Rachel has done it again!

2 reports that are breaking news. One about immigrants from those 7 verboten countries and the other about the 2 investigations into trumps communications with Russia.
The 2 top men in the the two investigations-one for the house and one for the senate have been calling the news and leaking that there is no there there. Just like the white house wants.

Catch the show when you can.

For each other? I'm sick about this one. I'm afraid the Intelligence Community is on its own here. I hope they're up to it. Who would have ever thought that saving the Republic would come down to the Press and the IC.

1. trump wanted a report from intel about the 7 countries showing that immigrants from there are dangerous.
2. The intel couldn't show what trump wanted, so the report was going to be buried.
3. It got leaked to the news instead.

Second scandal

1. Today at CPAC trump was going on and on about unnamed sources. Those sources should have names.

2. The head of the senate investigation into trump/Russia and the head of the republican investigation into trump/Russia both were asked by the white house to call the news and tell them there was nothing there.

3. The news put the names to the leaks by those two, so everybody knows those are bogus investigations.

but it's only been one month. I think one or more of the intelligence agencies are making sure this damn thing is properly nailed down and air-tight.

‘He will die in jail’: Intelligence community ready to ‘go nuclear’ on Trump, senior source says


On Wednesday, former NSA intelligence analyst John Schindler provided some insight into the reaction of national security officials.

“Now we go nuclear,” he wrote on Twitter. “[Intelligence community] war going to new levels. Just got an [email from] senior [intelligence community] friend, it began: ‘He will die in jail.'”

“US intelligence is not the problem here,” Schindler added in another tweet. “The President’s collusion with Russian intelligence is. Many details, but the essence is simple.”

That's fine with me, actually.

Make it official you worthless fuck. Flee to Russia and die there under "perfectly natural" circumstances.

It seems that, every day on DU, the one that is going to bring down Chump is reported. I think it is just more wishful thinking.

But I hope that drip by drip there is eventually going to be a broken dam of evidence against 45. It took a couple of years for Nixon to go down. We must GOTV in 2018 and any special elections before then. (Sort of OT but there is a safe Dem seat in Congress that may go R because court said the Dem didn't reside in his district. We have to pay attention to these issues all over the country.)

I was noticing the post above yours, by Trust Buster, referencing "Chump" as the current illegitimate squatter in OUR White House. The last time we had a CON in there (to some of us an equally illegitimate squatter in OUR White House), he was referred to as "Chimp."

Chimp and then Chump. The GOP just keeps on reachin' for the top, don't they.

At this rate, the next time one of theirs takes a round in OUR White House, what's it gonna be? A republi-CON foodie (or maybe one who grinds his teeth)? Then we'd have Chimp, Chump, and Chomp!
