Late-Night Russiagate Open Thread: Oh, What A Tangled Web We Weave!…
Dude. I mean, Sir. The FBI literally had a security briefing with you and your campaign, *advising* you that Russia was trying to infiltrate your campaign…at the SAME TIME that your campaign staff was in contact with Russia and trying to set up meetings with you and Putin. pic.twitter.com/JhlDCy4wU7

@realDonaldTrump You remember, Sir, the meeting in which FBI gave you those warnings and, knowing full well the nature and extent of the Russian contacts that were ongoing, you SAID NOTHING TO THE FBI ? You acted like they were telling you the time of day. Big mistake, Sir. Big.

Yep, Flynn was there. And he lashed out. We can guess which part set him off. https://t.co/2PDArX951t

Daily Caller “reporter”:
It was the same pro forma briefing given to Hillary team and occurred after Halper was already in action. https://t.co/S1QYsCNd0Z

“Why didn’t they warn Trump?” … they did. “OK, but why didn’t they warn him in a way that made him feel special?” https://t.co/tbFGYDEaAz

If there is any justice in this world, Matt Lauer will find himself waking up one morning being dragged behind a team of horses as they run through a desert trail.

“There’s no difference between an FBI informant and spy”
Informant, spy, snitch … all the same thing, right?
so the FBI warned them, and the Trumpies blew them off because they were already cahooting with the Russians so the FBI wasn’t telling them anything they didn’t already know. Then the GOP, who were/are already in the thick of this because they were using the Russian money and intel to run better campaigns that allowed them to capitalize on the racism and voter suppression that was already in play, is busy trying to bury this all as a Democrat plot and these people (the FBI) as un-American.
If there was any justice, these fuckers would already be under arrest.

They’d be in a tumbrel headed to the guillotine.
@Aleta
If we’re doin’ music, there’s an obvious choice.

Samwise aiming for imperious, and missing
@Corner Stone: That’s an insult to horses, dragging, and desert trails. All are too good to waste on scum like Lauer.
If every damn conspiracy Trumpov and comrades have dreamed up were all true, I’d consider those involved to be American patriots trying to save us from possible destruction. Statues should be built to honor them. Perhaps a world holiday to celebrate the fight against fascism.
Traitors ALL😠
Where is everybody?
Hi @rikyrah! Come sit with me… we can put the traitors down together. I’ll go back to bed now.
MA is having a post-Vandalia dinner party this evening at next door neighbor’s house, I’m going to make 3 flavors of deviled eggs, regular vinegar and mustard, with capers, curried with peppers, and horseradish with something interesting I’ll think of while asleep.
@J R in WV: still up?

Some of us sitting here watching the tumbleweeds pass by.

@J R in WV:
The response to that is strictly on a need-to-know basis. What level of clearance do you have? If it’s not Tippity-Top-Secret-est-Most-Secrety-and-Only-Shitgibbon-Has-It clearance, then you’re SOL.
Now that THAT is out of the way: I can’t wait to see all of those fucking traitors exiled to Somalia. Projection is working overtime for all of them.
It’s going to be a rainy day in DC, which means the asshole will have plenty of time to tweet.
@J R in WV: Minced shallots
Thread:
@germy: Trump’s unleash of ICE and Border Patrol is horrifying and lethal. The new line is that Obama did it to, but they don’t have numbers to back it up.
@Millard Filmore: When you’re used to working with the mob, it’s all the same thing.
What they real mystery to me in all this is why haven’t the Republicans declared Trump The Sun King and replaced the 4th of July with Trump inauguration calling it “TRUE Patriots white than white suck it Libertards Trump Independence Day”?
@JPL:
Everyone who did this work in immigration says that’s a Goddamn LIE.
This is entirely new policy.😠
@germy: I have a friend who worked for INS for years. She said that almost immediately upon the changes going into effect and becoming a branch of Homeland Security it became a complete shit show. She took early retirement because it was so awful.
@Gelfling 545: Good people leave.
@rikyrah: I miss Obama.
Trump is tweeting about the poor young folks who had to return home in tatters because of the fake witch hunt.

No mention of the inhumane treatment of babies snatched out of their parents arms.
@JPL:
You can’t raise a Pepe back up when he’s in defeat.
It’s displacement. Clinical displacement
Katon Dawson was on Morning Joy just now. Holy crap, he’s stupid. She asked him basically whether Republicans cared about theor country at all, or if everything was about loyalty to Trump and party. He then preceded to talk about how optimistic he is about beating Nancy Pelosi in November.
Imaginary paranoia. Yet another first for Dear Leader.
@Enhanced Voting Techniques:
My guess would be because his most devout supporters have the intelligence and imaginations of turnips.
I’m actually thinking that they would appoint Trump as head of the evangelical church and merge the presidency with that.
@Chyron HR: WIN!
