READ: DNI Grenell Unmasks Obama Officials, Including Biden, In Boon For Fever Swamps | Talking Points Memo

Currently, most of it. He is past his handlers, domestic and otherwise, and running the race on his own.

If you found Grassley pinned under a tractor, what series would you binge-watch before dialing 911?

It’s not FBI agents who make unmasking requests. It’s the administration officials who receive the reports with the US person’s name redacted, and decided that they need to know who the person is in order to understand the significance of the report. If Joe Schmoe from East Butthole, Missouri is calling the Russian ambassador and suggesting no retaliation to Obama’s sanctions, it’s NBD. If it’s the incoming National Security Advisor, it’s a very big deal indeed.

And Schiff running the public hearings in October? Who could ask for more?

Does this mean that if I identify a murderer and he turns out to be a Republican, I could be accused of political interference, and my testimony voided, because I am a Democrat?
:thinking:

Give me a call when they release the transcript to show how innocent the call was…

I don’t know. SIP from my window, I really couldn’t tell if he was pinned, or just laying quietly underneath doing repairs. Perhaps Supernatural… or how about NCIS?

Game of thrones. With rewinds to catch things I think I may have missed. Many, many rewinds.

[Come to think of it, I have never watched the British Coronation Street series. Starting with episode one, it will be a slog. There are only 60 years of it. ]

My dear, Golding is a fiction writer. He’s not making a point about you personally, and I daresay he’s commenting on the class system in Britain no less than he’s formulating a view on the nature of man.

And let’s just say some people are lovely.

Something tells me that Rand really really really doesn’t want to hear what Obama actually knows.

But he’s dumb enough to think he does.

Yes, I would love to hear what the fucking traitor had to say to the Russians! Since we are going down that path reveal all the shit!!!

Rand Paul is saying (on Twitter) that Biden was the one who unmasked Flynn, and that no one else is responsible for it.

so it’s painfully obvious that this is Trial Balloon Three, after the Hunter Biden and Tara Read trial balloons burst and covered the Trumpies with Eau de Failure and a heaping helping of Desperation.

Naw, they’ll let him go, it’s all coordinated.

They always forget that there are Democrats on the committees who also get to ask questions.

I did read it and I’m not surprised by it. Golding’s a fiction writer and telling a story to make a point.

They know all of this, but it doesn’t sell Tampons and Pickup Trucks and Beer as well as a good old “SCANDAL!!!” they can mindlessly flog instead of doing actual “Journalism” (cause it’s Hard!")

I hope Democrats are ready to deal with this propaganda attack properly. Cold, clinical debunking isn’t enough for this kind of shitstorm.

Democratic leaders need to say “yes, we investigated Mike Flynn because he was hiding his work with a foreign government! He was breaking the law and that’s why the FBI was investigating him! That’s why he pled guilty and why President Trump fired him! The Republicans are engaged in full-throttle disinformation to protect a felon and this has got to stop!”

Impossible. Trump doesn’t give a shit about people earning less than $40,000/year…unless they’re flipping his hamberders, etc…

Ah, thanks for that link. That´s precisely why I didn´t like Lord of the Flies: the take-away seemed to be that without some authority to keep us straight, we´re savages. I always thought that authority was necessary to make us really turn savage (e.g., The Holocaust).

I never liked Hobbes, either. Leviathan was just another justification for an authoritarian leader.

At that point, Biden would be required to keep mum about this owing to national security laws and regs. Pretty sure he’d have nothing to say.
