He should go down too. He's part of the false administration.

former Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich said the intelligence community was responsible for leaking information that Trump’s national security advisor, Mike Flynn, had secretly discussed sanctions with Russian officials before the inauguration and argued their goal was to spoil the relationship between the U.S. and Russia.

“What’s at the core of this is an effort by some in the intelligence community to upend any positive relationship between the U.S. and Russia,” Kucinich said.

And in his opinion, there is a big money motive behind it.

“And I tell you there's a marching band and Chowder Society out there. There's gold in them there hills,” he said. “There are people trying to separate the U.S. and Russia so that this military industrial intel axis can cash in.”

Kucinich added the intelligence community could start a war to succeed.

“There’s a game going on inside the intelligence community where there are those who want to separate the U.S. from Russia in a way that would reignite the Cold War,” he said.
but think of all the money we'll make in a new Cold War

This might also be the biggest political hit in the history of our country. If the IC and FBI has known this stuff for over a year, why wait until now other than to inflict maximum damage? Wouldnt the previous admin have been briefed on this when he was nominated by the RNC? We are seeing what is essentially a coup by unelected officials, let's not pretend this is all well and good because it removes a scumbag from the White House.

It was certainly interesting seeing WikiLeaks arguing against, well, leaks yesterday. It's also been interesting to see how the notion of the 'Deep State' as an evil entity as started manifesting itself in the right wing in general, transcending the InfoWars crowd. That kind of idea used to really only belong to the left.

It looks like when you can't attack these sources as unreliable the only thing left is to fall back onto a hysterical argument that the united states is a police state controlled by the CIA, NSA, and the FBI.

I'm looking forward to seeing the next tier of this argument.

Inskeep was interviewing Mike Johnson R-Louisana this morning and the #1 priority for senate republicans is the leaks. We've got to get these leaks stopped. Inskeep point blank asked him if Rand Paul was putting party over country and his answer was flat no.
I hope all these fuckers go down with Second Coming Trump.

Wease, the fake news media is going crazy with their conspiracy theories and blind hatred. MSNBC & CNN are unwatchable. Fox and Friends is great!

But you have to remember that this Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton's losing campaign.

I know you are mostly joking here, but I tried watching some CNN last night and it was absolutely horrible.

The real scandal here is that classified information is illegally given out by "intelligence" like candy. Very un-American!

Don: Let me see!

At least Kellyanne is doing her duty to ensure people are still aware of the Ivanka brand.

Story of the year!

WAPO: While Trump scandals mount, Chaffetz decides to investigate... a cartoon character

True, Chaffetz, after his unending probes of the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton, hasn’t shown any appetite to examine, say, the Trump administration’s ties to Russia or its many conflicts of interest. But the chairman has shown determination to probe, without fear or favor, the threat to America posed by Sid the Science Kid.

The chairman of the powerful panel — the main investigative committee in the House — sent a letter to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention demanding to know why, in an attempt to raise awareness of the Zika virus, “CDC appears poised to make a sole source award to the Jim Henson Company for $806,000 to feature Sid the Science Kid in an educational program about the virus.”

Chaffetz was quick to recognize the danger. On Jan. 26, the day after TMZ reported that the CDC was planning a Zika-education partnership with Sid, Chaffetz fired off a letter to acting CDC director Anne Schuchat, demanding a “written explanation” and “communications between CDC and the Jim Henson Company and also PBS.”

Chaffetz’s spokeswoman did not respond to a phone call and an email seeking comment.

This raises the possibility that the probe might expand beyond Sid. Can his teacher, Miss Susie, expect a subpoena? Does the inclusion of PBS in the probe suggest Curious George’s immigration status is in jeopardy? Did Bob the Builder hire undocumented workers? Is Kermit the Frog a dishonest journalist who broadcasts fake news?

Chaffetz, in closing, reminded the CDC that his committee can investigate “any matter” at “any time.”

Yes, it can — which is why it’s so appalling that Chaffetz is focusing on an animated preschooler.
