Agreed. Sometimes I get the feeling people don't actually read the OP and just post Hillary or emails or something just because. That's not the way to go about this.

You keep doing this in different threads. I honestly don't know what your angle is here.

This continues to get more and more screwed up.

Certainly more evidence than would be required to give credence to "aliens are visiting us" stories you've espoused so many times before.

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
Oh snap!

The senators are way more vulnerable to losing an election because of Trump fuckery than most House Rs.

I love GAF.
I am curious as to the "don't destroy records comment" does the FBI have records to compare if things do get destroyed?

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Maybe if trump was painted green instead of orange...
I guess we'll see. They have to be aware, even if not in public, of the outcry that's been taking place since Trump has been in office. Especially at their town halls.

Russian sanctions will be lifted, just a matter of time now, doesn't matter who has the position

That would probably be the case. Why else announce this so publically? It is much easier to get them on the cover up to get the ball rolling. They probably are moving into the final phases of the investigation.

Time to put some people on double secret probation.

It would make no sense to announce this if they didn't have copies made. I think the IC has enough to start pressing the administration a lot tougher now.

Can the GOP just impeach Trump already?
That's why you don't announce stuff in the open. All the bad hombres are entering the country now if you tell them that they will be shut off next week.
So all the documents are acid washed now, because someone told them that they are important. Stupid, stupid justice system.
Every thread you'll get multiple posts that all of this is nothing and nothing at all will come of it and Trump and co will get exactly what they want.

Which is funny because they've been holding Ls a lot lately what with the ban getting tossed and Flynn getting tossed
You're all over the place dude.
This is a devastating leak if true.
But nothing will happen immediately I presume, which I still find amazing after everything that has been uncovered to date.
This is looking more and more like the next Watergate each day.
This future HBO TV mini-series will win all the awards.

I am actually impressed with the amount of leaks coming out. I am also impressed with the pushback from the media so far as I have felt that they kinda gave Trump softballs through the primary season.
That sir is what we call serious shade.

I think the media had too much faith in Americans, so they went after the ratings.
Hopefully lesson learned.

While illegal, it's not treason. It's hovering the line, but still not treason.

I get that. But look at the glorious mess we all created.

Just another piece of evidence indicating that Trump's inner circle is working for Russia either for personal gain, as a result of blackmail, or a combination of both.
I don't think it's that clear cut. Intentionally undermining the foreign policy of a sitting president through such means sort of seems like treason.

I'm still waiting for the EU to completely shred this administration publicly. The ban caused some unfriendly reactions already, but the lifting of Russian sanctions without proper reason would cross the line I'd imagine.
This probably isn't, undermining foreign governments is nothing new. Them doing it under Trump's nose probably is? Executive has final say on policy, no?

Yes but it was done by an incoming administration. I am not arguing with the point I just see the murkiness that is going to come up around this mess.

Well, Flynn was fired -- I don't see the illegality of any actions -- but he certainly didn't seem to have the trust of anyone in the administration. More like he was not doing his job of informing the President.
This is the concern Rand Paul has with the idea of John Bolton as NSA.
Well its a giant red flag because there is no reason to lift Russia sanctions, in fact there needs to be added ones because of the hacking with the election. One crazy conspiracy theory i have is maybe Trump thinks he is preventing war by working with Russia to release the sanctions. Like maybe Russia right now has 2 options, one being have Trump do something to save them (cause they running out of money and time) or the other being involve themselves where they have to forcefully take things like a war.

So what could happen now? Are they going sweep this under the rug?
"Incoming" meaning this man was a private citizen at the time of negotiations. "Almost" doesn't count here.
We failed Ukraine long before Trump took office.
I want to believe not much is being swept under the rug and that the slowness is owned to so much infighting between those who want to keep power.
I don't think anything we're experiencing now is effected in any way by "slowness." All of this is happening incredibly fast. Things like this normally take many months or even years.

You can argue that the sanctions have been put in place in the interest of US national security, so this could definitely be considered treason.
Yup, people need to be reminded again and again how fucking stupid they were being. Otherwise, they'll make the same mistake as they did in 2016.
Well yeah, that's why I said failed instead of failing or will fail.
Although it is now compounded.
