Donald Fires FBI Director who's investigating Russian Election Hacking

Except it seems to be tied to the Russia Gate crap, nor is it being washed out or ignored. Weird comment.

I don't think so. I bet, I hope I'm wrong, that this gets mostly ignored from here on out. I understand its linked but what I mean is that in rush to sensationalize everything important things like this will get robbed of the gravity they deserve.

I kind of see where you're coming from, but if he gets confirmed it will be because Republicans in Congress decide this doesn't matter.

I'm not following the thread, but have you guys talked about the latest Wikileaks-Trump Jr connection?
 
Saw a tweet that got a ton of press and retweets. It was some guy talking about Trumps Asia trip and all the tension and what not. Basically the punch line was "lol we're all gonna die."

Pretty much

My favorite was the 'All it took was 40 years and Putin's wang to get him to Vietnam'

Doesn't look like it.

Here's an NPR write up about it.

Pure speculation: It's shaping up like the donnie campaign wholly knew that if Trump knew about any of this, there'd be a ****storm. But because he's a control freak, he "needed" to know everything. A special few tried to shut some up about it, and those few are still trying to protect him.
 
So, Christopher Steele's dossier has been in the forefront of late. Trump defenders have been gleefully thinking it would somehow hurt Clinton and the Democrats. But a new examination of Steele and his dossier is about to command our attention, and Mueller, you can be certain, already has all this information. And that dossier is gonna make a comeback. Quite possibly enough to take down a President. Once one understands who Steele is, and why he cannot not be taken seriously, this information, which has been available for review by anyone for awhile now, after all, will assume the importance it has deserved from the start. More raw intelligence then a true dossier, Steele believes it will prove to be 70-90% accurate:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/nov/15/christopher-steele-trump-russia-dossier-accurate

"Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer who compiled an explosive dossier of allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, believes it to be 70% to 90% accurate, according to a new book on the covert Russian intervention in the 2016 US election.

The book, Collusion: How Russia Helped Donald Trump Win, by the Guardian journalist Luke Harding, quotes Steele as telling friends that he believes his reports – based on sources cultivated over three decades of intelligence work – will be vindicated as the US special counsel investigation digs deeper into contacts between Trump, his associates and Moscow.

“I’ve been dealing with this country for 30 years. Why would I invent this stuff?” Steele is quoted as saying.

One of the reasons his dossier was
taken seriously in Washington in 2016 was Steele’s reputation in the US for producing reliable reports on Russia, according to Harding’s book.

Between 2014 and 2016, he authored more than a hundred reports on Russia and Ukraine, which were commissioned by private clients but shared widely within the state department and passed across the desks of the secretary of state, John Kerry, and the assistant secretary Victoria Nuland, who led the US response to the annexation of Crimea and the covert invasion of eastern Ukraine.

The sources for those reports were the same as those quoted in the dossier on Trump, which included allegations that the Kremlin had personally compromising material on the US president, including sex tapes recorded during a trip to Moscow in 2013, and that Trump and his associates actively colluded with Russian intelligence to influence the election in his favour."

And here is an edited excerpt from "Collusion: Secret Meetings, Dirty Money, and how Russia Helped Donald Trump Win":

How Trump walked into Putin's Web:

The inside story of how a former British spy was hired to investigate Russia’s influence on Trump – and uncovered explosive evidence that Moscow had been cultivating Trump for years. By Luke Harding

Doesn't actually mean anything.

In December of last year, Steele informed Luke Harding, a journalist for the Guardian, that “the contracts for the hotel deals and land deals” between Trump and individuals with the Kremlin ties warrant investigation. “Check their values against the money Trump secured via loans,” the former spy said, according to a conversation detailed in Harding’s new book, Collusion: Secret Meetings, Dirty Money, and How Russia Helped Donald Trump Win. “The difference is what’s important.”

Mueller and the grand jury subpoena Trump election campaign for Russia documents.

Legal dogs; considering we have a grabs jury looking over this, doesn't that imply there is compelling evidence of the donnie administration is holding documents back?

"Special counsel Robert Mueller has asked the Justice Department to hand over thousands of documents related to the firing of FBI Director James Comey, including any communications between the White House and the DOJ around the time that Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the probe into Russia's election interference.

ABC News reported late Sunday that the document request came amid Mueller's continuing examination of whether Trump sought to obstruct justice when he fired Comey, who was leading the FBI investigation into potential collusion between Trump's campaign team and Russia.

The request for emails between the White House and the DOJ related to Sessions' recusal could help Mueller determine why Trump has projected anger that Sessions relinquished control over the campaign-related investigations to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in March. The recusal came after it was revealed that Sessions had at least two meetings with Russia's ambassador to the US during the campaign and failed to disclose them.

"Earlier reports indicated that Trump exploded when he found out about his recusal," said former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti. "That could be evidence of his state of mind because it is a highly unusual reaction to a recusal decision."
 
Good article on Times about the division of America and relevant topics to it like geography, social media and Trump.

Thought some people like @Red would appreciate it like I did.
this article is useless, the headline can be simply answered

OBAMA and his Socialist totalitarian policy of 1 size fits all! leads to division. if everyone was forced to wear free size 8 shoes. the people wearing size 8 would be happy the others not so much. so division BRO!
 
A shame that our president seriously needs to have his head examined. That ain't him on the Access Hollywood tape. And that dastardly black man that preceeded him was not born in the United States....

lol, obamas brother malik hints that obama is not born in usa. so questioning it migth be ok.

ooh wait, snopes the arbitrators of truth have spoken


here are our overlords, the masters of truth:
i-checked-snopes-my-research-is-complete-this-is-snopes-3575849.png



all hail them



in seriousness, if malik obama tells you something is wrong with obamas birth certificate, doenst matter what snopes say. it could be in question

not saying obummer is born outside us or not. i simply do not know. but their is reason to think both ways
 
What difference does it make? Regardless of WHERE he was born, he was still born a U.S. citizen and therefore almost certainly eligible for the office of President.* Stupidest controversy ever.



*yes, I realize it hasn't been tested by the Supreme Court. But that's almost certainly what the result would be.
 
Trump: "My Presidency is a complete disgrace, I have no composure, I can't get even the simplest of deals done, the international community thinks I'm a joke... But you know what? Obama actually wasn't born in the U.S. even though I said he was during the campaign. And you know what else? I didn't actually say that I could grab women by the ***** even though I apologized for saying that during the campaign. And you wanna know one more thing? I follow racist groups on twitter and retweet their fake BS. So, you know, like, my hands are huge right? You see how huge they are? I'm the President, yeah!"

I wanted to dislike this because it is so so so true and accurate. What a *********** we have going on right now. Worst I have seen in my 30 years of voting eligibility.
