  1. I don't think the overall goal is to suppress the report and evidence. I think it's more likely that they know a subpoena from the House would get anything they want. So they plan to force the House's hand in issuing the subpoena and fight it. This gives the White House a great deal of time to throw water on the fire. In the meantime, they will have all the findings, grand jury testimony, etc to themselves and they can dribble out the most damning ones to Maggie Haberman at the NYT.
  2. Not to mention their orange ethnonationalist leader is named in federal court for overtly directing violations of campaign finance laws.
  3. That is good stuff. Tucker calls him "moron" while just being eviscerated.
  4. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/19/us/politics/trump-investigations.html Um... talk about burying the lede.
  5. Russia is actually very sensitive to being held accountable. They're bad actors, but the bad actors keep all their wealth offshore. Sanctions (especially internationally unanimous ones) really threaten their whole system. And their economy is dogshit. Just attacking them in terms of the price of their oil exports can fuck with them really badly.
  6. Paying for opposition research =/= conspiracy to disseminate hacked info. It's a specious argument.
  7. Steele had been an FBI informant for about 20 years and reached out to them (Justice and FBI) directly. He was head of our closest ally's MI6 Russian desk. Not exactly a light-weight that can't be trusted.
  8. The now-indicted Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya was the Kremlin's lead in Magnitsky advocacy and defense. The meeting was set up under the pretense of offering "dirt". If there's a quid pro quo, not hard to read between the lines. Unless you're intellectually dishonest, that is.
  9. If only we had modern day nazis to determine if they were left or right wing. I wonder if they'd name their rally "Unite the Left" or "Unite the Right".
  10. BREAKING: @DanPatrick says he's "all in" on Trump suspending habeas corpus.
  11. Most morons desperately want to be taken seriously as intellectuals.
  12. Even if you suppose that to be correct, that refers to "direct evidence". There is a mountain of circumstantial evidence which our system of justice gives equal weight.
  13. He is such a disrespectful cunt.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back to Austin as a staff member. He's one of Herman's guys.
  15. Dude's voice sounds like will ferrell's harry caray impression.
  16. It will be hilarious if FATCA brings down Deutsche Bank and DOTUS. The R's have been wanting to repeal it for 8 years.
  17. Haven't you heard?--80 is the new 70!!
  18. My guess is Hope Hicks. Other than Cohen, she's the only one who can dispute it. Unfortunately for POTUS, suborning perjury doesn't require direct orders.
  19. Meh, it's a lawyerly response and doesn't contradict it. It says that their description is "not accurate." Cormier claims to have FBI 302's and other documents backing up the statements from someone "read in" on the investigation. I expect they'll issue a statement that they stand by the story.
