Russia Investigation Heating Up

[Neveragain]

Now, back to regular business while we wait for PB to come back and fall apart.

CNN reporting this evening that Trump has begun some prep for his Mueller interview. That would seem to suggest that they're at least considering accepting (honestly, at this point they may just figure that waiting for a subpoena would make the press around this much, much worse). It would also seem to suggest that the last meeting with Mueller has changed the equation a bit. (Which would also explain why Dowd left around that time)



CNN is also reporting tonight that one of Trump's advisers during the campaign went to the FBI with what he claimed were Clinton's deleted email:



Remember all those times Trump and his campaign denied any contact with Russia?

Yeah.

That assumes collusion actually happened, which has not been proven. Please try again.

You keep on saying collusion. Collusion is not the only thing being investigated here, as has been stated since day 1.

K. Let me know when you find something.

Something like the 18 or so indictments already handed out? Okay.

Let me know when this proves Trump did anything.

LMAO. This is so typical.

As always, you are a source of endless amusement. Let's show the class how "not" upset you are by me:

This is the negative rep you kept coming back to my old posts to give me- over and over again- when I hadn't posted publicly here for months:



I can't imagine being so upset that someone told me I was wrong that I would go back to their old posts for 5 months after I believed they had left a forum to give them fake digital negative reputation every few weeks- and to keep having a one sided conversation with them.

It was a pretty consistent source of amusement for me and the people I laughed about it with, but at the same time such a deeply sad reflection of how extraordinarily upset I made you by pointing out that you were wrong.

But, I digress. Tell me some more about that masterful control you have over your emotions

So, you don't know when someone is upset and when someone isn't. Ok. Not surprised I have to slow talk this for you, but here, I will give you clear cut examples of someone who is not in control of their emotions and is clearly upset:

Well this is really not a fun night. No matter what, the alt-right won tonight

He's getting FL and NC. Thanks Comey. I hope everyone enjoys the new dictator.

The big issue here though is MI. If that's lost, the country is in a lot of trouble.

This is the scariest political moment in my lifetime

An authoritarian who abuses minorities for votes just got control of all three branches of government. What could possibly go wrong with this plan?

But for some of us- this is beyond terrifying. I'm so scared for my family that I'm literally sick to my stomach.

A colleague of mine showed up to work on the edge of tears today. Mike Pence is already talking about the LGBTQ rights he's looking forward to dismantling, and he's one of the most anti-gay elected officials in the country. He's responsible for one of the freedom to discrimination/freedom of religion bills. Her sister called her up sobbing, terrified of what this is going to mean for her. I broke down too- what does this mean for my other brother who happens to be gay?

Anyone in our situation would worry. We'd be insane not to.

I feel so useless.

This is what life is now I guess. Scared one brother is going to be deported, scared another brother is going to lose his rights, and wondering how much it's going to cost me to cover insurance for two siblings who are going to lose it otherwise.

These are the human consequences of the election. No amount of dismissal, sarcasm, or heartless amusement will change the reality of it for families like mine.

Do me a favor- don't act like the horrible situation we're in is somehow inevitable. You can dismiss the pain, you can act like a fun overseas romp of your own volition is akin to the fear of having your family ripped apart to placate the masses, and you can hypocritically mansplain to me about sacrifices you will never understand.

But don't you dare do all of that and have the nerve to say you wish my family well.

Because you don't.

Someone's definitely not very good at this.

Huge difference between those posts and the glamorous wonderful life she has now. I mean EVERYTHING IS AWESOME when she speaks on LNET.

New job, travel, blunts this, blunts that...

Trump has made her life super awesome wonderful and this is the thanks he gets.

This investigation has brought you nothing. Keep up the hope though, it's very amusing.

Looks like I hurt someone's feelings again.

Like everything else, you aren't very good at this.
