(45,020 posts)I wish Republicans would take note as well.
They don't seem to realize how wrong they are.

(112,417 posts)It will be the Friday news dump prior to a holiday weekend. Donald might consider bombing a country as equivalent to a fireworks show.

Grassley's letter/request, Graham's letter/request and the far right machine going into "collusion isn't illegal" mode.

(3,335 posts)WaPo having a bombshell story that they are sitting on, the US Government asked them to hold off on. It may (or may not) show direct evidence of Trump (himself) colluding with Putin. It may come out today, that may be what Rachel was hinting at.

(4,268 posts)If said story shows direct evidence it will be a bombshell for sure. Still think it has to do with a discredit campaign against FBI or something more serious.

beginning of a RW campaign (headed by Grassley and Graham) to denigrate and injure the FBI in general and its investigation of Rump in particular. It seems to me that this may be what he's referring to. https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017446328

...of lies & spin their way to try and obfuscate the rank corruption and treason of the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief, Comrade Casino, and his Cabal of Colluding Republican Cronies.
That's how I read it.

(9,897 posts)That would also explain why Trump is tweeting about Mika and Joe and trying to create a big enough distraction to provide cover for it...it is classic Trump to think that he will get away with it if the country is obsessing about his Twitter nonsense.
There will be blood before it is all over, sadly.

(31,121 posts)America is in a war, no shooting yet, but an ACTUAL war with Russia and the GOP is assisting them.
When the FBI and areas of the DOJ are attacked by the GOP, we are at an impasse, could be no other way to resolve this than everybody hunkers down and protects their loved ones.

(12,448 posts)and the White House knows it. They're trying damage control:
"A Trump campaign official said that Mr. Smith didnt work for the campaign, the Journal reported, and that if Mr. Flynn coordinated with him in any way, it would have been in his capacity as a private individual.
Right. "Mr. Flynn" acted as a private individual while working as a Trump campaign official to benefit the campaign by dirty tricks, aka collusion. Flynn KNOWS he's in deep doo-doo and his best hope is to practice his vocals and try to get the best possible deal.
That MAY be what's coming out soon, possibly tonight. Tick tick tick tick tick...we'll see what the BOOM is.

(7,768 posts)If Eric Holder can't sleep and he's up in the middle of the night tweeting warnings, well...
I've never felt more apprehensive or uneasy about the State of Affairs. (and I'm a retired Boomer who grew up in the 60's)
fuck..

Eric Holder @EricHolder
To the career men and women at DOJ/FBI: you know what the job entails and how to do it. Be strong and unafraid. Duty. Honor. Country.

(37,648 posts)Maybe Holder has heard that the staffers' morale is low, after the firing of Comey and the persistent criticisms and claims by the President himself that the investigation is a "hoax" and "fake" and "partisan."
I think the Congress people are behind the intel people.

(12,792 posts)It seems like the third branch of government, being the Judicial Branch, may need to come to the rescue if the Republican leadership of the Congress is colluding with Trump!

All these actions are illegitimate
