Dean is not to be trusted.

Quote:

Since his career in politics ended, Dean has found a home in the K Street establishment he once held in such disdain. He’s a strategic adviser to McKenna, Long, and Aldridge, a major Washington lobbying firm whose clients have included health care and pharmaceutical companies. Dean has never registered as a lobbyist, as far as I know, but the distinction is largely illusory. In 2009, one CEO told the publication BioCentury that Dean was “very helpful” in their efforts to loosen federal regulations on drug development.” Another said that “Dean has been a great addition to our team.”

It looks like he still is.

It's almost as though they're mostly disingenuous liars.

OT: Given the thread already has 16k posts, and has the potential to become the bigliest 2+2 thread of all time, i threw together a Google sheet with daily posts, weekly posts and a few other things, where I'll try to keep track of the growth.

wait a second, trump just confirmed the wiretap, that means it technically isn't classified anymore.

Does that mean results of it can get leaked now?

Right to run against Putin without getting poisoned, for one.

At a conference watching Nate Silver interview Mark Cuban about the election. I'm not saying that he's gonna run, BUT Cuban didn't rule out a run and has clearly given a ton of thought about how to run against him. He is dropping straight fire on him.

(Little nugget for the stoners - Cuban said that if he ran, he'd announce at 4:20 on 4/20)

Lol the trump idiotologists are out in full force today on twitter "obama obama obama".

They have been so pent up since the inauguration that their hero and themselves have been kicked in the teeth daily. They think this is their road back to the glory days of the campaign.

It's literally obama obama obama gate obama.

Two possible lines of quid pro quo between Trump campaign and Moscow: money and espionage

That doesn't make it unclassified, that just means the president goofed.

How is the GOP not realizing that Pence will rubber stamp their agenda while not ruining their brand for a generation?

Oh baby don't get all excited. Is Pence immune to this Russian stuff? Seems if they all go down he might be too close to the Orange Ween to go unscathed.

if espionage is found will any of them do jail time? Who would you most like to see behind bars?

Near certain that Pence is in cahoots with all this.

Anecdotally, Trump supporters in my family still on board. I really don't think they know or care about the extent of the Russian connections to the Trump admin staff. They're just happy that their man got in.
