Andy McCabe is STILL in the Intel hearing? What is this, hour SIX???
No time-wasting grandstanding for the cameras in a closed-door session.
Must be getting pretty hot in there.
My guess would be that Trump knew, starting November 17th, 2016, when NSA Director Mike Rogers paid a visit to Trump at Trump Tower.
Yeah, and?
SEE #15
Yes, very good point. That Mike Rogers meeting always stands out.
But Trump has been plugged in for a long time. Remaining a successful business man in NYC I’m sure required intelligence.
I hope someday Trump will write a book to tell us where he got all of this inside information!
.
What if he has no intention to do so?
Everyone seems to get so wound up on Fake News.

JUST REPORTING THE SPIN they love so much - I like the paragraph about DJT being ‘manic’ and ‘depressed’...
Interestingly, just saw on foxnews that ABCCBSMSNBC never reported a whisper about Obama’ admin allowing shipments of opium into the US and blocked career FBI and CIA agents to stop them, HOPING to get the Iran deal thru -
And Hey! We have them 150 BILLION and that was worth it, right?? /s
‘My guess would be that Trump knew, starting November 17th, 2016, when NSA Director Mike Rogers paid a visit to Trump at Trump Tower. ‘
I wish the intelligence committees would question Adm Rogers in open session as to what he told the President Elect - then all the dirt would tumble out... :)
Trump can simply file a motion to disqualify Mueller and his entire office for breach of attorney-client privilege concerning the GSA documents. Mike Flynn might be able to do so depending on what’s in the privileged documents - that’s a complicated legal standing issue.
that makes a lot of sense, and his lawyers should be on the spot to do it...
which leads us to ask “Why haven’t/don’t they?
Maybe Mueller/Rosie ARE working on the side of the angels.
First because of simple lead time. They have to learn just what PTT documents were provided by the GSA to Mueller, then go through those sentence by sentence looking for potential privilege claims, and then decide which of those they want to base a motion on. Then they have to prepare a PR strategy and write the motion, then rewrite it based on events in the PR campaign. And go through the "good faith" charade of negotiating with Mueller. Only then can they file & serve the motion. Followed by months waiting for Mueller's opposition. This will easily take us through November 2018. Then there's the hearing and months more for a District Court ruling, and more months for a Circuit Court of Appeal ruling.
Second, Trump owns Mueller now.
Third, there are major benefits for going the slow motion route. That way Trump isn't firing Mueller, but is instead _replacing_ him as Special Prosecutor (along with Mueller's whole office) with someone less compromised, say Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who rather clearly won't give Trump any breaks for personal rivalry problems. Ted Cruz is way qualified as a Special Prosecutor here. But he's just an example.
There are lots of _wonderful_ political possibiltiies here.
