Kash Patel & John Solomon, authorized to access Trump's presidential records, want documents relating to the FBI's Russia investigation. What are they really after, and why?
It wasn’t just the end of the Fairness Doctrine but the move from the News Division(a loss leader)to the Entertainment Division by TV media execs. This is how FOX slid in the door, presenting itself as “Fair and Balanced” when it was nothing but screaming tabloid fodder with a smattering of what they called News.
The second, third and fourth columns are also very important. With all its imperfections, I think our system is pretty damn good. One man – one idiot like Donald Trump can try to change everything but will fail Billserle.com
Alison Gill (MuellerSheWrote) interviewed Lev Parnas for this morning’s Daily Beans podcast and it’s excellent! He gets into stuff that got left on the cutting room floor when they made “From Russia with Lev”. Check it out if you haven’t.
Apparently he also wrote a book in which he lays out the entire scheme in detail. I might pick it up after I get through the 10 books currently backlogged in my queue.
FBI should look in Bedminster or Dump Tower, perhaps even under the first tee with Ivana. If it's not there, check Patel's or Meadow's properties. And when it is found, charge the possessor with treason, send them to prison without bail until trial.
I bet the original is buried with Ivanna or nearby. This whole story could be another special by Rachel Maddow to show the depth and breath of the corruption in trump's time in the White House. Again rich oligarchs, anti democracy authoritarian leaders, mafia gophers, Russian agents and the cowardly spineless money driven republicans in this country. And not to mention Fox News and their ilk, that are soulless, on the take from trump and the republicans via Putin. It’s all ….I don’t have quite the word for it.
The Ivana thing is so weird. But I don't know why they would bury something they planned to document-dump. It's all so bizarre. But then, these people are WEIRD.
Maybe Mark Twain's comment about another cretin would apply to the chump crowd. Regarding William Andrews Clark of Santa Barbara, CA. "Clark, Twain wrote, "is as rotten a human being as can be found anywhere under the flag; he is a shame to the American nation, and no one has helped to send him to the Senate who did not know that his proper place was the penitentiary, with a ball and chain on his legs." Just substitute whatever name of any of these bastards, and substitute whatever applies instead of "Senate" and Twain's comment fits to a tee. The whole barrel is rotten to every last core.
As a citizen, given all of Trump's lifelong malfeasances, I feel as if I'm watching a movie with a script that doesn't make any sense — epitomized by the ad where the kids hide behind the running chainsaws instead of getting in the running car leading the Jason-like character to take off his mask to shake his head in disbelief—and yet am powerless to intervene, except to vote and hope enough of my fellow citizens will get in the running car and not hide behind the running chainsaws.
While dipshit 45 and I never met a couch I didn't like JD grab the slime-light there are many other vile sorts getting little or no attention. Thanks Greg for bringing Patel and Solomon back to the fore. Meadows most likely committed some serious offenses but never do we hear anything about him, it is as if he vanished. From Russia with Lev is a damning indictment of Hannity, in cahoots with Solomon on the Ukraine/Ivanovich criminality. I am so sick of hearing about the dipshit 45 orbit, sicker because there is no accountability while the reporting of crimes grows larger by the week.
Thanks, Old Man. I like to think Meadows is cooperating and that's why we haven't heard from him, but he seems so inept. I stand with my take that Cassidy Hutchinson was secretly running the entire country for the last few months of Trump's presidency.
I so think that too and my gawwd, is she not a capable young woman or what? Let’s not forget that is was Cassidy who said that Meadows wife said his suits “smelled like smoke”. That SOB was burning documents!!
Sigh.
Ha! Perfect. The email exchanges ARE kind of funny...
That's my take for sure.
Governing is complicated. Thank God for the fifth column.
I had to find the fifth column as dedicated civil servants, who doggedly perform their duties in accordance with the law and resist unlawful orders.
Hi. Appreciate your comment. How do you know this. Personal observations? Inside info?
Don't disparage mental illness by labeling them as such. They are pure evil, and brandish cruelty with fervor.
You nailed it, I so agree with your description of greed as a contagious mental illness in this context.
Wow.

The institutions held on for one Trump term. They will not endure a second one.,
I bet they have the original copy but want official copies from the Archives in order to avoid prosecution for using it.
The damage to our National Security is already done. Sources and methods are completely compromised
Yes, because a LOT of traitors have already seen the binder materials.
I hadn't even thought of that! Good take.

Thanks. Will do. Can’t recommend FROM RUSSIA WITH LEV enough so can’t imagine what got left on the cutting room floor.

I am about at 10 also!! Hard to get to them all when I am on social media and reading everybody like Greg, on Substack!
Thanks. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet...saw the first few minutes last night and can't wait to finish it!
Trapper Keepers! Love that reference as the mom of three boys who grew up in the 70s and 80s!
It's, like, totally tubular! ; )
😆

I'm not sure why they would hide what they want out in the open. It's all very strange.
When this national nightmare is finally over and history looks back on what really happened, I think you’ll have written a good bit of it.
Thanks for saying so, Earl. Much appreciated.

Starts with an "F"...

It’s TUESDAY🎉

Excellent quote, JD. Twain nails it as usual.
Very good, Greg. Very, very good.
Thanks, Lynell!

Excellent analogy. I actually really like that commercial. Especially as Trump is sort of the serial killer in it.

Perhaps a most valid assumption
