Hmmm. Treason?

[Kingofalldems]

From the FBI report:



Didn't Trump have the GOP platform soften Republican support for Ukraine?

[LaydeeBug]

1. yep. TREASON.

[global1]

5. Will It Reach Trump?....

or will it just hit his team? Do you think any Repugs (I'm thinking McConnell & Ryan) will get drawn into this?

What about Ghouliani? He was running around like a cat that ate the canary saying that something big was coming down to hurt Clinton?

Comey?

It is going to be interesting to see how this all plays out. Congress can't be involved in investigating this - it needs to be an independent prosecutor.

6. The GOP Platform becamse the KGOP Platform, and the buck stops....where?

[2naSalit]

15. IKR?

2. Quick question: Did I see somewhere that this document originated via the British ?

cauterise vs. cauterize ?

Thanks.

[Kingofalldems]

4. I assume the British MI5 guy.

[herding cats]

10. Good catch, cauterise is the common British spelling. nt

11. See the Guardian article, also NY Times.

A former intelligence operative working as a private consultant preparing these memos for an opposition campaign.

[CincyDem]

13. Thanks all. n/t

3. High Treason!

[onenote]

7. What is the source for this?

Is this from the declassified FBI report released last week or something different?

[Kingofalldems]

8. Tim Dickinson of Rolling Stone tweeted it and it is supposedly from the FBI report.

[herding cats]

14. It's actually from the 35 page dossier McCain gave to Comey.

It was put together by an ex M16 agent who was working digging up dirt on Trump in Russia for the GOP, and then later for the Democratic Party I believe.

It's that dossier that was leaked to, and published by, Buzzfeed.

[Ilsa]

9. Yes. And Obama has moved our military into eastern Poland now,

Moving tanks in a build-up not seen since the cold war.

[doc03]

18. I just read a week or so ago that Sweden had put its

military on full alert for the first time since back in the 80s.

[Ilsa]

22. Yeah, I remember that making a few headlines and

Reading it on DU. Europe has to be nervous about trump and his arrangements with putin. I know I am.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. Obama is SO on top of this madman. But, he is so cool and so responsible

he knows to never cause a massive freak out

[spanone]

12. Jesus, how much does the gun have to smoke??????

[2naSalit]

16. ...a mushroom cloud?

[doc03]

17. As I recall that is the one and only change

Trump made in the Republican platform.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. what change?

[doc03]

21. They made a change in the platform on the policy on the Ukraine I beleive favorable

to Putin. I believe Manafort was responsible for that. Its in the op highlighted in yellow.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. That fits so neatly into the whole Russia blackmailing Trump theory doesn't it. I firmly believe

in the "where there's smoke, there's fire" saying. this whole thing stinks to high heaven
