The job hopping from FOX to the gubmint and then vice versa is reaching laughable proportions.
Trey Gowdy is headed to FOX shortly apparently.

Jeff Bezos has taken the nuclear option in the face of attempted extortion from the National Enquirer

It was all politically motivated apparently, which connects it rather neatly back to this thread.

"At least" four Grandparents... how many Grandparents does a normal Trümp voter have?

Depends, if they're on the same side of the family tree can you count them twice?

I thought a bezos story was sure to pull sneaker through the sixth gate and back into our dimension.

And ffs people. Margins.

Yupp, I can agree with this. It's either all about politics and/or race.

Add all of that to Donald Trump in the White House -- and his clear use of racial animus for his own political gain

Amazing how S13 can always see Dems being about race and sex but with the GOP it is overblown and bad policy.

Kav lies under oath about minor things then is doubted about a major thing and that is somehow the same as Fairfax.

Hey Saf, do you have a bag of pearls you dig out to clutch?

I think both parties use the race card for political gain all the time.

Time's running out for a trade deal with China. Things could get interesting on that front soon enough, the stock market's getting jittery.

That’s not using the race card. That’s saying he is racist.

Or appealing to racists.

The race card has been played on that at every opportunity as well. I don't necessarily agree with that, just like I certainly don't agree with people who equate people that voted for him as being racist bigots either.

Grassley says Mueller report is coming out "within a month". Anyone believe this?

There's been a few clues that the talking heads are reading faaaar too much into.
Part of the investigation appears to be winding down as some of the team return to previous roles.

Cohen was due to testify in front of Congress, but that was then delayed due to possible witless.... sorry witness intimidation. It was then delayed again with the blessing of Congress until Feb 28 because to do so now would likely interfere with an active investigation.
Somehow, it will no longer interfere with said investigation if it takes place on Feb 28.

Now... that might all just be smoke&mirrors or at best pertain to one part of the investigation, but it's likely there will be some significant progress this month.

As much as I want to see the end result of it all, I'd rather they really cross all T's and dot all I's and get things right, all wrapped up in a neat little bow.

The submission of a report from the investigation won't be the end of things though, it'll really just be the start. Things are going to get ugly after that, and many people are going to long for the sunny peaceful times of when the investigation was ongoing.

BREAKING: Federal prosecutors are reviewing the National Enquirer’s handling of its story about Jeff Bezos’ extramarital affair to determine if the company violated an earlier cooperation deal with prosecutors,

Apparently, as a result of the deal the Enquirer did with the Feds, if they subsequently do anything (major) illegal when they'd be in the sh1t.
And extortion would count - assuming they could actually PROVE it in court. Certainly enough to warrant an investigation.

The emails that Bezos released from the Enquirer lawyer look pretty damning from here. If it went down like Bezos said it did and they can prove that, then Pecker is in a whole wide world of shit.







Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Also, that Senate Intelligence Committee probe on Russian interference in Elections...

3/ QUOTE #1: "[Burr] acknowledges now that the investigation is broader, and perhaps more consequential, than it has long been thought to be."
So America doesn't realize how much troubling material the Senate has found—or how far-flung and important to our future the material is.

4/ QUOTE #2: "What [has]...extended the life of the [Senate] investigation...is a better understanding of...how coordinated and organized the effort was."
So it was the "coordination" and "organization" of what Russia did—uh, coordinating with *whom*?—that has shocked the Senate.

6/ QUOTE #3 (CBS): "The [probe] isn't compiling the story of one pivotal election, but of something larger, more complicated and—from a counterintelligence perspective—more nefarious.
The final report may be so highly classified that a meaningful portion may not be made public."

I'm gonna be seriously upset if we don't get enough of the report made public to be meaningful. I understand the need to classify certain stuff, but give the jist of it, c'mon!

The Intel committee did just agree to send the transcripts of the Don Trump Jr testimony (under oath) to Mueller. And about 50 other witnesses too.

So far the thought is it will confirm no collusion.

Some positives are that trolls from Breitbart and Huffington post are already let go...let's throw the enquirer out as well.

Gosh, really? Oh well, it was fun while it lasted, might as well pack up the whole investigation then.
It'd be a very, very brave person to put any stock in that 'thought' at this point in time.

It has though

My sources are telling me it won’t be published and that it’s so damaging that they are concerned it will irreprably harm how the world sees the American government.

They reckon they going to sweep this under the rug and let the state of NY take it to him.

He won't be charged with anything while he's president. It's too damaging to the country.

I'd be very prepared to believe that the SDNY will get first crack at him as the Mueller investigation outcome will quite possibly get snarled up between politics and courts for far longer than Trump will be in office.

Apparently it was horrendous he was even taking money for seats at the inauguration.

"We don't have anything that would suggest there was collusion by the Trump campaign and Russia," Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr told CBS.

Richard Burr is on the Mueller investigation? He's a busy man, sure he has time to manage a thorough investigation while being a Senator as well?

In an interview with CBS published Thursday, Burr (R-N.C.) gave glimpses into the dynamics and scope of his committee's probe, which was launched shortly before Trump's 2017 inauguration and has now stretched into its third year.

You mean a Republican senator sees no collusion!?!
