Russia Investigation Heating Up

[time4fun]

Time to pierce this veil of privilege.



Then there's this. Akward!

Wow. I missed that. That's...not a good look for the RNC.

Ya baby. That's our sleeper there. I have a lot of hope riding on SDNY



I almost miss Bannon now. Kind of like how I catch myself looking back fondly on W's presidency.

Anyone watching MSNBC? Chis Mathews opened his show with these words:

"Today the FBI raided the offices of the personal attorney to the President of the United States of America"

That kind of impacted me. It's straight news, no spin, but a heavy heavy sentence.

Time4fun, What do you mean Trump knew before he was told?

CNN reported this:

A White House official said Trump had been watching TV reports of the FBI raiding Cohen's office, and that Trump knew about the raid before the news broke.

What you said was factually incorrect. I've included specifically why it was appointed. Don't be upset because you are a fool.

That's not slinging shit, that is stating a fact, based upon years of your political posts.

Sorry, you're wrong. As usual.

CNN reported this:

Zomg! It’s happening!!!!

Hillary 4 prez!!11one

Thanks T4f.

One of the Fox "Judges" called this Seismic. He also did point out that the warrant was prepared or signed off by a Trump appointee. The guy who replaced Pareet Bahara.

I don't know if this a thing or not, but I'm flipping between Fox, MSNBC and CNN. Fox seems to be all commercials. It's frustrating. I wonder if either the other two bumped their commercials for the breaking news or Fox pumped it up to not highlight the breaking news. Or...I'm imagining things

Now Fox is all up in Syria news and slagging off on Obama. LMAO. Predictable.

It's a thing in the sense that I don't think that the sentence, "The personal lawyer to the President of the United States has been subjected to a series of no-knock warrants for potential bank fraud, wire fraud, and election violations" has ever been uttered before today.

Again- it was nothing short of brilliant of Mueller and Rosenstein to refer this to the FBI instead of expanding the scope of their investigation.

The people who made the decisions to apply for- and grant of course- the warrant were not associated with the Mueller investigation. Retaliating against Mueller will be very difficult.

Fox News is nothing but pro-Trump propaganda. It's no wonder they're rated the least trustworthy news organization these days.

The Hoarse Whisperer

Best Infrastructure Week yet.

I agree with the Hoarse

It's a thing in the sense that...

I mean the commercial breaks. When bad news for trump is cycling do right wing stations run more commercials. When bad news for trump is breaking do news organization run less commercials. I know they'll run less when there's breaking news but do stations run more when they want to blunt the news cycle?

OH. I think the networks just all time their commercial breaks at the same time so people don't channel surf and find another channel.

CNN is reporting that these warrants were largely related to Stormy Daniels, but they grabbed communications between Cohen and the Trump campaign as well, of course, as between Cohen and Trump.

Trump is mostly lashing out at Rosenstein and Sessions tonight.

I suspect he's considering trying to force Sessions to fire Rosenstein, and- if not- will try to force Sessions to resign.
