I don't think there are enough Senators, on either side of the aisle actually, with enough morals and principles to do as you predict they would. Trump didn't burst on the scene and change the game, rather, he's the product of where we've been heading politically for multiple decades. You think too highly of those in elected office. Odd for you.

You may as well say if the Browns win the Super Bowl. The donks aren't going to win the Senate.. :lol:

35 Senate seats on the ballot (33 regular election + 2 special election). Donks would need to gain 2 seats to gain control of the Senate.
Donks have to defend 26 seats (including 2 indy that caucus with the donks), 10 in states Trump won, including several deep red states.
Conks have to defend 9 seats, 1 in a state Clinton won.

Lots of extraneous shit flies in this thread. We've had Seth Rich, Pizzagate, Deep State conspiracies, etc. All is welcome. :thumb:

I added the "Trump - Russia Megathread" part when someone complained about not being able to find it.

It was around the same time it came out that Don Jr., Kushner, and Manafort attended a meeting with a Kremlin lawyer offering info as "part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump." That's still a thing.

As is the fact that Stone was communicating with the Russian GRU agents who hacked the DNC. We'll hear more about that after Andrew Miller is finally forced to testify. :thumb:

Cohen's lawyer says he has info on the Trump Tower meeting and Trump's pre-public knowlege about the hacking. Relevant. :nod:

Andrew Miller, Roger Stone's aide who'd been resisting the investigation, flipped this evening. The FBI is now passing out immunity like candy; they clearly have a big fish or two on the radar.

Mueller: "Get me Roger Stone..."

Now let's see how long Stone takes to flip. :lol:

I am all for justice. If someone did something wrong, an appropriate price needs to be paid. Nobody should be above the law, including Trump.

But how about we do a real investigation into these as well?

Big coordinated effort to start investigating HRC and the DNC this weekend ( pushed of course by the Pres a and Fox), and now Trump is dangling the Weiner laptop emails.

He also just said that he can’t think of anything more “American” than protesting during the national anthem.

He may be back by just 4 points as of the last poll, but he’s going to lose by much more than that.

“Attorney Lanny Davis says he was an anonymous source in a July CNN story that reported his client, Michael Cohen, had privately claimed that President Trump had advance knowledge of the infamous Trump Tower meeting between his son and Russians — contradicting Davis's own words on CNN's air last week.

In the story, Cohen was reported to claim he had personally witnessed Donald Trump Jr. informing then-candidate Trump about the June 2016 meeting. Such a claim from Cohen would directly contradict Trump’s statements about his knowledge of the meeting, where Russians were set to offer dirt on Hillary Clinton.

CNN’s July 26 story has come under fresh scrutiny in recent days after Davis acknowledged he had served as an anonymous source for multiple news outlets who were seeking to confirm the CNN article in the hours after it published. Davis has backed away from the story in recent days, telling the Washington Post that he is not certain if the claim is accurate, and that he could not independently corroborate it.

Last week, Davis told Anderson Cooper, “I think the reporting of the story got mixed up in the course of a criminal investigation. We were not the source of the story.”

On Monday evening, Davis told BuzzFeed News that he regrets both his role as an anonymous source and his subsequent denial of his own involvement.

Davis told BuzzFeed News that he did, in fact, speak anonymously to CNN for its story, which cited “sources with knowledge” — meaning more than one person.

“I made a mistake,” Davis said. Regarding his comments about a month later to Cooper, he added, “I did not mean to be cute.”

After Davis publicly backtracked from the claims, the New York Post and the Washington Post outed him as their confirming source...

....After publication of this story, Davis added to BuzzFeed News that he did not lie to Cooper, but that he "unintentionally misspoke."....”

Davis: In other words I lied. And CNN, WaPo, etc..more Fake News..

There went any ounce of credibility from Cohen, as if he had any anyway.
