I agree with you on what actually happened.

I'm just saying that unless they had a bug in his office and they were discussing boning little kids, he could have plausibly written it off as nothing then, and will do so now.

But they are not denying it or saying it's fake news. They are saying it's consistent with his testimony.

I believe Ben Carson has not talked to Russians.

I wouldn't call it a non-story but it's definitely not a blow to Sessions' position as AG and within the administration. They will continue to lie and lie. It's up to Congress and possibly even Obama stepping back into the spotlight to produce an actual investigation.

Lol Obama is at the beach bro he ain't gonna be back for a while.

I need to be more judicious with my use of the term fake news. What I meant to convey was that the WH doesn't have to deny the facts to deny that it's a real story that should get play.

This isn't an action movie. Obama ain't coming back and the optics on it would be awful

Idk. He cared enough to push the intel the last few days in office. He didn't wash his hands and get senioritis. The NYT article said up until the last hours of the administration were they mining intel data on the connections. That doesn't seem like the move of someone who is going to sit on the sidelines. He'll show back up at some point soon.

Oh I agree the WH will spin this. ****, they already are. It's what they do. LOL.

I just think this will be another breadcrumb in the trail that eventually gets Trump impeached. Watergate took 2 years. This will take time as well.

Yea, I'm trying to look into this.

I can afford about $10 a month. I want to put it to good use and get the most bang for my buck.

I've narrowed it down but after this, I think I'm going w/ WaPo.

Yea we are definitely getting a special prosecutor out of this. Even the dumb R lady going to bat for Sessions absurd defense of 'I was acting as a senator not as part of the Trump campaign' said we need a special prosecutor.

I love newspapers anyway I subscribe to everything and I get paper copy nyt and philly daily news. I've said it a few times in this thread and I really believe it to be true. In these times the free press is the only thing that really stands between us and a dictator like trump.

I hope the media stays focused tomorrow on the key issue. **** his immigration bill, let fondness report on it. I wish everyone would blast this story for a week and the powder keg will blow. Focus people!! Focus!!!!!!!

I think at this point everyone minus faux news and bannons garbage site have joined one side. The enemy is clear, all sane people know who they are. Media has to be one unit right now.

No we're not. The AG is the one who appoints special prosecutors.
