Perhaps I should explain that I regard Hitler's transition from chancellor of a fairly-democratic constitutional republic, to absolute dictator, as a coup.

'Russia investigators likely got access to NRA's tax filings, secret donors'

$30 million to help Trump, I wonder how much was funneled to the Freedumb Cockups in the House and Senate? I'd love to see the lot of them paraded down to the Navy Yard in orange jumpsuits.

Trump: Russia didn’t interfere in the election. GOP-led Senate panel: Yeah, it did.

Of course Putin helped Donny get elected. Whell and his fellow Trump zombies are shown, once again, to be idiots, by the leadership of their own party.

I had forgotten all about this from 2010 until it was referenced in an article I read just now.

Microsoft turns over all Win7 and server source code to Russia's new KGB

What do you think? Do you think giving the Russian secret service access to Windows source puts America at a severe security disadvantage?

"Special counsel Robert Mueller is asking a federal court in Virginia for 100 blank subpoenas in the case against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

The request was made in a filing on Wednesday. The subpoenas would require their recipients to testify in the U.S. District Court in Alexandria on July 25, when Manafort's trial in Virginia is set to begin.

No further information was provided in the filing, and a spokesman for the special counsel did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment.

The request comes roughly a month after Mueller filed a request for 150 blank subpoenas." The Hill

Took a nap after the game and woke up to this ^^^

Looks like ol' Bob Mueller ain't screwin' around with Pauly Manafort. It's going to be a long hot summer for the 'Trump Nation' groupies. I suggest they lay in substantial quantities of that foul concoction better known as Trump-Ade, they're going to need it.

WASHINGTON — The White House has rebuffed concerns among American intelligence and law enforcement officials and ordered that more lawmakers be given access to classified information about an informant the F.B.I. used in 2016 to investigate possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, according to two American officials with knowledge of the decision.

Both the director of national intelligence and the director of the F.B.I. tried to keep the classified documents tightly restricted, fearing that a broader dissemination of operational reports and other sensitive material could lead to more leaks of detailed information about the role of the confidential F.B.I. informant.

The Financial Times has been investigating the money behind Trump Toronto for 10 months. Legal documents, signed statements and two dozen interviews with people with knowledge of the project and the money that flowed through it reveal that the venture connects the US president with a shadowy post-Soviet world where politics and personal enrichment merge.

Some of the money flows that the Financial Times has established raise questions about Trump’s vulnerability to undue influence now that he is in the White House. These include evidence that Trump’s billionaire partner in the Toronto project authorized a secret $100m payment to a Moscow-based fixer representing Kremlin-backed investors. That payment was part of a series of transactions that generated millions for the backers of the Toronto venture—a project that, in turn, made millions for the future president.

Mueller indicts another dozen Russian spies, just as Donny meets with Pootin. Any other president would be held accountable for lying to the American public about Russian interference. Donny’s cult followers, like Whell, refuse to believe the facts, but will believe any and all of Donny’s lies.
