The FBI is leading an investigation…

Way to start an article in a reassuring manner…

Trump: No worries as I am POTUS. Russia is our biggest ally. This is all legal and ecouraged. I would dissolve CIA/FBI if they dont do what I want them to do.

These pictures represent the America we are losing.

Carter Page’s comment is odd. He might want to reconsider Watergate analogies.

Manafort called the allegations of his ties to Russia a "Democrat Party dirty trick and completely false.”

Absolutely. Democrats are always using the FBI to do their dirty work.

They have about an hour and a half to appoint a special prosecutor.

I got a chuckle out of that too. Lots of irony in this article.

So why did the NYT quash (lie about?) the story on Oct 31, 2016?

Page said he did “nothing wrong” and his opponents were "pulling a page out of the Watergate playbook.”

I certainly hope that’s what his opponents are doing. Remember how Watergate played out?

Yeah, that place is just a fever swamp of unreconstructed Trotskyites.

Dunno about that. I’d say your pictures represent that mythical America white people believe in and think they need to protect. Not sure it ever really existed outside the Rockwell universe and Hollywood.

You’d say anything to be a contrarian.

No I wouldn’t. And I think you understand the issue full well.

However, to suggest the Times’ influential October 31 report “hasn’t aged well,” as MSNBC’s Chris Hayes recently put it, may be an understatement, as the unfolding hacking scandal continues to gain momentum and more evidence tumbles out regarding claims that Russians were trying to help Trump. (Hayes also correctly recalled that “At the same time the FBI was leaking like a sieve about Clinton, people around it went out of their way to dampen the Putin talk.”)

It will never die. Their election coverage this time is one of the darkest spots in the publication’s history and will forever tarnish its reputation and credibility.

Is it wrong that I don’t trust the FBI? Sad but true.

Get ready for a not so blatant cover-up b/c its already begun. Trump will just say he knew nothing about it and it will be over…
