I just saw what all those intelligence officials said about Russian meddling in our elections, and yet
- @puestoloco:What Intel did Trump, Kelly & Pompeo give to 3 Russian spy agencies? • Why were they here? Why was it secret? Why did Trump waive sanctions for 2? • What did they take back to Russia? • Why did Moscow Times break the story? • Who are Kelly's 40 without security clearances?https://twitter.com/MaddowBlog/status/963241579220733953 …

The Steele dossier is absurd. Take 10 minutes and read it yourself. It's online. Ask yourself as you do: who would believe something like this? It's so transparently partisan and unlikely. ....Yet this is the doc the FBI used to justify spying on American citizens.

You just heard Tucker Carlson say this. Russian bots can't think for themselves.
Susan Rice, known for her willingness to lie publicly to protect Obama administration/Hillary State Department narratives (see her fine work on Benghazi), wrote an email to herself, minutes before Trump was to become president, pretending to detail a meeting that had occurred 15 days before. She wrote the email on January 20th; she pretends to memorialize a meeting that occurred January 5th.
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2018/02/13/susan-rice-email-n2448167
Here, Rice says they talked about withholding information from the duly elected president:
Rice continued, saying, “President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.”
"The President asked Comey to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Comey said he would."
If Rice's email is truthful about Comey's presence at this little meeting, then Comey misled Congress by not informing them about it.
trump has been dealing with Russians since 1986, he refuses to release his tax returns, he refuses to enact sanctions, his son is on tape trying to make a deal with the Russians, his SoS was given the highest award that can be given in Russia by Putin himself, four of his associates have been indicted, he was bailed out of his financial troubles by Russians.........and we should just ignore ALL of this?

Comey Told Congress That FBI Determined that Michael Flynn Did Not Lie In Interviews, But DOJ Senior Officials Had a Particular Desire to Find Him Guilty of Something
According to two sources familiar with the meetings, Comey told lawmakers that the FBI agents who interviewed Flynn did not believe that Flynn had lied to them, or that any inaccuracies in his answers were intentional. As a result, some of those in attendance came away with the impression that Flynn would not be charged with a crime pertaining to the Jan. 24 interview.
Nine months later, with Comey gone and special counsel Robert Mueller in charge of the Trump-Russia investigation, Flynn pleaded guilty to one count of making false statements to the FBI in that Jan. 24 questioning.
...
[I]t appears the FBI did not think Flynn had done anything wrong in the [calls to Russian FM Kislyak]. On Jan. 23, the Washington Post reported that the FBI had reviewed the Flynn-Kislyak calls and "has not found any evidence of wrongdoing or illicit ties to the Russian government." (The calls had been intercepted by U.S. intelligence because the U.S. monitored the Russian ambassador's communications — something which Flynn, a former chief of the Defense Intelligence Agency, surely knew.)
Still, Flynn's conversation had the attention of the Obama Justice Department, and in particular of deputy attorney general Sally Yates, who reportedly believed Flynn might have violated the Logan Act, a 218 year-old law under which no one had ever been successfully prosecuted. (Two people were charged in the 19th century, but the cases were dropped.)
It was Yates who sent the FBI agents to interview Flynn, on the bizarre theory that he might have violated the LOGAN ACT (which is not enforced because you cannot make it illegal to talk to foreigners, and which only even gets discussed as a law when used against Republicans -- Democrats can chat up foreign potentates and enemy leaders all the doo-dah day) and on the bizarre theory that he might be blackmailable.
On those thin reeds, Yates built her case against Flynn.
Oh, and Yates was at that January 5 meeting. Coincidentally enough.
Could it be that that January 5 meeting was to coordinate what the Obama loyalists who would continue in their jobs after the inauguration should be doing to further the coup?

Top story on Tucker's show was the Steele docier and Hannity lead off with the Susan Rice email. So predictable. Yawn. Let's ignore trump's smoke and go back to the Obama administration.

