Nice bit of interesting investigative journalism here with Rachel Maddow looking at Donald Trumps links to Russia. Just when he was getting himself up financial shit creek for not being able to pay off his business debt to Deutsche Bank, Trump received a timely windfall from several record-breaking real estate deals with a Russian oligarch who himself was desperate for international investments to hide his liquid assets from the Russian courts. These deals were facilitated by an offshore bank known for laundering/hiding oligarch money with newly appointed Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross on it's board.




Hats off to Rachel Maddow and team. Expect 45's #FAKENEWS #FAILINGRACHELMADDOW tweet(s) before the end of the day.

JUST IN: Trump says he thinks Attorney General Sessions was truthful in his testimony to Congress.


UPDATE: Trump says he does not think Sessions should recuse himself from Russia investigations.

Shock and surprise as suspect gives full backing to prosecuting judge, chosen personally by suspect, who is now also a suspect in the allegations himself.
 
Banana republic.

It's funny because in part I feel like my whole life of following / participating in Brazilian politics has left me slightly better prepared for what's happening now, and I've heard other Brazilians express the same.

I've said it many times before, I say it again: You can't make this stuff up. If Hollywood had released a movie with everything that has happened during the campaign and since 45 has taken office, they'd be destroyed because it would be considered too far fetched. :D

If the 'juicy' details of Steele's dossier about 45 were to be verified, it would take this spectacle of a presidency on another unprecedented level of absurdity.

What was that about "draining the swamp again"? Kinda ironic that the cornerstone of Trumps campaign was knocking down those nasty politicians in DC a peg and a month in and nepotism seems to be running rampant in the administration
 
Ben Carson about to become point man for HUD -

"Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience, he's never run a federal agency. The last thing he would want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency."

:facepalm:

When all goes to shit they'd just blame it on the black guy not doing enough for black people.
 
Sessions will hold a presser at 4 am.
 
Not a chance. Greenwald is just being his usual attention seeking contrarian hipster self.

Greenwalds an odd one. He's written some great stuff but he so clearly wants fame. He's not actually an engaging speaker, seems to be wholly without humour and doesn't seem to be particularly nice and doesn't have a humble bone in his body.

If he just stayed behind a keyboard he'd be fine.

Yeah agreed, he definitely doesn't come off as convincing during interviews.

This is an excellent summary of him.

Nice. :lol:
 
So America's greatest enemy has infiltrated them, and not only that, made the types who hated those god damned commies into their puppets by voting a compromised government?

Say what you want about the Russians, but damn did they outsmart the yanks :lol:

Reminds me of this old video. You just know she voted Trump.
 
I hope, somehow, there was a bug in Sessions' meeting with the Russians and they're just letting him hang himself before revealing what they actually talked about, like they did with Flynn.

It's what they've been doing on everything else:

Leak the accusations with a vague "but it's not clear what was actually said...".
Let them decide how they are going to play it and twist themselves up with public lies.
Confirm they know everything when they've cornered themselves and left themselves no room to manoeuvre out of it.
(Offer immunity and get them to rat on the rest)




Regarding the last bit... is it possible that information from Flynn could have put the IC on this track?
 
If Trump was smart he would ditch sessions fast rather than holding onto a political battle he can´t win.

Regarding session all i will say is this: if you want to know a mans moral character then pay attention to if he speaks the truth when he has everything to gain from lying or if he speaks the truth when loses everything by doing so.
 
I'm glad the old prick finds this all so amusing. Smug twat! He's been laughing and smirking the whole time he's been talking. That's a sure sign of embarrassment and guilt.

And next to the tee we have Phil Mickleson....
