I guess he's warming to the intelligence community.
U.S. President Donald Trump has given the Central Intelligence Agency new authority to conduct drone attacks against suspected militants, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing U.S. officials.
The move would be a change from the policy of former President Barack Obama's administration of limiting the CIA's paramilitary role, the newspaper reported.

This Assange/Pence thing is pretty weird.

It's easy to imagine why Bannon's media group might turn on Ryan.
It's hard to imagine why Wikileaks might zero in on damaging Pence.
It's disturbing that these two sudden, seismic shifts in tone, aimed at high level establishment Republican figures, would happen simultaneously.

Maybe more from '90s like the leak during the campaign? I have a hard time believing it'll be more than what we already know/assume.

I'm thinking real-deal. If the C1A can't hold on to hacking tools, is the IRS really gonna be able to protect his taxes? Or it was stolen from his accountants.

Or maybe it's a trick and they belong to a different Trump. Like Eric Trump, or Joshua Trump

Apparently the Daily Beast has something and is breaking it on Maddow.

They're taking up the follow-up show with it as well. O'Donnell writes "this is the night we've been waiting for."

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what's in them, and even if it's his 1993 return or something, I'm sure there's stuff in there that's newsworthy.

Bracing myself for the inevitable Tweet from the president that acknowledges these documents are real but also calls it "fake news."

Yeah this is nothing. The portion of the 2005 return they got a hold of doesn't show sources of income, which is where they'd find a smoking gun if there was one.
