When Susan Rice and others go to jail, the RATs will learn of unintended consequenses.

The President is keeping the Rats distracted, while he pursues his agenda.

The witch is SHillary, we all know it! ...

K. Thanks. I’ll get right on it.

[combat_boots]

Yes. Pence AND HIS PAC. Thanking Donohue.

Pence and Kushner threw Christie out. Ryan and Priebus are GOPe.

This stinks. I didn’t vote Pence, NOR WILL I.

If I hear one more radical left-wing talking head say *collusion* I'll scream.

In an unscripted moment picked up by camera crews, the American president was more blunt: Let me get reelected first, he said; then I’ll have a better chance of making something happen.

“On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it’s important for him to give me space,” Obama can be heard telling Medvedev, apparently referring to incoming Russian president — and outgoing prime minister — Vladi­mir Putin.

“Yeah, I understand,” Medvedev replies, according to an account relayed by an ABC News producer, who said she viewed a recording of the discussion made by a Russian camera crew. “I understand your message about space. Space for you . . .”

“This is my last election,” Obama interjects. “After my election, I have more flexibility.”

Medvedev, who last week demanded written proof that Russia is not the intended target of U.S. missile defense efforts, responded agreeably.

“I understand,” he told the U.S. president. “I will transmit this information to Vladimir.”

Special investigator does DT a HUGE favor by taking issue off table for months (”can’t comment”) and opens doors for DNC hack indictments.

---

Not commenting on the sure to be daily 5:30 PM leak from the Special counsels office will not be adventagous.

Nothing good will come of this witch hunt. Trump & all his associates will get a years long waterboarding. Meanwhile, nothing the Democrats did will get investigated.

[LS]

Wrong. First, we NOW are at the point when the “5:30 leak” will be from the PROSECUTOR’S office. Oh, wait. There aren’t any.

Just how many leaks were there from Starr’s office? None. If there is a leak from a prosecutor’s office, it is squashed brutally. Because they really, really value their vaunted position.

Second, this basically shuts down ALL discussion of this for months. When you get Vox and Rolling Stone saying this special investigator is a bad idea & Dems need to back off, you know that what THEY know he’s likely to find will be on them.

We have a typical abused spouse relationship around here. I get it, but there’s a new sheriff in town and he just pulled a MASSIVE one over on the Dems and the fake news media.

It’s a great day.

FR has a wise and firmly established principle of "no advocating of violence in posts", and I firmly endorse that sensible posting principle. That said, I would just like to ask a question or two as simple points of clarification relating to the posting boundaries involved in that wise and valuable principle.

For example, does that FR posting restriction principle apply even to posts about stinking, rotten, treasonous journalists? Does it apply even to posts about Stephen Colbert? Does it apply to posts about Chuck Schumer, and other Dirtycraps? How about John McCain posts, or Lindsey Graham posts, or posts about similar traitorous Repugnantcons?

What forms and degrees of persuasive techniques are permissible and can be employed to convince these loathsome people to stop their lying, evil, despicable, anti-American ways? (Is waterboarding considered violence?)

(My thought is that we could have some kind of contest, with a list of journalists and others who desperately need to be straightened out, and a point value placed next to each name on that list, and whichever FReeper can find a proper and decent and allowable way to convince and straighten out a person on that list will then be rewarded somehow in accord with the point value placed next to that malodorous name.)

the Dems might not be liking Rosenstein or Mueller much in a few weeks’ time when the spotlight swings around, and it will.

Reading Comey's testimony of March 20, 2017 is interesting [transcript which has a lot of discussion by Comey about whether a crime was committed when someone fabricates something. and passes it off as leaked intelligence, knowing that it is not protected intelligence.

In other words, a lot of Comey's investigation, the investigation that Mueller is to undertake, is focused on understanding where the whole notion of Russian interference came from.

Rosenstein's order appointing Mueller charges Mueller with investigating "any other matters within the scope of 28 CFR 600.4(a). This section provides:

The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall be established by the Attorney General. The Special Counsel will be provided with a specific factual statement of the matter to be investigated. The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall also include the authority to investigate and prosecute federal crimes committed in the course of, and with intent to interfere with, the Special Counsel's investigation, such as perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and intimidation of witnesses; and to conduct appeals arising out of the matter being investigated and/or prosecuted.

As they say. there are too tragedies in life, not getting what you want and getting it.

The whining democrats got what they asked for and may life to regret it.

Pence is setting up a PAC for Congressional candidates in 2018 “who support the Trump Agenda.” (that is close to Pence’s quote)

Sorry, I don’t have the link, but I saw the exposition of this sometime this morning.

Headline was framed on Drudge as Pence sandbagging Trump and the actual article itself, IIRC, explained the situation.

[blueplum]

I just read (considering the source) an almost astounding article in the Rolling Stone. Juxtapose their analysis of Comey and Clapper - calling Clapper’s statements into question as well as Comey’s seemingly irrational secrecy. And a nice little bonus to the article is discussing how FARA is violated on a daily basis in DC. Wrapping up with a challenge to liberals (!) that ‘secret police’ and ‘lingering under public suspicion’ are what they are supposed to be against!:

FBI Director pick/appointment has become political, like Supreme Court Justices, other courts, etc.
