    Watch this.
    Yes I know, MSNBC yadda yadda...but watch it.
    As she is wont to do, Maddow tells you a long interesting seemingly unrelated story but wait for it, the payoff is there and it puts a huge context on tomorrow's hearings.

    http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/...or-backfire-1275196995963?playlist=associated

    (and before you go off on a "but Maddow!" tangent...yes she is transparently liberal and anti-Trump, but compare to Hannity. Sean just spits out random bullshit he can't support to gullible listeners. She, while doing an "opinion" show features actual reporting and tells actual narrative stories that hold together - there is a difference at least in terms of quality)

    Allah is as fake as Transformers.

    Except a Transformers religion would probably be emotionally better for you.
    I mean, if it were Michael Bay Transformers, there'd still be racism, misogyny, pedophilia, and explosions, but....but nothing, Michael Bay is Muhammad.
    He goes back in time, and he's Muhammad.
    I figured it out.

    did none of you find that hearing today worthy of comment?

    Gowdy and Goodlatte and their fellow Republicans literally lost their fucking mind. DC hasn't seen such a shitshow since Joe McCarthy left town.

    Man, Gowdy is SO fucking pissed he never pinned anything on Hillary after... how many hearings? He had to try and make himself sound tough with that "I don't give a damn what you appreciate!" line... :rofl:

    Bullshit. It doesn't matter what Strzok thinks of Russia. What matters is whether he will give Russia or Hillary (or both) a pass to stop Trump. Even if he thinks he's "saving the country".

    This shithead has major Trump derangement, and he cannot be trusted to do his job. Especially not a job like his. His decisions all need to be reviewed, at every step, for the possibility that he took any action to "protect" the country from a Trump presidency.

    To this date, there is still no evidence of any untoward links between the administration and Russia, while there is a growing shitload of evidence that "Russia" is a hoax designed to bog down Trump's admin while covering up misdeeds of the Obama administration and its fellow travelers in the bureaucracy.

    That was exactly Strzock's point. There are so many policies, procedures and controls in place at the FBI that if any personal bias did creep into his investigation, it would be revealed pretty quickly. So have at it. This will be another "EMAILS/BENGHAZI" Circus. Thee's no way your Very Stable Genius™ could withstand that sort of scrutiny which is why he can't help but try and obstruct the investigation. Gowdy, Goodlate & the rest of the GOP have made themselves complicit in selling out the country. See you in November!
    That's a boldface lie. Who was Trump's first National Security Advisor and why did he resign? Who did Trump Jr. meet with in June of 2016 in Trump tower? Why was WikiLeaks DM'ing Trump Jr. during the campaign right before the DNC email dump? Why did the Russian AlfaBank ( A bank with ties to Putin's Oligarchs) ping servers in Trump Tower repeatedly in the summer of 2016? If these things don't make you question what the hell is going on, then I can't help you, but the objective rational people in this country want answers and we are tired of the Orange Supremacist trying to derail the investigation.

    And how did George Papadopoulos know that the hacked DNC emails were going to be leaked before it was public knowledge that their servers had even been hacked?

    I usually stream Maddow on my way to work for white noise in the car. This was really a great segment that made me want to pullover a few times and watch. I've shared it with a few Trump supporters in my life and got crickets... Looking forward to a reaction.

    I look forward to the congressional testimony of the FBI Agents in New York that sabotaged the Clinton campaign to the point where they called the NY office "Trumpland." Exactly how did Rudy Giuliani know that Comey that had re-opened the Clinton email investigation a week before his letter to Congress?

    You know you’ve lost the moral high ground when you have to talk about alleged illegal and unethical acts of your enemies in the language of protecting the country from your guy.

    That's all bullshit. And the meeting in Trump Tower is exactly the kind of shit I'm talking about. That meeting appears to have been a failed entrapment attempt coordinated between Fusion GPS and the FBI. Same for the rest of it, conspiracy theory red meat with no actual links between the campaign and Russia. No matter how hard the FBI tried to tempt them into creating one.

    Not what I think Strzok was doing, but probably what he rationalized he was doing. It's how deranged liberal patriots always justify breaking the law.

    But just for you, I put scare quotes on "protect" anyway.

    Rosenstein was pretty clear that no Americans were being named, and that the Americans who these Russians communicated with did not know they were Russians.

    Collusion remains a hoax, and the DOJ continues to conceal the origin of the investigation which likely started as an excuse to secure warrants to eavesdrop on Trump's campaign.

    I'll remind you that a year ago everyone bought it was preposterous that the "dossier" was used to secure FISA warrants. Since then, there seems to be no limit to the depths of this frame job. The smart money now says that if the FBI may have been behind any "random" event involving the Trump campaign, then they probably were. We could find out for sure, of course, if Rosenstein would simply comply with Congressional oversight. Funny how he won't...

    Indeed. Except only Trumptarded people like you ever actually thought that was what the basis of the investigation was, probably because Hannity told you so. The rest of us, not so much because it's entirely reasonable that the FBI doesn't want to reveal a possibly deep cover source to the public until trial. You made up a story and have been railing against it ever since. Shove it. You're not fooling anyone.

    Actually, at first I couldn't believe the dossier was actually used to get warrants. Surely that was a joke. But then they said the dossier was the origin, before backtracking and saying the origin was really Papadapoulis. Then they were forced to admit it went back to at least when informants were planted in the campaign where it turned out they had completely set Papadapoulis up in the first place. Before that they were unmasking NSA intercepts until Mike Rogers shut that down.

    In fact, because of Heinlein's Razor I really don't know how much of this is flat-out treason, and how much is simply cover up for misdeeds that were done on behalf of Clinton when she was thought to be a shoo-in.
