Lord have mercy he must have sung like a BIRD !!!! he basically went from surely life imprisonment to maybe 5 years max. he'd better be under protective custody, wouldn't want him somehow drinking a cup full of polonium during his nightly meal.

Trump is probably going to have a stroke tonight.

yep. and if I'm not mistaken when Gates and Manafort first got indicted this was one of the original charges, and there was mention made in the court documents that there are other "unnamed co conspirators" related to that charge. Gates should be able to tell all about the reasons why the Trump campaign demanded that the GOP suddenly changed their stance on Ukraine during the Republican National Convention in 2016

they're all a bunch of traitors.

These revelations are like little goodies being dropped from an advent calendar but I really want Christmas to come.

I honestly think the slow drip is for the best despite how awful Trump is for the overall welfare of the nation. If this is as bad as I think it is, if it all came out at once it could cause chaos.

Fox News pushing propaganda doesn't help.

I know this forum is 98% Liberal but just so you get the other side of the lopsided coin. And you guys are all buying into the forced narrative of CNN, unbelievable. The Town Hall was an ambush by CNN, nothing less.

And FTR, I support the banning of all semi-automatic rifles. Strange how that works as an Alt-Right Racist huh?

- The family of Colton Haab, a student at the Florida high school where a gunman killed 17 people last week, provided a doctored email between Haab's father, Glenn Haab, and a CNN producer to media outlets.

- Colton told Fox News' Tucker Carlson on Thursday that a CNN producer rewrote a question for Haab to ask at the network's town hall-style event on Wednesday.

- President Donald Trump tweeted about the interview on Thursday night, calling CNN "fake news."

- CNN denies Haab's claims and said, "It is unfortunate that an effort to discredit CNN and the town hall with doctored emails has taken any attention away from the purpose of the event."

Lots of redactions but I understand if some things shouldn't be put to light yet considering there's an ongoing investigation. This does corroborate the fact that George Papadapolous' arrest and subsequent snitching set this entire thing off. Papadapolous is a traitor, but he did the right thing by telling everything to the FBI.



Now instead of spending decades in prison for worse crimes, he'll probably serve minimal time and get to live the rest of his life free as a convicted felon with his sexy Russian er Italian wife. There's worse fates ahead for a lot of Trump's co conspirators though...Mueller isn't cutting everyone a deal.





LOL. Well, this pretty much ends the whole "fake dossier set off the russia investigation" crap for good. The FBI was already up Carter Page's ass years ago and as I said before, certain people in Trump's orbit ended up getting caught on wiretaps talking to people they had no business talking to *cough*devin nunes*cough*.





well, this really blows up the "argument" about the DOJ/FISA courts and their liberal agenda, doesn't it? Maybe, just maybe, it doesn't matter if someone is a Dem or Repub, all that matters is upholding the law and dragging traitors to the country over a bed of rusty nails. And dragged they shall be



i wonder what's under all of that black sharpie ink? I hope Carter Page has a good lawyer if whatever is under there involves committing capital crimes. Espionage carries some stiff penalties, one of them being permanent.

man the rest of this stuff isn't a good look on Devin Nunes. Obstruction of justice or attempting to impede or muddy the waters of a federal investigation isn't really something to fool around with. That kind of stuff could end up getting him landed in prison for a few years....on top of whatever else he got caught doing when if he got unmasked on those wiretaps by Susan Rice

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/02/27/cnn-townhall-florida-school-shooting-emails/380064002/

The father of a Florida shooting survivor acknowledged Tuesday he omitted words in an email he sent media outlets accusing CNN of using scripted remarks at a town hall on guns and school safety.

Dozens of conservative websites called the network’s Feb. 21 town hall forum scripted after Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School junior Colton Haab skipped the event and said the network had told him what question to ask. The websites call it proof the forum was slanted against gun rights. President Donald Trump tweeted about it on Friday, saying “Just like so much of CNN, Fake News!”

CNN countered with a release of email exchanges between producer Carrie Stevenson, Colton Haab and his father Glenn and accused Glenn Haab of deliberately altering email sent to Fox News and the Huffington Post.

“It is unfortunate that an effort to discredit CNN and the town hall with doctored emails has taken any attention away from the purpose of the event,” the network said in a statement.


Glenn Haab told The Associated Press he omitted some words from the email but said he didn’t do it on purpose.

Those that continue to scream 'FAKE NEWS' are consistently being proven to be the ones who are telling all of the lies.

I feel sorry for the son, who was used by his awful father as a political prop for horrible human beings with no moral compass.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hope Hicks, one of U.S. President Donald Trump's longest-serving aides, is resigning from her job as White House communications director, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said on Wednesday.

Sanders told reporters the timeline for Hicks' departure was unclear. She said her departure was not related to her testimony to a congressional committee on Tuesday about an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. election.

She is expected to leave in the next few weeks.

Hicks, 29, was caught up in a controversy surrounding former White House staff secretary Rob Porter, whom she had been dating. She worked to defend him when charges of domestic abuse against his two former wives emerged. Porter was ultimately forced to resign.

She admitted yesterday to The House Committee that she routinely lies on behalf of Donald Trump.

She was interviewed by Mueller's team in December of last year. if she told her "little white lies" to Mueller's people, she is going to federal prison. at age 29, she has a lot to lose.

If her lawyers were smart, the moment she ends her employment at the white house she needs to make a beeline to Mueller's team's offices ASAP. proffer everything that she knows

so much winning.

Remember in regards to Hillary Clinton's e-mails how Trump supporters were worried who got their hands on classified information?
