2. The "spy group" on Twitter were predicting this yesterday

That TODAY, heads would start to roll.

I think their stock just went up a notch ....

[MelissaB]

12. I've been waiting to see what would happen.

We need video and audio of arrests. Humiliate these fuckers. (Should I be embarrassed?)

[yodermon]

17. what "spy group" is that? @louisemensch, @truefactsstated, @20committee ? n/t

[PsychoBabble]

19. exactly

[tableturner]

20. Yes......please provide a link to the Twitter "spy group"......thanks.

[Nevernose]

23. Twitter suspended my account yesterday!

And won't tell me why.

SO. FRUSTRATED.

At least DU is here to keep me updated on much of what I would be reading anyway!

[More_Cowbell]

48. Maybe they thought you were hacked?

According to this external page, sometimes Twitter suspends accounts they suspect of being hacked

Here's the official Twitter page about it; they should have given you a reason, anyway

Everything was the same as I left it, except when I got back in I was following a bunch of porn stars.

51. Check your email

They did that to me once but it was because they said it was "compromised" and they wanted me to change my password. They sent me an email about it.

and raise it with our Thursday Night Massacre !!!

Beautiful. Hope it's all true.

Might want to look at their website before it goes down...

that I could find, anyway. Anybody find anything interesting?

45. For all the $$$ floating around them, it's a very amateur website. Looks like a

front to me. Peel back the layers!

[Nevernose]

32. And the 3 employees all have ties to the NFIB

A very large, very conservative small business group. They were the lead plaintiff against AHCA and have taken at least 3.7 million from Rove's super PAC. So these guys might be in the illegal donation - political money laundering end of things.

And one of the three employees helps put on CPAC every year

15. I fucking love that description.

[cilla4progress]

7. Is this what Mensch mentioned

about many at the top of the GOP going down - Pence, Ryan, et al.?

[Qutzupalotl]

14. It looks like the start of that process.

Search warrants only at this time, apparently. But this will be a treasure trove of info, possibly leading to arrests later.

[pnwmom]

16. Eventually she thinks that will happen. But the first arrests will probably be at a low level.

That's how it's usually done.

9. Search warrants? Any arrest warrants?

One can hope for arrest warrants. Imagine 45 in an orange jumpsuit. It would match his unnatural skin hue.

11. I'll be happy when I see someone in handcuffs

[unc70]

22. Indictments allegedly under seal

Reports are that there are grand jury indictments under seal in SDNY and EDVA. No telling when they will be unsealed. Apparently a bunch of search warrants issued in each district. Rumors that probable cause was established allowing a lot of US and foreign SIGINT to be accessed by investigators.

Who knows how this will play out.

[L. Coyote]

85. And with the evidence gained from the warrants, more indictments may follow.

They are certainly far along in the process when they are willing to reveal who they are after.

28. Reputable links to confirm any of this??

29. You mean other than Claud, right? :) Baltimore Sun

[VigilantG]

33. Linked to Cambridge Analytica maybe, too?

Oh this is great news!

[MelissaB]

41. I'm wondering that as well. If they are connected,

it would make a lot of sense.

[BigBearJohn]

34. Careful..this might be a good time for 45 to start a war? N.Korea?

[workinclasszero]

72. Yes a lovely little nuclear war with NK

Would be just the thing to get the press off Dolt 45's back and say in time of war all Americans must support Duh Fuhrer.

[George II]

36. This may have something to do with the unstated reason that Comey was fired.

This isn't a sole proprietor real estate business, this is the United States Government. You don't solve your problems simply by firing someone around you.

Like it or not, 99% of FBI investigators and employees are good, honest, loyal to the country. He can fire the guy at the top, but the one right behind him will be just like the one he got rid of.

43. LOL! Not at all.

As a matter of fact, I'm joining you.

[world wide wally]

42. I hope they are seizing all the top GOPricks' computers.

I heard they like to browse emails

[elmac]

44. I bet the king of RICO, Rudy Giuliani

has his hands dirty also. He was in on the Commie election fraud up to his rat eyeballs.

[orangecrush]

47. Trump sent one of Rudy's thugs

To deliver Comey's termination letter.

The irony is delicious.

[cab67]

49. Are there any standard media reports on this?

It's not even coming up when I do a search in news.google. According to the Baltimore Sun article, the warrants are related to the 2013 VA gubernatorial race.

[leftynyc]

53. Here's a TV station in Baltimore

that is reporting it:

http://www.wbaltv.com/article/fbi-searching-annapolis-fundraiserconsulting-firm/9639787

[sharedvalues]

54. The Hill. Wa Po.

But all reporting is very very sparse.

[Stinky The Clown]

55. And the BIG FBI RAID IN ANNAPOLIS today was about the VA gov's race two years ago.

All this breathless TwitterTwaddle is unhelpful. Any moron with a Twit to Twat can Twiddle Up a Shitstorm to get people all up about this or that.

[renegade000]

58. Says the guy who was raided...

Come on... Of course he would try to minimize, you're taking his word for it?

[Stinky The Clown]

59. No but I am also not taking some Twat's word for it either.

[Stinky The Clown]

82. Even in these crazy times I'll stick with bedrock news sources like WaPo and the (failing) Times

[Demsrule86]

68. I don't buy that ...Mannaford is associated with that firm

[50 Shades Of Blue]

83. I don't buy it either. Cuccinelli settled his case against them.

Why would the FBI revisit that case?

[CousinIT]

73. Could be why MSM hasn't picked it up much. n/t

[Justice]

56. Washington Post picked up Annapolis raid story

60. Something is confusing here

How come I see nothing about this on CNN or NYT or MSN? Are any mainstream media reporting about this?

[bathroommonkey76]

62. Because it might not be tied to Russia after all.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=9049402

[MelissaB]

67. It also has ties to Roger Stone and Manafort,

so it could be...

[bathroommonkey76]

71. Yes, but it also could be unrelated.

65. Yes, they are.

[HopeAgain]

61. Any, ahem, "mainstream" reports supporting all this anywhere?

Beyond that a Lobbying firm is being raided -- which could be anything. I mean something as big as described by our friend Claude usually gets picked up pretty fast...

[MelissaB]

69. I takes time for the MSM to form the connectsions if they exist.

I don't think they will use a single source.

[Justice]

76. Any, ahem, read the whole thread. Washington Post for one.

[HopeAgain]

79. Just that a lobbying firm has been raided

NOTHING connecting it to Trump, to multiple raids and all other sorts of things that Mr. Claude is saying...

74. Is this why Dump just lawyered up?

Not sure if this raid is related to the Russia investigation, but it's GOP-related and that's good enough for me!

[PEJ27]

78. The firm has ties to Manafort, Paul Ryan, and McConnell

[LenaBaby61]

81. The firm has ties to Manafort, Paul Ryan, and McConnell.

Also to Ken Cuccinelli as well.

That crook's been all over CNN the last few days I think.

[airmid]

84. Cuccinelli has been absent on CNN today though. At least I haven't seen him and I tend to cuss out

the tv whenever he is on it.

[Nevernose]

87. He told the AP today

That he's never been contacted by law enforcement about the company that was raided.

[MelissaB]

86. And it's linked to Cambridge Analyticia

77. It SCG tied to Dump ?

My apologies if I missed that in the thread. Waiting for my kiddo at his piano lesson and I'm having a small come apart!!! Listening to MSNBC on xm and am not hearing anything about this.

.... that was linked to a bank in the Ukraine/Putin.
