âThe FBI did not comment on NBC Newsâ report.â
What, no vague and foreboding letter to Congress about it from Comey?
Reportedly? REPORTEDLY?
Hereâs an idea - maybe Comey can write a letter and end it with âThe extent of Donald Trumpâs involvement with Manafortâs possible illegal activities is unknown at this time.â
Who is that shooting the bird in the picture?
Comey has to get his house in order. These dueling FBI leaks are bad for the country, and they already âforced his handâ on the letter last week. Heâs completely lost control of the agents who are inserting themselves into a presidential election.
Even if he shouldnât resign for the âextremely carelessâ and the recent letter, unless he can get the respect of the rank and file he has no place there.
Everytime I see PM, I think of Dudley Moore. Maybe weâre all just in âBedazzled,â and donât know it.
Over under on getting indicted after Nov 9th?
Zero, if Trump is elected.
One in Ten if Hillary is elected and decides to follow Obamaâs âdonât want to appear partisanâ credo.
I think itâs too late. FBI has dropped the ball on Russiaâs interference and manipulation and shown itself to be a deeply corrupt partisan organization with rogue agents including Comey. Theyâve tampered with a US election and wonât/canât undo that.
How can anyone trust these hacks when they conclude 1) no case against Trump for tax evasion 2) for bribing officials 3) for colluding with Russia. (And they will because that would seem âtoo partisanâ)
Their reputation and legitimacy is toast.
Manafort told NBC News that he was not aware of any investigation by the FBI, and said that any suggestion that he is connected to Russian President Vladimir Putin or his government is "Democratic propagandaâ and âmeant to deflect.â
At least he didnât say âDemocratâ propaganda. Shows ya heâs a man of the world.
Sometimes, when selling your nation out to Russia, one forgets the edicts of Limbaugh.
Ousted Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, Manafortâs predecessor, had suggested that those reports were a factor in Manafortâs resignation, citing the âpotential distraction of more stories comingâ about his overseas ties.
Hell hath no fury like a Trumpster scorned.
But since the FBI does not confirm it is even INVESTIGATING unless Congress whines and snivels we donât âknowâ, right?
Here TPM, use this picture instead:
Itâs time to start making all pictures of The Enemy appear dark and foreboding, just like the assholes on the Reich Wing and their disgusting âmainstreamâ media supporters do to Democratic personages.
neither
if the RNC was unaware of how much of how Trump was potentially compromised by his outside interests, they are completely aware now.
Now it makes them complicit to any future Trump action, but nopeâŚnot then or ever.
Unfortunately, you are likely correctâŚ
prolly an aide or security
at this point, heâs Charlemagne.
Heâs got them this close to the promised land and considering what has happened in this cycleâŚnope.
Itâs almost like the dysfunction we saw at the Secret Service, and the near-mutiny we have seen in the military, since Obama was elected president.
Or the members of SEAL who have rushed their politically motivated memoirs to print in order to cash in.
The right wing has become increasingly disoriented and waylaid since 2008, and gripped with a siege mentality, and that has made them more susceptible to grifters and cheats.
