Who cares what they have to say, they lie just as much as drump, all they are doing is showing that actually care about Butina getting arrested. My guess is they mainly care due to in the inroads they have made with the NRA.

And the treasury just made it easier to use something like the NRA to funnel money to elections.

#Zakharova: It looks as if the FBI, instead of carrying out their responsibility of fighting crime, is implementing a political put-up job set to it by forces that are whipping up anti-Russia hysteria in the US

Trump will have to agree with the Russians on this. And then tomorrow say he doesn't. And then Friday say, oh yes he does.

Rinse and repeat.

There’s some tactically-smart strategically-moronic Chekists & chaos-agents in Moscow (and DC, and CA) who are shitting themselves today.

MSNBC just said the cabinet meeting just ended, Trump was asked if Russia was still targeting us. He said no.

We are watching some really wild history this week folks. I have been shocked, but he is going over the top on us. Sheesh.

However, that does make me think time is short for him again. Everything is being crammed into place.

Few are making note of Trump’s greenlighting Russian takeovers of smaller NATO nations.


Trump was asked about Monte­negro, which joined NATO last year and has a population smaller than that of the District of Columbia, during a Fox News interview with host Tucker Carlson.

Carlson pressed Trump on the purpose of the alliance, which was created in 1949 to protect the United States, Canada and a host of Western European nations from Soviet incursion. The organization calls for member nations to come to the aid of any ally that is attacked.

“Why should my son go to Montenegro to defend it from attack?” Carlson asked in the interview, which was recorded Monday after Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladi­mir Putin in Helsinki.

“I understand what you’re saying, I’ve asked the same question,” Trump responded. “You know, Montenegro is a tiny country with very strong people. . . . They are very aggressive people. They may get aggressive, and congratulations, you’re in World War III. But that’s the way it was set up. Don’t forget, I just got here a little more than a year and a half ago.”

Did the cabinet ask him if he was “mis-speaking” right then? :-/

Everything is ham handed. If I were being nefarious, I would be approaching my tasks with a great deal more finesse. Now it looks like he is throwing everything out there in a panic. I think Mueller and the IC is almost toying with him this last two weeks. He knows something is coming and is so fucking trapped.

Agreed. Nobody ever predicted this would all go down uneventfully. Most of us have a constitutional crisis factored into our emotional expectations. But still–I don’t know if anyone was quite ready for this spectacle of treason televised live

I would, um wouldn’t know.

But remember, neither am I a dentist.

Goddamn Putin has had it in for Montenegro ever since they asked to join the EU. It was the head of Montenegro that Trump shoved the first time he was in Europe and it was deliberate.

Told y’all the Balkans were in play.

Just a rhetorical question, which I’m all pretty sure we know the answer to.

If this is what he said and believes, DNI Coates should resign,Kelly should resign Pompeo should resign, Haspel should resign,Wray should resign Bolton should resign. Trump does not believe his own intel agencies. He believes Putin.
