Malcolm Nance: These people need to be getting lawyers and cutting deals

[eleny]

On tv with Joy Reid just now. He said that "the FISA warrant authorized the NSA to turn on the full collection power of the United States. When we have both sides of the conversation - you are gonna get caught."

So these aides could be cutting deals to help nail the bigger fish in the fetid pond.

1. Also good to hear Nance's POV regarding the Russian SigInt trawler off the East Coast.

In a nutshell - no big deal, they're always out there. Is it connected to the 35 guys getting kicked out...maybe, but it's a pretty common thing to see.

I just love listening to the pros putting things into perspective.

2. Couple of Malcolm tweets (recording Joy, will tune in momentarily, thanks!)

1. Trump staffers caught by NSA/CIA in comms w/Russian Intelligence services during election. We are now fully in Benedict Arnold territory.

2. We are one step away fm Trump in direct collusion w/ Putin. Election legitimacy now in full question. A Constitutional Crisis is coming.

4. When you can watch it note how Nance said he predicted this 7 months ago

I record Lawrence's program every night so I still have it. I backed up the show as it was live several times to keep hearing what Nance and the other guest were asserting. It was a heck of a segment.

And now, the first guest on The 11th Hour program was hair raising. He laid out the circumstances and the implications so clearly that it's sinking in more and more for me that I wouldn't be surprised if Trump found a way to step down. His actions during the campaign and after the inauguration have been antithetical to American foreign policy. Now Katy Tur is speaking about Trump and why he was so pro Russia during that time. They're plugging in the cast of characters into the timeline and it's frightening.

Trump absolutely has to come out with a statement from the Oval Office. He has to be sitting behind his desk and speak to the nation and the world. Deny it or come clean and step down. Something.

12. Something, anything - sure feels like it's time, it is TIME. I haven't gotten to Malcolm on

Joy yet because I am now reading up on this Roger Stone jackal, whom everyone knows about but moi, due to ignorance. Omg omg. Like - no wonder this is all happening, with this - animal so deeply involved. Omg a billion times. Hair raising indeed!!!!

But I thank you again, and I will make it to Malcolm in a bit - oh, I check his tweets all the livelong day and yep, he posted this this evening:


@MalcolmNance

Really getting tired of being right about this. 6 mos running. Can we move straight to #impeachment please? twitter.com/nytmike/status…

32. Has no one mentioned he has broken his Constitutional oath already???????

The same as the guys who also had to take the oath and then had to resign???

[eleny]

33. Yes, in terms of monetizing his office

There's just so much splatter flying off the fan that it's hard to remember where I saw things. But it might have been Joy Reid's weekender.

Surely, he's broken his oath in more ways than that, though.

3. Is this even possible?

Peter Daou‏ @peterdaou

With the staggering revelations about #Flynn, Trump and Russia...
IS THIS THE RIGHTFUL PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?




I don't know how to post tweets and no account.

[triron]

7. As far as I'm concerned.

[Adrahil]

9. You get my last heart...

My own heart is still broken.

[KewlKat]

18. Thank you for the heart. So many of our hearts are broken......

perhaps the damn is broken and the truth will come flooding out to release us all from this nightmare and treasonous administration.

[NBachers]

35. Yes, Hillary's the rightful President of the USA. This needs to be in front of every person.

[iluvtennis]

37. You did a good job as that is Peter Daou tweet as I follow him on twitter. nt

[oasis]

5. Christmas in July......or even earlier.

[eleny]

8. On the bright side it doesn't appear that it'll take as long as Nixon's fall if T is at the center

On the down side it's just so sad for the country to have to go through this most exhausting episode.

[oasis]

14. Americans now see the need to get off of their lazy asses and VOTE.

That's the only good thing.

[eleny]

22. Right, because we have to overcome the fact that people are bumped off the rolls

And they don't even know it. They vote on a provisional ballot that doesn't get counted. So we've got to come out in droves.

[oasis]

27. "The better informed voters are, the more they tend to vote for Democrats".

Bill Clinton said something along those lines. The incoming DNC leadership needs to focus on educating voters on the pros and cons of the issues.

[eleny]

28. Conservative Paul Weyrich said it all...

"“I don’t want everybody to vote,” he said. “Elections are not won by a majority of people. They never have been from the beginning of our country, and they are not now. As a matter of fact our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.”

[oasis]

29. Yup, the nation is crawling with those types. nt

[eleny]

34. He's long gone but his political progeny slither in every corner

[triron]

6. That caught my attention as well

[eleny]

11. I still have caution when it comes to Nance

It seems like he was involved in a lot of stuff. Stuff that if we knew it all we might be taken aback and maybe even not go along with all of it.

But he knows the mechanics of the system and has been teaching us a lot. Like he said - he predicted this 7 months ago.

[Turn CO Blue]

10. And Brian Williams was so struck by that statement that he quoted it on his show. yay! n/t

[jmg257]

13. What are the charges for collusion about an election? What are they facing?

[eleny]

16. Don Lemon's headline is "Trump aides were in constant touch with senior Russian officials...

...during the campaign".

Constant?! ................. .................

[KewlKat]

21. rachael had "repeated".....hm

[eleny]

36. It evolved over time on the networks

"Met with" became "repeated" which became "frequent" which became "constant".

[flamingdem]

15. This is the line I like: Election legitimacy now in full question.

cautiously feeling

[eleny]

17. Who said that line? Nance or Nada Bakos on with Joy Reid?

I didn't catch that. Thanks!!!

[flamingdem]

20. Nance, it's in the original post above

or go to his twitter, gotta love Nance

[flamingdem]

23. It's not in the OP, but it's on DU

can't find it now!

[eleny]

26. Yeah, I'm the OP, lol, and didn't recall writing that. But no matter...

I just missed it on the tv.

I have it recorded and will go back and watch that segment again. Heck, even Brian Williams's program was a must watch tonight. His first guest had me thinking, holy crap - Trump might have to resign. You know how it feels when the cast of characters gets plugged into the timeline and it all sinks in in a flash. How the puzzle all fits together and squeezes plausible deniability out of the picture.

[blue neen]

19. It's extremely hard to believe that Mitch McConnell knew nothing.

What did Mitch know and when did he know it?

[eleny]

24. Seems like a pretty crowded cabal

[blue neen]

25. Indeed, it does.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

[triron]

30. Same for Paul Ryan.

[blue neen]

31. Yep.

Paul Ryan's Lying Eyes.
