Until Trump personally testifies under oath he can fuck right off with his demanding-of-others distraction tweets.

Don't know if this should go here or new thread.

Eric Swalwell of the House intel committee said he's seen classified evidence that the Trump team has colluded with Russia. Still a ways off though apparently.

I think they fixed that because I haven't been able to do it for about a month.

Well I expect Yates to say that she warned Pence, Trump and others.
Countering the story put forth by Pence saying he was lied to by flynn.

Seriously. They fucked up the cover up by not even trying to cover up in the beginning and just doing their shady business in the open. I'm sure Trump was used to getting away with everything no matter how corrupt, but now that it's coming back to actually bite him in the ass the WH is finally going full cover up and trying to silence everything and blame Flynn on Obama.
They've never outright called to cancel hearings so brazenly.

Her testimony is expected to contradict the White House line, if not several of their lines. Oh did I say lines? I meant lies.
If anything, I expect a lot of flak in the skies today to distract his base and shift the narrative.

If she had the smoking gun, it would have come out already. At best, she has some stuff that looks really bad, but isn't definitive.

I knew we'd see some hi-jinks as the time drew closer. lol.
People shouldn't get crazy excited, but Yates' testimony will probably strip away any plausible deniability that the White House had on the Flynn case.

i mean, someone help me out here.
whats the best case scenario here?
yates says she warned the whole team. all of them. trump, pence, etc.
then what? cant the GOP be like nope we dont care? cant the white house just say "NUUH"? Like what are people hoping comes from this?
you mean what hes done this whole presidency?

If they tried to get the hearing canceled, which would result in terrible fallout, they are afraid of worse fallout when she does testify.

Yates was supposed to testify in front of the House Commitee before secret agent Nunes cancelled the whole thing.
Watergate took a long time to fully percolate.
These are ongoing investigations, and the people in the right and in the know in this affair are not going to spill the beans outside of court or a secure location.

I doubt it, but she clearly has something to tell they don't want people to know. It may not be the hammer dropping, but it could be the start of the hand tightening its grip on the hammer.

This is testimony. She's not going to say "and I've got the email from Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin right here" and whip out a printed copy, and no one is expecting that. Her swearing before Congress that the White House is lying would be huge.
Mr. Giggles
Member
I'm not expecting much but hopefully it'll add a new kick in the pants to the over all investigation, its a slow burn but its not dying out
Yeah. The main thing here seems to be that the White House will be called out for lying and incompetence as well as possible malice.

I mean eventually you would hope that the GOP sees the sinking ship for what it is and tries to save themselves/distance themselves from the Trump administration. Unfortunately it seems they are all in it for the party over everything else. Either that or the whole lot is tied up in the corruption/collusion themselves. It just takes a few of them to start to flip and public sentiment from their own base to turn and I'm sure it will all landslide into something happening. Or, if things are as bad as they seem and the GOP does nothing, the 2018 elections will hopefully be enough of a bloodbath that the Dems will have the House to try to get something done.
This isn't a movie, not every case has a convenient smoking gun to reveal in the third act for maximum dramatic impact and narrative convenience.

If she has the smoking gun (and I hate how that term has come to mean conclusive evidence, when a literal smoking gun is circumstantial evidence) she likely won't be able to talk about it because of the FBI investigation.

Let me guess:
Republicans : "Did you leak the Flyn info!? Did you wire tape Trump tower!?"
Democrats : "Have you ever actually seen Putin use Donald Trump's mouth as a c**kholster? What was that like?"

While this might be true I don't consider that guy to be the most reputable source. Or at the very least he keeps tweeting out things like McConnell receiving funding by sources in Ukraine, that no one else seems to report.

Best case scenario is she provides receipts of Russian collusion and we see Trump led out of the WH in handcuffs on TV while a crowd of people chant "You're Fired!".
