1. We need to focus on American oligarchs as well as Putin. We have our own, homegrown traitors.

[Hortensis]

2. +10,000. Our domestic enemies FAR more dangerous than foreign.

A lot is coming out in the investigation into Russian meddling that, hopefully, will force specific investigation into domestic sedition and corruption. The entire Republican leadership could go down those flames, though...

[jalan48]

4. I agree. I think we make a mistake when we turn it into all about Russia and Putin.

[Hortensis]

6. Oh, yes. BIG battles for power at high levels, and

Russia'd be nothing if Putin wasn't entering battle on behalf of the Republicans.

The MSM hasn't been pushed out of its safe-while-silent mode into taking on our centimillionaire/billionaire donor classes yet. Please let the Mueller investigation, and the findings of investigative journalism, break it so wide open the fourth estate can no longer be suppressed.

11. Mueller is probably already under great pressure to leave American billionaires out of it

Well other than the big orange turd (hopefully)

[jalan48]

22. I think the media would rather focus on Russia-keeps the spotlight off of American Oligarchs.

20. Koch bros, the Mercers

and Sheldon Adelson anyone?

[Wellstone ruled]

3. You got to be kidding,Not.

So Snoty Scotty was up to his eyeballs with this group. This is going to be one hell of a story.

5. CA and in 2016 WI goes GOP for POTUS first time in 32 years.

This raises serious questions about the connections between Scott Walker’s 2014 re-election and 2015 presidential campaigns and this growing international scandal from the 2016 election that saw Wisconsin surprisingly go Republican for president for the first time in 32 years," said Analiese Eicher, program director at the liberal group One Wisconsin Now.

14. Ask Preibus

that is all

[Hortensis]

17. You know more than I do. I understand he's been close

friends with Ryan for decades, mostly in WI. Googling Priebus with CA doesn't bring up anything. Maybe they just did it the old-fashioned way, a blizzard of money and strictly old-fashioned dirty tricks.

Nah.

[malaise]

18. Go back to the 2011 teachers' strike and protests and the state ReTHUGs reactions to them

Then ask Feingold how they robbed him?

Some of the Wisconsin ReTHUGs were involved in election stealing from high school and college days.

[Hortensis]

19. Will do.

[magicarpet]

7. You know fellow DUers if you do not kick and recommend....

.... a thread it sinks to the bottom of the list and then disappears from the front page.

462 folks viewed the CA link to Wisc./Team Walker but only 9 bothered to rec. this important piece of the total puzzle story.

You gotta rec. - especially on weekends or good important stories fall by the wayside real fast and get only minimal exposure.

[erronis]

10. I understand. I sometimes forget that a Rec is not positive vote for the article

Just something I think others may want to read.

That being said, I'd really like Rec's for individual posts/replies. I know valentine hearts are that way and are a way to raise $s for DU.

And since I'm in a wish-mode, how about a separate thumbs-up/down to say whether or not I agree. OK - I just went way too far.

Rec for this article on its way....

[magicarpet]

15. Just trying to give good stuff wider exposure.....

.... so more people read and digest.

A little appreciation to the folks here that dig down into the media landscape and bring back helpful info to keep us abreast of current political events.

[triron]

23. Thanks!

I really did not expect much response when I posted. And then sometimes I post or see other posts
which I think are very important but they get sparse or no response. Mysterious to me.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

8. K&R. Important stuff! n/t

[cp]

9. No end to How LOW Can Wanker Go?

This story should be key to whoever runs against Wanker this November.
Thank you, triron.

[BadgerMom]

12. K and R

[FakeNoose]

13. This happened in 2013 and the guy said NOTHING?

Who even knew that Trump would be the candidate?

In 2013 some people thought Paul Ryan would be running for President in 2016.
This proves that the Mercer-sleeze goes way back.

[riversedge]

25. Mark Block is a Gop operative. Why is he talking NOW??

[bluestarone]

16. We will get them little by little BUT

WE WILL GET THEM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[magicarpet]

21. Drip, drip, drip..... soon to be a raging torrent...

..... of Mueller criminal RICO indictments.

[Pluvious]

24. K and R - spread the word n/t

[UCmeNdc]

26. Kick!
