I hear there are lawyers out there who are willing to draw down $130,000 on their HELOC and pay it out for clients without being reimbursed, so if he has found one of those he's in good shape.Maybe he has a really good public defender or perhaps a lawyer with a big heart?
If you are against Trump, Hannity will label you a liberal.You say that like it's a bad thing.
And I'm not even Liberal*
*but I hear everyone is - to SOME degree. It's a sliding scale or something
How about nap-time??Congress doesn’t do recess anymore. At least not long enough for a recess appointment.
FYPIf you are against Trump, intellectual dishonest internet trolls will label you a liberal.
meaningless....have to hit the oligarchs.Correct me if aim wrong, but sanctioning a couple dozen individuals does not equal imposing the economic sanctions voted on nearly unanimously by the Senate. This is yet another win for Putin disguised as a consequence.
you would think...we'll see what happens. I expect crickets from this PresidentAlthough just broke on my Wapo push notifications that “Trump Administation” accuses Russia of sustained attacks on the power grid. That’s a serious charge that will be hard not to punish. Interesting developments.
The only way Trump would be upset about this is if US Electrical Grid was the name of his latest goomahCorrection: AP, not Wapo. “Trump Administration accuses Russia of ongoing, deliberate operation to penetrate US electrical grid.”

or address the real threat...immigration and the wall...he's got some important wall design choices to choose from....can't address too many things at a time. I think they should do some further investigation, dot the i's cross the t's as we don't want to jump to any conclusions against our good friends the Russians.Seems like it's long overdue for a POTUS who cares about this country to instruct all agencies to immediately do everything they can to protect the country against cyber attacks and other forms of cyber warfare from Russia and other countries.
Set up a system, break down walls barring communication between agencies, do something to help the country.

At some point, obeying the President (and abiding by the technical word of law) may become treason itself - and we've quite possibly already got that point.Scenario 1: By next week we’ll see that not only is Trump not doing this, but that he’s walking back what’s been done. Wondering if it turns out that some in the administration are acting without his authority, which may prove uncomfortable. I’m guessing we’ll see some indications of this.
Scenario 2: Or maybe Trump will pour the hundreds of millions unspent but earmarked for fighting election interference into the power grid, leaving the elections systems vulnerable.
I simply don’t buy that the Traitor in Chief has turned on Russia, nor will he. He will always serve Putin. Net/net he will always enable Putin.
Who's gonna tell Don?Trump imposes sanctions on Russia for election meddling says they were behind poisoning in GB....Well we can probably stop #####ing about that..
Man, Thai jails have sex coaches? U.S. jails suck.
Koya and Ham - going of the rails.At some point, obeying the President (and abiding by the technical word of law) may become treason itself - and we've quite possibly already got that point.
Seriously, how stupid do they think we are?Matthias said:So 13 people which we would have arrested if they ever stepped foot in the United States are prohibited from ever entering the United States.
Take That, Russia!!!
When the rails represent treason, what else is a true patriot and lover of freedom and all that which our nation once stood for, to do?Koya and Ham - going of the rails.
Well I think Kate Beckinsale and Claire Danes are in there too, so yeah sounds nice.Man, Thai jails have sex coaches? U.S. jails suck.

^ Good advice here, folks, don't buy the hype.I’ve seen some true displays of naivety here, it being littered with Trump supporters. So feel obliged to add a disclaimer that if you strive to find yourself in a Thai jail, there is a non-zero chance you won’t be surrounded by beautiful women who want to sex you. You may just be in a dingy jail surrounded by grimy dudes and in poor conditions.
Beware of anyone who tries to sell you otherwise. “There are some beautiful women in these Thai prisons, believe me.”
Oh how low the bar is for Trump supporters.Ditka Butkus said:

He doesn't really follow any of this closely, so it's doubtful.Regardless of how it came to pass, whether merely product of one man’s rigid ego or due to threat of blackmail, Trump has served Vladimir Putin’s interests consistently since the announcement of his candidacy. And in light of the world community agreeing that Russia is attacking it on several fronts, Trump remains non-critical and the actions of the administration are weak on the issue and sanctions. So let’s focus on that and not the boundaries of what becomes traitorous or treason.
Do you disagree with the fact that Trump has served Putin’s interests to date?
Oh how low the bar is for Trump supporters.
I like to have some gabagool when I'm done.Thank you for the vocabulary enhancement. I hope I retain the word for future use.
Rosenstein? Why not Sessions? Rosenstein goes out to block on these things and the GOP wall just knocks him down. Best wishes and many thanks to RR and McCabe, fingers crossed.Righetti said:Andy McCabe now meeting with Rod Rosenstein, making the case why shouldn't be fired from the FBI before his retirement, per @PamelaBrownCNN
I'm going to keep the faith with the inspectors general of the world. I believe in the institution or the concept. But it's OPB that levied the penalty IIRC from the NYT report, I wonder who is running that these days.So, let's follow the bouncing ball:
1. Trump publicly proclaims that McCabe needs to be investigated because McCabe is anti-Trump.
2. DOJ inspector general, under public pressure from Trump, launches investigation; the best they can come up with is that McCabe was "not forthcoming" (but they never specify what McCabe wasn't forthcoming about).
3. FBI uses inspector general report to recommend that McCabe is fired.
If McCabe is fired, we're going to need another special prosecutor to investigate how much Trump meddled in McCabe's firing, and whether it was all legal or not.

This is like when you threaten to take TV away from your kids for a month and three days into it you take them to the movies and let them play on the iPadSo is this the full implementation of the sanctions previously approved? Or is this something less and just sanctions on those identified by Mueller. It is interesting though; as sanctioning those indicted by Mueller shows Trump admin tacitly approving of the investigation of the special counsel.
In the subpoena, delivered in recent weeks, Mr. Mueller ordered the Trump Organization to hand over all documents related to Russia and other topics he is investigating, the people said.
Seems mueller knows his time is running up and is going to go down for the kill
