If your beat is the White House, you have contacts and sources. By past history you could be able to tell with a pretty good degree of certainty whether their information was credible. Finding out what's happening in the white house in response to Don Jr. is a totally reasonable assignment.

Your sources wouldn't talk to you at all if you insisted upon using their identities. Thus there is no story except for Sarah's propaganda. Maybe someday that's all we'll be able to get. Especially if people on both political sides are united in making that happen.

Meantime, you shouldn't conflate "off the record" with anonymous statements. Stuff that is off the record is agreed upon not to be reported.

we're already at this stage huh

Video shows Trump with associates tied to email controversy

(Video from June 2013 dinner in Vegas)

What was the exact language Trump used when he said he had no ties to Russia?

Meh, I think Frum's changing the words a bit here to make it sound worse

Reuters article

That is not saying "I see no wrong in working with Putin to tip an American election"

American abolitionist and freedom fighter John Brown:

Known for: Pottawatomie massacre

Cause of death: Execution by hanging


no thanks

There is a nice timeline to these things. 4 hrs after the date and time of the russia meeting is confirmed in the email Trump comes out to do a presser where hes teasing that he has dirt on clinton soon to come. A bit later in July at the convention the language on ukraine-russia policy is amended to be more light on russia. At the day the Trump camp is at its lowest with the access hollywood they get clinton wikileaks.

lmao senator lankford, who is on the senate committee investigating russian intervention, just said this email doesn't bring anything new to the table, and we already knew all about it

Sadly, he wasn't much of a tactician.

The Declaration of Independence war + rebellion was much more organized and well thought out and had resources behind it. Same with the Civil War but Lincoln had to fade a freakin' election in the middle of it plus beat the South just to win.

indeed, what I get for not looking up the dude that thought Iraq was a ****ing good idea.

It's likely Trump will be saying pretty much that by next week. One or two more revelations of obvious collusion. "Yeah we did it, what of it?" would honestly be Trump's 'smartest' move right now: rip off the band-aid and just start taunting people. The GOP would fall into line.

I thought einbert was supposed to quit spamming this thread with quotes from his favorite heroes. In any case, if anyone is deeply interested in John Brown, Cloudsplitter by Russell Banks is an interesting novel.

Yeah, I re-posted your Iran-Contra takes in P7 because they were fire. Let's just wait until that actually happens to spike the football.

This should be the subtitle of this entire thread.

The GOP's response to Trump over the last 12 months has been a complete disgrace. Romney is perhaps the only guy who has shown any consistent backbone re Trump, and even he has gone wobbly a few times.

GOP is trying to destroy democracy. And right now they're succeeding. Make no mistake about it.

0. Mostly because Mueller doesn't report to him, he reports to Rosenstein, who would be Wray's boss.

The FBI cannot impeach Trump. Mueller cannot impeach Trump.

Corporations destroyed democracy a long time ago.

Yea james woods is a first rate deplorable, his Twitter is riddled with proof. I was next to him in wsop event a few weeks ago. He tries to be just the nicest guy at the table. I was desperately looking for an opportunity for my first live slowroll but it never came.

You should've just started talking **** about his film career. Ironically, those who whine about "snowflakes" are usually very easy to trigger.

anything mueller can find, trump can pardon.

Capitalism will never treat people with the respect, dignity, and equality (democracy) that they deserve. That's not what it's designed to do.

I worked on a movie years ago with Woods. He's always been an A-list ****wad. Horrible person.
