ABC News.. “JUST IN: "We could have done this in open setting," says former FBI Dir. Comey after facing questions from House Republicans. "We're talking again about Hillary Clinton's emails, for heaven's sake, so I'm not sure we need to do this at all." abcn.ws/ & “Former FBI Dir. James Comey: "I think the president's attacks on the Justice Department broadly and the FBI are something that, no matter what political party you're in, you should find deeply troubling." Are they serious? They still care about emails from someone who isn't even in office, but don't give a damn what the man in the White House is doing?!

I know we're all distracted with the Cohen and Manafort memos right now, but I just wanted to point out that the head of the VA had lots of good things to say about the Confederacy today. Read and vomit at your leisure.

Fields, 21, was found guilty in the killing of Heather Heyer and faces a possible sentence of life in prison.Heyer, a 32-year-old paralegal, was demonstrating with dozens of others against the "Unite the Right" rally when Fields drove his car into the crowd after a day of tense clashes between members of alt-right groups and those opposed to their presence. He was also found guilty of eight counts of malicious wounding and one count of failing to stop at an accident involving a death. * www.cnn.com/2018/12/07/us/charlottesville-james-fields-trial/index.html

it DID begin in the primaries-- Dean Obeidallah did a very long interview last night with Seth Abramson, author of the new book Proof of Collusion, and his interview laid it all out VERY clearly, even for a non-political person like me. IIRC, Trump changed his position on Russia during the primaries and started with the 'Russia can be our friend' line during the primaries, and changed the GOP platforms's stance on Russia for the Convention. He wouldn't have done that unless there was something in it for him (lifting sanctions means Russian $$ into his businesses). Seriously, the interview went at least 30 minutes; it was great, and now I really want to read the book. It covers ALL of the ties between all of the various Russians, Trump's trying to get a Trump Tower in Moscow, Ivanka touring the Kremlin in 2006 and getting to sit in Vladmir Putin's chair!!!, etc. etc. -- all of those types of things show JUST how long it's been going on ( much longer than has publicly been discussed before, I would say), how close their ties are to Putin and the oligarchs / powers that be in Russia, etc. That Twitter feed Lincoln'sBible also goes into detail about the banks, who runs them, how they're tied to the Russian government, who the various players are, etc. and how they all tie to Trump and the people in his orbit (Manafort, Cohen, Roger Stone, Roy Cohn, etc.), how he ended up in bed with the mob because of his real estate and hotel business in NYC (the cement companies were mob run, etc.). I haven't finished reading it all yet, but even if only one TENTH of it is true, it's very scary and sounds like a spy movie. @bergdorfblonde, you'll probably read my post and say "yes!! we knew all of it, all along!" lol. And WHY none of that info was required to come out during the campaign still mystifies me. I hope after this debacle of a Presidency is over with, they at least pass legislation to REQUIRE tax returns and business dealings MUST be disclosed before someone even becomes the nominee.

So things that could be tied either directly or indirectly to Trump? Or at least relevant to the Trump campaign? (you're such a rockstar to answer all of my questions, thank you) Only this (Individual 1 is Trump): During the campaign, Cohen played a central role in two similar schemes to purchase the rights to stories – each from women who claimed to have had an affair with Individual-1 – so as to suppress the stories and thereby prevent them from influencing the election. With respect to both payments, Cohen acted with the intent to influence the 2016 presidential election. Cohen coordinated his actions with one or more members of the campaign, including through meetings and phone calls, about the fact, nature, and timing of the payments. (PSR ¶ 51). In particular, and as Cohen himself has now admitted, with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of Individual-1. (PSR ¶¶ 41, 45). As a result of Cohen’s actions, neither woman spoke to the press prior to the election. (PSR ¶ 51). (So...he had falsely represented these payments as legal retainer and was seeking reimbursement by labeling his invoices as legal expenses.) Outstanding!

James Comey..
“Today wasn’t a search for truth, but a desperate attempt to find anything that can be used to attack the institutions of justice investigating this president. They came up empty today but will try again. In the long run, it'll make no difference because facts are stubborn things.”

Read and vomit at your leisure. It always amazes me to know that not only did someone have those thoughts, but thought it would be a grand idea to share them in public. I just don't know how we made it to 2018 and still have people who think like this.

I missed 'boarder' too. Just realized that dt has created thousands of boarders and he is keeping them in tent cities and separating families, supervised by those who have NOT had finger print and background checks!!

She needs to learn to ignore these “taunts”. She would be better off ignoring then instead of issuing threats. And yes some took this response as a threat to the point where she had to respond to that. Its counterproductive. Here is her response... “For the GOP crying that this is a “threat” - I don’t have power to subpoena anybody. Congress as a body, GOP included, has the power. No indiv. member can issue a subpoena unless they are a Chair (which, as a freshman, I can assure you I will not be). Also must be under purview.” I’m not even sure why she felt the need to bring up “subpoena power” in the first place.

What always amazes me by these kind of moments is shouldn't he have a handler of some kind that could have prepared him for this procedure? They could've walked him through exactly what to do and when. But maybe he just really doesn't care. Or he could have followed what others are doing, like everyone who has ever attended any unfamiliar event, ever. Or, if only there were a spouse or someone by his side that could’ve helped by subtly elbow nudging him...