The email from Susan Rice to herself, is literally her own "insurance policy"
Rice wanted it on file in the Obama archive.
The timing and names of this email are significant.
Susan Rice knows her crimes. This would give her immunity to take down a bigger fish.
Obama had been dealing with intelligence about Russia interfering with our election for months, but felt that whatever measures he took before the election to counter it would be condemned as partisan, like McConnell had told him to his face, and having dealt with Republican obstruction since literally the day before his inauguration, wanted to avoid saddling Hillary with any more of that than necessary.
Nobody thought Fergus would win (not even Fergus) so the actions were seen as the best for the country under the circumstances.
After the election, Obama, in possession of the best intelligence he could get, broke protocol when he imposed sanctions on Russia for attacking our election by not alerting Fergus or his transition that he was going to do so.
Meaning that they found out about the new sanctions when everyone else did, right after Obama met with Kislyak and told him that he was expelling a few dozen Russians, seizing a couple of Russian compounds, and imposing sanctions on various Russians involved in the attack.
Kislyak was furious, and immediately called Flynn, who was vacationing at the time, and was caught by our intelligence services making a deal with him to hold off retaliating against the sanctions, a move unheard of in Russian foreign relations, and wait for Fergus' administration to assume office, after which all of the sanctions, not just the new ones, would be lifted.
And fancy that, Putin decided not to retaliate, and Flynn lied his ass off about the call.
This intercept left the Obama administration in a quandary: they had audio of Flynn, the incoming NSA, conspiring with a hostile foreign government to undermine US foreign policy.
So how much classified info should they give him?
Obama, in the meeting about that, told the law enforcement heads to continue their investigations, and to do it "by the book" with no input from him. He asked his counterintelligence heads to inform him if they found any national security information that would be unsafe to convey to the incoming national security apparatus.
That's what Rice's note was about.
Knowing that the baseless attacks against her would never stop as long as there was a Fox News, she made a record of circumstances that forced Obama to do things that as a "process guy" were entirely out of character for him, but entirely appropriate for dealing with the goddamn incoming NSA conspiring with the goddamn Russians to subvert US foreign policy.
And about those sanctions? There have been multiple attempts to arrange lifting them, once by a "peace agreement" for Ukraine that Fergus' lawyer delivered directly to Flynn, who lied about that also, and most recently by Fergus and Tillerson refusing to implement the sanctions passed by congress.
When you add in the gutting of the state department, the fracturing of our alliances with their adversaries, and the spectacular beclowning of our government and political processes, the goddamn Russians got a mighty big bang for their rouble, so of course they are back for more shenanigans ahead of this year's election.
It's funny and sad watching NRA fans in Tennessee fawn over the Russians like they were some kind of good ol' boys, when they are about as anti-freedom as they are likely to run across, especially where guns are concerned.
We tried to tell them.

Doug,

Infiltration of the USA by the Russian government hacking into our democratic elections and its implications to the national security of our country is no big deal to the folks that voted for this POTUS.
Putin is laughing his ass off. I'm sure he looking at America as a sinking "ship of FOOLS!"
When a foreign government can hack an election, and disseminate false information to fuel racial tension, that's when you know they've got this country by the balls.
Time to learn the Russian National Anthem.
American belongs to Putin.
Be careful Comrade Doug.
"Obama, in the meeting about that, told the law enforcement heads to continue their investigations, and to do it "by the book" with no input from him"
If you are doing things "by the book", you don't need to say so twice in a one page memo, and you don't write the memo 11 days after the meeting as you are walking out the door for the last time.
How did Obama plan on keeping Russia investigation information way from the incoming administration? By coordinating people (like Yates) who were holdovers to conspire to keep information from the President. This itself is a high crime.
Yeah, Obama's the one going to jail. Yawn. I guess on the same day the 4,000 indictments will come out right? Bwahahahahahaha!
"Time to learn the Russian National Anthem.
American belongs to Putin."
Russia's evil plan:
Tax cut to stimulate the economy.
Lower unemployment to record levels.
Huge increase in American military spending.
Enforce America's border laws.

Stoopid fucking wingnuts, what psrt(s) of the Steele Dossier have been proven false? Let's see them and your so called proof because I have seen nothing that says any of it is not true, just unverified.

My bad- it was 144 workers hired and only one American.
The Black Panther has a sister does that make her the Pink Panther?
Collusion with Russia by any other name is collusion with Russia.
Glad Drumpfuck assured us all no one from his campaign had any contacts with any Russians because that would be more collusion.
Glad Drumpfuck Jr only met with a few Russians in Drumpfuck Tower because that was only minor collusion.
Yet this is the doc the FBI used to justify spying on American citizens.
Nothing in the Dossier has been refudiated. It was not the only excuse for a FISA warrant.
Show me what was refudiated and the evidence for that.
Fucking white people are doing all they can to keep black people happy. They've entirely created, written, funded and marketed a movie that blacks get to pretend has anything at all to do with them. Black unemployment, lowest ever. And still it's not enough.

And yer proof, Steely Dan?
Here is a part of what Glenn Simpson told congress under oath about the Dossier- Well, the facts are — beyond what’s here I don’t have any additional facts. The alleged incident that’s described here is the one that he was referring to. As I say, I don’t have really any additional information beyond this except that — I mean, it’s probably in here somewhere actually, but it’s well known in intelligence circles that the Russians have cameras in all the luxury hotel rooms and there are memoirs written about this by former Russian intelligence agents I could quote you. So the problem of kompromat and kompromating is just endemic to east-west intelligence work. So that’s what I’m referring to. That’s what he’s referring to.
There is no smoking proof it did happen, but there is a good chance it did happen and there is nothing to say it did not happen.
Had you trotted something like this out against HRC, it would be sworn gospel it was all true and every right wing dingbat on the internet would be howling for HRC's head on a platter.

