!

Think long term. They are developing a paper trail for a potential obstruction of justice case.

The MOST tangled webs are woven with intersecting lies.

Here’s one of those intersection moments, under the microscope.

Just exposing it puts a spotlight on the event, and opens all the doors for accusations of conspiratorial collusion and complicity. There seems to be a floating conspiracy bug passing around the right, with operatives in every level of government and politics, with a MUTUAL AGENDA, and they all seem desperate to cover up some impending truth.

Recognizing the fact that Congress seems to have joined the conspiracy only adds to the body of evidence that there is a mini-vast right wing conspiracy underway right now that uses the threat of bogus investigation to avoid serious investigation.

Only the guilty-as-charged would ever even consider such a strategy.

"Following criticism that McGahn’s request would breach protocol barring the White House from asking the Justice Department or FBI about such a matter, another administration official told the New York Times that White House was only looking into whether a legal option exists for the White House to learn about a FISA court order without interfering in an investigation. "

That is a breathtaking paragraph. And the fact that its being put out there without the bat of an eyelash just makes it more jaw dropping.

The White House is quite literally saying they are looking for ways to find out about FISA court orders at precisely the same time that investigations into Russia ties are heating up and the same event dropping his cabinet members like flies.

They aren’t looking for any orders from Obama…they want to see how many of them, and how deeply, have been caught talking to the Russians.

This is going to create a LOT of new problems for the Trumpers.

I wonder if the trumpkins and the GOP have ever heard of the law of unintended consequences.

It was an epic twitter meltdown. Stone was trending for something like 12-15 hours once he went after a woman who is not a Trump supporter. I don’t know if it was a booze thing or what, but he’s right back at it since Saturday - totally bizarre.

Her name is Caroline O RVAwonk and she is now immortal. https://twitter.com/rvawonk?lang=en

She is also being followed by bitches the cat, so …

“Demcorats”? I think you’ve got a secret Republican on the staff somewhere. :smile:

Read this interesting twist on nbc. Seems Obama may have a legitimate case to sue Trump for libel. I especially like this last line about immunity from damages

“President Trump has official immunity from liability and damages,” Zipursky confirmed, but it is not clear that judges would view tweeting a defamatory conspiracy theory, without evidence, as a president carrying out his official duties.

Explain the legal argument on how attacking a former president using your own personal twitter account is part of your “official duties?”

The letter will be signed by Reps. John Conyers Jr. (D-MI, pictured above), Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Steve Cohen (D-TN), Hank Johnson (D-GA), Ted Deutch (D-FL), Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), David N. Cicilline (D-RI), Cedric Richmond (D-LA), Ted Lieu (D-CA), Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Jamie Raskin (D-MD).

Democrats could make more friends if the list of people they volunteered for being told to piss off was shortened a bit.
