2. Well, it defines the character of the trip, doesn't it?

I wonder if he's going to correct his fec filings along with his senate confirmation testimony?

[Kingofalldems]

3. He is in a huge trap now.

9. It was the RNC. Would it be unusual to use campaign funds?

[spanone]

16. he claimed that when he met with the ambassador, he was acting as a senator....

therefore......

[Barack_America]

18. I've also seen that it wasn't a planned interaction...

...that he was essentially "cornered".

I'm sure that will be the excuse for this.

12. His own or Trump's?

Earlier post said his own....iow Sessions may be toast but Trump may skate on this one.

[herding cats]

17. His own per the article.

There's an image there of a snip of the article that explains it for those w/o access to the WSJ article.

15. that's what you meant to say, right jeff? you were acting as a senator, right jeff?

19. been switching back and forth between cnn/msnbc since about 5pm today.

have not heard word one about this.

might've missed it, but it's interesting that it's getting lots of attention here....several threads

when's it going to break wide.

[Cha]

21. Big NONO?

[mopinko]

25. means he cant pretend he was acting as a senator.

[Cha]

26. Hehe.. Mahalo, MO!

[herding cats]

27. Not a no-no, really.

It just shows he didn't use his legislative account, which proves he wasn't acting officially as a senator, but rather as a Trump surrogate.

In other words, he lied again.

Drip-drip.

[Cha]

34. Thank you for that, too!

[Catherine Vincent]

22. From the WSJ no less...

[littlemissmartypants]

23. This is getting better and better. Really, really good.

NO SARCASM SMILEY here!!!

Delicious deplorable tea. Like "libril tears" , but way better. Way, way better. *

Can't wait to have the whole crew for breakfast.
Sneer smiley here.


*May even have to say, it's Ai Weiwei better. That's how good it is.

[joet67]

24. Wow. Hey, that last quote- where did it come from?

Just curious. I'd like to send the link to someone.

[herding cats]

29. It's from John Schindler's twitter feed.

He said he'd gotten an email from a friend of his, a senior intelligence person, who began the email with that sentence.

You can probably go through his feed and find it there. It was a week or so ago.

His Twitter feed: https://mobile.twitter.com/20committee

[joet67]

30. Thank you so much! I'm off to locate it...

Makes me happy to hear

[herding cats]

32. I added a link.

Here ya go: https://mobile.twitter.com/20committee

[joet67]

38. Ok thank you! nt

[Cha]

33. Mahalo, herding!

[herding cats]

36. My pleasure, Cha!

These are strange times when I know something like that off the top of my head.

[BainsBane]

39. Who is going to prosecute him?

That's the problem. Even with Sessions recused, the rest of DOJ is still accountable to both Sessions and Trump. Nothing will happen without an independent prosecutor.

I remain convinced that Comey is in the tank for Trump.

[herding cats]

40. I don't see him being prosecuted in the near future either.

Even if the intelligence community is investigating him, which I think is true at this point, the Republicans are fighting an independent prosecutor tooth and nail. Without that nothing will happen. Which is why we have all these leaks. They're trying to push the Republicans to a point of being forced to actually appointing one. Which isn't working so far.

Oh, and I also do not trust Comey. I'm convinced there are warring fractions in our IC, and Comey isn't on the side of US democracy. He's already proved that by his actions 11 days before the election.

[Cha]

31. Yeah, really.. who said that? Probably "anonymous"..

[Kingofalldems]

35. Anonymous intelligent source--often repeated by Olbermann.

[smirkymonkey]

28. Burn in hell, you evil bastard!

Bwahahaahah!

[BainsBane]

37. Which intelligence official?

[Kingofalldems]

43. Don't know. It was a quote from an article retweeted by Olbermann.

It is now a sig line in all of Keith's tweets.

[OnDoutside]

41. So, he either lied about speaking to the Russian in his

Capacity as Senator, or he illegally used Trump campaign funds to do his work as a Senator. Which is it ?

I hope msm uses this info today.

50. For some mysterious reason, the WSJ excerpt, that appears on the DU homepage

as a description of your o.p, doesn't appear to me when I click on the homepage o.p. link that the excerpt describes.

I read the article in the second tweet link, I just don't understand the mechanism behind why the text appears on the homepage but not in the o.p., when the o.p. link is clicked on.

Basically, Jefferson Beauregard wears two hats, privileged Senator and ardent flunky crooked campaign operative, and he switches with lightning speed between which hat he's wearing, depending on what the occasion requires. Need to commit a felonious flunky campaign operative act? Quick, put on that hat. Need to dodge felony indictment for that act? Quick, put on the Senator hat.

He changes hats so fast, he looks like the thing with two heads. Now, his 3rd head, US A.G., is sprouting up next to the other two heads, like that sleazy criminal alien character played by Tony Shalhoub in the Men In Black movies.

It's the ugliest one of them all.
