Just to make sure I have the alternative facts straight...  Our government -- but I'm guessing only the deep state part of it --- is now guilty of torturing a poor, naive Russian exchange student who

So Falwell Jr. is gay and they paid off one of his flings with a hostel?  Can't wait until he has to explain that to his flock of assholes.

no different than an abortion.  this stuff matters to them unless it involves someone they need it not to matter.  truth is what you need it to be when you have faith.

About this source:  I’ve been following this account for over a year and she has proven over time to be one of the most credible for getting information (Seth Abramson level).

Still, take this FWIW.

 

I think to those of us with above-average intelligence can tell this is genuine information. It doesn't seem steered or targeting, but fact-based. It doesn't contain any poo flinging, other than the extremely benign comment about Trump's tweet storm, and even explains how the process works. And again for many of us, we read information like that, file it for later, and see if comes true. If so, source confirmed. If not, then we probably forgot about it anyway.

God damn the cult is so strong. Jeff Sessions was the first major elected official to go out on a fucking limb, endorsing and campaigning with Donald Trump from the very beginning.

Jeff Sessions is a piece of shit, but he was loyal and stuck his neck out for Trump at the beginning.  He's being done wrong.

Or, he's getting his just deserts.  You make a deal with the devil, etc.

Now that's a Russian who could be seriously impacted by an indictment. 

Avoiding any future charges certainly could put a little cramp in his concert tour schedule.

 

Re Cohen likely making a proffer with the Feds at this time, keep in mind Cohen was an acting deputy national finance chair for the  RNC continuing through his FBI raid.

...and well after. He didn't quit being deputy finance chair until some of the shit about family separations started to surface.  It's one of the more WTF questions dealing with this investigations.  Well after Cohen getting raided by the FBI, and revelations about him taking high paying "consulting" gigs, the RNC didn't fire him.  I assume he didn't come into the office much at that point, but I suspect there was some strategic reason for not firing him.  I just can't guess what it is. I wouldn't think it would give them some coverage under client-privilege.

His activities in Prague will also be of interest because if the Dossier proves true there, that is ball fucking game.

Don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family.

World's smallest violin for Sessions.  

If Sessions wants revenge, all he has to do is run interference for Mueller and talk to his buddies in Congress.

Which is why Trump is being a fucking idiot.  Sessions should be one of the last people a liberal yankee from New York City is publicly taking a shit on.

A major donor to President Trump agreed to pay $10 million to the president’s then-personal attorney if he successfully helped obtain funding for a nuclear-power project, including a $5 billion loan from the U.S. government, according to people familiar with the matter.

The donor, Franklin L. Haney, gave the contract to Trump attorney Michael Cohen in early April to assist his efforts to complete a pair of unfinished nuclear reactors in Alabama, known as the Bellefonte Nuclear Power Plant, these people said. 

Had he been paid the success fee, Mr. Cohen’s deal with Mr. Haney could have been among the most lucrative of the known consulting agreements he secured after Mr. Trump’s election by emphasizing his personal relationship with the president, according to people familiar with his pitches.

The president has since severed ties with Mr. Cohen, who is under federal investigation in New York in connection with his work for Mr. Trumpand private business dealings. 

Authorities are investigating whether Mr. Cohen engaged in unregistered lobbying in connection with his consulting work for corporate clients after Mr. Trump went to the White House, according to people familiar with the probe.

Investigators are also examining potential campaign-finance violations and bank fraud surrounding, among other deals, Mr. Cohen’s October 2016 payment to Stephanie Clifford, the former adult-film star called Stormy Daniels, to keep her from discussing an alleged sexual encounter with Mr. Trump, according to people familiar with the probe. Mr. Trump denies any encounter took place.

“Neither Mr. Haney nor Nuclear Development LLC ever entered into a contract with Michael Cohen or his affiliate for lobbying services related to the Bellefonte project,” said Larry Blust, a lawyer for Mr. Haney, referring to the name of the company Mr. Haney is using for the project. He declined further comment about the project or Mr. Cohen. 

A representative for Mr. Cohen declined to comment. The White House didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Shitgoblin is the genus, hobgoblin is the species.  Both are correct.

(All hobgoblins are shitgoblins, but not all shitgoblins are hobgoblins.)

I would think that goblin is the genus, and hob- and shit-goblins are species.  Perhaps goblin is the family.

So it’s pretty obvious trump, hannity, the NRA, Lou dobbs, Alex jones, Benedict Mitch, a lot of the trump campaign, the rorbacher guy, Nunes the karate kid and prison suit Paul are traitors. Who else is definitive on your list? 

Maybe not full-on traitor status, but I'd add Paul Ryan, Jim Jordan and Tucker Carlson as being full-on enablers.

Agree with this assessment. Not proven full on traitors yet, and may actually not be. Just a gut feeling on that. Enablers? Yes.
