1. Wow!

It kind of jumps to conclusions, but it sure looks promising!!!

[C_U_L8R]

2. I'd say that's historic

And Trump may soon be history.

[skylucy]

3. Goody.

[jmg257]

4. Wow - that is quite the title! "Potential Charges"?? Holy shit!

[Fantastic Anarchist]

55. "Potential CRIMINAL charges"

[kentuck]

5. Wow!

Doo-doo hit the propeller.

[maxsolomon]

6. Replace "meddling" with "cyber crimes" and you've got an ACCURATE headline

And a headline his Deplorables will never see in their bubbles.

[JudyM]

7. Let's hope it's one of the top 2 and not some underlings.

If they can't pin anything on him or Bannon, what a letdown...

[gopiscrap]

8. Excellent

[Xolodno]

9. Trump's Borscht...

...is scorched.

[gratuitous]

10. "Potential criminal charges at the door of the White House"

That's gonna leave a mark. And, since it's in the headline, that's the takeaway that a lot of people will get. Let the White House and its stooges explain why they think the headline goes too far.

Criminal charges.
Criminal charges.
Criminal charges.
Criminal charges.
Criminal charges.
Criminal charges.
Criminal charges.
Criminal charges.
Criminal charges.
Criminal charges.
Criminal charges.
Criminal charges.

14. Wimps!

Why did they pull this beautiful headline? Guess their lawyers got scared since Comey never directly confirmed that 45 himself is a target of the investigation. BOO!!!

[DK504]

27. Is that the number of charges that will be levied at his

evil minions?

Bannon : Criminal charges
Manafort : Criminal charges
Conway : Criminal charges
Cater Page:Criminal charges ....

Ya' mean like that?

[murielm99]

28. Pence knows.

Get Pence, too.

[gratuitous]

37. Thinking of the Watergate-era Doonesbury strip

That's Guilty! Guilty, guilty, guilty!

[lindysalsagal]

11. You could feel all of this coming last week. What a relief. He's not in handcuffs or out on the stre

street, yet. But this is a relief after 2 years of pretending he's a viable candidate.

That pretense is over.

[wordpix]

57. when FBI/police show up to WH door, I suggest

we get together a ring around the WH to applaud and wave goodbye

[diva77]

12. glad you posted the tweet cuz NYT changed headline to exclude what you referred to

the smaller print headline has been replaced with: Director sees no evidence to back wiretap claim

[kpete]

41. I know

but we have it here for keeps

peace.

[Orrex]

49. For the many of us who can't view the tweet, can you post the actual headline?

[diva77]

60. "Potential Criminal Charges, at the Door of the White House"

this was the sub-headline...the large headline above it was "FBI Confirms Inquiry on Trump Team's Possible Ties to Russian Election Meddling"

it was the sub-headline referring to the criminal charges that was yanked...hope that helps!

62. More than helpful--you made my day!

[wordpix]

58. oh no, they backed down? I loved the original

[lark]

13. Whoohoo!

Repugs on committee doing best they can to distract and obfuscate the real criminality of Hair Furor, but no cigar.

[Bob Loblaw]

15. I anticipate

additional ramping up re: North Korea very soon. Expect Sir Golfsalot, to tweet about a U.S. first strike as this thing is about to come knocking at his front door.

[Orrex]

50. I'm sure that such an action would result in serious accountability

Wait. I mean that they'll jail the leakers and spend millions investigating the unholy alliance between Clinton and Mother Russia.

[frogmarch]

16. Will the republicans now double-down in their insistence

they've done nothing wrong (On Twitter trump already is, of course), or will they give the Orange One the boot in hopes it will deflect attention away from the rest of them?

[Hekate]

17. Now that makes me smile

[calimary]

18. Dayum.

In the previous hour of CNN'S "Situation Room," it was in the very last segment, after a commercial break, at about 3:55, that they even departed from that topic, and ran a piece on North Korea.

Now on "Hardball," this noteworthy quote:

"Not since Watergate have we had allegations that are this serious."