Re: 9:37 Am
So you'll take Vlad... THE POTUS and Vlad are happy you feel this way.
Tax breaks for the very rich, no taxes paid by corporations. How long do you think your middle class tax dollars can keep this country running while the very rich pay NOTHING, NADA, ZILCH IN TAXES?
Taxes from the middle class AMERICANS will be paying for the wall (NOT MEXICO).
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that 99.9% of the people who are overstaying their visas or here in this country illegally did not come across a border wall from Mexico.
They can build a 100 foot wall and it still wouldn't stop all of the border control officials who may be "on the take" and getting paid millions to look the other way or forced to remain silent ....Or else!
It is amazing how the rich keep getting richer on the backs of the uninformed....
THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF THIS TAX REFORM PLAN WILL BE FELT VERY SHORTLY AS FOLLOWS....READ ON IF YOU DARE!
- Those Who Can Least Afford It Will Pay the Most for These "Reforms." The math is most compelling because it's mostly subtraction for working people.
Since the in GOP plan is not cutting corporate loopholes, bringing back trillions in offshore cash by corporations and cutting defense spending, again, the only way to reduce the federal deficit is to slash big programs like Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid.
This cruel math hurts everyone from retired people in nursing homes to the working poor. There's no help for families paying for long-term care, payroll taxes or college.
Graduate students and families paying off college debt see whatever modest tax breaks vanish. That will further mushroom the outrageous cost of college. GOD HELP YOU IF YOU GET SICK OR HOSPITALIZED AND HAVE ADDITIONAL MEDICAL BILLS THAT YOUR MEDICAL INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER....NO MORE WRITE OFFS FOR THOSE EITHER
Instead of giving families tax credits for college bills and nursing/home care bills, they pay more out of pocket while the estate and alternative minimum tax on the ultra-affluent disappear.
And on health care, the GOP tax reform template would cause millions to lose their health coverage or pay more, according to a fresh analysis from the AARP Public Policy Institute:
-- People ages 50 to 64 would face average premium increases of up to $1,500 in 2019 as a result of the bill, the AARP study found.
-- The Senate plan eliminates the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate, which requires most Americans to have health insurance. But eliminating the mandate would leave 4 million more Americans uninsured by 2019 and 13 million by 2025, according to Congressional Budget Office estimates.
-- With fewer younger, healthier people obligated to pay for health insurance, average overall premiums in the individual market would rise about 10 percent annually “in most years” over the next decade, the CBO said.
-- Older Americans ages 50 to 64, who typically pay higher insurance premiums, would bear the brunt of the mandate’s demise.
The independent, non-partisan Tax Policy Center reached this conclusion:
"...not only would the tax cuts continue to be regressive, but the vast majority of American households would actually be worse off, with the tax cuts plus the financing, than they would be if the tax cuts had not occurred."
If only key members of Congress could receive visitations from the wise spirit representing the grim, morbid future for most Americans under GOP tax reform, then this flailing of "the excess population" can be avoided.
Tax cut benefits middle and lower classes the most, and provides a huge stimulus in the form of the corporate tax cut. Corporations have responded by issuing bonuses and raising pay, resulting in the first real bump in wages in a decade.
But you are butthurt because Trump did it, so you parrot a bunch of liberal group talking points that lower taxes and higher wages are a bad thing for working people.
No one buys this shit anymore.
The Tax Policy Center is neither independent nor non-partisan.....

All praise Obama and fuck the orange shitgibbon usurper in the WH.
The possibility of money going to workers helps to insulate Republicans against a possible backlash, although the bonuses so far are a far cry from the $4,000 in additional income each year that White House economists claimed would go to an average American family because of the corporate rate cuts.
Yup and a $1000 dollar bonus is pretty small compared to the billions in tax savings these korporations will receive.

The Dumb Americans and The Bogus "I'm Gonna Help You" Tax Reform Scam:
My corporation hasn't issued any bonuses and most corporations WON'T BE ISSUING ANY GODDAMN BONUSES!
This bonus shit is just a 1-time temporary ploy to make ignorant or naieve people think that this tax reform won't hurt them. The poor on welfare don't pay taxes and the rich hire tax attorneys to find ways that they NEVER PAY TAXES. It throws crumbs at the middle class in the form of what can be consider a few "temporary dollars"
It's a diversion, it's temporary, and it serves their purposes. And remember...MOST corporations have not and will not be giving their workers any bonuses... unless those bonuses are going to the ones at the corporations already making 6 figures as history has repeatedly already shown
You do the math...if corporations have been avoiding paying taxes since FOREVER...what the hell makes you think that the BILLIONS that they have already been profiting from could have been going to fuel low wage employee bonuses years ago.
Like I said, the rich know that they can BAMBOOZLE just enough naive middle class folks into thinking that they've got your back.
History has shown it time and time again that the rich have gotten rich off of the backs of the poor and they are greedy and there is no trickle down. But then rich folks have already established that you aren't tracking history.
Corporate greed loves people like you....Naieve and unsuspecting. Throw them a bone and keep them believing and chasing their tails.
