Wow. McCabe says this regarding the Russia report:

"There is some very, very serious, very specific undeniable intelligence that has NOT come out ... that would risk casting the president in a very negative light."

[MustLoveBeagles]

1. K&R

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. and WHY are we not shining that light on it???

[Nevilledog]

4. Classified

[H2O Man]

5. Two possibilities:

1- More of it will become known under the next administration.
2- It would reveal sources & methods.

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. maybe 3. it is far beyond trump and shows current R members of congress beshitted

[H2O Man]

14. Great point.

[hatrack]

21. Independence Day In Moscow, 2018?

That came to mind, I must admit.

[onecaliberal]

37. That's exactly it.

[Eyeball_Kid]

49. McCabe specifically referred to a very bad light being cast on Trump. n/t

[uponit7771]

63. +1

[elias7]

35. Screw sources and methods when our country is at stake

At some point, you have to draw a line. What’s the point in protecting sources and methods if the intelligence never becomes actionable, when protecting sources outweighs protecting our democracy.

[H2O Man]

48. I think it is

likely that more information will be declassified after January. That is a good thing.

I'm catching up on some of the Senate committee hearings in recent days. I think we all knew Lindsey Graham and his beast fiend republican friends were only doing this to try to help Trump's re-election hopes. And I am confident that Lindsey was intent upon increasing his own chances.

[GulfCoast66]

9. It's classified. PE Biden may change that.

[brush]

16. He said it right in the video. The intel sources would be revealed...

and thus be put in danger. Which means most of that intel will never get out. trump again lucks out, but at least we got his ass out.

[certainot]

43. because it's about russia using rw radio for maybe 15 years

[Skittles]

3. can you even imagine

what info they could have that could possibly make Trump seem more disgusting than we already know him to be?

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. there is no bottom to that particular swamp

[First Speaker]

10. My guess is that it involves blackmail...

...Trump actively aiding Russian agents in blackmailing US politicians. Graham is obvious. But how about Ted Cruz, say? Trump openly suggested his father *helped assassinate JFK*. And yet, Mountie Boy has totally ignored this, and acted as one of Trump's chief lap dogs. Either he has no moral center whatsoever--always a possibility for "conservative" pols--or else, he's been forced to do what he's doing. Yes, this is just a guess, but if I were a betting man, I'd put hard cash down that mass blackmail has been *one* of the things going on the past five years...

[belpejic]

19. I'd like to know what he has on Justice Kennedy's kid.

And who paid Bart O'Kavanaugh's debts.

And what he's got on Yertle.

[58Sunliner]

24. Oh yeah. I'd take that bet.

[bamagal62]

41. I've been saying this from the get go.

[Skittles]

52. you are right about Cruz

most guys would kick your ass for saying their wife is ugly, even if she IS ugly

*on edit, I mean this in the general sense; I am in no way commenting on Mrs. Cruz, I don't even know what she looks like, irrelevant

[obamanut2012]

70. She isn't ugly -- she looks a bit like the actress Ana Gasteyer imo

Not my type at all, but not some hideous gorgon. Not that it matters at all, as you said.

[tblue37]

78. Ted Cruz's wife is perfectly nice looking:

[Skittles]

82. wow, yes

it just kills me that Trump has the NERVE to comment on the looks of others - he looks RIDICULOUS

[H2O Man]

13. I say that nothing

can surprise me any more. Yet, this very evening, while watching the news, I questioned if someone tabbed me with the brown acid from Woodstock. If not, Trump is becoming more repulsive by the minute -- almost like in the Monster Movie Matinee series I watched in the mid-1960s.

[58Sunliner]

31. I remember that line-"Don't eat the brown acid."

[Skittles]

51. at this point I feel like I never left the bum trip tent at Woodstock

it still feels like there is no end to the virus that is......Trump

[58Sunliner]

8. This is just BS. It should have been released.

[GulfCoast66]

15. Releasing classified information is a federal crime.

It’s easy for us on the internet to say they should do so. But we would not be facing time in the federal pen.

One of their biggest fears is Biden releasing the information. Not that it will change many minds. They will claim it is fake.

[58Sunliner]

23. You have a point if it's classified. But why is it?

But it seems as if that is abused to provide cover and means to a few, when the information should be critical to the understanding of the risks to Americans. I understand protecting sources, but that could be addressed.

[GulfCoast66]

26. Because the administration decided what gets classified and what gets unclassified.

Simple as that.

[58Sunliner]

29. It's not who, but why. In this case the who is the why. DT.

And that is contrary to the interests of the US, for whom DT has proven he has no regard for.

