Jack Welch's Pubes
Right. cnbc, the folks who helped Trump get elected.
Speaking of cnbc, Joe Kernen's face looks like Jack Welch's pubes. Oh, sorry. That is Joe's face in Jack Welch's pubes.

Well golly gee whillakers. I'm glad some random guy on the internet knows so well that Russia is controlling the White House. He must know more than the intelligence services.
I'm sure it's undeniable at this point. There are so many people sharing classified info it's not even funny, and the huge fake news companies eat it up. Hell, when the news isn't crazy enough, they just make up their own shit and attribute an "anonymous govt source".
Also, it's almost impossible for politicians to not lie. Sometimes they just want to, sometimes to make their $donors happy, or because someone else has dirt on them, so they do the other's bidding to avoid getting leaked on themselves.
You don't know the truth any more than I do. But hey, if shouting more of your hate makes you feel good, do it in the shower where you can properly get off on it. The rest of us don't want to hear your ramblings.

Well if it really is "classified info" they're getting, then it's not fake news, is it?
If you're going to go with the "fake news" fake out, then you're going to have to stick with the "they're making all this shit up" argument. It can't be both.

John Brennan testifies: There were at least known "contacts and interactions" between the Trump team and Russian agents.
Also, Trump asked the DNI and the NSA chief to publicly deny any evidence of cooperation between his campaign and the Russians.
There is some there there.

Why not? He's telling the truth, ain't he? And nobody backing Trump has any business complaining about coarse language.

We know people talked to the Russian ambassador, which isn't illegal.
as of today, Trump has committed NO crimes, none.....nada
but the FBI and the CIA have....

But it is, in an American election campaign operative, very highly suspicious; and an offense need not be indictable to be impeachable.

how about being a better role model for kids....maybe learn to use better language when speaking to the public.
The FBI and CIA have been committing crimes for decades. So what? Should they be abolished? Of course I'm all for the responsible individual agents being brought to justice -- but none have apparently committed any crimes in connection with the Trump campaign or admin.

Not in connection with Trump; they have committed no crimes there.

Russia does not control the White House. In the immediate past they used their intelligence service to gain access to DNC e-mails. Everybody knows Putin hates Hillary. Reason enough for him. The release of these added to the level of mistrust of Hillary Clinton. According the Trump, Comey was fired over the e-mail investigation. So as a bonus Ivan scored a removal of the director of US counter-intelligence.
When it was economically not viable to build golf courses Trump was still doing using Russian investors.
You want to talk Deep State. Follow the money. The Russian contacts were not intelligence officers. They are oligarchs, ministers and businessmen with connection to Putin. They don't even have to put shit in code because technically nothing was said.
The guys who meet with the Russian contacts should not be given government jobs. Pay them off with corporate directorships or summat. Or they should have sent fall guy flunkies. Yanks don't trust their government as it stands. Some may support Trump but a shitload still don't like spying governments or ex-Commies. Bad move to give them high level access jobs.

Don't tell that to Perez, tell it to Trump, whose sins in that regard are far worse and whose influence in that regard is far more pernicious.

Taking money from his charity to pay personal/business expenses is, I'm pretty sure, illegal.
Sexual assault is illegal.
Stiffing a small family owned business for tens of thousands of dollars is only legal because he's very wealthy.

However, lying about it under oath is perjury.We know people talked to the Russian ambassador, which isn't illegal.

Excellent advice for Trump, who has much more public exposure.

Several things are clear but a lot is not.
There was contact between Trump's team and some Russians, that seems indisputable as Trump sacked Flynn for lying about his contact with them
What's not clear is whether the contact was illegal in some way. However Flynn is hiding behind the 5th amendment, which immediately suggests guilt about something illegal. Also I read somewhere that Flynn said he'd spill the beans if he was guaranteed immunity from prosecution. That, if factual, also implies he did something with the Russians that was illegal.
So... As an interested observer I'm real keen to watch this one play out.

Actually, watch the rest of the top of the party, the elected members and they have secret information and are moving off of collusion in order to get Mueller to investigate "obstruction."
Hell, I was out yesterday morning and Glenn Beck was citing sources, which I take with a grain of salt, it is Glenn Beck, that submit that top Democrat fundraisers are hiring mental health people to analyze Trump's off-the-cuff speeches and answers to question in order to make the case that he is not competent and that the 25th Amendment should be employed..
This is some rabbit hole the Democrats are digging.

I just reported post #2.
Let's see if it gets the same treatment as you got.
