Very nice. Congratulations.

But if you and your intelligence community have given him one actual state secret since January 20, 2017, instead of the intelligence equivalent of a big 18-wheeler where he can wave from the driver’s seat and toot the horn without actually starting the thing up, then you’re a traitor too.

Treason doth never prosper: what’s the reason? Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason.

Announced mere hours after Trump gets done licking Putin’s unmentionables.

I think this may be what war with the IC looks like.

Good, but I’m not clear why the findings of the IC are the most important things (or why that was what the AP reporter referenced in the final question to Trump). Mueller just gave us the details in his indictments on Friday, including names, rank, and serial numbers of the criminals (the Russian ones anyway).

Jake Trapper just said insider white officials know this looks bad and are trying to access the damage

This is the guy who said just last week that the lights were blinking red at the highest level since 9/11. Which must mean the Intelligence community is on high alert and isn’t going to waste time playing games. They probably already have the audio of the “summit”.

It’s high time, for the good of the country, for the IC to start leaking like a sieve.

You know, why is there any doubt now that Fuckface just openly, publicly committed treason while the whole world was watching?

We witnessed it live (well, I didn’t watch it, but you get the idea…)

In the affidavit, one of the people the agent was in touch with was a member of a gun-rights org. in this country (neither the person nor the org. are identified).

(I’m still reading; there may be juicier stuff later on.)

That’s my first thought when I saw @nemo’s links. Like, Dare to mess with the USIC? Proceed.

If Trump get another pass from the GOP … the next move will be to fire Mueller… why not? Trump has now gone on record as saying the investigation is without merit.

Yes–and what’s striking is that in the affidavit Butina made her move toward the NRA in March of 2015 with the pitch that the GOP would likely win the 2016 presidential election.

Better question: What is Congress’ next move? Censure? Impeachment? Removal?

No, the Rethuglicans in Congress are too chicken-shit!

If he said anything differently, Coats would have been liable for perjury.
