The writers wouldn't be that easy on us today.

if that would have been the story, wittes wouldn't still be hyping



You know, a witch hunt is not the worst thing in the world if your country is haunted by an evil witch.

"What did Wittes know and when did he know it?"

[The Other Castro]

At this point...there has to be some Mark Felt-like leaker in the FBI or administration.

My guess is it's someone like Mike Pence's deputy chief of staff or someone like that.

since pence is always stating he knows nothing and is innocent, maybe it's pence himself....

I actually made this joke to a friend earlier today. What if Pence is secretly orchestrating this entire dumpster fire, just so he can become the president? It's a funny thought, at least.

I don't like Putin, but I also don't like the Democrats yelling Russia to deflect from the Wikileaks emails rather than talking about issues that affect ordinary people, stop taking the corrupt fat cat money, and stop being so hawkish.

This is either a poor use of grammar or a poorly structured sentence.

[publicunofficial]

I believe me and Jfern also believe that if Trump goes down because of Russia, the next presidential election will be entirely about how we need to take a more confrontational stance against Putin, which likely means getting more involved in Syria and Eastern Europe. Which NOTHING GOOD WILL COME FROM.

Also "RUSSIA!" has been used to shout down any critiques of the way the Democratic Party, and the Clinton campaign, handled itself throughout the 2016 campaign.

First off it's not "democrats" like some ranted on here dems aren't somehow manipulating time an space to habe Trump an his team have an do these shady contacts with the Russians. An on top of that this story does effect "ordinary Americans" because this has huge implications on Trump an future presidents executive powers

But democrats have been doing the opposite. Perez did a tour with Bernie, Quist is being sent help, they are starting a "50 state strategy", an rural areas like WV an Kansas are getting strong 2018 recruits
