Discussion: House Judiciary Dems Ask DOJ, FBI To Protect Materials On Russia Probe

Asks…they should demand. Does Pelosi look a bit like the cat who ate the canary in that photo? What does she know?

If you think these clowns are going to protect American democracy instead of the apparent traitor Trump, you have another think coming.

And FFS, file an ethics complaint with Sessions’ Bar. Why has that not happened TODAY?

And now there are reports of thick smoke rising from the chimneys of the DOJ and FBI buildings, and its not about the election of a Pope.

I’m sure Comey has multiples copies of everything… I understand he’s a man who covers his ass very well.

The cover up is always worse than the crime. It is highly likely that there are multiple version of any documentation, and agents who are loyal to the US, not Trump, that have them. If the investigation gets shut down, if Comey is sidelined, then I expect the information to leak out…at this point the people in the government who are worried about a takeover have little to lose. The Republicans are already in trouble due to health care…leaks that show a coverup of Russian connections will lead to a wave in 2018. And, if the Democrats gain control of Congress, or even just one house, the investigations will happen, and the Republicans will get crushed in 2020.

This all presumes we don’t get overwhelmed into a dictatorship…and, considering the actions of Republicans propping Trump up no matter what, it’s actually more likely than I want to think.

With the volume of data generated today, the pattern of holes will often tell as much as the underlying information.

I don’t think that is true here. This crime may be a stolen Presidency and there is no way to recover from that. Impeachment of Trump still leaves Pence. Impeachment of Pence leaves Ryan.

We recovered somewhat from Bush 2000.

This is great. The Judiciary Reps know very well they couldn’t have unleashed an orgy of attempted evidence destruction any more ferocious if they’d offered an unconditional bounty for truckloads of shredded paper. And many of the documents have been backed up ad infinitum–while Obama was still President.
Praise the whoever, that even He can’t fix stupid.
WE SHALL SEE.

Anyone who tries to do some shredding will have in interesting explanation to make if/when the backups start surfacing.

It will be interesting to see if Rosenstein and McCabe say they don’t have, and fail to produce documents, tapes or transcripts that the Democrats already have copies of - and then get nailed for it while testifying at a public hearing.

The Repubs are already investigating and attempting to shoot down McCabe because his wife gave a donation to Terry McCauliff’s campaign.

More importantly, get on the morning news shows, tomorrow, to gravely note that “we have not received any assurances from the White House that evidence will be safeguarded by law enforcement and kept out of the hands of political operatives associated with Trump.”

That is just a symptom of the root problem.

It is clear Trump is beholden to the Russians in some way. This is the issue.

Installing Flynn was just part of that deal.

I don’t know about treason I think that only applies to war but he damned sure has committed a major crime if he did collude with the Russians.
