Nobody "knows" anything. An investigation is ongoing. Reading is fundamental: "Tony Podesta is the chairman of the Podesta Group and the brother of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign chairman. John Podesta is not currently affiliated with the Podesta Group and is not part of Mueller's investigation."
Wow, breaking news for half a year ago. It was reported that the GOP (rumored to be Jeb Bush) paid for research on Trump during the primaries. Once Trump won that, the Republican(s) quit the funding and it was then picked up by the DNC. Once the general election was over, the FBI continued to pay for the research because they were alarmed at how many ties Trump had with Russia.
The FBI has confirmed some of the information so far in that dossier by the way.
As for the Uranium "scandal" this is an old canard, rolled out by the GOP (party over country) to act as a smoke screen. It's no coincidence that Tucker Carlson is running with this every night. Nothing is going to happen with it. Just like all the other shit they make up.

A speech today against Trump, by Jeff Flake. I don't remember this happening before. Corker explained he was only saying what all other (republicans) discuss in private. Maybe more will come forward who aren't actually retiring? This is a promising start though and a pretty big deal IMO.

Anyway, the whole GOP is the party of the military went out the window when the rooted on emphatically a Manhattenite billionaire trust fund elite who received 4 deferments for bone spurts stated 'John McCain isn't a hero because he was caught'.
Right.
The GOP sells themselves as the hyper-masculine, flag waiving, patriot party. The simple act of kneeling during a football game is an outrage to our flag, our country and to the troops who defend it. Yet families of fallen soldiers are now "fair game", with very few Republicans calling this repugnant.
The same can be said for their claims of morality and fiscal responsibility. Not that they ever had a lock on these ideas, or actually practiced them in real life, but they hardly have a leg to stand on anymore.

She chose to enter the political foray when she opted to side with the fake cowboy.
So just to be clear, you're fine with Trump and his group of Twitter freaks going after this grieving widow. I think that's all we need to know about you.

Let's beat up on a grieving widow..."support the troops, honor the flag"...my ass.
Trump never attacked her.

Yes, Myeshia Johnson has a right to speak. But now that she's gotten political, we have a right to attack her. https://t.co/ZWJfhKJG0Y

Good Lord. I just read that a general was begging for help and that only 30-40% of the missions actually had intelligence helping them.
I hope the Republicans can get some investigations going and get to the bottom of this. /s

One things clear, one party has no problem rolling out the parents of dead soldiers to score political points. I’d be ashamed to affiliate with such people. But cheerleaders be cheerleading.
Yea, you always take the high road. Good grief, spare me.

I'm thinking of her NPR interview and how she's not fading away, she's reacting on twitter in real time. I almost think she's sticking around d, keeping her face out there just at the possibility. If Muller finds anything that could have swayed or influenced the election there will be a push for her to challenge. Would he resign? I'm finding that highly unlikely now.
It would be the craziest thing politically I've seen in my life, second to this fiasco.

I think it's quite possible that if Muller finds something significant enough Hillary challenges election result. Which would be awesome as she could eliminate all extremists from both sides with simultaneous head explosions.
I find that highly unlikely unfortunately. What makes you think this ? Although I agree that she should. Pence should aboslutely not be next in line if there was some sort of election fuckery.
So now it turns out Kelly lied about the speech Wilson made at that FBI building (apparently she praised the agents/law enforcement extensively, it's on video.) First the WH said a General should not be questioned, and now they're saying Kelly heard most of Wilson's comments "off stage."
