God willing, this may all be over a lot sooner than we all expected. Not betting on it, but as they say, Inshallah.

FBI officials have also defended the outsourcing of the work of determining who was behind the DNC hack/leak to the DNC hired Crowdstrike company even though there work in this area has previously been debunked

Garbage

Of course you try to derail the thread with Breitbart.  Go off someplace else with that nonsense.

If proven, will even this be enough? (I certainly hope it will, but he's like a B-movie villain.)

While I certainly would like to see Trump resign or face impeachment (which, at this point, is nowhere near certain), it does raise a few important issues.

1. Will Trump, the man who has never apologized nor admitted guilt for anything, willingly leave office peacefully?
2. Who would replace Trump or, would Pence be implicated as well?
3. If Pence is also implicated, that means Ryan would assume the office of the President. We're doomed.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. The report is still from unnamed sources rather than an official spokesman, and even if they are substantiated, it's possible someone lower on the totem pole could take the fall if Trump was not himself involved. Still, this is a big deal if true.

FAKE NEWS. ALEX JONES TOLD ME

Also: Preet Bharara needs to be Special Prosecutor/Special Counsel (I believe there's been a change in the law that removes the provision for the appointment of Special Prosecutors but still).

[Green Line]

I don't care if it is true or not.  He needs to go.

[ApatheticAustrian]

do you know what the strange thing is:

EVERYONE knows about this, since the trump campaign BRAGGED about those contacts and it is exactly the kind of relationship the critical viewer would expect.

trump is not on the payroll of putin, he is just taking every straw which would help him winning - OOORRRR...also possible....he surrounds himself with people who aren't disgusted about this, like mister stone.

The credibility of Crowdstrike, the group hired by the DNC themselves, is at the center of this entire story because the entire narrative is based on the assumption that they are a credible source. Comey himself has said that the FBI never examined the DNC servers, they just trusted Crowdstrike because they were a "well respected private company". Why would Comey not get the FBI to examine their servers themselves, why just trust a third party hired by the DNC?

And if you don't like Breitbart then good news for you Stranahan has just quit Breitbart so you don't have to read Breitbart to follow this story.

Here's a couple of interesting Periscopes he's done on this story on his own Periscope channel recently for those who are interested

So this article specifically mentions "release" of information. Didn't we already know that? Stone's DMs with Guccifer2 or back channel to Assange?

This definitely looks bad, but it seems like there isn't yet conclusive evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives, just information that could potentially lead to said evidence, so it's still a bit soon to talk about impeachment.

[Technocracy Timmy]

Never forget.

Thus far, this story reminds me a lot of the golden shower fiasco in that unnamed sources leak some "information" and everyone runs wild with it. Until we have some confirmation, this is meaningless speculation.

[ApatheticAustrian]

forget impeachment.

not going to happen.

but...trump's team/campaign/political credibility would take an enormous hit, which would hurt in 2018, combined with a reaaaaally unpopular reform agenda.

the whole "MUH RUSSIA"-crowd would be forced to shut up for years and realize the reality that they got played.

to be fair, the dossier surrounding the golden shower thingie was done by a most credible agent who said himself that this whole thing is as complicated as hell and hard to prove.

parts of the media killed it through making it a yellow-press story.

[Green Line]

The Golden shower happened and is absolutely true.  It was killed by the media because it wasn't the kind of story they wanted to air on their tv's.

Let's just hope the tape gets released soon.

Did I miss something? I see no reasons to believe it yet

It depends who it is, if it's more Carter Page or Roger Stone, then it is still bad but they were fired like two years ago.
