Trump associates may have coordinated with Russians, according to US officials

LOL. The “tick/boom” guy predicted a “boom” coming on this last Monday, didn’t he? Then on Tuesday. etc.

I love this stringing along though. As long as people like you keep hoping for something that causes Trump’s doom, it keeps them occupied and out of trouble.

Yeah, you’re right. We’ve probably seen the last of the Trump drama for the rest of his term. Now it’s down to business, without all the distractions.

Definitely not. As I said before, Trump thrives on chaos and seeding confusion among his detractors. It was obvious before the election and is obvious now.

LOL. He accurately predicted that a story regarding the Trump administration colluding with a foreign power was coming. And that a story regarding Comey having contemporaneous memos on his wildly inappropriate conversations with Trump himself was coming. LOL.

Also, while we’re at it, a middle of the night tweet by Eric Holder seems to portend something important:

“To the career men & women at DOJ/FBI: your actions and integrity will be unfairly questioned. Be prepared, be strong. Duty. Honor. Country.”

Does he consider his employees and allies to also be detractors? Because he is sowing chaos and confusion among them, too.

I do not count Trump supporters on online message boards as “allies” for the purposes of that statement. Such supporters are never confused: Trump is always right.

A bit uncertain, unspecific. Is he right because he speaks the truth, or is he right anyway?

Don’t try to confuse the issue! :mad:

So was that “bombshell” (rotflmao) about Smith looking for Hillary’s emails the big “Boom” to the Wittes’ pathetic attention-seeking “tick tick tick” tweets?

Wow. What a fizzle.

Maybe it is the way you all tell jokes, but I’m just not getting the punchline to anything in this thread.

WASHINGTON (AP) – In stories published April 6, June 2, June 26 and June 29, The Associated Press reported that all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies have agreed that Russia tried to influence the 2016 election to benefit Donald Trump. That assessment was based on information collected by three agencies - the FBI, CIA and National Security Agency - and published by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which represents all U.S. intelligence agencies. Not all 17 intelligence agencies were involved in reaching the assessment.

How nice of them to correct the record. NYT and others had to issue a correction as well. Of course, the “17 US intelligence agencies” thing has been included in these stories much longer than just since April 6. For example this story.

So, it’s only the opinion of the FBI, CIA and NSA and the Coast Guard didn’t weigh in? Blasphemy! Do you have evidence that the Coast Guard disagrees?

If the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency wasn’t involved in the assessment, it’s fucking worthless! :mad:

Dude, if this is true, then his detractors make up the vast majority of the country. The purpose of presidential statements is to inform the public, not to leave them wondering.

Boom.

… a fizzle :slight_smile: Oh no, some guy named Smith was looking for Hillary’s emails. Wasn’t that the story from yesterday or the day before?

Aren’t you tired of that football being yanked away? How much do you want to bet that this story is not going to develop into anything? I am taking bets.

Trump is doomed! Doomed I tell ya!

Hey I’d like nothing better than to see Trump wheeled out in a straitjacket and a mask.

But all these half assed non-gotcha stories so far are falling short. Would it really surprise you that some rich Trump supporter would make himself out to be a Dark Webber?

Tait says:
“As I mentioned above, Smith and his associates’ knowledge of the inner workings of the campaign were insightful beyond what could be obtained by merely attending Republican events or watching large amounts of news coverage.”

How would he know Smith wasn’t just talking out his ass?

Guy spends like 18 paragraphs without getting past the line of scrimmage.

Except for the possible value of baiting Trump into a unrecoverable meltdown, people should either just shut up and wait to hear from Mueller or else march in the streets day after day and force the issue.

But it’s so much fun to watch.

  1. Some rich guy named was trying to find Hillary’s deleted emails.
  2. He asked some people if they could help him.
  3. He didn’t find the emails.
  4. He died recently so you can’t even ask him anything.
    …?
  5. Trump is doomed!

So far as scandals go this is moving along fairly quickly. Check your US history. Where did anyone get the idea that we were supposed to have an en flagrante moment right now or never?

Anyone really think that the patterns we see already don’t mean anything? I’d have a really hard time inventing a fictional universe around the facts as we know them where there isn’t.

Trump apologists, of course. Just another BS rationalization to justify that their leader walks on water.

Yep, the smoke is chokingly thick. You wouldn’t buy the lies from your 8-year-old let alone supposed adults.
