Mostly simple things? If they are so transparent lets see the tapes.

Oddly, Kislyak denies in the interview that the topic of sanctions came up. Flynn, of course, was fired for misleading Pence by telling him they did not discuss sanctions. So either Kislyak is not telling the truth, or Flynn was fired for some other reason, or the reports that intercepts suggested Flynn did discuss sanctions are wrong. Adding to this weird brew is Trump saying he would have told Flynn to discuss sanctions if he hadn’t!

Russia is beginning to hit the panic button. Their election meddling and their quid pro quo with the Trump campaign is all starting to unravel.

C’mon, people - it was just a job interview! Obama left the State Department in such a mess they’re only now getting his H-1B visa sorted out, but expect him to replace Sessions some time next WEEK - DRAIN THE SWAMP!

Ohh - throwing a little more shade at the US:

In any case, there were no secrets on our side,” Kislyak said in a panel discussion
broadcast by Russian state media, Reuters reported Saturday.

Implication: ~We were transparent with our government… can’t say why Flynn wasn’t transparent with the US govt.~

Well, that settles that. I guess Mueller has no choice but to shut down the counter-intelligence part of his investigation, as clearly it’s not going to bear any fruit.

Also, how conveniently “transparent” of Kislyak not to be available to talk to US investigators. Actually, I’m surprised that took as long as it did, but I guess they were pretty confident there wasn’t any real work happening.

What’s wrong with Trump? Did someone cut off his thumbs?
I’m bored and restless without my daily dose of his nonsense.

Since there’s not really anything earthshaking in this article, I’m going to threadjack and recommend this 2012 article by Rick Perlstein for weekend reading. It’s a detailed plunge into the hidden world of the wingnut scamosphere. Even though it’s 5 years old, it’s still relevant.

A good spy is always transparent. Same goes for ninjas…

The combination of John Kelly limiting access to him and Ty Cobb strong advice to curtail his twitterings might be having some effect. Or someone took his phone away from him. He has had twitter vacations -several days without toilet tappings.

He won’t last long.
What would really help is to have a stream of stories about how well Kelly is controlling Trump, managing him, keeping him off Twitter.
It’s probably too much to ask that there be a “President Kelly” magazine cover, but that would be decisive.

Kelly put the cones of shame on Trump for the weekend.

Such a relief! Because no one EVER lies on Russian “state media”

Another example in the imbalance of intelligence and capability at work: Putin’s fat guy is Kislyak, an experienced and accomplished diplomat and known spy/IC agent for Russia.

Trump’s fat guy is this clown:

Obviously, the trump campaign, who said there was no contact with Russian officials, had absolutely no contact with Russian officials. Well, except the completely transparent contact with Russian officials in this story. And Donald Jr. And The Kush. And Manaford. And Sessions who recused himself because of the multiple contacts.
Yep, the Libtards really should just look the other ways from the facts that have been presented and give trump the benefit of the lie.