- Susan Page, USAToday

[KingCharlemagne]

22. Iran-Contra was pretty fucking serious too. - nt

[calimary]

25. Which reminds me of the Absolutely, Positively, Hands-Down F**king Most Spectacularly PATHETIC

excuse EVER - for a public admission that one has messed up. Take it away, Ronnie!

"...my heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true. But..."

Ronald Wilson Reagan. Yep, there's an L-I-A-R in there somewhere. And an amazingly creative liar he was. Yes, Ronnie. See, there's this thing called evidence...

[rivegauche]

19. Good. More. PLEASE LET THERE BE CRIMINAL CHARGES. nt

[tazkcmo]

20. Oh be still

My beating heart!!!

[red dog 1]

21. K&R...Thanks for posting

The headline was removed, but the story remains.

[zentrum]

23. OMFG.

[L. Coyote]

24. His tweets stink today too. #NoRespect

31. Gross but freaking appropriate..

Mahalo, Coyote

[SunSeeker]

34. Hands are too big, otherwise, perfect.

[dalton99a]

26. It's 4 months late.

[NastyRiffraff]

29. Potential Criminal Charges!

Yessssss! Bring 'em on!

[Cha]

30. I think Finally is appropriate here!

Mahlao, kpete

[Doreen]

32. Yipee!!

[SunSeeker]

33. Rachel should be good tonight! nt

[Kablooie]

35. I hope Trump has access to his phone tonight. I want to see what he tweets.

Fake news.
Nothing but Fake news.

[Cha]

36. You think the potus might not

have access to his phone? lol As in confiscated?

[Kablooie]

40. It was once. His aides took it away and hid it from him.

[KewlKat]

38. It's beginning to feel alot like Fitzmas!

Not going to get my hopes up but will enjoy the headline and his exposure. Now to keep the drums beating.............

[Hoyt]

43. Me too. They still need to show Trump and/or aides conspired with Ruskies.

At one time, there were similar headlines about FBI investigating Clinton. Didn't go anywhere, although did help beat her. I hope they nail them, but I can see Comey coming out in a few weeks saying no evidence of wrong doing has been found. Russia hacking DNC means little unless Trump or Admin implicated. Hope it's not the Fitzmas, but not getting my hopes up.

[UTUSN]

51. Uh, Fitzmas was a bust for us. & yesterday I looked at COMEY's Wiki & he & Fitz are best buds, with

COMEY having gotten Fitz hired into some job to begin with. So, while I fully "get" your sentiments, Kewl, and share the intention, COMEY and Fitzmas don't bode well.

[KewlKat]

52. Holy Crap! There're buds?

deflated now.............................

[Initech]

39. Fake news, OK? Sad!

[Justice]

42. I want NYT to account for lying Halloween article

[Chevy]

44. Still no explanation for that n/t

[workinclasszero]

45. I want to see the American Hitler frog marched

out of our white house and put behind bars for the rest of his traitorous life!

[orleans]

46. your photos show it was 1:24 pm ET

by 8:33 pm the secondary headline was changed to

"Director Sees No Evidence to Back Wiretap Claim"

[Grizzled Ol Granddad]

47. Let's just Get This Over With

Trump will not be POTUS come 2020. Even the Republicans would benefit from getting rid of him WAY before November of nest year! (oh yeah, and the country, too. ssh.)

[TexasTowelie]

53. That would be a nice outcome

except Pence would then be president.

Welcome to DU!

[Grizzled Ol Granddad]

54. Thanks for Welcoming Me

But my #1 priority is getting Daffy Duck away from the nukes. Mikey is a troglodyte, but he's a sane one.

[gopiscrap]

59. welcome to DU

[Grizzled Ol Granddad]

61. Thanks

And I love your moniker!

[bucolic_frolic]

48. Yeah, and who has the largest and longest standing financial ties to Russia?

[wordpix]

56. good, NYT got word "criminal" in there
