Quin Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 09:50 PM) Came here to post that nyt article, also this House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said Tuesday that those who leaked the contents of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s phone calls “belong in jail.” “That’s nine leakers that all belong in jail,” Nunes said. “Those nine people broke the law, clearly, by leaking classified information to anybody. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&T Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 05:38 PM) NYT has updated its story about how the FBI had interviewed Flynn in the first few days, to now say those investigators do not believe he was "entirely forthcoming" https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/us/po...t.co/mHDa9igK6v While this is interesting, I'm not sure what this democracy looks like with this FBI that leaks out all details of ongoing investigations. I think there are agents in the FBI looking for Comey's head. It's possibly there's evidence Comey actively aided Trump. Of course it could just be that someone wants his job. I would add that this might be what it looks like when a president attempts to undermine American democracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple senators and a rep or two are calling for full investigations, chaffetz is dismissing some things but sending letters on others, and some GOP members are shilling as hard as possible, trying to blame the leakers rather than the core problem or openly wondering why they'd ever investigate their own party.

Dick Allen Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Amazing Republicans have no use for "leakers". Didn't Supreme Ruler Trump praise Wikileaks 3 months ago? And if they are this upset about leaks, aren't they acknowledging the information is true and not "fake news"?

No one. Didn't he say they all voted for him as well? I don't think Trump is a traitor. I think he is clueless. He actually did in broad daylight ask the Russians to hack into Hillary's emails. But it is odd he gets into an argument with Austrailia of all countries and has nothing bad to say about Russia.

bmags Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 What we're seeing is fairly predictable in what happens when you go from campaigning to governing and people don't have the other candidate to try and balance out their coverage. But that said, this is all moving a lot faster than I thought. I did think he'd have a grace period, and I did think he'd buy press with a bunch of Carrier type deals. But, that really does just seem to be a fluke done by the fact that Pence was governor. Trump went his whole life thinking merely being the center of attention would provide power and people would have to pay attention and respect him if he's President. Now he's President and realizing that it's an actual job that gains respect by recipricating, and showing a seriousness of the position. Going to be a long, long few years.

Speaking of fake news, 20th Century Fox Used Fake News to Publicize ‘A Cure for Wellness’ Making the most of the fractured political and media landscape, 20th Century Fox created a group of fake news sites as part of a viral marketing campaign for its new film “A Cure for Wellness.” The sites displayed ads for the movie and slipped references to its plot alongside made-up stories about divisive topics like abortion, vaccines and President Trump. Fox used at least five fake news sites designed to look like local news media — The Sacramento Dispatch, Salt Lake City Guardian, Houston Leader, NY Morning Post and Indianapolis Gazette — to stir online outrage and drum up interest in the movie, which was produced by New Regency Productions and is to come out this week. It used other fake sites to promote the film as well, including one designed to resemble HealthCare.Gov and another for a fake bottled water company. Regency Enterprises and 20th Century Fox acknowledged their role in the fake news operation in a statement on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddy Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 This is a bridge too far for me. Is anyone here striking on Friday? If not, I'd consider it. We're at the point where we can't just make calls and sign petitions. We need to take real action - big action. We need thousands engaging in sit ins (outs) outside the White House. We need GOP congressmen berated every time they walk outside. We need to divest our money from the big banks. We need to speak with our wallets. We need to do everything in our power to save this country. I mean, there's a f***ing Russian warship 30 miles from Connecticut. So I would personally appreciate if any of you would join the Strike on Friday, but if that's not plausible, at least share this event. These truly are desperate times, and we all need to get involved. #F17Strike Event Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
