Nix is right now being interviewed by a British parlimentary commitee.

Citing “reports passed to investigators,” the Guardian also reported that Kaiser said she’d funneled cryptocurrency “gifts and payments” from third parties to Wikileaks,

Those excess Trump inaugural funds had to be spent on something I suppose.

I can barely read the article due to the amount of smoke and fire coming off it.

Hoping there’s enough evidence about CA’s involvement that RM III can bring a biblical-grade shit storm down on the bleeping Mercers.

TPM, or at least Matt, does a huge disservice by failing to mention just how doggedly and how early Carole Cadwalladr has been with understanding what happened, not just in the US 2016 election, but Brexit and other elections as well.

The High Five visit?

The headline needs to be written to include the most important part. She met with Assange after the election AND PAID HIM.

Now why would a corporation who’s business is dirty tricks and stealing data to use nefariously for exclusively right wing politics pay an international thief and criminal? Seems pretty clear to me.

Every single Cambridge employee needs to be investigated. Anyone making those decisions or involved in the collusion better hope they aren’t an American. Cause we’re squarely in treason territory here.

Somewhere, there’s a rope and a lamp post with Julian Assange’s name on them.

Or a steaming cup of Polonium Tea.

Who knew that the bestest and largest inaugural ever included the Ecuadorian Embassy in London…

asturcot · June 6, 2018, 5:09pm

What:? The NRA wasn’t involved???

ralph_vonholst · June 6, 2018, 5:11pm

I’m more imaginative. I’d like to have him thrown naked, and smeared with Alpo, into an enclosed pen with 100 starving, vicious, feral Jack Russell terriers.

relagated to the childrens’ table… watching the big time operators

mattinpa · June 6, 2018, 5:13pm

Too merciful. They might eventually kill him. I saw let him stay in that filthy warren he has for himself and introduce 100 regular Jack Russells in there. He’ll be insane in 72 hours, begging for death.

ETA I say this as a person who lived in the same house with a Jack Russell once. It was hell.

ncsteve · June 6, 2018, 5:15pm

Oh, is that where its coming from? Good. I was scared the top of my head had blown off and it was from my brains.

eggrollian · June 6, 2018, 5:15pm

Or left without his shirt or mosquito spray to ride a horse around the taiga rounding up Siberian tigers.

blandsten · June 6, 2018, 5:19pm

Nix, like every important employee in every agency involved in this continual disinformation push, is totally full of shit.

dommyluc · June 6, 2018, 5:21pm

Just sentence him to live with Glenn Greenwald for the rest of his life. That’ll drive them both to suicide.

quickq · June 6, 2018, 5:22pm

mercer schmercer… the storm I want to see is who carried the CA talking points to Fox News and Breitbart???
