Justice Department appoints special prosecutor for Trump/Russia

Mike! said:
This thought just popped into my head. Has anyone looked into any efforts, on the part of the Russians, to place their thumb on the scale of the past few U.S. presidential elections, or are all resources being spent solely on the most recent one?

All the other elections had the "right" outcome so no one cares.

Really? You think Eisenhower through to Obama were the 'right outcomes'? Now it wouldn't surprise me one bit that other nations have tried to influence American elections. I think that can be expected. But this clearly is different in both scope and effect.

I think it's worthy of note that Trump has never been resistant to attacking almost everyone including our allies, yet he has been almost obsequious in his attitude towards one of the least democratic, most corrupt nations on the planet. It makes you wonder why. It's not like American citizens have been clamoring for rapprochement with Russia.

These pathetic toadies don't even try at plausibility.
 
And Newt is not very bright. Encouraging Trump's paranoia is the WORST thing you could do now.

I dunno. I'm willing to give Newt enough credit for intelligence (if not honor or decency) that it's remotely possible he's trying to do exactly that.

Newt has proven himself for years now to be making a living off this kind of publicity, be it to garner donations he uses to pay his own company or book sales.

True, which would give him even more incentive to gaslight the beast; this nonsense will sell a lot of books for a long time. In any case, I offered it up as a remote possibility, no more than that. :)
 
And maybe Newt,who has interesting enough always left a door opened for him to abandon Trump ,thinks that Trump self destructing would create total chaos in the GOP and allow him to emerge as come kind of kingmaker.

I'm sure that he, among other former GOP stars, has probably more than once had the thought that if the beast does go away he could be in line for a cabinet position once the office changes hands and the current crew is almost immediately and rightly fired.

Or he's going to be flogging a book about Trump soon and having subject going down in flames shortly after publishing wouldn't be a good outcome.

Trump confirms he's under investigation.

Don't you have anything better to do than complain on Twitter all morning? Go do something useful.

Indeed.

I'd rather he spend as much time on Twitter as he can.

Maybe all of it, if possible.

Every time he tries to do anything useful he screws up something that might be important.

And the more he tweeters the deeper he digs.

Keeping him on Twitter is a win/win for the country all the way around.

Here's a hypothetical question.

If someone could extract all of the integrity exhibited by the entire GOP contingent in both chambers of Congress this year, could God make a container small enough to store it without it being lost in the emptiness?
