So Rachel has been receiving threatening letters from lawyers

[malaise]

These fugging ReTHUG scumbags are fascists.

She will continue investigating - go Rachel!

Yep Grassley tried to diss the dossier

ADD

[still_one]

1. Did she say that on her show?

[malaise]

3. Yep

Turn on - great program tonight

[still_one]

5. wow

[C_U_L8R]

2. Threatening letters from lawyers are a wonderful revealing thing

You keep digging, Rachel!! You've got them scared.

[Raster]

8. Aren't they though? That means you have someone's attention...

...and they are NOT happy about it. SERIOUSLY, if there was nothing there, and the rethuglicans* believed there was nothing there, they would be chomping at the bit to get as much information as possible in public view and vindicate themselves. BUT THEY ARE NOT. No, now they are using every tool in the rethuglican* tool chest to obfuscate, obscure, diminish, demean and distract.

The rethuglican* high command is not stupid. If it is conclusively shown that members of the tRump* campaign and members of the tRump* inner circle colluded with Russia to throw the Presidential election to tRump*, it could negatively affect the rethuglican* party for generations to come.

20. Not just Trump's people,

but Republican congressmen and senators have ties to Russia. It isn't just partisanship that congress is having only a skeleton crew investigating Russian influence, it's fear of what will come out about the leadership of the Republicans in congress if there was a full-on investigation.

[Raster]

23. Oh yes! There far more foxes in the hen house than probably any of us suspect.

[chillfactor]

4. Lawyer's letters are not going to scare Rachel..

she will keep marching forward.....another great program for Rachel tonight!

[rurallib]

6. call me a nervous nelly, but I wonder how her bosses at Comcast feel?

It is a very right wing company anyway. Don't know if they will want to deal with threats from the Trumpies.

I have a gut feeling that Comcast would love to have an excuse to dump Rachel.

[Lucinda]

10. Her ratings will keep her safe from them - $$$ always win n/t

[rurallib]

12. wasn't donohue the ratings stud at MSNBC when they let him go?

I wouldn't count on ratings.

[oasis]

15. I believe Donahue was cut loose because he was against the Iraq invasion.

Can't be having anyone who could be perceived as unpatriotic. No, no

[bucolic_frolic]

13. It would be equivalent

to the Saturday Night Massacre

or firing Woodward and Bernstein in 1974

There are still some things they can't get away with due to public outcry

Which is why 45 is headed to eviscerate the 1st Amendment

[Dawson Leery]

7. The American right is fascist.

[BBG]

17. Actually, the fascist American right has been overtaken...

And overwhelmed by this weird anarchist leaning pop-libertarianism. Solchak despised nihilists, I despise anarcho-fascists. Fucking Anarchofascists.

[SchrodingersCatbox]

19. Walter on nihilists

"Nihilists! Fuck me. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos!"

[fleabiscuit]

22. The Dude abides. nt

[meadowlark5]

9. Rachel is one of the highest rated shows right now

The dollar signs will soften any uncomfortable feelings the Comcast conservatives are might be feeling.

[democratisphere]

11. Grassley is aiding the cover-up.

Many redumbliCONs are caught up in Russiagate and many will ultimately be taken down.

[dchill]

14. So is Lindsey Graham, among others...

I'd like to see an accounting of their campaign funds.
(Cough)Russians(Cough.)

[Plucketeer]

32. Hell, the whole of the GOP

is either trying to MASK the situation OR trying to pretend it isn't there. They'll do anything - sell their asses to ANYONE to keep that executive pen in their favor - even IF the signatures are those of a demented and treasonous phony!

[LonePirate]

16. Did she show copies of the letters on the air or did she just mention them without graphics?

Hopefully she displayed them on air so the entire world could see who is behind this crap.

[malaise]

25. No she did't show themn/t

[orangecrush]

18. Re Grassley...

Link to tweet

[tiptonic]

37. Snake

Snake in the grassley. Sorry couldn't resist..

[orangecrush]

38. ...

[Amaryllis]

40. That was brilliant.

[malaise]

42. I like that

[spanone]

21. intimidation of the media. they're trying to shut her down.

[CanonRay]

24. Watch Rachel, keep the ratings high

And that will keep her safe

[nocalflea]

26. I take it that this is the _nth dimensional chess that Trumpsters are always crowing about.

A thugs gotta thug.

[Guilded Lilly]

27. Rachel represents EVERYTHING they hate and fear the most....

Smart, female, gay, courageous and vocal.

[Gothmog]

28. Nasty letters from lawyers do not scare Rachel

[ATL Ebony]

29. I wish she would show the letter(s) so everyone can see how they're operating.

Not sure she's safe from them otherwise. Be careful Rachel, we all know how treacherous these thugs are, so protect yourself.

[kimbutgar]

30. Let them sue her in court and there will be more discovery than they want to be disclosed

More eyeballs will be exposed to the Russian influence over chump. Yes, I'd like to see that.

The Kochs tried to threaten her and it didn't work then.

[ehrnst]

31. I hope MSNBC is providing 24/7 protection for her. (nt)

[Plucketeer]

33. That's my first thought! nt

[whathehell]

34. Yes, they had better..

She must really watch her back.

[Mr.Bill]

35. In Rachel's line of work

threats from lawyers are a sign of success.

[tiptonic]

36. Surprise?

The best thing to do is, read each letter on the air and then give the name, of each author.

[lpbk2713]

41. They can write all the letters their time allows.

It still doesn't mean she has to comply with what they are pissing and moaning about.

43. Rachel Maddow Stands Tall And Refuses To Back Down When Threatened By Donald Trump

http://www.politicususa.com/2017/03/14/trump-white-house-threatened-rachel-maddow.html

Mar 14th, 2017
Rachel Maddow refused to bow to Donald Trump's baseless threats. After the Trump White House had threatened her, the MSNBC host reported on a leak of Trump's 2005 tax return.

[malaise]

44. I remember that
