It certainly looks like Putin, with the help of Manifort and Trump, stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton but, more importantly, from the 65.8 million people who voted against the Thief in Chief, Donald Trump, who, btw, won just 62.9 million votes despite Putin’s efforts. https://t.co/Af1PnVJhQO

In bed with Deripaska
I wrote about McGonigal last year, when the news of an investigation first broke. I also pointed out he was likely suspect in the NYC FBI leaks targeting Hillary Clinton. Now that we know he was taking money from Russians while he was still working for the FBI, seems even more likely!

Weird. McGonigal got put in charge of CI at the NYC field office like almost to the day they reopened the Clinton emails case. ironies. https://t.co/EWVzjZDoxy via @TPM

Jesus
He feared Hillary Clinton would beat Donald Trump. So he stole 13 lbs of C4 explosives from Camp Lejeune in case "the world does start coming to an end or anything crazy…I could protect me and my family.” AP finds that's not all that's missing. https://t.co/oVRtnavLeN @digby56

New York Times, you never fail to disappoint! By the way, this is exactly what they did with Watergate:
Jim Comey should have followed the rules
Instead of treating Hillary Clinton more harshly because he thought she’d win.
And Spanky’s really going off the deep end over Comey’s book:
Unbelievably, James Comey states that Polls, where Crooked Hillary was leading, were a factor in the handling (stupidly) of the Clinton Email probe. In other words, he was making decisions based on the fact that he thought she was going to win, and he wanted a job. Slimeball!

The big questions in Comey’s badly reviewed book aren’t answered like, how come he gave up Classified Information (jail), why did he lie to Congress (jail), why did the DNC refuse to give Server to the FBI (why didn’t they TAKE it), why the phony memos, McCabe’s $700,000 & more?

Comey throws AG Lynch “under the bus!” Why can’t we all find out what happened on the tarmac in the back of the plane with Wild Bill and Lynch? Was she promised a Supreme Court seat, or AG, in order to lay off Hillary. No golf and grandkids talk (give us all a break)!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 15, 2018
I never asked Comey for Personal Loyalty. I hardly even knew this guy. Just another of his many lies. His “memos” are self serving and FAKE!

Etc.
FBI’s delay on Clinton emails not nefarious
Media reports this week have focused fresh attention on how the Federal Bureau of Investigation managed the dramatic discovery — five weeks before the 2016 presidential election — of what seemed to be a fresh trove of Hillary Clinton emails and the delay in investigating them that ensued.

Reports: FBI investigating Clinton Foundation
Remember when I said that Hillary Clinton was doing speeches to sock away money for whatever lawsuits the right wing threw at her?
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is probing the foundation of former president Bill Clinton amid pressure from President Donald Trump and allegations of corruption by Republican lawmakers, US media reported Friday. Continue reading “Reports: FBI investigating Clinton Foundation”
This is bad
Jeff Sessions is considering appointing a new special counsel to probe things President Trump said he wants investigated about Hillary Clinton and James Comey.
The main focus of Sessions decision appears to be the “uranium one” conspiracy theory which has been an increasing focus of President Trump’s and which he has demanded the Justice Department investigate.
The story was first reported by the Post and then a short time later by the Times. It’s notable to see how each news organization has grappled with what seems to be the transparently political nature of what Sessions is doing. The Post, at least in its original version of the story, all but ignored it. The only mention is a final sentence that reads: “Sessions’s letter is likely to be seen by some, especially on the left, as an inappropriate bending to political pressure.”
RERUN: The same right wing hackery pushed by Russian bots now repeated by Trump
I wrote this back in April, but it’s one of those zombie “Clinton attack” stories that just won’t die. Now it’s Trump trying to push it.
It is the job of oppo-researchers and ratf*ckers to exhaust the country’s patience through the techniques of scandalization. It is the job of the other candidates to try and take advantage of that. It is not the job of journalism to play along, or to despair of the effects on “us” of their own creations. –… Continue reading “RERUN: The same right wing hackery pushed by Russian bots now repeated by Trump”

The numbers speak for themselves: 12% of Bernie supporters did vote for Trump.
