Please note that there is another massive ballon which to keep an eye. Thanks in part to the tax cuts, the debt ceiling day of reckoning is coming soon.

Trump declaring war on his own government

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

The top Leadership and Investigators of the FBI and the Justice Department have politicized the sacred investigative process in favor of Democrats and against Republicans - something which would have been unthinkable just a short time ago. Rank & File

Here we go.... God save our republic.

When asked if the memo makes it more likely he will fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Trump responds: "You figure that one out."

Media can't behave like a SLOW-MOTION Saturday Night Massacre thru separate attacks/firing of DOJ/FBI is less devastating to democracy and the rule of law because it takes place in several steps. A Rosenstein firing = breakdown of rule of law. Highest alarm must be raised now.

Ari Melber

@AriMelber

As discussed... Under law, only "Rosenstein can fire Mueller, and only if he finds Mueller has committed misconduct — something Rosenstein has repeatedly said he has not seen any sign of. But, if Trump were to fire Rosenstein, he [might hire] a more accommodating replacement"

David, it has been about the GOP for too long. This is just about uncovering the rock and seeing what is and has been beneath it

David Jolly

@DavidJollyFL

Folks, starting today, this is no longer about the Russians. This is now about the GOP.

If what is in the memo is accurate folks have some 'splainin to do.

Intentionaly misleading or lying a to federal judge in order to obtain a FISA warrant is a serious offense

McCabe supposedly said (under oath) that the FBI likely wouldnt have gotten the warrant were it not for the Steele Dossier. FBI neglected to tell FISA judges that source of the memo-DNC

We've been told by every source that the memo was an excercise in partisan gerrymandering yet this is the response offered. This thread is a microcosm of the shïtshow that is US politics.

Comey said under oath that the Dossier was salacious and unverified......yet they used it to pull a surveilance warrant on Trumps campaign, and neglected to tell the FISA judge the origon of the memo


Absolutely fvckin disgrace......if the shoe was on the other foot Democrats would have taken to the streets by now

maigheo

Washington Free Beacon had NOTHING to do with the DOSSIER

http://freebeacon.com/uncategorized/fusion-gps-washington-free-beacon/

"All of the work that Fusion GPS provided to the Free Beacon was based on public sources, and none of the work product that the Free Beacon received appears in the Steele dossier. The Free Beacon had no knowledge of or connection to the Steele dossier, did not pay for the dossier, and never had contact with, knowledge of, or provided payment for any work performed by Christopher Steele. Nor did we have any knowledge of the relationship between Fusion GPS and the Democratic National Committee, Perkins Coie, and the Clinton campaign."

Hahahahaha....so if elements of the dossier were salacious and unverified, and the wife of a prominent DOJ official worked for Fusion GPS, and that DOJ official had an "off the record" meeting with Steele, and another "off the record" meeting with Fusion GPS, what would you think if a similiar dossier were used by Republicans to secure a warrant and wiretap Hillarys campaign?

Indeed.

But maybe we should wait and see (assuming its released) what the other memo says.

All we're getting is partisan spin and noise from both sides, one side crying "worse than Watergate", the other calling it a cherry-picked attempt to muddy the water, and with Trump's own DOJ opposing him on this and yet more of his appointees being lined up for dismissal as the Mueller investigation progresses and gets closer to interviewing himself and asking difficult questions about the conduct of his kids.