[GulfCoast66]

30. Well of course. But as president he has that power.

On January 21st he won’t.

[Captain Zero]

38. Can't be addressed if it's INSIDE THE KREMLIN

If the source inside the Kremlin is outed. It is dead along with all it's working contacts.

[CloudWatcher]

54. One exception ...

...under the Speech or Debate Clause, members of Congress “cannot be prosecuted for reading classified material into the public record– and it is up to them, and them alone, to decide what is worth talking about.”

[DrToast]

11. "If I lose, I may need to leave the country."

No kidding.

[a kennedy]

12. What does this mean ????

[safeinOhio]

17. Big pay off and someone

Cashed the check.

[LudwigPastorius]

28. That's my guess.

Money from Putin/Russian government going directly into Trump's pocket to influence U.S. foreign policy.

Specifics of where the cash originates, and how it got to Trump, can't be revealed because that would endanger U.S. intelligence assets embedded in the Russian government.

[GulfCoast66]

27. WTF are you talking about?

I assume you are aware that only the administration can decide what is classified and what is not. And that only the administration controlled DOJ can bring charges? Pelosi and Schumer have none of those powers. That’s why winning matters.

Stop blaming democrats for not taking actions they don’t have the power to take.

[certainot]

44. easy for you to say. maybe you live in a city. in the rest of the country all day it's

putin radio

[stopdiggin]

56. what exactly do Pelosi and Schiff

have to do with as yet unclassified material? We can all understand a certain level of frustration -- but your comments seem to be drifting toward a lack of understanding and knowledge. Do you really imagine that the House has the ability to impose their will on all the issues you ticked off? That's -- fairly misguided, at best.

"Twiddling their thumbs ..." ---- -- -- ----

[Buckeye_Democrat]

20. Trump's probably giving identities and locations of our...

... secret agents to his buddy, Vlad, among other things.

[keithbvadu2]

39. One of our most highly guarded secrets is the location of our submarines on patrol. At one time Trum

One of our most highly guarded secrets is the location of our submarines on patrol. At one time Trump publicly told Russia and China how many to look for near Korea, (two).

[cstanleytech]

25. Not to mention a number of other potential Republicans like Moscow Mitch. nt

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

32. This is the kind of crap I have no patience with.

Basically he's saying, "I know something you don't know."

Big Fucking Deal. Either tell us, or shut up.

[LudwigPastorius]

45. There are ways to get indictments that are dependent on classified information, but...

when the Attorney General & the DOJ are in Trump's pocket, all that spilling info to the press will do is get McCabe prosecuted and get U.S. intelligence assets outed.

[Eyeball_Kid]

59. McCabe plays peek-a-boo with something horrible that's known about Trump on the same day...

... that John Kelly directs severe criticism at Trump for forbidding his staff to work on the Biden transition.

There's a message here. This is a show of power. Trump had better listen.

But, based upon what we know about Trumpy-Boy, he'll seethe with defiance and will now ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to work with the transition team. No one tells him what to do.

If Kelly is a strategic thinker (McCabe certainly is), then he's working a strategy that's manipulating Trump. And my guess is that he is. A strategic thinker can reasonably predict what a reaction to a message will be. Kelly is manipulating Trump to heighten his rigidity about not working with the transition team. He wants Trump to overreact.

Both McCabe and Kelly know that Trump is vulnerable.

This is like a Shakespearian play.

[Codeine]

75. Exactly. It's playground bullshit

that normal humans grow out of.

[triron]

76. Perhaps McCabe is hinting that more will be revealed once the Biden administration takes office?

[TalenaGor]

33. Pee tape

[The Animator]

34. My guess, it's worse than just a pee tape.

We know he was frequently in Epstien’s orbit.

Putin probably has him compromat with underage girls.
Maybe really underage...

[Captain Zero]

40. Maybe really underage corpses

That were alive when the taping started.

[Eyeball_Kid]

60. My guess: communications with Putin/Russia that's compromising. Putin has Trump over a barrel.

McCabe's organization specializes in intercepting cables, or telephone calls, transmitted documents, and emails. That's the intelligence community's stock-in-trade. McCabe knows that world. He's known something "horrible" about Trump for a long time, and it's probably one of the reasons that Trump got rid of McCabe.

Remember when McCabe was fired by Trump? McCabe seemed to have this look on his face that said to Trump, "You have no idea what I know about you. You're a fool to play with this (IC) world."

[flotsam]

36. If this is true

I expect Joe Biden will have a highly confidential chat with the GOP leadership whom I expect to become quietly very compliant to the new Presidents requests and suggestions...

