You’re assuming one precludes the other?
Shy.
There is so much squawking, because they are still dealing with a problem they have had since Jan '17. Which is, they know that criminality and corruption were widespread throughout the campaign, but because of that, they aren’t sure which parts are exposed.
An informant opens up even more of that problem. And again, they won’t be sure just want he informed on because…the criminality was wide spread.
This story has been updated to include Carter Page’s confirmation that the informant told him he was a big fan of Sam Clovis’.
Funniest sentence I’ve read all day.
Yeah, me too. Literally had one tell me on Twitter that she now realizes George W. Bush was a neoliberal.
I can’t read this shit anymore. Trump has got to go.
An interesting read.
Here is the informant, er, guy who had lunch with 3 people.
Tell me this is not Phil the Bartender from Murphy Brown.
Back from the grave. RIP.
Pity poor Victoria Toensing. She thought she was finally all set to play the big room with Joe yet here she is scheming and shilling for Sam Clovis. Oh, how the mediocre are fallen!
The two sat for coffee and had a “high level” academic discussion about China, Clovis said.
In Clovis’s case, the coffee was accompanied by two coconut custard pies.
Looks like he could use a coffee high colonic cleanse.
Eyewitness description of Clovis taking a seat.
Yeah, he looks stupid, but I bet that guy can really fart
They’re a matched set. They used to appear together all the time (20 years ago or so?) on Geraldo before he was working for Fox. They were all over the Clinton stuff, and, I don’t recall exactly but I have some recollection that they talked a lot about OJ Simpson, too. Money-makers, evidently.
But, hey, we dodged a bullet on Hillary, didn’t we? No scandals! No scandals here! You’re the scandal.
And, just for argument sake, our scandals - if there were any - would be honest-to-dog nation-as-we-know-it-ending caliber. We’d have the very best scandals.
“I took a meeting like this probably once a day — I had somebody like this who would sit down with me,” Clovis said. Literally dozens of people that had academic credentials that wanted to help and be involved, and I met with them all the time.”
In other words, as we knew already, the Trump campaign was as wide open for infiltration as could possibly be.
then they would have justification to go back to their FISA warrants
I think he is saying that team PP’s new line of attack on the investigation isn’t on the obtaining of the original FISA warrant, but on the 3 renewals of it. They want to claim the renewals have to be thrown out.
The fact the PP never met Page face-to-face implies to me that PP was deliberately keeping distance for plausible deniability, which means PP knew and condoned what Page was doing with Putin.
Maybe it got skewed, and what was said was,“I’m a fan of Big Sam Clovis.”
