Well that or that he has a ****ton of memory loss.

Memory loss that remembers to time things perfectly with the media in every single instance.

Phew, it looks like the email from today's WaPo article is indeed real. After doing some research into the history of the people involved, it seems most likely that Papadopoulos, who is young and has no apparent skills, was put on the team because of his extensive connections to high up Russians and even Putin himself, and that Manafort, Clovis, and the others who had each already had Russian meetings before this email, were just providing cover for deniability later on. Much like drug dealers talk in clean-looking language (code) when they think someone could be listening.

Speaking of Manafort, I just came across this beauty. $850 million is the biggest amount we've seen from him yet, by quite a bit. FYI, Trump and (less likely) Jared seem to each be in the billions.

I'm starting to think people actually want this.

It's fun to have nazi's to punch. And if you win it's an accomplishment, rather than the same old slow grind of gradual, barely noticeable immediate improvement.

For those who think Russia fever is an illusion and seeing Putin involved everywhere is just "paranoia", remember that you're not paranoid when they really ARE out to get you.

The article doesn't really address the Nazi drumbeat that's been pounding louder and louder the last few months from the Putin propaganda machine. Between social media and alt-right hangouts, they've been pushing all kinds of calls to arms. It's a toss up to what has been more influential in the racist movement, POTUS dog whistling or Russian propaganda.

Keep in mind that the investigations have been looking into the Russian involvement of Breitbart and Infowars for quite some time now. PLEASE do Fox News too!

I know everyone is all over Charlottesville, which is good. The importance of nipping this **** in the bud is...well...really important. Otherwise this is only the very beginning.

The Alt-Right's Holocaust statue retaliation is just, yucky as ****. These bastards have major ambitions.

You just made me like you even more

If "us" is Democracy, uhhhh obviously?

Holy **** this is terrifying and extremely alarming.

Dont worry the right does not like big intrusive government...

They do, for different reasons though. Just look at how empty our government is right now. It's not the quantity of the staff, it's the quality of their loyalty and ability to keep a secret or two.

This video came to light during the election after he made his "I don't know who he is comments." I remember seeing it then. It didn't matter.

Did Trump just RT someone saying Trump is considering pardoning Arpaio because he's a fascist?

Why doesn't this Virginia DA step up and charge this scum with first-degree or capital murder?

Also deleted just now was a retweeted image of Trump brand train plowing into the CNN logo, with a person (looks like it's Jim Acosta) squished between the logo and the train. The text reads "Even fake news can't stop the Trump Train" next to it. Pretty violent.

Wilbur Ross is apparently going to get hit by Mueller for money laundering

He's gonna get all of them apparently

This just reminded me of Peter Smith's 81 year old suicide. Congress mentioned that they were investigating it a couple of months back. We haven't heard anything since. Obviously they either found nothing and dropped it off their list, or they found something(s) sensitive and dropped it off to Mueller. The suicide note makes it a coin flip IMO.

For anyone else who forgot, here are cliffs:

WSJ reporter meets with GOP operative Peter Smith and he tells them about his team working together with Mike Flynn to secure Hillary's lost emails from Russia. 10 days after the interview, Smith dies. Even though none of the details of his death were revealed by family, local law enforcement, investigators and the obituary, people didn't give it much thought because of his age.

Fast forward maybe a week or two and we find out the same reporter had spoken to Smith's staffers, one of whom confirmed that in addition to Flynn, Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway and Sam Clovis (sound familiar from WaPo yesterday?) were also working on the Clinton emails.

Shortly after that story broke in the WSJ, the details of Smith's death came out. The Rochester police released the following note:

Sweet. I guess laundering is the biggest/easiest to go after. Any other benefits to charging that first?

Link? Where you hearing this?

Colbert to Scaramucci on denouncing Nazis: Two days later though. Does he order his spine from Amazon Prime?

Just had a search and it seems to be only coming from the twitter account @truefactsstated, who IIRC works with Louise Mensch and is a similar level of fraud and moron

Was pretty shocked when I saw that. How ****ing tone deaf can you be?

Seth Abramson put together the longest Twitter chain in history about the investigation yesterday and I don't think he mentioned it.

you mean "true democracy"