[onetexan]

50. Bingo!!

[herding cats]

55. If this is true then there would be future capitulating in the Senate.

Which means, we shall see. So far the vile wretch McConnell hasn't broken ranks. Time will tell as to the veracity here.

I did see Michael Steele claiming McConnell would be more inclined than people expected of Biden's picks. Perhaps it's related down the twisted road? If McConnell loses his majority this might get extremely interesting.

[TeamPooka]

42. did Trump bury a dead hooker in the desert outside Las Vegas?

[KPN]

46. What would a true Patriot do? A genuine national hero?

[C Moon]

47. The GOP actually thought they were going to steal this election.

[Beartracks]

53. So it can't be made public... But can't our intelligence agencies act on it to protect the country?

I guess a lot depends on how bad a light it is.

=========

[roamer65]

57. It's probably part of a sealed indictment.

[Dirty Socialist]

58. Hmm...

Intriguing

[spanone]

61. K&R

[Hortensis]

62. This is the very opposite of news. Now, when even ANY bit comes out...

[uponit7771]

64. Nope, if Trump was videoed verbalizing nuclear codes to Vlad his worshipers would STILL obey his

... every word.

This is a cult and all he has to say is Pelosi made him do it and that's it, they'll believe it.

Dude was on tape admitting the virus was horrible and took little to no steps to mitigate it while S Korea has a 4.3% UE rate.

No, they worship Trump ... period.

[ananda]

65. Ermm.. since when has any news about Trump..

been anything but very negative?

[Mike 03]

66. Peter Strzok

makes the same claim in his book Compromised.

[Kid Berwyn]

72. Suspicious how Trump fired the nation's counterespionage leadership.

"All roads lead to Putin." -- Hon. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House

[Buckeyeblue]

67. My guess is there is probably more than 1 classified report that shows Trump sold us out

That's probably why they are stonewalling Biden getting classified briefings. The new administration I'm guessing has some ideas what they will find out. But I bet there will be some crazy surprises as well.

What will be interesting is will this information shake up anything.

[DeminPennswoods]

68. Trump's in hock up to his ears

with Russia via oligarachs Putin controls. It's nothing more complicated than that.

[BSdetect]

69. I would think that someone would take the "hit" if any, and release the details

WTF

Seriously, is there no cover for such a release as in the whistle blower act?

[genxlib]

71. Lots of speculation here regarding the classification

The common theme seems to be it is not being released only because it is classified. Meaning it could be de-classified or someone could break the law to release it.

However, you have to consider the possibility that the information is simply too valuable to release. Suppose for instance, that a high ranking person in Putin's immediate office is actually spying for us. He could be telling us important things about the Trump-Putin relationship. But that still might not be a big enough reason to risk his life or lose access to that source of intelligence.

I am convinced that Republicans often leverage classified situations in a very cynical manner knowing that the truth can't come out. For instance, my personal conspiracy theory is that Benghazi had something to do with a CIA classified operation that went horribly wrong. But they still hammered Clinton for it knowing she couldn't tell the truth about what really happened.

[triron]

73. Recall the somber looks on Feinstein's and Grassley's faces after that intelligence briefing a few

years ago.

[triron]

74. knr!!!!

[MyMission]

77. What if he's selling secrets, committing treason?

Seriously, that's the big question. Selling arms, issuing contracts, that's grift. But giving away or selling secrets, names, locations, protocols, etc to undermine our safety is something he's certainly done and will continue to do. Many agencies are aware of this through back channels, other governments, and our own Intel which is functioning but compromised.

So, If the president commits treason what can we do about it? We're in totally new territory.
The Senate won't act, as many GOP are complicit, and they maintain a sitting prez can't be prosecuted?!? I think our founders design was the Congress and Senate would bring impeachment charges if such a thing happened.

Could the new congress file treason charges, that might implicate some in the Senate?
If some in the Senate are implicated, they would not get to vote in impeachment hearings.
If impeachment hearings were started, would he resign and get pence to pardon him?

I'm just thinking about this as I read your post.
They must have outright proof of his treasonous acts. Now that Biden is coming in, they can report it to someone who will act on it, not bury it, not fire them for reporting it, not make their lives hell, etc.

And let's not forget about the sedition, plotting a coup, firing of key personnel and replacing them with loyalists.

If they're saying this information could cast the president in very negative way, it must be really bad.

[triron]

80. Bet it's really bad too.

[Blue Owl]

79. Uh oh... DO TELL!!!

[AwakeAtLast]

81. I knew it!

I knew that had to be the reason he was withholding the intelligence!

[Brainfodder]

83. Hey! He said not to call him smart!
