By the likes of Flynn, Manafort, Page, etc ... THEY were working for the Russians, but good ol' Mr. Innocent President Donald just had NO IDEA ... him being a political greenhorn and all ... this thing was totally not his fault ... cause he was hoodwinked ...

That's what's coming down the pike people ... I can feel it in my bones ... it's his only way out ... and he'll take it rather than lose the office and potentially face charges. Selling people down the river is his M.O., and none of those guys mean squat to Putin ... and then when THEY turn states and claim DT knew all about it, it'll just be 'sour grapes' from UnAmerican 'former employees' ...

What a friggin' joke ...

Jr admitted that most of the company's money is from those great Russians and USA Today also just reported a few days ago that 45 has been propped up by Russians for some time.

He can't hide his history, and they likely have him on tape already.

what was going on, and the dementia has only gotten worse.

Paul Ryan and Pence were in on it, too.

We need to take the House to be able to bring impeachment charges.

That I reckon most missed.

Think back to the Senate Intelligence Committee hearing, the one at which Clinton Watts testified. At one stage one of the other guys testifiying, not Watts, speaking about hackers, said that they could not only steal files from your computer, they could also PLACE files on your machine.

Burr was visibly disturbed by this, so were a couple of others on the committee. *Maine comes to mind, maybe an independent.

At the time I thought, these guys have stuff on their computers that they don't want found. Can't say why I thought that precisely, just the way a couple of them repeated that material could be 'placed'. Meh, maybe I'm being silly. Maybe not.

Did the Senate really file an ethics complaint
against Burr?

I can't find anything beyond a tweet.
