Bottom line is there is no way in hell that the Russians would have genually preferred a strong-on-defense Trump/Pence team over a very weak democrat one, particularly while they are in the process of basically restoring their evil empire.

Comrade Obama had bent over backwards demonstrating his promised “flexibilty” to Putin on such critical matters as missile defense and nukes, including the Iran nuke deal that Putin loved so much and claimed to have had a major hand in formulating.

Add this to Obama’s near crippling of our military under his “fundamental transformation” program. Then there was his and Hillary’s insane Uranium One deal, which handed the Russians over 20% of our uranium production!

From leftwingnut site DemocracyNow: DR. JILL STEIN: Nothing happened at that dinner. Michael Flynn has his own issues going on with Russia. You know, I can say that, for my own part, that picture circulates without a single fact. I was there with a number of peace advocates, who, you know, unfortunately, we have to turn to Russian TV and to Democracy Now!, but there are very few TV stations that cover peace candidates. I was there with Rocky Anderson and Ray McGovern*.

AMY GOODMAN: The former mayor of Salt Lake City.

Two of those people at the table are Rocky Anderson and Ray McGovern. Ray McGovern is part of VIPS- anti Hillary but pro John Kerry. VIPS was a group which was involved in the effort to go after Scooter Libby that was led by Comey's friend Patrick Fitzgerald.

Lol! "Peace activists" and the Russians go back a long way. The "peace movement" was largely orchestrated from Moscow.

Two of those people at the table are Rocky Anderson and Ray McGovern.[ There was another photo from the event.] Ray McGovern is part of VIPS- anti Hillary but pro John Kerry. VIPS was a group which was involved in the effort to go after Scooter Libby that was led by Comey's friend Patrick Fitzgerald. McGovern's anti-Israel. He's now running abut acting like he supports Trump, etc.....

[piasa]

Exactly.

VIPS was prominent in the whole Niger yellowcake kerfluffle along with reporters Corn and Isikoff, who also figured big in the Steele Dossier / FISA court shenanigans.

Your azz is pure “horse feces”. Manaford’s Russia ties are probably even worse than Flynn’s. Flynn was/is a lifelong democrat and an Obama appointee. To remain a democrat given the hard commie-left shift of the party speaks volumes on its own. Manaford worked to get Putin’s puppet elected president of the Ukraine. An election in which the US-friendy candidate survived an assassination attempt via poisoning.

Thanks for all this. Will read it more closely when I have more time.

From the Salt Lake Trib:
In the center is Vladimir Putin, the Russian president; at his right elbow, retired U.S. Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, at the time hardly a household name. A few seats over, among high-ranking Russian officials and other VIPs, is Jill Stein, the Harvard doctor and 2016 (and quadrennial) Green Party presidential candidate.
Seated one or two tables away at that now-infamous dinner? Former Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson.

Former Salt Lake City mayor was at a nearby table.

Watch video · Flynn actually introduced himself to me just before we sat down at the dinner. I thought it was curious that there was a military person at this conference that largely seemed to be peace advocates. And I should mention, by the way, that Ray McGovern was there, Rocky Anderson, Jesse Ventura, Thom Hartmann, Max Blumenthal.

Max Blumenthal?

Amy Goodman is very very tight with Valerie Plame

Can’t recall who Godman’s married to but maybe it’s someone interesting.

ABC News apologized Wednesday after airing a graphic that falsely stated former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort pleaded guilty to five counts of manslaughter -- but the network would not reveal how the embarrassing mistake happened.

Well, it wasn't an accident. ABC is on par with CNN.

Brian was in my J school class at Iowa. He was a prick then. Still is.
