It would be irresponsible not to speculate.
This is categorically false. Working on cease & desist letter to BBC radio to stop making up fake news.
Weāre doomed.
Get ya popcorn ready
I thought it was Jeb ā¦
in the loo ā¦
with the plunger ----
Now I have to go and re-formulate ā¦ DAMN IT ! ā
Seriously, would they know what guy did the work, even if the guy was a VP or partner? They are always about plausible deniability. The question needs to be: Did you hire a firm to look into Trumpās Russian ties? Was that firm company X? What reports did you receive and how did you act on them. Reporters in 8th grade do better.
Okay. I bought a bit more yesterday.
The BBC report is the most important advance on the story today, IMO. A welcome palate cleanser after reading Margaret Sullivanās (who I usually agree with) pearl clutching and finger-wagging at Buzzfeed for publishing something that couldnāt be confirmed, even with a disclaim that said āwe canāt confirm this.ā
And yeah, of course Jeb!PAC! used a cutout to engage the MI-6 guyās firm.
You forget that n the DC Edition, Clue has cutouts.
Bush 41 was head spook. Bet he knows any number of friendly MI6-ers.
And the James Bond theory was just so much fun!
from what i have readā¦this was a commission of republcan operatorsā¦later to include democrats.
and alsoā¦as suggested before john McCain seems to be a prime mover of itā¦apparently as surmised he will not let go of the pretenders disrespecting him.
raw story and the BBC are also reporting there are more than one source for this info which IS believed by our CIA and does not appear to be just some sort of pay backā¦
how can anyone know for sureā¦exceptā¦".Fasten your seatbelts, its going to be a bumpy night! "
Iāve been laughing all day long at these hyperventilating newshounds yammering about āunverified informationā. Most of them working for the same outlets that published all the birtherism crap breathlessly for years, and had zero qualms about posting the Huma Abedin emails garbage.
Iām certainly no fan of BuzzFeed most of the time, and they did take the sensationalism angleā¦but there was a lot of stuff in this dossier that sure adds up to more kindling on the fire. Thereās so many breadcrumbs.
A good source to see just how deep the ties run and in how many directions is the Twitter feed of Adam Khan. DJT is not just up to his eyeballs, half of his family is sinking under ties to Russian mob and terrorism money. There were people writing about this as far back as Julyā¦but EMAILS!!
Just about the time ya think ya got the hang of this shit ā¦
Sombody always has to come along and _____ it up ! ā
The background to those statements was information held - at the time - within the intelligence community. Now all Americans have heard the claims. Little more than a week before his inauguration, they will have to decide if their president-elect really was being blackmailed by Moscow.
The time to have done that was before November 8th.
This is totally unacceptable. Republicans KNEW this, including Pence. If this disqualifies Trump, it disqualifies Pence and all republicans in line to the presidency.
It wonāt, but, oh boy, theyāre in for it from the majority of Americans.
Well if not Jed then who? Who is most likely to hate the donald enough and be willing to go low enough to do something like this? My money is on Cruz. Come one everyone can play along there are at least 16 candidates pick your favorite.
I told @Clunkertruck that Iād bet him a soda that Trump n Mike Cohen are compiling a list of who likely hired Steeleās firm,
Everyone knows that Trump n the Bush family arenāt really fond of each other, so get ready for that future 6 a.m. tweet.
Its inevitable.
Interesting since Cruz used to work for the law firm that represented Trump today.
I just read more about that firm.
Morgan Lewis was founded in Philadelphia on March 10, 1873, by Charles Eldridge Morgan, Jr., a Civil War veteran, and Francis Draper Lewis, the son of a successful cotton merchant. In 1883, Morgan & Lewis hired Morris Rex Bockius, who dominated the firm from the turn of the century until his death in 1939. He became a partner fifteen years after he joined the firm, which became Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.
I have no doubt that the Bush family is out for blood, and they have far more money and influence than Trumpski.
The story has been out there since August
There were reporters who treated it like a āthird railā, because of Gawker .
Gawker effed up. That was stupid.
