The guy who composed the memos used to be MI6 in the 1990s in Russia. Now works as a private intel firm.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/10/us/politics/donald-trump-russia-intelligence.html?ref=politics

"The memos describe sex videos involving prostitutes with Mr. Trump in a 2013 visit to a Moscow hotel. The videos were supposedly prepared as “kompromat,” or compromising material, with the possible goal of blackmailing Mr. Trump in the future."

Now
We just got back from Oregon I come in I turn on the TV and I see breaking news that Russia has compromising information both personal and financial about maggot. Also that the two camps passed information between each other so to shrink it down he's a God damned spy.

know because the FBI said "No Comment" and the Trump team said nothing and just a while ago finally said they will have a statement "later". This is the way news unfolds. If you remember when Watergate hit (I am )... it was the same way. Believe me, this story is huge, has legs and isn't going to go away. It is building. You can bet there are good journalists pursuing this and they know how big this is. During the Sessions hearing today, I believe it was Al Franken (my new hero!!!)who asked Sessions very pointed questions about what he would do if a president was coluding with Russia etc. Sessions either was totally out of the loop or acted like he was and said he never was in intel briefings so he didn't know anything about anything like that.

The Stories were in the Papers of D.C. for months before our lazy ass Politico's moved to do something. At this point,which so called News Media is going to push the story? Not anticipating any of our for Profit Media doing anything soon.

How deep? I hope we see that soon. That man should be barred from the Oval Office. He is a traitor to our Country, these are treasonous acts.

My other thought, tRump was there for the Miss Universe pageant. You know the Russians were spying on him, I will bet my bottom dollar they have vids of....to put it politely....sex acts.

Russia is like a Cosa Nostra state. Get in bed with them, so to speak, and you can never leave. Blackmail by embarrassing sexual proclivities are Russian intelligence stock and trade.

Tue Jan 10, 2017, 09:45 PM
Jan 2017

Is there doubt in anyone's mind that the GOP had to be aware of this?
Is there any doubt whatsoever that McConnell and Ryan knew they had a very damaged candidate, but they stepped back and let the greased ghoul slide through?
Why?
Why would the GOP allow someone so tainted to be their candidate?

Because they thought they could control him.
They thought they'd get away with it.

This stinks. It stinks like the Brexit vote. Something was wrong with that and something was wrong with our election.

To consider red state pukes love this man and HATE our current president, is not just a difference of opinions, not just political divisions or opposing ideologies, but pure madness. The result of intolerant morons being brainwashed by right wing propaganda for 35 years.
Something needs to be done. I can't sit idly by anymore as an elite class rapes us economically through rigging elections, and lying to an apathetic population.
Help me. What can we do? My country is too important to let this continue.
