General Discussion
Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI have a theory about the new leaks
coming out in the NYT about DTjr.
My thought is that Trumps catastrophic G20 trip- and the resulting meeting with Putin were he capitulated and didn't do shit- raised an alarm for some patriots within the government (who were possibly sitting on the fence about saying or doing anything until Mueller is further along) and they have HAD IT.
I also think the drip-drip-drip of info releasing from the NYT is genius. It forced DTjr to make two different statements- contradicting AND implicating himself in the second.
And now, this.

(1,683 posts)Yes, even hard line GOP conservatives who are not entangled in the Russia mess....they have hated Russia from way back.....the G20 meeting and Trump's "performance" really shocked them....you could tell this weekend and today.
Now this.

(2,168 posts)If don't trust their reporting, disregard. If you trust their reporting, take it for what it's worth. If you are on the fence, research the topic further.

As to who leaked, I'd look at someone who didn't go to the G-20.

(406 posts)He flat out dismissed and dissed IC findings AGAIN! On a world-wide stage. IDK where I said it, whether here or Twitter, but I said that something big was gonna drop, cause IC really hates it when he does that.

(94,585 posts)...the timing is likely coincidental. The Times would not suddenly receive this story and immediately publish it. They would take several days to confirm detail, write and edit what was published this weekend.

(8,419 posts)My theory is that the investigative team (Mueller) had a wee bit of a gap in the timeline, had some difficulty tying everything together. So they leaked just a bit of the info to see if the assholes would bite. Team tRump fell for it and provided comments that can be used against them and close the gap.

(4,450 posts)the Republican majority says it does and acts accordingly. In this matter, the Democrats are irrelevant, and it doesn't matter what Rachel says, or anybody else. The Republicans have to come around to the realization that TRUMP is a liability before Beavis, Butthead, or their dad feel any real hurt.
