all this talk of assassination on the 36th anniversary of the Reagan assassination attempt.

This

FTFY

Nothing to hide I am sure. All of this is normal to fight fake news.

Comey definitely has a sense of humor. LOL.




Heh, he locked his account. I can't post the one tweet he put up.

It's a meme of Ron Burgundy saying "Actually I'm not even mad. That's amazing."

Still not getting my popcorn ready. Not exactly sure what crime Flynn is requesting immunity from.

lol BillO.

I agree that CA's ability to sway the election was much lower than some are making it out to be (in part because they didn't actually do some of the stuff they said they could) but here's how this would actually work:

- Take the voter file and cross-reference against a few thousand household-level data providers
- Look for things like registered party, propensity to vote, which primaries they vote in, etc
- Build correlations around the other data and use that to build FB interest and demographic targeting that can be focused down to the 5-digit zip
- Do a ****ton of testing around various kinds of messaging and basically live in the Facebook Insights tool that lets you break performance down by all kinds of variables

The other interesting thing would be how they used email lists to build custom audiences and lookalike audiences for marketing. I assume (and hope) the campaigns have all kinds of info on each email address, what emails they open, what they do on the site, etc, and can come up with strategies for advertising different messages to them on other platforms.

Flynn seeking immunity only so that he is not unfairly swept up in the witch hunt.

told ya these rats wouldn't take the fall for him

Odds the known liar just lies about a bunch more stuff?

Checked the books today, Trump being impeached went from 4-1 to 3-1

Does Flynn actually have something or is he just covering his tracks? I find it hard to believe Donald could conceal working with Russia so well if he did.

Chris Hayes reporting that there's no way the committee will give him immunity, so the immunity thing doesn't mean Flynn will testify, at least not at this point.

Why would he lie if he's offered immunity? If he's caught lying a 2nd time, he'll never see the sun again.

Ollie North got congressional immunity, it did not mean that he flipped just that his lawyers told him to insist on immunity before talking. Flynn is same situation.

Immunity deals as I understand them (don't practice criminal) are often very strict. If you are caught in a single misrepresentation, the deal is pulled and what you've testified to can be used against you, along with a bonus perjury charge and a sentencing enhancement and disfavor from the judge. And in a high-profile case everything will be double-checked. It's not something to mess around with.

bigger news outlets also confirming flynn immunity story

Lying to the FBI, being a foreign agent without registering both come to mind

Also that ian samuel guy is correct, he'd be stupid to testify at all without immunity even if completely innocent

Maddow will have the WSJ reporter who broke that story on tonight

Shield GOAT

Yeah here's the thing just like with the Bridgegate underlings if you have real juice to flip you don't go to the media, but if you are innocent you don't put out a statement begging for immunity because you "have a story to tell".

What that public statement means is that Flynn doesn't want to go down but doesn't have the negotiating position to get immunity(either because the authorities already have what Flynn has or Flynn doesn't have anything worth immunity)

Presidential pardon?

in before fox news makes some big story about comey's twitter
