It's kind of weird that Trump was going so hard at intelligence agencies for leaking #goldengate. He's basically admitting the intelligence agencies are taking the report seriously.

CNN has got to realize they can't put on Trump talking heads and expect better access to Trump. Trump doesn't play that kafab of news organizations ask semi probing questions even if they desire access because that's what they're supposed to do, he wants total glowing reporting or else. I guess it really depends on the rating though. If CNN's rating go up then the eternal fight between Trump and CNN might be good for CNN Trump talking heads or not.

Hahaha

An obvious BS question. How about asking him did you have any contact with Russia before the election in attempting to have them influence the election in your favor?

After a highly anomalous sporting result last year I put forward that I must be in a coma and imagining it because that is actually more probable.

After watching that press conference probability of coma has gone up exponentially, no way does that happen in the real world.

It's not that Presidents try and freeze out news organizations, Obama tried to do it with Fox News, it's that Fox New's competitors refused to cover Obama until he reinstated Fox News and Obama didn't try it again.

I would be interested in the contacts that he had with Russia during the election. The camp might have been a bit too broad but he should at least talk about any personal contacts or information relayed to him personally.

If so obviously bs why did the FBI get warrants to monitor some of his team because they suspected exactly that.

I thought the questioner said 'before or during'.

Yeah, 2 years of corruption will be enough to give Dems control of Congress. It'll be remarkably easy to impeach this guy given how flimsy his attempts to cover up his corruption have been.

You know, he could just say that - we talked but nothing improper. Oh wait he already doubled down before on not having any contact at all.

I think the question of "can he?" is irrelevant when the Trump's process of coming up with an idea. If it sounds good he'll say he'll do it. He's already promising the impossible with factory jobs returning.

Unfortunately the judges refused the warrants, which is unusual, so the FBI couldn't find out if there was anything going on or not. (Couldn't find out that way, at least.)

it is pretty impressive that the guy who won the office of the presidency still hasn't taken the time to learn what the president does or how our government works or what the constitution is.

The dems might get control of congress in 10 years. No way it happens in two years.

The silver lining in all of this is that actual anti corruption changes must come from this for the next party. What are the odds of dodging thermonuclear war for 1000+ days in a row? Anyone good with maths itt?

Yea hay is being made out of the initial FISA rejection with the fact that FISA supposedly rejects very few requests, but FISA rejects a lot of initial requests, and then ultimately accepts a lot of requests once they've been modified.
